Item persistence is only enabled on Official Bohemia Interactive servers. Look for "Persistence: Enabled" or "Persistence: On" in the server name. Cheers.

This. Lots of this. I'm glad we don't feel the same way. You should all feel ashamed for consenting and/or approving of this rediculous behavior. Last thing we want is for DayZ GD to become 4chan or something. If I was a mod I would've shut 'er down from the first post of this nonsense. My 3 year old niece is more coherent than shrub, and he typing that way on purpose as stated with evidence by another fellow member of the forums.

Wtf are you expecting them to say? "I'm friendly!" LOL. No offense, but for 600 hours, you seem fresh off the shore. Ahaha. I've been shot at by heroes in the mod, when I was not a bandit nor did I fire first. What did I learn? Well, I'll leave you to interpret the rest. P.S. Sorry if my post has caused you to lose faith in humanity. I lost mine a long time ago :) Afterall, until they make PvE an actual threat, like others have said it is "a deathmatch with zombies". Also for the record, I have never been taken hostage before, because I am not a coward. I am not afraid to die, hehe. See Rule #1: Never get attached to your gear..

Hoo boy. Another one of these threads? This is why we can't have nice things. Asking what "people expect compared to what devs deliver" only sounds counter-productive. Do we really need to hear the community whine moar about whether or not the devs hit their "expected release date" on a single, minor incremental patch? Just wait 'til the game is fully released dude. And no, I "ain't even mad bro", lol, I just think threads like this are pointless filler in what should be an awesome dayz discussion cake.

There's your problem right there. Programs like those have always been spyware/malware, and I guess BattleEye must have flagged it. Sorry for your friend's loss. P.S. The game is in alpha state. Of course it will have low FPS, it hasn't been optimized yet. Why would your friend trust a 3rd party program to do what the developers will do over the course of beta development?

Another great example why 1st person/hardcore servers are superior. Thanks OP! (Lol). So how 'bout them 1st person persistence enabled servers? We're waiting.. Anyways.. yeah those buildings always made great defensive positions, 1st person or 3rd.

One time a guy killed me with a shotgun point blank, I heard no gunshot sound at all and the "You are dead" screen came up. Perhaps someone you didn't know was there shot you in the head, but the game glitched and didn't make a gunshot sound effect?

Where game developer balancing doesn't meet a user's preference, mods will prevail. At least, I hope. B) Well, the future is bright regardless. Def looking forward to vehicles!

+1 Yeah well, we don't all share your opinion. It doesn't necessarily have to be mint condition, but a working vehicle only requiring fuel doesn't seem too farfetched in an apocalypse scenario. I don't see why every vehicle would be absolutely trashed and in need of repair. Also, some of us don't really want to spend a fortnight fixing a car, picking up some friends, and then stashing it in the middle of the forest to log; only to log in and find the damn thing stolen immediately. I remember having to shoot out a tire and keep one in my backpack to prevent that kind of bs in the mod. It would be preferable to have some private shards where vehicle population is dense, so it can speed up the pace of the game and tone down jogging simulator 2k14. No it doesn't need to be Nascar with zombies, but some Lingor servers I played on back in the days of DayZ mod had struck a good balance. TL;DR: You can play on your servers where vehicles are the end-all of endgame, and I will play on mine where vehicles are mid-game material. We both are happy and our preferences of gameplay do not conflict. Cheers.

The Amphibia S was one-shot headshotting zeds for me. Perhaps you were desync'ing and the headshot didn't register properly? Also, I believe suppressors will not reduce the noise signature to a complete zero, there is still a little sound, possibly enough to attract zombies that are within a close proximity. Still beats dinner bell rifles.

It's an interwebs joke. Clearly people who use it understand what the acronym R.I.P. means otherwise they would not use "RIP" to begin with. Sorry if I offended you with a bad joke, the last time I used "le" on gamefaqs people freaked out, lol. Back on topic, the posted screenshot provided by the OP is the definition of why people are stating that persistence enabled servers are crashing. :o

I'm not sure why people support him butchering the english language when it's really not necessary. It's almost as if he is purposely *gasp* trolling the dayz forums. The story is damn near unreadable, and I'm not trying to be mean about it.

Farewell dupe city. You will not be missed or RIP in peace. p.s: zombie milkman has the best avatar on the forums, lol.

DX11 doesn't like my videocard that much :( Using a GTX 570 SC, and even right now in WoW I have to go back to DX9 for it to not crash and burn every 30 mins. That said, I am looking forward to the rendering changes so towns aren't so choppy, and hopefully DX11 will be somewhat stable on my card when it is eventually used in DayZ.

