i either hit the target in first shot like a pro or miss it all 5 15 times and die like a newbie.

+1. i love post ww2, cold war setting and all the relics from that era. http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2014/12/12-abandoned-cold-war-airfields-soviet-union-russia/ combine the overgrown vegetation on NW mil base and put that on balota... nailed it? I think BIS knows what they're doing :)

So sorry for missleading, i didnt know that. I must have been extreemly lucky to find them, but, the thing is, im pretty sure it wasnt wednesday... Is this the case for both types of helis or just US ones ? Edit: ok, my, bad, i just checked the server and noticed the persistance isn't on anymore.That would explain it. Again, sorry for false info.

i came across 3 heli spawns in the pass two days on two different priv.per. enabled servers around NWAF. To think of, i think they were russian helis, so, my bad if russian&US heli random spawns are seperated.

I believe adding a few poorly geared dead survivor bodies around cherno would add allot to the athmosphere. Just like helicrashes, n- bodies can be found troughout chernaus. From small "caves" North from Svetlo where a lone survivor put down his rifle for the last time, to hunting post south from myshkino military base where our 2nd survivor just couldnt take it anymore. From kamensk mine, where i found a dead young couple next to rotten zuccinni (how romantic), to the ship wreck where... well, who the fk knows what happend there i aint walkin dem stairs again. Bodies could be mediocre equipped with most of the stuff dammaged/ruined.Civilian gear. Something to make you wonder what happend. It's not about the loot, purely athmosphere. I wanna feel endangered. I wanna feel like im next. I wanna feel hopeless.I wanna wonder what happend to fellow survivor. You could tell from some bodies they commited a suicide. Some even have a "bubbye cruel world" note on them. Some dont. Some look like they were gangbanged by an army of Zeds. Some were lonewolfs; you will only find them in god forsaken places when you least expect it, freakin the shit out of you (a nicely placed players body waiting for you in a corner of abandoned underground military base/ ship wreck/pik kozlova/random forest just when you decide to check it out). It would be awesome if their personal items would reflect that (matches, knive, an axe) but not too much as i think it should be heavily randomized so people do not learn the patterns to fast.They obvioulsy should not be loot pinatas, and rather located a few minutes inland than near coast. Let us be able to intercat with the body in a normal way. UnknownEntity. Let us decide whether it was a true player or not.Either way, we will all proceed with extra caution. You would have to buff the "body time" tho.

GOOOOOOOOD MORNING CHERNAUS. That would be so awesome :D

Whether the body would be spawned decayed or would it actualy decay over time like they plan it for the persistance on veggies&fruits; I think it would look great either way.

There's still some buildings ingame we cannot enter. Maybe it would be more cost efficient for devs to just make them look demolished, ruined, decayed. Might be easier than making the inside of a house that was basicly made in arma2 with no purpose to be able to enter it.Im no dev but i take it the outside surface is the easy part. I guess thats whats going on the whole time, thats why some buildings are too low - they were never meant to be enter-able. i would love more burnt to the ground villages and houses. By more i dont just mean new complete burnt down locations, also a few more demolished buildings in already existing cities and towns.i find some of the Northern towns way too full on loot anyways. by the time you reach them, there's hardly anything you dont t have. For instance, as much as the new parts of NW map look great, there is absolutely nothing to take there. Once u reach NW corner, you're probably fully geared up with at least one of the assault rifles. That being said, i was rather dissapointed by finding so many piano and other "better than normal" loot civ buildings where noone actualy needs anything anymore. At least the whole setup of buildings location was a bit different so it didnt look that familiar. I would love more variety. allot more. we could have those "alpine" cottages only on higher elevated settlements just like you dont get to see a fire station in every town. Way too many brick and piano houses. I would love it if they made a 2nd or even 3rd variation of it. i gave my vote for nuclear silo - just because i can imagine it as an awesome location to explore. coastal bunker - cause every coast in europe has or had one. Shopping centre - chernaus could use wallmart. New prison will be added, there were youtube presentations of it & it looks great. I dont like the highway intersection with underpasses simply cause in every fps sandbox game i played so far, those were the most OP locations. couple of snipers to cover each other, keep on high ground, 3pp and GG. With added explosives this would be even worse. I wouldnt enjoy if the game had only a few viable locations everyone would always go to. tldr: map is awesome, more varieties when it comes to buildings. A random facade colour would do for starters.

This is not the case for a while now. choppers do spawn on presistance enabled servers.

I like to aggro myself a train of zombies in elektro and lock them up in the church.

Ive seen quite a few theres even two " 24/7 daytime " nightservers

Since your giving up on this game because you failed to add the server to favourites, I guess its probably for the best. You sound like you gave up before you even gave the game a chance. One geared character is nothing. The game is not about your inventory. I lost tons of character due to bugs, premature login, 2nd floors, invis zombies, KOSers... so what. You did the ultimate mistake tho; you're attached to your gear, you even call it "progress". The only "progress" is to survive here, not to carry an m4 with skull balaclava. I would never buy this game if it wasnt for loosing your character, progress and everything you had uppon death. I mean, how darn borning would it be not loosing your progress? seriously, i would never bought this game if that was the case. It would be just another generic shooter. not a single person would try to survive. First thing you need to accept in this game is that you WILL DIE. you will. sooner or later. You will lose EVERYTHING.Either by headshot, broken ankle or desinfectant. You get the freedom whether u gonna cry and beg for your life, sob about ur gear or you gonna show teeth and gear yourself even faster the next time.

