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.

got killed in cherno by an armed group of lamers Got a berezino spawn, got killed on my way to NEAF Got that Kamyshovo spawn. I noticed a player with a melee. I stay back and observe him for a while. He notices me and runs off. I hide behind the bush not knowing what he's up to. I see him move towards police station. Good, i lower my axe and start stuffing my stomach.ONOMNOMNOMNOM After my nutrotious meal, i decide to check the buildings on "his" side altho they're probably all looted. Nope, got me double blaze, mp133, bucks & mosin ammo. I figure he probably went in the woods towards Msta and than Staroye. I was kind of right, i find him in the wooden shed on my way to msta. Since i already got killed a few times i decided to risk it and block his way out. tell him im friendly etc...this time with my gun drawn out. He seemed really scared, hiding in the corner with his crowbar :D He tells me he just started playing the game and offers me some drink. Alrighty.. i dropped him my axe and tell him to pick it up. He asked me in what direction is the nearest town "to the north" because he heard its "safe" there, i offer him some guidance and let him know he missed tons of shit back in kmyshovo. I take a risk and drop the blaze and ammo & give it to him. It's not like he could shoot me anyway, i had to guide him how to equip and quickbar the weapon. After i gave him the blaze, a weird thing happend; my shotgun got that "putting on back forever" animation bug untill it dissapeared. for a second i thought i just got punk'd by hacker or something :D "Well, my weapon bugged out so this is your perfect chance to kill me." I dont think he even noticed tbh. Anyway, we are running towards msta and during that travel he thanks me for helping him, again mentions this is his first time etc etc. He told me how he's learning the game, but he never sees places because he always dies. Infact, these were his last words, he died on the road to msta. I have no idea what happend. He died 150m away from the first building. He died like 5m before he could see the village :( 5m !!! his last words were literally "i never get to see anything, i always die before i get to see stuff" I have NO idea what happend. i saw him drinking and eating minutes before he died. he wasnt bleeding or anything. He was running infront of me, stopped & just...died. If you're reading this, im sorry you didnt get to the village dude. I hope you dont think i killed you. I decided to wait in the local area in case you return. Searched msta. first building, 150m from your body, met a dude with highlander sword. i ran off shouting "there can be two!!! there can be two!!" (he was wielding it) server restart edit: to think of, he probably drank alcohol or something :D

This defenately wasnt the case in 0.51.. at least not this often... I run textures on high. Just played for a couple of minutes and got the same thing as you, only this time it wouldnt stop & it started right away. The whole berezino was flickering and after i entered elektro my fps dropped to one digit whilst all the buildings remained in that "lowest" texture. Weird enough, i didnt have this problem yday and i havent played with any software or made any changes to my system.Completely unplayable. Hopefuly they fix this. You can try reinstalling/updating your gpu drivers, but i doubt it will help.

Does it only happen when it rains? I can only think of the radeon glitch or maybe your playing the game on a low end pc?

I sometimes get the same problem. It looks like the game textures are flickering from the settings i choose (highest) to the lowest, randomly switching. I sometimes get it uppon loggin to a server for a first minute or so, than it stops(after it loads up all the environment). Few times it happend during long sessions of palying. Restart usualy does it for me. You didnt play with object detail in .cfgs, did you?

if nothing else there could be some huge blood stains left. i too, would love to see bodies to stay longer. It would be awesome if it had a "condition" and would slowly degrade. would be lovely if bodies would attrack wild life such as wolfpacks or crows.

Not the latest patch addition but I really love the environment of the abandoned military base N of Severo, E from the cave i believe. That overgrown vegetation makes it look...perfect. I really hope we get to see more of such locations.They trully look abandoned and give a really nice authentic feeling to it I really need to check it out :)

I have no problem making splints either, however i dont get the "search for splints" option when approaching bushes or grounds that used to have them.I could still search for rocks. was that removed on purpose? edit... i get like 5 fps when entering elektro. i had way over 30 before this update. Mind sharing what's causing al lthese problems? :/ my game runs like shit ever since the update, constant stutter and low fps :/ Theres also a new graphical glitch added with the rain glitch. now it doesnt need to rain because the sun lightening does the same... this should really stay on experimental for a while longer. I got so many issues with the game in the last update its not fun at all...

