Up for trade: Green Balaclava (p), blue balaclava (w), 15 Round mp5 Mag (p) Looking for: A black balaclava or White Balaclava (not the skull, plain black).

by the way if you are searching for the m4A1, make sure to thoroughly look at the helicopter. Dont just use your inventory to look around. Because the m4A1 I found was glitched inside the helicopter. I had to puzzle it out and use the "Take into Hands" command to get it. Ive found 3 American crashes but no sight of the MI8 crash. Found m4A1, 2x 300 Round boxes, Skull balaclava, grenade, acog, etc.

jeez no wonder why i keep finding .45 ACP ammo (doubt anyone picks up the 1911 and FNX's are hard to come by) as well as 5.56 and 9 mil. Good thing I found the m4A1 and a Mp5 early on xD

he is talking about dropbearchick Back to the topic at hand: Trading with unknown people with the possibility of being scammed or back stabbed is realistic as you would not buy a diamond ring from someone in a back alley vs buying something from Tiffanys. Who would you trust more? The only way we can defend or pro-actively trade IMHO is to: A. trade only with those others can vouch for. B. have them come into teamspeak/raidcall/etc to actually talk to them and make sure they are not coordinating with someone else (or make it harder to anyway). And if they refuse, then they are basically not trustworthy. It is not that hard to run/download teamspeak or some other program in the background for ten minutes while you trade. If they start lagging for it, it shouldnt matter unless they have intentions of killing you. C. Ask/hire a 3rd party trustworthy stranger to watch your back while you trade and if it turns into a firefight, that person can help you out. I would be willing to provide security if anyone ever asked for it. I tend to be only hostile to people I meet randomly in DayZ but if it is to trade or help someone on the forums, I stick to my word (for what its worth). I believe in making my intentions clear as I am not a fan of lying and betrayal. D. Choose a good location. Or pick the right server. For example someone literally gifted me his Regular Server m4A1 by dropping it in a location in a 0 pop server and after he left, I went to pick it up. E. Have a friend hold onto all of your crap on a persistence enabled server and have the other guy do the same. If he comes with anything other than the item, then you run

was this post related to the one in the trading post thread w/ dreypa? Edit: After reading your post, why not just link the forum avatar with a steam ID/your character in game. So if you want to create a new forum profile, you will have to buy another DAYZ account. As well we should have a negative feedback post button; opposite of the beans. Such as "You have my bullets". This will also help cut down people's bad posting.

long barracks are your best bet at a military base. Havent seen any spawn inside the jail building yet (except for a makarov if i remember right). Piano Houses and Police stations are the best places to look outside of a military base. I have seen SKS's and Mosins in both. After searching about 40 barracks, I have only ever seen 2 Ak101 mags, 2 Ak101s, 1 AKM, and actually a decent number of AKM magazines of both kinds. I have also seen shotguns, sporters, mosins, and the cr527 carbine spawn in there. I got lucky and found 2 heli crashes at northwest of which one had a M4A1 in it.

Edit: Found what I am looking for

Dear NW Airport Patron: This is a friendly reminder regarding the items you left unattended at 1 of the 2 helicopter crashes earlier this morning. Please be aware that all unattended items will be confiscated and they will not be returned to you. The item in question: Pristine 300 Round Box filled with 5.56 ammo and .357 ammo. As well please check all points of the 2nd helicopter as you also did not do anything with the following: 1. m4A1 (which was kind of glitched into the helicopter but was still able to obtain) and various attachments 2. A stanag coupled mag 3. a FNX 45 pistol 4. and another pristine 300 round box. Lastly keep firing at zombies. It let's other players know exactly where you are at. We appreciate your abundant intelligence and hope to continue to serve you at Northwest Airport. Sincerely, Concerned Airport Security TLDR: if its only 2 players on and you are at northwest airport, the other player is probably at northwest airport as well

1. Are random doors supposed to be open? Did they change the default open/closed doors for example the military buildings? 2. Can magazines for guns spawn empty? (saw a AK 75 Round drum empty but I wanna say the place was unlooted because I got a Cherno-Electro spawn and went to Balota first thing, I doubt anyone else got there before me) 3. And do guns (specifically AK's, so far only found 1 Sporter and a Makarov in the same room) still spawn in the barracks/prisons? (cause I cant find crap, hit up mutiple bases too, i know the loot tables have changed but i want to know if they dont spawn there)

i will when i see them from now on i guess. so far the only new thing i found was the Cattle Prod (on stable anyway)

