Just a warning to anyone going to prison island, the exploit where you can glitch inside the jail is being used frequently there so be careful. I honestly thought this was fixed, apparently not. I would just steer clear of that building all together. Only place I get shot at on the island. Why is this not fixed??

Hueys I come across always have smoke. "The Mi-8 crashes don't produce smoke, making them harder to spot at a distance." http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Helicopter_Crash_Sites

Yep. Normally servers reset around 08 or 09. Get a truck, rush to the spawns. Sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont. A lot of heli crashes dont have much but some have a lot. This was after one run through the heli spawns on a fresh server. Got a few optics(damaged) and found an AUG as well. The MI-8 Helis i went through(3 counting the glitched one) didnt have much on them. Found two trucks glitched together too, as i went to get in one they flew into the sky lol.

Hopped into a server today to find 6 heli crashes and a truck at almost every spawn. Even a glitched double heli spawn. Weird. Got a smersh, m4 and all that trash. Time to make a ghillie :]

I've noticed that too! The 4 guys I killed only one had his gear ruined and it was only the stuff in his vest and jacket :) I thought I was just lucky.... Good to know that the mp5 doesn't damage players gear too much or as likely and itales sense I suppose

I just killed a group of 4 fully kitted guys at NWAF a couple days ago with an mp5. The last two I had broken legs and still got them. And they all had fully automatic rifles. So the mp5 is by far my new favorite weapon in this game. I would be dead if I was using my ak74 or shorty shotgun in that fight. 1v4 and I won. So the mp5 useless? Hell no, best cqb weapon in the game

That AK74U :D :D now I can almost fully role play as a stalker. Gimme artifacts and bloodseekers hehe..

A couple dys ago i got shot by a mosin in a police station point blank. It didnt even mamke me bleed, I had a pristine assault vest and after killing the dude with my mosin, I looked at it and the condition was now ruined. But it saved my ass. I dont mind clothing adding armor personally, it makes for more interesting firefights, sometimes it seems like everyones on bath salts and cant die but its fun.

It's no-clipping, not teleportatkion but he's moving so fast it looks like he's teleporting. I've ran into a GROUP of friendly hackers and they made their pet. Was actually pretty fun. Scary and weird as shit but fun

He probably has something set up in his filter so its not showing them. By default, DayZ will not show servers over 100 ping.

Happens a lot.. Its a known issue, basically stuff cant spawn in within a certain radius of players so it spawns elsewhere and builds up. The entire North side of NWAF was like this today. My tent is nice and full because of the crazy stacks of loot. Still, only ever found 1 AK and 1 AK mag so far.

So does persistence work? Reason i'm asking:

cool story bro

I bet it wouldn't go through ceramic armor that the majority of militaries insert in their flaks :D Crossbow should be a serious wound inflicter, and have a high risk of infection and require pliers to remove the bolt head but I still feel like the majority of bullet wounds would be far more serious in this department as well. Id love to see the bolt from the hunting crossbow actually sticking to the dude though. Maybe poison could be added to the bolt tips? Wouldn't kill anything right away but you better have antibiotics on you.

aAfter spawning in berenzino i nearly starve to death and decide to head to the ship. What a good idea :D every single spawn had loot in it or multiple loot. Countless SKSs, Mosins, Pistols,, food clothes. The mother load

Went through all of balota and NWAF and the military base and a heli crash. Only 1 AK, 7 SKSs, 10 Makarovs, 1 makarov magazine, countless 5.56 ammo, 1 ak mag, only about 60 7.62 ammo. Have yet to see a mosin anywhere or AK101. Got killed in beenzino by some camper as i was scrambling for food. Whoever was camping the candy cane, fuck you. You ruined my groups fun(he killed 4 of us with an SKS, never missing a shot, hacker?).

Yeah I knew they were the bandages in the mod, didnt play SA when they were in i guess. I dont think so, I didnt see a single soul for a good 30-45 minutes out there. The amount of gear there would take at least 10 people scrambling all over the place to build that up. And there was still gear un-looted in the barracks and jail but it was all floating mid air. The server went down, rejoining to see if it happened again.