I found two trucks in 1 hr run yday. 1 near Myshkino & the second one near topliniki? Toplsomething near NWAF. We left one truck behind, but didnt bother going back after we found the second truck. Im curious about this aswell. Anyone? ~ im wondering for persistance:on private servers. For some reason the first truck didnt want to go pass 30kmph, it had about 20 litres of fuel left. 2nd one we filled all the way up, we drove over 80, 70 uphill. Does the fuel effects the trucks performance? We know about "shift".

I dont mind. however, i doubt it's gonna be wipped thanks to duppers. More likely for some fresh data? People who dupp will find another way the very next day. It's the legit semi-casual players that will be affected the most.

tried searching for it had no luck. found 6 nettings in a single boat a few days alter.

I have no idea, this happend when novi town was added. I was thinking allot about it, whether i accidently joined the same server twice, or if he checked my pulse when we crashed into each other... and than i accidently joined same server again...maybe? Maybe there was only a group of people + me so he knew.... maybe i accidently joined one of those "clan members or kick" servers.. No idea, If i remember correctly the first server didnt kick me, but it restarted, but im positive i got kicked twice in a row after - i really wouldnt remember but that was one of my first kills in SA & the first time seeing m4, so i was obviously a bit hmph about it.

Joined a server, saw a guy lying ontop of the Novi tower running circles like he's mad. I decide to visit him. On the way up i meet an armed dude, he points the gun at me and i kill him. "you got kicked from the game" I join another server, decide to enter the tower again. I come on top and see a sniper lying there.Killed him whilst he was in his tunnel mosin vision. "you got kicked from the game" i join another server, start leaving the tower, i crash into a guy with m4 on his back on the way down. he starts pulling the weapon out, i get lucky and kill him first. "you got kicked from the game" Made me ragequit for that nite.Never got kicked for a kill after, but that day really ruined my dayz experience as i thought this will become a standard practice by owners.For basicly defending myself (xept the mosin guy). so i was "done". for that night.

looks like a true partey! ANDIWASNTINVITED <_< nice shots :D

It stays on persistence enabled servers. untill wednesday.

IMO, this is by far the best thing in dayz :) it just seem to work so well. Every respawn you get is a brand new story.Unique and unlike any other.

KOSers are nothing but cowards afraid of risking an actual interaction for the sake of not loosing their <insert_item_here_#>. Also, i wish i was once approached by these self proclaimed "PVP"ers. I wonder how this works.. "good day dear sir, im a fellow pvper who only finds fun in killing people in this game, so i would kindly ask you to accept my challange, wield your weapon, position yourself on the other side of the street,get ready and may the best survivor win - because i love challanges and it would utterly unfair of me to blow your brains out whilst your drinking that soda" yah... no, "hey dude im friendly pls help random jibberish blabla *Shoots me in the face* much amaze much skill much peeveepee pls subscribe. You dont need to get all defensive, i get it, its your "playstyle" and you're enjoying it. That's fine, it would be darn boring if noone would do it. I just respawn and promise myself not to change my playstyle into yours and move on. on every 10 KOSers out there i meet at least one normal person whos worth the effort. There is absolutely nothing i need from anothers player dead body and i dont see how a trip back to the beach is more fun than not shooting or being shot in the back.If your a mad pvper, you will take the control of situation anyway. Try to make out something more than just a KOS. At least kos me with style :( punchline! ..or something

It's a common same bug we got with binocs. I believe it was already fixed since i got this problem 2 days ago, but yday my long range scope worked perfectly fine. edit: apperantly the bug still persist, i just got lucky.

never.. i would love to tho yes I try to do it at least once per char. either i drop the note or carry it with me. killed myself with a note attached yday after diggin myself a garden between the two graves i found (was minutes before death). felt really weird lol.

NOICE :) Well played.

You're correct. If server persistance is off, that means the equipment you will drop, will not stay there after the server restart.Nor the server loot/tents. Unless you have something really valuable in your backpack, i dont think it's worth dropping it @ NWAF because if you die, it is very unlikely you wont get equaly (if not better ) geared on your way back. If you dropped it just for the sake of making your profile smaller, thats alright, but id rather drop it in fat bush. (I noticed that sometimes items can bug underneath the trees and you actualy need to cut them down in order to get the item back, so im sticking with bushes) Oh and avoid dropping anything on 1st,2nd or 3rd floor if you're not prepared to possibly loose the item forever. Reminds me of one night when i was a bit tipsy around NWAF. i wanted to leave south towards zeleno&pavlovo. Having my situation awarness at "max" i didnt notice my compass bugged out. I walked over an hr, passing green mountain just to get on the same exact spot. Twice. yes, Twice lol. The next day i discovered the green mountain curse on forums. It all made sense.
