I managed to get a tent to persist/not be found a few days ago, and it's beginning to change the way I play a bit - giving me more reason to get out and hoard food, purification tabs, medicines, etc. Truck persistence + tent persistence is one of the (potential) upsides of 0.55 for me. I also just managed to nick someone else's tent and its contents, which I felt a bit bad about, but they'd put it somewhere a little too obvious. My problem now isn't tents - it's garden plots, which don't seem to persist for me.

Nope.

Frying pan + cooking tripod does not work?
Mookie (original) replied to Johnnyjohnny's topic in General Discussion
The pan has never worked IME. It's main use is as a comedy melee weapon. -
Another exciting new mechanic for 0.55. :P

I broke my v3s's front wheels, how can I replace/repair them?
Mookie (original) replied to the_governor's topic in New Player Discussion
Sounds to me like the crash gave your truck a fuel leak, as well as wrecked tyres. This is pretty common, and again should repair itself on restart. -
Really, really useful, thanks for posting. Actually, hydration is a problem for me, which is why I tend to avoid eating rice and prefer tinned food. But, yes, tactical bacon is not great.

Yes I can see that. I'm not one of the "oh no, 0.55 has broken the game forever" people. It's less a point about content, and more a point about the effect that it may or will have on the player base. I think it's too easy to lapse into clichés about people who play the game differently to you or I, or who enjoy different things about it. In an ideal world, the game should support as wide a variety of playstyles as possible - whatever one thinks of them.

Can I politely point out that you're the one calling people assholes.... :P

Balanced, well written post Rick, have beans. Agree with you that, while we have to get through development stages, the fact that 0.55 is seriously discouraging people from playing, let alone enjoying the game is a problem (especially for a game that needs feedback). The elitists may well end up getting what they want, but they could end up being a lonely and dwindling crew.

Bear trap is definitely in - found one earlier.

For what this is worth, I'm definitely detecting an upswing in loot (since that mini patch yesterday? Or perhaps as a consequence of a wipe?). Also for what it's worth, some loot is still very tightly tied to locations. If I need an Orel uniform or a pair of handcuffs, there's a particular spot in my neck of the woods where they will always spawn. Since yesterday, the same seems to go for SKSs.

Can someone please help me understand "persistence"
Mookie (original) replied to billyangstadt's topic in General Discussion
I'm not convinced by some of this apparent logic. With 0.55, persistence is 'mandatory' (I'm quoting) for all servers. As with most recent updates, the descriptors in the server names are often out of date. We do know that persistence is definitely not working with many servers (whatever their name says). My hunch is that a lot of clan servers have forced wipes on restart - which is a kind of 'persistence off'... But yes, whatever the case, do not count on any tents or otherwise 'persistent' items to be retained, other than what you are actually carrying. Perhaps too much to hope for any hotfix tomorrow? -
server consistency from patch 0.55 upwards
Mookie (original) replied to S3V3N's topic in General Discussion
I do appreciate that the devs try to communicate with us proles - especially in the context of a public holiday weekend for much of Europe. But the confusion seems to be getting worse and worse. I have pretty much no idea what's up with persistence. I'm taking an educated guess (but actually am not that sure) what's up with heli crash spawns. And please don't get me started on the loot economy. I don't think I'm alone in not knowing what is deliberate in 0.55 and what is not. It would be really nice to know. -
Can a server admin force a restart such that it deletes apparently persistent content such as tents and gardens? Last night I went to some pains building camps with both on public clan servers. Now all has disappeared. And these were in seriously out of the way places on the map.

Tents and persistence. Again
Mookie (original) replied to Mookie (original)'s topic in General Discussion
Thank you, I agree with you entirely and bow to your rapier-like repartee. Now, please God for the good of us who are trying to understand this, what was that very brief constructive contribution you made about servers? -
Tents and persistence. Again
Mookie (original) replied to Mookie (original)'s topic in General Discussion
So you 'yawn' and complain about 'whinging'. Seriously, why bother? We do appreciate your comments and contribution, but you can't seem to get around your own ego. Suggest you try to maintain your otherwise constructive tone. or risk having this otherwise useful thread taken down.. -
Have: 2 x CMAG 40 rnd M4 mags (full, pristine) Seeking: 2 x Leather repair kits (must be P) Oh, how times have changed. Thanking you.

I think I started this thread. Thank you for your fairly lame contribution to it, nonetheless. -

Mookie (original) replied to Mookie (original)'s topic in General Discussion
Perhaps the clue is in the title numbnuts. And in terms of contribution, lots of other seem to be interested and have things to say. Jesus, the colonies have really gone downhill. -
Tents and persistence. Again
Mookie (original) replied to Mookie (original)'s topic in General Discussion
If you don't like it, don't read it mate. None of the five tents I've put down in .55 have survived (the most recent one last night). The fact that they're all on public clan servers (which I suspect are regularly restarted for loot) might have something to do with it. -
Ah, has the mechanic changed in 0.55? Because in .53 and .54 if you just threw it on it would be insta-ruined... You may still need to do that whole thing with the stones and a pot, as cooking pans aren't fixed yet.

What Type of DayZ Character are You?
Mookie (original) replied to Mullraugh's topic in General Discussion
What's especially stylish is that you list the poor trader you killed in your "trusted traders" signature. Like it. -
Please don't hide or delete this thread Mods. We're comparing notes and should have the right to do so on a community forum. Perhaps there's a good reason for it, but more and more frequently I'm being kicked from public hive servers because my character name "cannot contain [{(:.:)}]." This seems increasingly prevalent. None of these chars are in either my Steam or screen name. It's tempting to suspect yet more admin abuse or workarounds. This is wrong.

FYP. Chill out - we do understand. Perhaps you might try to understand why this would all be a lot cooler if the things we were constantly promised for patch X actually happened.
