What use would a tent be to you when you can only pitch it for a few hours and if you get session lost you lose it?

I think the right question is: when do we get persistent objects? Tents (or more general - persistent containers in whatever form) will follow after that As I understood the first steps to create persistent objects are being taken by the devs.

In 44 I think you could almost always find a weapon and/or ammo in the small wood cabins with blue trimming, now they are always empty too.

Second monitor ftw :) too many changes to the map to keep printing it, but for basic navigation it's fine I guess. But once the game is finished it would be nice to have a large printable map, or perhaps one you can order as merchandise. (which they may not do since it defeats the purpose og the in game map)

Lol, I heard that same tapping sound the other day in the woods north of NWAF. At first I thought it was maybe a MP5 since I never heard that being shot yet. I tried to narrow down the source but never saw or found any thing or anyone. Figures that the woods at that spot are haunted too...

Nice, thanks!

Wait, there are caves?

I don't really understand the problem. Right now you spawn always in the east. Both of you walk with the sun to your right side until you reach the coast and railroad track (choose a calm server). You both run along the track until you both find a city name, now you both know where you are in relation to each other and can now follow the track towards each other.

Oh dear, I never played the mod so I may have a disadvantage...well I will do what I can and in any case, the red dot is not that hard to find, just haven't played much with this character lately. BTW it's great you are putting together a quiz! I'm sure it will be fun.

Please do NOT disclose the server except through PM's, personally I would not have disclosed info about the location too but maybe I am just to overprotective for my character that was born on april 3 2014 :) How sad a person would you have to be to try and crash a get together like this just to spoil the fun of others? I'm just not so sure some sick person wouldn't consider it funny... Anyhow, I will be able to make it sunday, but maybe a half hour / 45 mins later. I will try to make some recordings too. Decided to drop the firewood and sticks since we can get that easily in the area and did another short looting run. Now also have a worn LRS and CR75 mag next to the stuff I already mentioned. All of my extras will be free for others but I would be in the market for a red dot sight for my FNX. See ya'll sunday!

Uhm, just wanted to let you know my character on stable / hardcore has a M4 and I have much ammo all in 60 round stacks. Not because I'm a hacker but because my character survived over 3 months, so be careful with you assumptions.

Well Holland will not be in the final so I may be able to join, not 100% sure yet, I'm trying to ditch a prior engagement ;) But I have a gas lamp with large cannister, have sticks, firewood and rags for a fire (no matches yet) for that boy scout feel. Also have a little extra food, a psu scope, a sks clip and some extra ammo for who needs it, also some 5.56 and .45 ammo and maybe a FNX magazine I can miss. May try to get some more extra's if I find the time. Also have one dose of morphine for extra party pleasure. To check my hardcore stable character's condition I logged in again on stable (usually play experimental) and moved him to Devil's Castle, so I'm in the NE region ready for action :)

Well I build it in 2009 and since then upgraded videocard and added extra 4 GB RAM and monitor - total cost about 1300 € today, but of course parts cost was higher back then and it also includes the case, which I will re-use and the OS and gaming mouse (Logitech g500s). Thinking about building a new system by the time DAYZ SA is ready for offical release, hope it will last that long. So far it runs most games fine on normal to high settings, excluding our beloved DAYZ SA of course ;)

I just made an edit in my previous post --> :(

Oh cool, yes! 1 pm (19:00 for me) is possible so I'd like to join! Edit: oops I now see it is planned on sunday and not friday any more. Hmm, I may be able to make that but it depends on some things, one of which is if Holland makes it to the world cup final (soccer). So, not quite sure yet.

There should be plenty time to start a hardcore character with some basic gear?

Pity, it's too late for me as I am in Europe (would be 2 am for me - GMT+1) Have fun any way :)

Doesn't have to be a tree, you can get kindling (sticks) from a bush too. I don't carry extra sticks any more but I do make sure to always have rags in 2 different places in my inventory. BTW, never keep valuable items in your pants as they may get ruined the same time you break your legs. I use the pants only for food and drink since they are not critical (when healthy) and can be found again easily.

I confirm this, just made one today on 0.47, BTW it is larger than the backpack crafted from a burlap sack. For some reason you can un-craft a backpack into sticks and sack but cannot retrieve the rope, which is a pity. Same goes for the fishing rod, you don't get the rope back.

I am sure that this has been mentioned somewhere before but I couldn't find a topic. Many of you may already know this but some probably don't. You find The Big Dipper which will be usually low on the horizon and draw an imaginary line to the first bright star which will be Polaris aka the North Star so you can also determine W,E and S. You may have to get up on higher ground to find The Big Dipper and obviously it will only work with no or few clouds. Just handy to know if you don't have a compass.

I have about the same performance --> specs below

Only time I ever died by the hands of a zombie was in the first hours of playing and an occasional desync moment in which a weapon would not have helped. So I don't understand why Z's are such a problem for some people. As said you can fight them with your fists or simply out run them. I would suggest you offer up some spawn lives to train yourself fighting and avoiding the zombies.

The messages don't bother me as much as the OP but I do agree that they serve no purpose or interesting information and could be left out.

So far I never even saw 1 grenade...have several hours of looting military locations in 0.47.

For me at this stage in the game it's gearing up, getting decent weapons to defend myself and then go and try the new features in the game. Finding an ash stick or tree to chop it from, then find a fish hook and a rope and a shuffle or hoe to dig up worms has taken me hours so far just to try fishing for the first time. Then find a knife, a gas cannister and a burner, a cooking pot or pan to bake the fish fillets. Or, find some matches, rags, chop some sticks and firewood and prepare them on an open fire. Or, if fish is not your thing, try to find some wild game and prepare that meat. Belief me, doing just these things can take up hours of gameplay...
