Has anyone in our little trading community actually found a UH60 crash? I have a bad feeling about this. :(

Lots of things happen in DayZ, good and bad, that are not really in the world of the possible...but let's not start that debate here.

I love the way it looks, but it has (IIRC) two slots fewer than the hunter pack.

Looks like NWAF southern jail. Also smartdude, get a couple of 300 round boxes and then we'll talk about carrying lots of ammo. :P The problem (not necessarily a bad thing btw) is that in 0.50 I just can't spare the space for 840 rounds of 5.56.

Running with two rifles has always been a pain (and not worth it IMO) , but yes have heard about this. I've spent all day on my usual crash site run and haven't found a single spawn.

Updated.

I have a dim memory of the hours and days following previous patches featuring near-universal pristine items. The heat/dehydration is seriously out of balance. I like the small visual tweaks (eg to inventory), and some of the new items (backpacks, etc). Not sure about the heli crash position yet, as haven't been able to run for long or far enough to find any.

0.50 is the latest update which was released this Wednesday. It's made life a little harder in some ways - especially for people like me whose playstyle involves a lot of running in all weathers.

Stable, 3rd person. HAVE: Black skate helmet (P) Fishing hook (P) M4 Magpul stock (P) Long range scope (P) AK101 Mag containing 30 rounds (P) WANT: Bipod (P). Assuming they're back of course. Thanks.

I actually really like the animal aggression idea. Would keep lone wolves/hunters like me on our toes. Along with alternately dying of hypo- or hyperthermia, and keeping our boots together with duct tape of course.

Guns and ammo in general are harder to find. That seems to operate pretty much across the board, and was also the case in 0.49. FNXs and combat knives have only been spawning at heli crash sites (the smoking UH60 ones, not the buggy Russian Mi-8 ones). Unsure as to whether this remains the case in 0.5, although whether items like this are really 'basic' is a bit questionable. And yes, crash site hunting is very hard work. The temperature system seems to have veered from a period in 0.49 where most people were freezing their nuts off (which was hotfixed no pun intended), to the latest situation where people are overheating very quickly and having to drink gallons of water. Even though the water pumps don't seem to work. :|

So that's all good then.

Based on 0.50? Absolutely not. Make sure you delete this post btw mods.

Jails and barracks.

That's a great point that no one had realised until you pointed it out.

I've run 500 yards in my otherwise pristine military boots. They are now damaged. Also, it's raining in Chernarus. And I am 'rapidly warming up.' Great job guys. No, really, it's awesome.

Yeah. It's awesome that they are working on it.

Are we talking regular or experimental here? Because on regular I can run around all day in the rain and be absolutely fine. Once or twice I've had to build fires, but that's over the course of five or six weeks of survival on one character. Perhaps this is because of the pristine Gorka camo clothing I was lucky enough to find long ago. A balaclava and a boonie hat help too.

I hope you're right, but seriously doubt that you are. My char has survived almost from the release of 0.49, and I have never seen a bipod. Nor has one ever been available for trade, to the best of my knowledge. I think a combination of the wipe and their apparent deletion from the loot tables mean that they currently do not exist in game. It would be nice to have official confirmation on this, and if true, confirmation that they will be reintroduced.

I carry two canteens, but no food whatsoever. I just eat it when I find it, and I know where to find it when I need it. Filling inventory space with it seems useless to me. In fact, carrying two canteens is probably a bit of a waste too. My green bars are pretty much fully lit at all times.

Agreed. Not possible (and simply doesn't happen) in many multiplayer games, precisely because, as previous poster mentioned, items have unique identifiers. It probably requires a lot more server capacity, but is certainly not the 'nature of the beast'. :huh:

I don't really remember anyone complaining that bipods didn't work. :|

Lots of new towns in my favourite parts of the map will offer an opportunity for my FPS to collapse to...1....even more frequently. >:(

BTW, to all contributors to this thread, it's pretty clear that there is a community here who know and trust each other. Or if we haven't directly traded with someone, we know someone trusted who has, etc. The other side of this coin is the probable need for a blacklist of those we know have reneged on deals, or worse murdered their erstwhile trading partner. In between all the genuine PMs I get from those who I've traded with, I get a fair quantity of invitations to trade from people I've never heard of. When I ask for some sort of reference or bona fides, no reply is received. <_< So if you attempt to trade with someone and it goes horribly wrong, don't be embarrassed. Tell us here so we can learn from your misfortune and blacklist the vile nonentity who has worked you over.

Please, God, yes. I think I duped something by accident at the weekend. I won't say what it was or how, but was surprised.