I think the shotgun animation is awesome.My favourite. 10/10 would suicide again

I guess i had the same issue. I couldnt skin the boar in the same way. I also noticed i dont get a chance to pour water from/to canteen/waterbottle anymore and when i broke my legs and tried using f11 to suicide, my character got kind of stuck for a while and refused to do anything but to *click* (he didnt have a weapon to execute himself in his hand at the time). Saw teddy bears on xmas tree in elektro... how sweet :D Awesome idea... took the pinky one with and added a can opener to it, just to give it to a fresh spawn i met soon after :D

Don't worry, in a matter of hrs you will known the game inside out and will be able to gear yourself in a matter of minutes. Than you will start to miss the old days of constantly getting lost and seeing all the "new" stuff :) 2x alt for toggle neck mode will do the trick. Im afraid you got trolled. Your character begins to randomly laugh& cry after consuming human flesh, which you can obtain by skinning off a dead player. You will cry every 5-8?minutes. I also read they will add random muscle twitching of your character which will occur every few seconds; a dead giveaway. You can lower the chances of getting it by cooking the human meat, but you cant nullify the chances ( i believe the cooked one gives you 25% chance of getting the symptoms and the raw one gives 75%). Be advised that sometimes you can hear these sounds in the "background" as a result of audio bug (just like splitting ammo sound etc) Here you can hear all the cannibal sounds ; That's why I hesitated to enter the tower, knowing there's someone somewhere with bad eating habbits and im all down with apples & berries.

improvised backpack matches knife bow/magnum/blaze/repeater/mosin

Nightime. Got a Novo spawn at the military truck complex thingy. Ran in the centre just to find all the standard buildings being completely empty. As i finaly get my hand on a can of peaches in one of those white 3 floor buildings, I see a guy running across the street right into it. Well fuck. I saw him holding an AKM, which can't be good..AKM owners tend to be very protective of their primaries. I hide behind the door, hopping he will never come upstairs. He must've seen me thru the window, since he approached the room with great caution, his weapon drawn out and aiming. I manage to hit him a few times and make him bleed as he ruins pretty much everything on me, but fails to kill me. I run outside and hide in the first bush I see. He runs out and fails to notice me. Luckily zombies kept him busy long enough for me to bandage & gtfo. Sadly, everytime i encounter a jackass like that, i never get to be geared in order to defend myself. Really low on blood now. I decide to visit the never-ending-up-well Tower of Novi. As soon as i approach the tower, i heard the disturbing crying laughter. God damn. Why me D: I decide to enter the tower anyway, since i have nothing to loose. As i approach the top floor, i see Three fire extinguisers placed on the middle of stairway, preventing anyone from going further. This just can't be good. I move away one fire extinguiser, pass the "barrier" and place the extinguisher back. As i enter the first floor i see a fireplace (not lit up). I dont even want to check it, im 100% sure what's in it. .... I couldnt resist but to look at it.God dammit, human flesh i knew it >.< !!! HALP#@*!! .... I continue to 2nd & 3rd floor, finaly getting lucky & finding a blaze and some ammo.The laughter seems to be gone, i feel much safer. I pick everything i need and decide it is time to leave before something bad happens. I move downstairs to the first floor. the fireplace... is GONE. I look down the staircase and see the third fire extinguisher was MOVED. one second later i get to hear the crying laughs again. D: D: D: Not being 100% sure where the hell is he, I didnt want to go back clearing the 1st, 2nd and third floor, possibly letting him to crawl behind me. Besides, it would only get me killed if he's camping and preaiming for me.(1pp) I wait in the staircase for a few minutes that seemed like eternity. I decide It's time to leave. I hope whoever found the fireplace got scared and run off. As i move downstairs I see a guy camping in the corner just like i did, only one level below me. I aim at him and fire my two shots & so does he. I felt unconcious, Died from bleeding a minute after. I think we killed ourselves, since he didnt finnish my unconcious self. I fired at him from almost point blank so im pretty sure i hit him, unless he got saved by desync. I wonder tho, was he in the 1st,2nd or 3rd floor and i passed him, or did he come up after me. Was he the cannibal who placed the fireplace, or did he found it like i did, got scared thinking i was the cannibal which resulted in both of us, innocent? bystanders to kill eachother? so many questions :D

I've seen tons of posts saying there is no "end game" in dayz and how it gets boring. As much as i dont agree with the previous statment, it got me thinking anyway.Most of the players seem to get geared up and cant find a reason to stay in game. Im sure simular ideas were already mentioned. I was thinking of some sorth of an "end game" That would be only availible to the best of the survivors and would not require some heavy unrealistic expectations from the dev team to make it work. When a player would get hit by a zombie at least once and reach a minimum of, lets say xxx hrs of gameplay on said character, he would start getting infected symptoms. I believe the number of hrs played should be quite high for the obvious reasons. The infected status should be somewhat like disease, but with much slower progression. The symptoms could be random zombie shouts, uncontrolable scratching, loosing off limbs or whatever interesting the devs could think of. There should be, just like heli spawns, 3 n-random spawns of "Z-cure". Let it be a random broken ambulance car, or a crate dropped from the sky - im leaving this to you. They should be extreeeeemly rare tho. Uppon finding one, survivors would quickly realise the cure failed to deliver; It will not cure you, but it will restart your infected status back to first stage ("funny taste in my mouth"). That's right, it will only postpone the inevitable. I believe this would create somewhat of a race between the best of chernaus survivors in order to get the cure. The more infected survivors there would be, the merrier. Additional ideas; Maybe, once the survivor would hit the "infected" status, he could get an option to use Walkie Talkie frequency "Z" where he could get a possible hint on cure location; It would be awesome if it was just a landmark tip, maybe even given out in morse code, but the players could still see the translation in text on bottom left ( personaly i dont really need audio instructions or something super complicated that would waste allot of resources.) The "im dying from ..." stage could be "im so ston braindead/my tongue fell off" which would leave a player unable to talk via VOIP. ---------- I realise the "z cure" has nothing to do with much loved realism in this game but honestly, i dont see any zeds walking IRL either. As i said, i believe this would create some good competition amongst the best, darwin style. Another thing is, this might reduce the bored out people hunting out freshpawns. or not. Wellp, i tried.

