Did some heli hunting this morning - snagged you a full smersh set for your ghillie - as well as a green balaclava and a full plate set.

@starvingart and I drove a couple of V3Ss around this morning for about an hour with no odd visual effects. I was at least expecting the "ghost vehicle" vision for the guy in back, but we didn't experience that.

I know he KoSed you, but he's had the chance to shoot first at me twice, and he spoke each time. I think he is just a less experienced, nervous (as he gets killed a lot) player. I haven't spoken with him since the first time I found him in game (at that point, he had only killed you and been killed by emu(?) in retaliation), but talked to Jarin a bit last night. They seem like good guys. I told them to come here and introduce themselves. In any event, I love that Dickle sees this as a challenge and apparently now wants to be hunted by us. Well played!

I don't know how I lived before Jarin and the Majestic Dickle came into my life.

I told IMT that the next time I see Dickle on the server, I'm gonna send him a friend request - if he accepts I'm gonna offer him an M4 and tell him that we now hunt him when he's on the server. :D ETA: I just saw Dickle in the western camp. He had the drop on me and didn't shoot, but talked. I was trying to talk to him until I realized i was talking into TS. He hid somewhere and logged out!! Damn. I really wanted to talk to him.

I bet they're making wire spawn again so IMT can fish!

I would just like to say that the only reason I killed DP and Jarin earlier is because they stole my truck - you do not mess with a man's ride; you just don't do it. And the only reason DP died the second time is because he shot at me as I drove by - I was just buzzing his bus in good fun - he's the one who decided to play the pewpew angle. Having said that, I appreciate that Dickle keeps coming back to the same server over and over and never combat logs!

Ran thru Tisy this morning. You know, if you run through it, then kill soem time cooking your wolf meat, then run back through it, it sure spawns a lot of military tents. Made myself a little military tent village: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=843293094 http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198040825046/screenshots/ You can't see them all, but there are 13 in total. With see-only alleys, dead-ends, etc. At one point, I set one up wrong, and pinned myself between 3 tents and the wall - had to log onto the UK server then move forward about 2 meters before logging back to SC-02.

@Fing and @IMT, not sure how Brooks got Fing's bus up there from the East entrance that you two came in. To get mine (which I brought in from the West entrance by the Radar Station), I had to get out on foot and scout a clear path as those tiny concrete curbs are everywhere; I had to wind around the central plaza with the statue, but once I did, I was about 100m straight in front of the middle ramp - you just floor it, making a slight right turn before the ramp to miss another curb (which we marked with a flare) - I was going 48 kmh in 4th gear with the shift key held down when I hit the bottom of the ramp - so fast, I almost crashed at the top.

Was running around a bit this morning. @Girth Brooks, @Fing and got all these vehicles on top of the ramps at Tisy: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=840666139 (How do you like that @IMT? ) Also, somehow, I jacked up my inventory to display huge icons - anyone know how to turn that off? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=840665026

Or for smashing them into each other. Or grenading them. Or driving them off cliffs.

Have a cold, so sitting at home playing DayZ. A good 6 hours yesterday. Had only 2 crashes; and one was likely due to our demolition derby involving 2 trucks. Still many tweaks needed, imo, but the build seems to run very well for me. Also, BioHaze, sorry about your sedan:

I was on TS with someone. I had just said that I thought I was running behind someone - as everyplace I looked had been looted. They mentioned that only you and some name I didn't recognize were on the server - think their named started with an S. Yelled into TS: I'm pretty sure I just drove past Pongo (didn't recognize the other guy's name, so would have been surprised if he was that far inland). Map seems huge at times, tiny at others!

Were you the guy on SC-02 in Vybor, by the police car, that I drove by in my V3S today? I knew where all but one other player was. :D

Drove a V3S chassis around this morning trying to gauge its durability. Drove full speed (~50 k/h) into: a tree; a Hesco barrier; and a parked car. Ruined the battery and some tires (although my character never took damage). I stopped having to open the door to get in/out, but otherwise, it drove fine. No decrease in speed or performance.

I've only played on SC-02, but all the spawned vehicles I have found were ready to go - even if they showed damaged tires or even ruined batteries (or no glow plug) - just hop in and go. SC-02 does not have persistent vehicles. Barrels are persistent. I have a tent up, but won't know until the server resets in about 2 hours. ETA: Forgot, the server crashed earlier; yet my tent is still there. I'm calling tents persistent on SC-02.

So, think I figured the answer out. Guess all non-persistent items reset on a server crash. Bc none of the vehicles were in the spots I had seen them in the last 20 minutes. :sadbanana: I had 2 barrels on that truck. Also, the helicrash where I respawned was gone, but all the loot was still on the ground.

So, driving a V3S and the server crashes. I'm back where I last entered the truck. The truck is not there. Is it gone? A predictable spot?

This has been a good week to have no work to do!

And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, who put the "holster" and "throw" keys right next to each other; and why am I too stupid to remap them even after having thrown my silenced pistol in the tall grass multiple times??? :D

I've always hoped that rain wear would go over normal clothing, keeping you dry, but limiting access to your inventory - When I throw on a rain slicker over clothes, that's how it generally works.

Sucks, but good to hear. Glad you mooks didn't wreck all those vehicles after I logged. :D Barrels on the other hand are persistent.

So, there appears to be no vehicle persistence on SC-02 (the US first person server). Is that correct?

Just got updated to .136960. IBTL

Don't see any EXP servers except for AUS - which are running .136960. Hmm.