Gonna be a pain in the ass to find Mp5/M4A1/Pristine Tanker Helmet, etc, etc. time to do it all again

another quality post by shrub as always (not sarcastic). Looking forward to the next.

sounds like a hacker to me. I was in Berezino with a couple of squadmates and I thought I saw a guy lagging but he was actually hacking. Shortly there after I got hit with an axe even though there was no one near me. Then i got hit again and boom dead. I shoulda just ran in circles and sprayed my assault rifle. Hindsight 20/20

i want the AKS-74U so i can do some cosplay in dayz xD Ttsko uniform + tanker helmet + AKS74U+ upcoming balaclava (hopefully i can put the tanker helmet on top of it) = Gurlukovich merc from Metal Gear Solid 2 (or as close to it as i can get)

why dont you answer the question instead of asking a different question? I assume we will all be spawning fresh on the coast in the east-northeast somewhere. There are too many servers for someone to spawn camp all day. Plus the respawn timer will keep people from moving from every server to server trying to kill everyone. Once the initial wave dyes down, everyone should be able to get geared. If we spawn where we were at previously, everyone would just run to balota, NWAF, Vybor, Pavolo, etc.

So I am testing whether or not the tent will stick around on one of those servers that says Dayz ** #-# (Persistence:On, etc,etc). I am assuming this is the right kind of server for persistence. Any ideas on when these servers normally reset?

~Alright so i spent some time using the search function (unfortunately the way it works, it may pop up with the same meaning but a different look) and looked at the already suggested posts so if this is already on the list somewhere, my bad.~ The essence of this post is to better track and figure out where players have previously been on the server you are playing on. Currently the 2 ways of being able to tell where a player has been is by 1. open doors/closed ones (depending on what building it is) and 2. if certain items have been placed somewhere or a lack thereof. What I would like to see is an expansion of this in some form. Here is my proposal: 1. Add trash into the the game. Like actual trash. When you drink a can of "Not-a-Cola" in real life, the can will not just disappear right? So if the player does not want to attract attention, they will have to carry their trash and find a decent place to dump it. Whether that is in the woods or actually in a trash can somewhere does not matter. If they leave behind empty cans, fruit peels, etc, then you know a player has been through there. 2. Bloodstains from players and the ability to tell if it is dried or still wet. 3. Footprints and the ability to tell within reason how fresh it is. 4. Dead bodies (both human and zed) sticking around longer to tell figure out whether people have fought thru there. Obviously some of these will have issues with the technical side of things and all of the above can disappear with a server restart.

Was in a firefight at Berezino and a hacker came along. Used invisibility and teleportation hacks on me and my friends. (Cyborg Ninja = hacker, soldiers = squad, Solid Snake = fresh spawn bystander) This is not a rant about hackers. In any case how do you deal with them? try killing them? Combat log?

the other thing with a character wipe is how are you going to test out certain items for future patches if you no longer have them. It was a pain in the ass to find certain items, such as a tent, and to be able to test out persistence. If persistence officially starts working (without bugs) within the next patch and they did a character wipe on the same patch, I assure you I will not spend another who knows how long looking for a tent (if less people are using the items, thats less people to catch certain bugs). If i stumble across one, great, but I'm not looking for one. And BTW, I'm not attached to my gear, I'm attached to the amount of time spent for looking for something again. My example here is a tent. With how rare that thing is right now and the fact that I lost it once due to "duplicating tent server crash hard reset" and somehow luckily stumbling across a 2nd one without too much search and losing the 2nd one to a wipe? No sir. Not looking for another. a character wipe punishes everyone and it will only keep things clean for like 5 minutes.

one of the inner towns with a police station such as novy sobor, gorka, etc.

when rotten food was around, im not sure what made pristine rotten food....well...pristine

i am having the same issue. The stuff in my tent duplicated and while that was fun while it lasted, the server went down a couple of times. Now its down for a longer period of time.

ill trade you an m4 with acog and one stanag mag for one tent (and the ammo box if your feeling generous). Edit: All pristine

pm sent

A couple of questions if you dont mind me asking: 1. did you stumble across them or were you actively looking for them? 2. About where did you find that grouping? (just a vague northeast , middle, south, somewhere along the edge, etc will suffice)
