Hi this is a Poll on tents Currently the Tents are set to persist on the server you placed them on. A lot of people like this because many are not fans of public hives in the first place but that whole discussion aside I see some negatives to having tents tied to a server. I think tents should be present on the server you last logged out on until you rejoin another server and then they follow you there. This way people can still steal from you until you log back in again. This will not fully stop people using low pop servers to hide their tents cause many could just hop into a low pop server before they quit for the day BUT it would allow the tent to be robbed while the player is on a high pop server or in the event they did not have time to hop to a lower pop server. Here are my reasons on why they should not be tied to just one server: 1. Players will park their tents on low pop servers and then hop to high pop servers for pvp. This protects their tents and creates unnatural state of gameplay where they can protect their tents. If the tent followed the player to the high pop server then he would be at risk of losing his gear in the tent the same as he would be losing the gear he has on his body. The draw of Dayz is the permadeath and loss you feel when you die. If people want to hop into high pop servers for POP they should also risk losing their insurance policy. 2. Servers get taken down and renamed or switched from stable to HC at a moments notice often by admins. This results in you losing your tents and gear. If the tent follow you in the public hive then you do not lose all your gear because an admin decided to shut the server down or switch it between regular/HC 3. Those who want tents tied to a particular server because they prefer private hives will get their wish when they allow for private hives. Right now we have two situations that do not make sense. On one hand the player is on a public hive and the other the tent is essentially private.

So the real question is where is the RAK? Not even on the experimental have I found it

The longhorn's range and scope suck Do not bother with it the SKS is better at range then the longhorn is with a better scope in the PU scope and can be ranged Upclose obviously the SKS rocks the long horns world The longhorn would only be decent if it had an LRS on it cause then it would be a pocket sniper rifle but it is not

This is why I like Frosti..... If there were to be a perfect way to play as KOS he would be the man No words, no deception, he will just try and kill you no matter what. None of this "avoid players til i am geared then kill the weaker ones" nonsense. He will kill anyone he comes across i tremble the day he joins my server

No torture. I kill them take what I need and then leave I have killed my fair share of people taking their time torturing someone. IMO they need to add a way to restrain and drag a player somewhere like in stomping land. I would let them live once koed in those situations

I was thinking the same logic when placing a tent would apply and it would automatically move to nearest spot it could fit But seem most are against this by a long shot so the masses have spoke ;)

Well Regular character has acquired 1 stock had to check every barrack from NWAF down to Zelengorsk Almost got killed by the LMB bug when i went to ax 3 zombies outside zelengorsk only to discover that i could not longer attack... At least i was quick and escaped without being hit and lured them to a red deer! Testing the dispersion/kick/accuracy with the black buttstock I can not notice any major improvements. If anything there is just the placebo effect right now but it looks nice with my night time stalking setup so I guess ill now venture the same on my HC character.

If you want a tent there is one on the Dingo Vilaryer server just north of Lopatino. North and along the road of that building complext north of Lopatino is a chicken coop. It can be seen from the dirt road which takes you to the NWAF off the main road heading north of Lopatino. There is a tent in the coop go get it cause I cant put my M4 down to pick it up :( Enjoy anyone who bothers to go get it. If I am on I can escort u if you want

Dingo vilayer it says it right in the post. there is a dingo reg and hc i found the tent on regular. Server has 4 hour restarts

Yeah it only spawns on the gun. Exp .48 they spawn all over the place but I have not found a pristine buttstock yet. do you know anything about the stats? You guys seem to dig up numbers from the game files from time to time but nothing is ever posted on the vs wiki/dayzintel sites stats wise

Looking for pristine Combat Knifes (not bayonets) I am willing to part with an ACOG scope (pristine also) for one (this is on regular)

I heard a rumor that the AK101 buttstock is the best buttstock for the AKM and reduces dispersion more than the other two.... I assumed this would be the thread and the people to ask..Should I go hunt down an AK101 buttstock ? Plastic is kinda lame but if it is better then I guess it gives me something to do and the black goes well with my night setup I suppose