Amphibia S pistols have a built-in suppressor. The only problem is finding a mag for them which is stupid rare. However bullets are not too uncommon, and you can chamber single bullets which is still handy for clearing zombies silently. Not my weapon of choice against players though.

Trust none, dispose all threats. B)

Without server hopping, not really. I could find ammo for maybe 4-6 different types of weapons before I find ammo for the specific gun I am using (generally an SKS). And that's not even so much a military weapon. Maybe you server hop or something, because I haven't actually found an M4A1, AK101 or AKM in ages. Granted I don't play that much, but when I do I am heading to airfields quite often. Maybe I'm just not as lucky as you.

I agree with the above statements. Also, I kind of miss spawning near Kamehka, for nostalgic reasons. I only ever spawn to the NE of Electro now (source: the last 10+ spawns).

There has been literally DOZENS of interviews / events Rocket has spoken at. Does there need to be more? Really? Lol. I guess the PS4 version has been announced, but I don't think it really needs a presentation until it is actually nearing release, however that is just my opinion. I apologize that I have no new actual information regarding your question. I just figured I would give my input in the fact that IMO he needs to lay off the interviews/events/presentations etc, and stick to providing daily direction in the little time he has left working on the DayZ SA Project (he is leaving the project as head director at the end of the year, in case you are wondering).

It's not even version 0.50 yet. Relax people.

I think people made the thatpostgavemecancer jpeg exactly for threads like this.

By strafing sideways, it's pretty hard to get hit by zombies. I killed nine in a row without getting hit once using a pickaxe, by circle strafing them. It's really not that hard. Also, you are better off trying to kill them in an open area. Going into a confined area like a building to melee them is a bad idea.

I have absolutely no problem with not allowing private shard server admins to modify loot tables.. But I highly recommend allowing changes to vehicle quantities/qualities when they are available. I do not own a server and never have, so this is coming from a player's perspective not an admin's. Some of my best memories of DayZ mod were on the very-high vehicle-population servers. It was much easier to meet up with friends, and vehicle-initiated gunfights were very interesting. Quick example: One time somebody hit me with his car, I went flying and my legs were broken. He did a 180 turn about 20 meters away, and got out of his car to try to gun me down behind cover. I lobbed a grenade at the car, it exploded and I won the gunfight, when odds were strongly against my favor. It was exhilarating. Needless to say I attracted more attention, and things escalated, which added to the fun. Sorry for the long post, but please consider allowing admins to alter vehicle quantities/qualities on private shards. Thanks for reading. P.S: I understand many people do not like high vehicle-population servers. This is subjective, and you do not have to play on these servers if you do not like this feature. It is also worth noting that my suggestion does not go against the realism aspect of the game; as in a post-apocalyptic scenario, there would be immeasurable amounts of both working and broken-down vehicles all over the place from survivors trying to flee the country. EDIT: Damnit. This whole thread is butchered, sorry. A forum admin explained private hives and private shards in another thread, and I interpreted shards as hives. Since "private hives" will allow admins to modify loot tables, including vehicle quantities, this whole thread is kind of pointless, as I originally thought these private hives were going to be heavily restricted. "Private shards" are just vanilla servers with a few extra controls like passwords and the ability to ban players. If an admin is reading this, please delete my thread.

I take it you've never seen shows or movies like 28 Days Later, The Walking Dead, etc? There are vehicles EVERYWHERE. That's one of the signs that chaos occurred. Broken down or working but out-of-fuel, abandoned vehicles everywhere. Besides, if you don't like it, no one would be forcing you to play on such servers. Do you just scour suggestions forums waiting to bash everyone's ideas? edit: Also, generally speaking, probably half of the population of non-3rd-world-countries own their own vehicle. For how many zombies there would be, there should be quite a bit of vehicles. What would all the roads be there for if there is 20-40 vehicles on the entire 220 square kilometer map. Would make zero sense. We can't say for sure yet how many vehicles there will be since they are not yet implemented, but really there should be a half dozen vehicles even around the small towns. No one said they had to be mint condition, or even have any fuel at all. I still think admins should have some control over vehicle quantities, granted they aren't allowed to do silly things like spawn them on the spot.

Do zombies feel pain? I think this answers your question. AKA no. Why would they fear fire. Zombies shouldn't fear anything, so to speak. Also, this. If you are going by the lore concept of them being attracted to heat, anyways. Some lore would state that they want a warm meal. IMO they would just chomp stuff down to the bone, warm flesh or not. There would be less zombies and more skeletons around. The only zombies around would be the humans who got infected and escaped.
