rule no.1 in dayz: Best protection against KoS is KoS Been alive since 0.57 hit the fan and haven't been killed before that either.

Did u seriously camp the heli on an empty server? Well done there :p

*cries* and yes they are tears of joy! Loot is spawning at a restart because persistence is off. They are trying to fix the REspawning of loot, not the spawning. It is a big difference mate. ;) wait a second... Will dropped items also count as 'loot' and therfor despawn after a while? Or is it just for untouched stuff?

sorry

OK, thanks all. I think it happened because I was in a firefight shortly before restart, which got me pretty low on blood. I've managed to survive and bandage about 2 minutes before restart and when I logged back in I was "unconcious" for about 5 minutes. Woke up, ran into cover and ate and drank tons of stuff without seeing "energized" or even "stuffed". After a while I decided to re-log and then the status "energized" and "hydrated" showed correctly. I ate some more until i was "stuffed" and my energy/hydration was on full light green. Waited for the "healing" message the whole time after that but it never showed up.

What if I knock you over the head and take all your gear and after a while, when you have looted up again, I will do it all over again. Does this count as Mulit-Person role?

I have to disagree. Walkie talkies are one of the best features since you wont know everyone on a 50plyer server. Right now there is no way to talk to ppl other than in direct or via teamspeak. Walkie Talkies will enable players to communicate over greater distances without them knowing each other or each others location. Frankly one of the best items in game. Unfortunately nobody uses them atm.

Any reason why I can't get back to 'healthy' or at least 'healing' once hurt? I am again fully green (bright) and all limps are still attached, yet the screen stays black/white even after several relogs and one server restart.

Nailed it! I mean, I've found a box of nails in one of the houses in that little holiday village close (south-east-ish) to kamensk. Now I have to find a baseball bat :D

OR... the devs could just release the changelog like they have done it every single time before current update. This is NOT a game. It's an alpha version of a potential game. We are testing, remember? Like, giving feedback to the devs and whatnot. It would also be really helpful in terms of TESTING(!) if we would have a clue which of the many bugs can be considered as "known bugs/issues" (sorry for saying it again and again, but the devs really don't seem to want to make it any easier (less annoying) for us)

so, can we have the changelog then?

first: can we have a link to the changelog? Preferably on OP post second: Is persistence enabled for tents on current stable version?

Why the serious F can't I equip my weapon after some time playing? Seriously, don't they test their crap before they release it? Would take a minute or two to spot the most obvious fails.

I long for them update notes

OK, so far so good. But that means there has to be some kind of protection against people who are switching shards to get into someones base. Or you just can't have a base :p

Thanks for clarification and, well, the game ^^ Sry if this is a stupid question but how does loot, inventory, tents, etc work with those shards - public and private? For example, will I be able to log off at any point on the map with all my gear on one shard and log back in with all my gear at the same location but on a different shard? Will there be some kind of restriction to prevent players from logging into someone's base in future versions?

Dude, just shoot harder! Take your gun, aim a bit and shoot really really hard. Sometimes screaming out loud while pulling the trigger also does the trick. (jeez, what a nub) :p

Hungry? Have some apple! I'm serious, I was 'dying from starvation' already when I decided not to give up this one time - So I walked up to one of them apple trees, screen already fading grey, and used the "search for apples"-feature. After about 15-20 minutes I was energized and hydrated to the max. (The only weird thing is, it just won't show the 'healing'-thingy, even though both indicators are on bright green. Screen is still grey) (The even weirder thing is, how can my guy first fail to see apples on an apple tree and after several attempts he finally finds one apple? I mean, either there are apples or there are no apples, right? It's an apple tree! I mean, it's not as if apples are sneaky little buggers which are trying to hide behind leafs just in case they get picked. Just failing to "see" them while dying from starvation seems pretty ironic in a survival game like dayz)

That's not quiet true. There is stuff spawning but since loot-mechanics are still a bit derpy, there might be places with loot-overflow and places with no loot at all. Unfortunately the devs, unlike in every other early access game I have ever taken part in, have no concerns about playabiltiy or players frustration level. Sadly they think just because it's alpha they don't have to fix the most game-breaking bugs before they add new hats...

I, on the other hand, seem to have finally got it. Anyone else noticed how I have stopped most of my ranting? I think I finally understood 'early access alpha' I UNDERSTAND!!!

whow, that's some serious scoping... where did you find it?

oh, thx

public servers down? I can only see experimental servers and some of my favorite private stable servers...

hey, there a some really good tubers right now but it's true, there aren't many new vids or a high frequency of uploads. Frankie stopped playing since there is more money to make in other gameplay vids :D If you are looking for 'hardcore survival bromance' check out the channel of 'MrBlackout81' If you like the dickheadish part of dayz go to 'JamJar's channel. They both play together a lot of times. Both tubers are nice to watch and they usually have really good gameplay footage.

I bought the game for the lolz
