I think you might be confusing WOBOs analysis. The plate carrier and Press Vest are the only 2 chest items with Balistic protection, the others (vests/Chest holster) just provide normal clothing protection

Keep your food in your chest and mags in your backpack :)

You have the ability to reload using "R" when you have them in the clip. Thats the only benefit I can see. Considering you can reload by having your ammo in your hotbar, I dont think there is much benefit. Perhaps in future it will be faster to load using the clip than ammo in your hotbar?

Design change and not a bug apparently https://feedback.dayz.com/view.php?id=28401

You are completely correct. The majority of combat does take place at under 100m. I'm not suggesting it doesn't. If you want to be up close and personal, thats completely your decision. If you want to engage from 800m, that's your decision too. To come onto forums and berate players for playing the game their way is pathetic though.

Rags is just another of those whiny individuals who try to enforce their playstyle onto other players. As we all know, this is a sandbox game. People like to play the game in completely different ways to other people. The devs dont put hunting scopes or SVDs in the game so you can collect them in your tent and admire how shiny they look, its to enable whatever type of gameplay you enjoy. You want to snipe freshspawns from 500m? Rock your socks off You want to scope out cities from distance and countersnipe or take down people slaughtering freshsawns (my personal playstyle)? Go for it You want to run around town with a shotgun killing bandits? Have fun You want to live in the wilderness and have no contact whatsoever? Great I really get pissed off with assholes trying to force their own definition of gameplay onto others in a friggin sandbox environment.

What a sad little post. There is no survival purpose in sniping other players at 500 meters? Really? Which one of these scenarios will result in a personal higher survival chance. Shooting someone from 100m or shooting someone from 800m?

haha He should have been watching your body :)

Just for clarity. They changed the backpacks recently to 1 hour for Improvised and 4 hours for other packs.

Your guess is as good as mine. No idea why he didnt shoot. No ammo perhaps? You can see me panicking in the video while trying to pick up the pistol. I think he dsynced at the end just as I killed him.

haha Remember those guys? I miss them so much I could kiss one

We are making our way to NWAF Tents for some loot and stumble upon a fight between 2 guys just meters from our position. We use this to our advantage and join the party.

At the end of 0.57, I had a few characters with a lot of ammo. I decided to blow off some steam in Stary Sobor

Head up to Novo tower bud. Lots of fire fighter outfits up there.

Next time just cut some stick and some bark. I dont bother with matches anymore. http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Hand_Drill_Kit

I would like something like this to happen, but the problem I can envisage is as follows: First Hop = 5 minutes, PC crashes (2nd) = 10 mins, Wife calls that she needs me for something (3rd) 20 mins, badmin kicks (4th) = 45 mins, DayZ crashes (5th) 1 hour. Now the player cannot play DayZ or risk a 24 hour ban.

The current crosshair isnt very good when aiming out a door. Try standing at an angle in a doorway and move the "crosshair" then switching to ADS. The crosshair often is nowhere near the target

Yup. Dont know how many times the only other player on the server has bumped into me in military areas. As a counterpoint, me and a friend were hanging around the NWAF tents on a 50/50, for around 1.5 hours yesterday, and not a single person was spotted. People will often stay away from high loot areas on busy servers.

I think you have asked this question 1-2 years too early. Its naive to question systems like loot distribution when these systems have not even been completed. To take the shoe analogy further. The SA hasn't even developed feet yet to even start to fill shoes. Commenting that an infant doesn't fill the shoes of an adult yet is a little silly. The infant hasnt even grown up yet. These systems are still being developed. We have 1 vehicle we can repair and use. The granularity of the repair system isnt even completed yet (things like fan belts still to be implemented and I expect you will need to use a tyre iron to get wheels off). 3 more vehicles coming in 0.59 (hopefully all going well). They are working on server improvements before flight. Last status report hints that it perhaps will be addressed in next few patched. Nope. The game has not even been finished, never mind released. Thats because they are iterating the CLE. Its getting better, but may even get worse before its finished. They plan to implement regional control so high value stuff can only be looted further NW. Building control still needs to be fixed as places like NOVO tower shouldn't be spawning fire fighter gear. Have you been to Myshkino tents or NWAF lately? The quanset hut is spawning chopper loot and there are only 3 on the map. 0.57 loot being on gatehouses and not in barracks was a bug, not a game design. Have you even played 0.58? The coastal towns are either ghost towns or you meet the occasional freshspawn who is travelling inland. There is very limited CoD gameplay on the coast anymore. Again subject to change as the loot systems are developed and tweaked

I would go with bug too. Ive died like that in those houses and red-top (3 floor) barns many times. Once when I died in Berezino, I was crouched in a corner of one of those rooms for about 10 mins waiting on a friend arriving (I never moved an inch). Then suddenly the same blackness and "You Are Dead" appeared out of nowhere. I got back to my body and it was outside the house on the ground like I had passed through the wall. I have had several occasions where you hear the crunching of bones and your character yelp in pain before the "You are dead" appears, but sometimes death comes to us all through dsync gods, quietly.

Has the shadow bug been fixed for the crafted pieces? I seem to recall that you could see a player inside a building if they had the chest piece equipped (the shadows were glitched and extended through buildings)

https://youtu.be/d9ATZT8PwwI After spawning in Svetlo, I made my way through Novo and on towards Severograd, where someone took a pot shot at me outside the Police station. What happened next was 30 minutes of intense cat and mouse PVP.
