    .58 Player DeSync

    I haven't experienced any of these issues, and I haven't seen any other complaints, so it's possible the issue is isolated to you, and perhaps a small minority (who for whatever reason aren't reporting it?) Nice job, tossing in the snide little dig at the developers though, I'm sure that will sway them to your aid. Also- bug reporting section.

    Tactical bacon is actually real..!?

    My wife has a bunch. It's passable, not bad. Very, very greasy. And a little rubbery.

    Truck noise makes me want to KILL

    The value of trucks is almost off the charts for some players. It makes them irresistible bait. My groups new favorite hobby is to park one in the middle of the road between Kamy and Berenzio, hobble it (remove one front tire, strip battery/plug) and then wait. We toss some food into it, maybe a canteen, etc. Fresh spawns we let take what they need, geared dudes (and dudettes, we're equal opportunity) we pick off. More loot for the wandering freshies.

    Where to find Truck Batterys?

    After about three hours of searching I found one in the little shed about ten feet from a truck in Pogorevka. Still no glow plugs.
  5. I'm renting a private shard server to avoid this. Find my loots, build a camp, get cozy, and then remove the password. Additional bonus: No ghosting players because I'm on an isolated shard.
  6. Just because your idea is "simple," that doesn't mean instituting it will be. It ain't going to happen. There are a myriad number of ways around ANY "simple" solution you can come up with, short of having a guard physically standing behind each player to make sure they abide by your convoluted rule set.

    TIL that DayZ runs much smoother on Windows 10.

    I upgraded from 8.1 to 10, but found some compatibility issues with my installed software. So I used the media creation device to make an ISO and did a fresh W10 install. Definitely feels smoother in DayZ than W8.1. Though my wife is still running Windows 7 and seems to plays with the same smoothness. ( I also forced the upgrade. To hell with waiting for microsoft. )
  8. I find them everywhere. Pub, garages, kitchen tables.

    DayZ is a game about theft.

    The game IS about theft, and that's why I KOS anyone wearing ANYTHING other than full on bambi starter gear. Anything you have on, you looted. It's not yours. You thieving scum. So I kill you. Then I take your stuff and either disperse it throughout the land, or hold onto it until the rightful owner returns. I don't want your stuff. I just don't want you to have it. http://youtu.be/REDvY4zUVrc?t=3m49s
  10. Anyone pretending that acquiring the amount of gear a "long-term survivor" has takes more than two hours to find is either: A. Full of shit. B. Full of themselves. C. Really, really, truly bad at scavenging. The wipe isn't punishing anyone, nothing you have now can't be replaced by walking around and finding it again. Get over yourselves.
  11. It's not being done solely to combat dupers. If it were, wipes would be occurring more often. The tone I'm getting out of this is a lot of petulance. Entitlement even, loathe as I am to use the term. Regardless, at the end of the day, we're here to test the game. Not acquire and collect loot. Wipes should be expected as a necessary component of testing. Don't turn in to Smeagol, people.
  12. It ruins nothing. The gear is all pixels, and you can find it all again. This game is basically a scavenger hunt- not an episode of hoarders. Hunting for stuff is the (currently) the best part of this game.

    Helicopter crash differences

    Found a grenade in the Persistent Helicopter Crash site yesterday.
  14. We get it. You're a duper. And you think it's okay, because others are doing worse things. But duping is cheating, "hacking" is cheating. They're one in the same. You're a cheater, regardless of how you spin it. Hey, what happens when someone who doesn't cheat runs into you with your infinite ammo? Do you pause after every thirty shots, and pretend to reload? Didn't think so. ( Spare me whatever rationalization you've got queued up for that scenario. ) This clean wipe is going to hurt all the cheaters, Yourself included. Nobody else is going to feel bad about it for you. Your real issue here seems to be frustration at not being able to re-dupe your ammo after the wipe, which just suggests you're not as smart as some of the other cheaters. Which in all honesty, was fairly obvious from this series of "duping ain't so bad" posts.
  15. A friend of mine had a hand in making this, so I thought I'd share it on his behalf. He's not a gamer. ;-)

    Accidental Survivor

    After deciding the end was near and rushing into the warzone that was Berinzino, I inexplicably find myself in a far better state than I started off in. I attribute the ending to sheer dumb luck, both in to regards to hitting the guy in the first place, and deciding to run at his position with nothing but my axe when I still believed him to be alive and dangerous. I've since logged back in and found the vest, which appeared empty to be full of medical supplies and a single can of beans, which I needed quite badly. The ammo can also contained full stacks of 5.56 ammunition. I regret not grabbing his shirt or pants, but in hindsight I think the zombie would have killed me if I'd taken any extra time before starting to bandage. I don't know if this guy was duping or not, but I'm very grateful for the find, given my situation. And grateful I apparently shot him in the face, because everything I took is pristine. Reviewing the video after the fact, I see how lucky I was in grabbing his rifle- he had two on him, and the one I grabbed initially had much few attatchments. I was bleeding to death, (potentially) under fire, and didn't notice at the time. Thankfully I panic-grabbed the AK101 a second time off his body, not realizing it was another weapon entirely. The one I left with is quite nice.

    Changing tactics.....

    Four my man, four. I was stunned to survive them. Even more stunned to still be alive. This dude had a rough go. This was his birth on the first day of .48

    Right? Can't even go into town these days without getting my peacoat ruined. Pimpin' is no longer easy.

    No 1pp official servers?

    It's possible I'm just failing hard when it comes to browser..browsing. But I have yet to find an official server running 1pp, i.e. persistence enabled. Kind of bumming me out. I'd like to stash goodies in my tent, but can't stand the idea of playing 3pp again.

    No 1pp official servers?

    I'm not searching for "official" just the standardized BHI server titles. None are running 1pp, and none are listed as persistence enabled, except experimental, and a single, locked server. I think Khanarac is right. Sucks that I have to play 3pp to use my tent. If I wanted to play a game where everyone got periscopes, I'd buy a sub simulator.
  22. I haven't had this issue since the launch of the mod, but over the past few days I've noticed the sound quality seems to have dropped a bit. I'm not hearing gunshots on occasion, even when I'm the one firing. Last night, I was shot. Neither I, nor my hombres heard the shot. The second and third, yes. But not the one that took me off my feet. And you can SEE the guy shooting from the top of the firehouse. Is anyone else experiencing this, or have I finally reached the maximum saturation for porn & malware on one PC- and this bug is the result?

    Just now gave the 1911 a chance...

    'Murica. In all seriousness, I've found three. Fancy, but I prefer the FNX for the added capacity.

    Any news on 100 Slot servers?

    Hell, it's already costing me nearly $70 to rent a 30 person server, and that's with so little administrative control it's borderline criminal. I can't wait to see how much a 100 player server will cost.

    Recording gameplay

    Shadowplay is amazing. I was never a fan of Nvidia, but I switched cards just to take advantage of Shadowplay. If that's not an option, DXtory is the next best, low resource program I can recommend.