Found some very strange things happening at the militar base south of NWAF on experimental 3pp us southeas 0-1 just now. It was like gear from dead people littered all over the place. Oh and a lot of the loot spawns in the barracks and the jail was floating. ^^This pack was on the ground with all this stuff in it. I found multiple packs filled with completely random stuff. And this is all the gear i got out of it and yes those vests are filled with crap. 0.o This place is creeping me out,has anyone else encountered this? Found a new type of bandage as well. Anyone else find it?

Aiming at them aggros them silly. Don't you know that staring enrages the undead? It's also rude in most societies #respectthedead

How about an animation for repairing anything? Instant repair breaks the immersion for me. Make my avatar mend that shit. The more damaged it is, the more mats you need to repair an item. I wouldn't mind being able to repair even ruined items so long as they can only get to damaged and look all patchy and lose a slot of storage or something. I'm all for rags being the new in game currency!

So the rain is the new Bambi killer :D RAK is going to be spawning hopefully?? If only hit detection with weapons could be fixed. But I'm betting server desync plays a large role in that. I can't wait for 64 bit servers

Heart :D Made nearly 30 steam friends in the hundred or so hours of play time. I like being friendly and helping people find their friends or get to the next town or loot area, i feel like a tour guide sometimes but its fun! Its crazy how so many people dont know the map or how to use one. I can get from Svet>Novo>NEAF>Devils Castle>NWAF>Green MT>Balota>Elektro>Cherno>Berenzino and back to Svet off of memory now. I would like some more distinct terrain features in the center of the map though... Just a friendly guide. Yesterday I ran into a friendly at NEAF and he was trying to find his buddy in Svet. When we almost got there his buddy got axed in the church and I found the guy crawling in one of the apartments, interrogated him and ended his miserable POS life. Wasteland justice B)

bump? shhh I like the idea of the matchmaking to keep servers full but I prefer to stick to one server and with persistence this will not be possible. I do like the idea of keeping the server full so there's no empty "safe" server for people to gear up on but it just wont work. Hardcore should have less loot. It should be hard to survive. It should be harder in general to add an extra layer of challenge for those of us that are experienced enough to handle it. The harder it is to survive the more player to player interaction will occur, which is what we need. It's called hardcore for a reason :P I have yet to run in to a hacker on hardcore which is the only real reason I play this game mode ATM but I want to see it expanded and improved on, and i agree with the majority of the suggestions in this thread :D

Good work devs! Looking forward to this update. Is the RAk going to be in game now?

Mosin has 5. A bolt action rifle will likely never jam. It can get stuck but even my piece of shit mosin irl has never given me any real problems. sometimes i gotta hit her a little hard but it works. My personal experience with the M16/M4 platforms has been with the Marine Corps and unless you got some CLP or spit(rust your shit if you dont clean it tho) she's going to jam. The jams are fairly easy to fix and most of them are just the bolt getting stuck or the buffer spring. But more complicated jams can happen on the system such as double feeds and brass over bolt but that's fairly rare and requires some serious fiddling and beating to fix. Id like to see weapons losing condition and jamming when not in pristine. Give the weapon cleaning kit an animation so you can't just auto clean your gat in the middle of combat. As for AKs; those rarely if ever jam but you still need to keep them clean. Weapons maintenance before heading into a firefight or looking for trouble is crucial to keeping you or your buddy alive and thats how it needs to be in game. Putting a 60 round mag in an M4 is just asking for trouble IMO. Good luck getting all 60 off out of an M4 you found at a crashed helicopter site without having her jam. Revolver should never jam. All ammunition should have a small chance of being a dud and not working, depending on condition. I'm sure they will implement this though. Not sure how i feel about blanks. They dirty and dry up your weapon after only a few rounds and would probably not exist in a war torn country like chernarus. The only use i see for blanks is taking the powder out of them for help starting fires or force feeding them up someones ass. I also want to suggest the use of rags in cleaning a weapon(cleaning the carbon and gunk out). It should only clean it to a certain degree and should be ruined afterwards.
