That's really awesome that you didn't kill the guy and just held him up, I'm always too paranoid that they will come back and kill me so I pretty much shoot everyone now lol.

Hate it when this happens lol, sucks even more when you're with bigger groups

Probably really late, but you need to go to Filter and uncheck passworded servers or something like that, forget what it says exactly.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you need 10 burlap sacks to make a ghillie? I haven't found any of those since I started playing again.

Sounds like a good idea for the full release, at the moment though they need to work on fixing the bugs in my opinion.

Does kind of the same thing for me, the footage is watchable and everything, and I can use video editing to bring the brightness up, but yeah I know what you mean.

I was playing with my friend and we found 2 M4's and 2 AUGs at NWAF, but we didn't find them in a heli crash, we found them in hangers, is this a bug or something? I thought they only spawned in heli crash sites? http://imgur.com/3tI1f7e

I love shotguns in DayZ, they are amazing! In real life I can use buckshot effectively for about 50 yards, but in games like COD, it seems to be point blank or completely useless!

Alright, I've been at NWAF finding nothing... Any way that you can filter so it's just non-persistent servers? Or do I just have to look for it in the title? Hell Irish, I remember when you had like 700 posts on these forums! Alright, thanks for the input man!

I have 400 hours and I've seen 1 crash site, and that was because I logged into my friend's server because they're shit at PvP and they needed me to help them ;)

While you thought it was the right move to shoot this guy dead, the real good move would be to break his legs and watch him crawl, meanwhile laughing like a maniac and screaming "Welcome to DayZ bitch!"

Ok, so I decided to start playing DayZ again for the first time since October/Novemberish. I decided first to loot Balota to get myself some basic gear, clothes food etc. I found... Food. Food, food, and more food. Weapons? Nope. I thought, maybe it's just been looted, so I went on through to the military base north of Balota. I found an SKS. That's the ONLY weapon I found in the whole compound. I don't know about you guys but I remember when I played back in the .40-.41 time, there was a shitload of low-grade weapons in the barracks. I think that's realistic, in a real military compound, even after being evacuated, would still have a ton of standard-issue firearms (Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I believe?), and I should be able to take those. I then made my way to Northwest, and I found nothing on the first run of the airfield, I thought it was looted, whatever, no big problem. I server hopped to another server, and again I found nothing at the airfield worth taking (All just canned food, paper, pens, and a shitload of makarovs, found about 30 of those no joke). I kept server hopping and I started to realize, the best gun I've found after server hopping on 5-6 servers was an MP-133 Shotgun, the shortened version that holds 4 rounds. I didn't find a single AK, No Mosins, none of these new SMGs that BI added, and it really pissed me off. What I want to know is, did they remove loot spawns? And are persistent servers affecting the loot, making it worse??? tl;dr : Are persistent servers affecting loot by making it worse, and are military areas spawning less guns than they used to.

The mask = KoS

I'd like that. I play counter strike, and I use left-handed in that. It's very strange playing right handed on DayZ...

They have it because the captor wouldn't know if they were logging out for those 30 seconds. Since you can't sitdown while handcuffed. So the character that's handcuffed would just disappear after 30 seconds.