Does it actualy work? I dont see anyone falling for it.. i rather just pretend i have absolutely no situation awarness for the first two minutes and that anyone can get behind my back anytime. You let him reload the shotgun so he knew you trust him. even more, you let him reload the shotgun after he told u he will fire it once on the ground. Idk it was kinda obvious why he needs to have two bucks in his shotty. He didnt even draw his weapon away when u started eating. Honestly, i think this is a perfect recepie to get killed and i saw it comming the second he wanted to reload :D you just gave him a perfect opportunity. From his point of view.. i always got killed by "friendly duos" who just "wanted to talk" so i cant really blame him. I mostly run away from groups and when cornered, they kill me. And then i get to hear the retarded VOIP laughs. anyway, nice video.

got naive again and thougt i can trust a guy. he killed me the second i put down my weapon as another player approached to disctract me.Im sure my drybag looked tempting altho he must've been dissapointed finding only a sawed off and a few bucks. Well, i kinda asked for it, i could've just passed berezino. got spawn south from solnichiy, so i thought of running back to N berezino, to see if i can track the bastard(s). On the way i heard a V3s who just pulled over to get some gas. I see an armed gillie guy (i later found out his name is JohnyBravo) stepping out of the vehicle.. i rush towards him, tell him im friendly & dont want any trouble, but would love it if i could get a ride to berezino. He was nice enough to drive me there and I gotta say, whilst driving in the truck, i got a very nice old flasback reminding me of the old days playing OPF and tripping on its OST. thx for the ride dude. anyway, i reached the crime scene in 5 minutes. no body. Since i was looting from NW direction and we colided as they approached from SW-NE i figured the didnt continue looting the western part since i was there. I took a pure guessing and ran for Krasno & NEAF. I wanted to go there in previous life anyway. I decide to yolo sprint in attempt to outrun them and get there first. Half way there i get a feeling im being followed. so i make a few stops but cant really confirm anything. As i get in krasno it seems full of stuff. i get what i need and move towards the airfield.I stopped at the long barns, overviewing the airfield. I ran out & see a guy with mosin aiming directly at my back. he shoots & i dont get to hear the sound, i dont bleed but my picture goes black n white. I continue running off zig-zaggin, but i dont panic. I dont want him to know i know about him. i run off as if nothing happend.i hit the buildings across the barns and hide behind the wooden fence. i bandage. Mosin guy got cocky, approached the house but obviously didnt expect the mp133 waiting for him. i unloaded all 6 shots, ruining everything. as i check his drybag, he had a sawed off. Check his pulse, UnknowEntity. If you read this dude, im just wondering; did u kill me in berezino ? & 2nd; did you stalk me on my way to krasno and if so, did you shoot at me? I only saw you fire once and even than i didnt hear your mosin.(you did hit me but i was so stuffed at that time my belly obviously bounced your shot)

