Would helicopters, tisy and beards make an appearance in .59?

Yeah but what you suggest is totally against realism. I do understand and agree humanity was a good thing in the mod, but most of the people loved it due to the skins you get. Realism will most likely fit the current DayZ where people can do whatever they want with no external affect to stats. Stats are bad in vanilla gameplay in my opinion. KoS will keep happening in similiar rates simply because thats what freedom means. Heck, if I am fully geared I won't interact but kill. Perhaps a mod for DayZ SA like ArmA 3 Breaking Point or DayZ Origins where you progress towards a goal and killing people affects progression either way will bring different results. But realism means that you will decide your playstyle and nothing should affect your character by killing a player. Heck, adding humanity or stats of some sort will make players want to kill others more. The devs can't limit KoS directly because that's gonna be very BS towards most of the players.

Ye I think the lid thing is just an animation. When its in a closed phase you can't interact with the inventory and you can pick it up if it's empty. Vice versa for open phase.

The character screen is just a setting that has nothing ro do with your ingame character(s). Everytime you disconnect from a server it tries to replocate your last character but it's nothing you can't change from your profile. If you go to Documents > DayZ and edit your profile's setting file you should be able to edit how the screen menu will look like. Heck, you can give your menu character a VSS. And no, you won't get banned or whatever.

Been on heli crash hunting for like a day and not a single SVD in those russian heli copters.

To enjoy the game you need to understand the game. To do that you need to go to a 50 players server, run to elektro and shout "Friendly!" at people and see how they react.

Welcome. If you'll say this is a shit game we will hunt you until your very last breathe enjoy your stay.

CLE doeant involve loot outside their spawn area. Bases and loot economy should have no effect on eachother.

All military weapons are efficient. Each weapon has its ups and downs. The most powerful weapon must be the SVD which is the rarest weapon in the game. 7.62x54 should be the best caliber although last time I checked it is very similiar to the 308 with only difference in air friction and etc.. My favourite weapon is the SVD simply because I'm a sniper man but I only held one once.

Tent cities are your best bet. Or helicrashes. Helicrashes are relatively easy to find and involve less risk.

This is so evil... You can find an entire base take what you can and leave the rest to disappear

The persistance of storage objects is stored on the servers themselves I think. Since each server uses its own hive for barrel and tent persistence. Therefore connection to the main hive shouldn't matter - just saying :D

I stopped playing DayZ about a week ago. But I had 2 barrels with an AUG, Mosin, ammo and M4 optics. It was there for a few days but I stopped checking since I stopped playing. So I guess the server has persistence off in your case.

I guess other cactusmen can feel me right now :(

Cherno is epic. Looks way more similiar to its real life counter part! I've always thought Cherno wasn't that better than Elektro but now I see why it truely is the capital of eastern chernarus.

Looks like an epic update.

It has been over an hour. I want my money back!

There isn't much to do. This is how ArmA works sadly. They said performance will be significantly improved once the new renderer comes out. I have a good 60-50 fps rate but when I am in or I look towards electro I'm down to 30-20. If you want a better experience you'll need a better PC.

Started as a thread about .59 experimental. Turned into an arguement about development. Became a tulip discussion. DayZ, this is your story. 9/11 would buy again.

Yeah I mean what the fuck they released ArmA 3 and it's just an arma 2 reskin with attachments and clothes what the fuck couldn't they released it as DLC or something. Every game is recycled and basically it's all one big reskin of operation flashpoint. This is all a big scam as far as it goes to 2001. Everyday these BIS employees are sitting at their office doing nothing and they get a salary for it. Fuck this shit, I'm moving to Call of Duty where every title is developed up from scratch with new and different features. Shame on you BIS - this guy above me knows how things are going.

Did people who haven't played during the attacks got a reset? I won't be able to check anytime soon :(

I;ve been running approximately 2 hours west from Kamenka. haven't seen tents - any further directions?

All cool, you can find live info on DevTracker. It's usually updated with basic info.

It was a demo shot. If I'd throw a grenade at your leg, I bet you're leap 6 times before landing (not rly)

FAKE!!!!!1111 ZOMBIE AT THE END!!