If you can get me a an Ak101 plastic buttstock in pristine shape I can trade you a longhorn

kinda confused isn't the current situation where tents persist on one server and the player is persisting cross server exactly what "Because cross server persistence and sever specific persistence at the same time is silly" is?

right but that will never happen with a public hive. On the experimental servers you can hop all you want there is no loot and it does not respawn quickly. I would say you have better odds hunting players down for loot as opposed to hopping. i cleared all of NWAF and vybor on my own on a near empty server and then came back over an hour later and all I got was a weapon flashlight out of the whole thing. But who knows what they have in store with respawns. As long as a public hive exists there will be server hopping now way around it. Not saying I think it is a good thing it is just one of the side effects. Just like giving admins too much control in the old mod resulted in free loots for everybody servers

So anyone notice how the Gorka gear states it is for the CDF members stationed at Gorka military base? BUT there is no Gorka Military base ! maybe they will add a Gorka base? That would be cool since Gorka is center of the map I imagine it would be even more dangerous then NEAF as forces converge from all sides.

"13. Got my first kill in a long, long, long while at NWAF today. Respawning loot and persistent items is/are clearly not stopping server hopping at all. Under ten people on most servers should be a dead giveaway that - one, there are too many servers in the first place in relation to in-game population at any given time, and two, that people are more likely to migrate to less-risky servers to farm loot." In regards to the above I have been playing on experimental .48 where the loot respawns are much slower and more gradual/cannot be exploited. Here is the "server hopping" trend i have noticed. With only a few experimental servers which are all starting at 1500 and then restarting 4 hours later at 1900 which then resets them back to 1500 I have been on a server at 1900 right as it restarts and the NWAF/Vybor area is picked totally clean. There will maybe be 3-4 of us on the server. As soon as the server restarts wihtin 15 mins there will be 20-30 people on. Still no loot since it does not magically respawn on restart anymore. People will then play until nightfall hits again and then the server empties back down to 3-5 people. It seems server hopping on experimental with the new Loot respawn mechanic is mainly being driven by night vs day not loot vs no loot cause practically none of the servers have any loot. You may find 3-5 pieces of worthwhile gear in an entire NWAF run of stuff which respawned but that is about it. So based on the above i believe loot respawns will prove to make server hopping for loot futile. This may of course change if there is a much larger server pool like there is on stable but at the same time stable has a much larger player pool so hard to say. Sadly no one wants to play at night which is my favorite time for hunting :( I also think low pop servers are ok and just because there are less than 10 people on does not mean they are server hoppers. I like to play at night and can rarely find a server with more than 10 on at night with decent ping. Also until patch .48 you would die just for entering buildings often due to server lag when there were more than 20 people online. Oftentimes my play choices were limited to: play on a server with high pop but avoid going upstairs or play on a low pop server and be able to go upstairs...

not that i noticed i still have two primaries

My RIS HG is pristine but that is moot since none of us are going to trade them away I am sure... I am waiting for the tents/persistence on stable to stash mine away for now :)

u know those 60 rounds cant be used right ;) ?

Rofl use the trading post thread no one has M4s to trade cause they and their attachments have not spawned since patch .45 Which is why I stocked up on them as soon as heli crashes stopped spawning

No difference

I found mine in a chicken coop and it was badly damaged. Then after playing around with it some it became pristine :)

Fall distances should be worked but the bigger issue at hand is how the game decides you have fallen... Many have died on ladders cause the game thinks you fell off of it. Also I have gone to climb down a ladder and had it throw me off the ladder before and kill me (my last regular mode death) Or the fact that going to the second floor on a highly populated server will sometimes cause the game to think your still on the first floor and that you must have fallen and then kill you. The game seems all to happy to decide you have broken a leg or died without a second though

anyone manage to find a pristine tent in the chicken coops? I only seen people find badly dmged one. Mine is also badly dmged