TLDR. i cannot into short stories. Had a pretty decent run. Got a spawn north from berezino & a crossbow. Failed killing the two guys who wanted to crack my head open, but the server restart saved my ass. I continued my journey towards pavlovo/zeleno/myshkino, back south and than towards cherno/kopyto. Exploring, minding my own bussiness. On the way from Cherno to Zeleno I Almost get knocked out by bambi, who i saved from the train of zombies. Bastard ran in my face the second i pulled out bandages, but luckily i had a motorbike helmet in my inventory, which i equipped just before applying the bandage. he managed to ruin my helmet before i unloaded way too many bullets for a single person. blood was pouring all over the place. i was satisfied yet kind of dissapointed since i wanted to help him big time, like giving him at least half of my stuff. After the incident i decided i want to live a peacefull life and swam on skalisty island. Suprisingly i didnt loose any of my gear nor items ( last time i attempted doing this i lost everything) after living my 1pp character on skalisty island for the last few hrs I began dying from dehydration.i used to collect rain in my bottles but i had no luck with bad weather. My sporter was running low on ammo aswell - each time i logged on my 1pp, i aggroed every zombie on the island.On top of that, it seems there are some server hopping Robinson Skalisty Crusoes. Time to go back, in harsh reality known as chernaus. I swam across and went for the nearest swamp to drink. i scan the area and fill my canteen. for some reason i decided to craft improvised backpack and dropped my drybag. I proceed to drink the water from the pond. I hear a guy running. F%$/ *cancel action* *cancel action* ~ "Not Today" Being unable to cancel the action, the guy falcon punches me unconcious. "what the hell were you doing here" was his 1st question. "well i was feeling optimistic enough to leave the skalisty...how wrong was I" "sorry but i need your gear to kill some bastards...i wont kill you, have fun" well, FML :D, first minute inland. I wake up, all set up in bambi clothes, luckily the guy didnt notice i dropped the dryback in the grass literally 1m away from me. Anyway i lost my weapons so i felt like travelling some highly populated areas. I went to cherno where i met a random "music guy" I press f2 and shake what my momma gave me. We continue roaming the cherno and soon theres 4 of us having a partey. Unofrtunately some wannabe in charge fully armed player stopped us, demanding we all lay down infront of the police station. I put up my hands, do my duty;shake that bootie & tell him to dance with us. At that time his friends come out of bushes wielding AKs, shouting as we are heavily armoured KOSers and start spraying all over us. I managed to escape in the hospital as they loot my newly met friends bodies :( i curse at them from the roof, calling them lame. They dont seem to realise where the sound is comming from, since they are looking all over the place for me. a random ak from about 100 m starts shooting at them. dropping them dead. one by one. whoever did it - my hero <3 I wait on a roof. a third party woman with AK approaches the body. ma herro <3. I decide not to approach, but i thank her in chat. I notice another fully camoed guy, just like the guys who tried to kill us, sneaking uppon this ak hero. I ran downstairs with my pickaxe wielded and get behind his back.I punch him right in the back of his face as he's taking the aim for the "hero". He turns around and sprays me to death. I hope that screwed him up and the hero killed him. I ran back. Some 10 minutes later I meet a scared survivor some 2 blocks away from where we all died. He said he heard all the shooting and wanted to know what's going on... I tell him not to be afraid since they're all dead. In the middle of conversation he shot me in the head. Almost positive it was one of the guys who wanted to kill us earlier, wish i had checked his pulse. Server restart.

It's time for me to win this thread; ww2 motorcycle with sidecar. * Seems easier to implement than normal 2 wheelers * In case they do implement two wheelers like bikes, they could easily make the sidecar attachable part that needs to be found. * Same goes for the weaponry (and its modules) mounted on it (in case they would add it - any kind of mg does seem kinda OP to me tbh..) * This helmet is much needed for the ultimate experience

saw two well armoured guys who encountered a guy with the bow who said he's friendly.he didnt draw out his weapon or anything, infact he came towards them just to say hi. i was just an observer who waited for the armoured duo to leave. they shot his legs in the middle of the street and axed him to death. i pull out my newly found mosin with 3 rounds, fk it, yolo. I lay down and aim for their heads as they loot his body. miss miss miss one of the guys sprints off some extra 100m looking for me but in the wrong direction.Than, all of the sudden he turns around and just double tap snapshots me right in the face. justice was not served :( i really wanted to save him or at least avange him but i failed.

I left quite a few notes. I always "try" to die with a note on me, telling a little bit of a story & making it clear i was friendly. Just in case the other party who killed me thought "i was for sure gonna kill em" always wanted to leave a note with a few tips where i left a backpack full of stuff im just afraid noone will ever find it. I've yet to find a note by another player.I always get excited finding paper in unordinary places. all blanks so far :( Every single player who i killed or found dead never ever had a note but im not really surprised since they all tried to kill me altho i made it perfectly clear im super friendly. KOSers obviously wont RP.

+1 Rivers would be great. Esp in all those unpopulated areas with no pounds around.

i already find the map really small. no longer do i run the forest for longer than 5 minutes before i bump into something. I too, hope that the NW corner of the map will be somewhat different than the rest of chernaus. Right now its completely empty: no animals & no water. I highly doubt it will be any different, since it looks like the roads were already drawn, and some random towns with same ol buildings and loot will be added. tbh, boring.

I have AA and Edge smoothening set to off & quality set to high/very high(objects). (2gigs radeon) I've already played with changing the ingame settings to get rid of it, it didnt help. I noticed the guy posting above uses Radeon aswell, so I tried playing the game on Nvidia GPU with same .cfgs - im guessing its something in relation with Radeons. i dont get these glitches on much weaker Nvidia setup. I havent tried updating the drivers yet, it might fix the problem.
