Mr Jizz

Just wondering if anyone else experienced a wipe of their tents and stashes in the past 24 hours. I might have accepted it was the result of player activity while I was offline, but for the number of tents (4 car, 2 civilian), barrels, and buried stashes in very random secluded/spread-out places suggests a wipe.

I've wondered the same thing, but I've reasoned it can't be that. Our very first tent was erected about 3 weeks ago, and our most recent car tent was added early last week - they all disappeared the same day (Sunday morning). This has all the signs of a "wipe", which I thought was a thing of the past. I'm concerned with putting much time into the game at this point since any effort could just be arbitrarily wiped.

I've assumed persistence is in-game since we were able to maintain 4 car tents and a dozen stashes over the course of a couple weeks.

Be sure to file bug reports, gents.

Pretty sure I've completely topped off the radiator - still smokes. Any thoughts?

I'm hitting "like" on this

I saw this topic on a reddit thread, without resolution. I'm not sure if it's a bug, a balancing issue or my own incompetence ;) Long story short, after no small amount of effort I got a Lada running with about 3 bottles of water in a pristine radiator, and the thing started smoking almost immediately. While driving down a path, I hit what I can only assume was ghost, and the car stopped. The radiator was ruined, and the car wouldn't start (despite having a pristine good battery, plug, oil, gas and three wheels). I ran to retrieve a second radiator I stashed, and upon return there was little more than the whisp of smoke coming from the spot where the car had been. The car was full of gear and only the radiator was ruined. It took all of 15 minutes for me to fetch the radiator when for the car to vanish, so I dont believe the server reset. I know others have experienced this, but I'm not sure what I'm missing. Is there a step involving a tool (like the wrench) that I missed?

I get that. I'm merely commenting that the devs need to give you more than a few minutes to manage a ruined car situation before the thing just vanishes - bad for immersion :P I also wish there was some visible marker of a ruined car. I was able to ascertain that the radiator was ruined, but the car didn't have a status that I could see. Keep in mind, I hit "a ghost".... as in, the road I was driving had a clipping bug in it.

I think part of the problem is how quickly the ruined car despawns.

As the title suggests, I'm at a loss here. I've found (at least) 4 SMERSH vests, 3 ACOGs, 4 RDS, 3 FNX, 2 FNX-RDS sights, dozens of mags and attachments, and an AUG - but not a single M4 (Not to mention about 50 raincoats). Anyone else feeling like the loot tables were rebalanced or perhaps they're not spawning at all? I'm ok with being wrong about this, but I feel like my hit-rate on 0.52 for M4's was about 1 in 6 smoker crashes... Now its like 0 for 20

You've inspired me. I will keep looking. Is he/you havning most success in Persistence-Off or in both?

dag :(

Haven't seen an M4 since the patch either - same story, been to a lot of heli's

I can second that. I would defer to a Vybor aficionado to verify its also not spawning in barracks.

Wait what?? Can anyone confirm this? I saw in a different post a screenshot with smoke, but I'm willing to believe it isn't working with not seeing a crash since the patch.

Been watching this myself, pretty sure they tweeted "3 hour maintenance at 08:00 (GMT+1)" which would have been 02:00 here in the eastern US. So 6 hours for "maintenance" seems a bit excessive. Everything and everybody has been getting hacked these days, so who knows.

Hopefully you also verified that you didn't accidentally enter a Private hive. I've done this before and panicked, only to realize that it was a Private hive I absentmindedly entered. One thing I'll always do if it seems like my Public character has been reset is to go back to the last server where everything was correct (my gear, location, etc.). Since 0.51 it works 10 out of 10 times. Something that I noticed in previous builds is that my character would only appear reset on a particular server provider- for example, if I was playing in Villayer servers and switched to a Fragnet server to find my character reset, going back to any Villayer server would load my correct character.

Keep us posted!

I'll assume the dress code is business casual. I'm in, if there's room.

Care to share where you witnessed this phenomenon?

May I ask why?

here's something else I've been wondering.. if helicopter crashes spawn in persistent public-hive servers, is the location of the three choppers identical from one server to the next, or is it unique to every single server?

Are you talking about the barn that sits to the NW of downtown Zelenegorsk or the one to the south on the hill near the green mountain tower?

I was going to make a whole post about how I'm too old to believe in helicopter crashes and tie it into Santa.. but here we are. Ran the gauntlet from Lupatino to south of Zelenogorsk and back TWICE in different servers, and haven't seen a single one. I'd really love a definitive answer from someone who has seen a crash site (like today) in a persistence-enabled server. I really hope we're not back to this invisible crap.. I NEED AN AMMO CAN SOOO BAD :( A separate question- when there IS smoke to be seen on a crash, about how far is the maximum render for the smoke? In other words, how close do I need to be to see the smoke plume?

So the whole Persistence On/Off isn't a thing anymore?? It was just a week ago that people were telling me crashes were only visible in servers with Persistence off.
