Glow sticks.

really? stop trolling my profile.

its not DEAN that has investment into the game anymore. its HICKS. pointing out facts is all, when did i mention i had no faith? was it because i said persistence is broken? it is. again facts.

you're right because .55 wasn't the problem. persistence is. it was broken with "new spawn points", and its still broken with "old spawn points" . go into a server and check either vybor or the firestations at NWAF, or the military tents. guarantee there will be massive amounts of loot because its only spawning in small areas. the only change is that now food houses are actually spawning food. forcing persistence when it isn't ready is the main issue.

dean could care less. he sold it for money and has now moved on. pretty sure he said on twitter he would ban anyone else that mentioned dayz on his feed. he did in fact say that.

guys calm down.... persistence is working as intended.

I dont know the percentage, but there is a chance it will still explode. honestly i think its 70/30 (explode/dearm) 3/4 mines iv tried have blown up... the condition of them might have a factor in it as well. best advice would be to stay away if you think its set. iv also had them blow up with me activating them.. ha .. but that's kinda rare. bear traps are the same, yet iv had alot more success de-arming them.

pretty sure its a 1-2m radius.

Have to admit I never saw any infinity ward or Activision devs on the cod2 forums. You rock hicks.

Hold the G key for a bit and throw it out the ladder side

try joining low population servers to try and gear up... there will be hardly any loot on the coast for mid to high population servers... even low population servers loot is difficult to find. hope for a cherno spawn and run to the western houses... then run up to the apartments and check the car spawns... then try and make your way west... then north... loot is spawning pretty well when you get to the west of the map. if you do spawn on the coast near a harbor... climb the cranes... i have found loot all the way to the top before. good luck, you'll need it.

Choppers are staying in the same location... rumors have it that they do spawn loot but are on an extended time table... 6 hours, 12 hours, maybe even days.... choppers need fixing

yea you have to be weary of parties in DAYz. Go with good intentions, but be ready to fight.

desync bro. good ole dayz got the best of you

distance, ping, and running speed all play in on how the bullet will strike the target. shooting at a distance of 100m or less, you can pretty much aim right on and hit a running target... anything else you will need to aim slightly in front... at 250+ it becomes very difficult to hit a target that is moving.

the problem you run into is when you make the chances of finding a gun take an exorbitant amount of time.... should it take me 3-4 days of searching to find a firearm in a "loot" based game? hell, i hope that's not the direction of this game.

I'v given up on tents for the time being. keep your loot on your body boys and girls.

If your character goes naked.. someone stripped the loot off your body.... that requires an external program that battle eye looks for... same thing with your tent.

Iv lost 10 tents 5 m4s... etc... tents and backpacks are getting wiped with 1-2 server restarts... keep everything on your character.

persistance before .55 was working with tents and backpacks... now they despawn after 1-2 server restarts... :(

agreed 100%... WHAT IS PERSISTENCE DOING.

the loot seems to get better as you venture off the coast. all military areas are not spawning loot, or it is very rare to find something there. people claim the heli's are spawning loot but i have yet to see something at them. ( they are staying in the same locations for .55) i actually advocated a randomized loot system, but you should still be rewarded for going into a military area... my idea was for the loot to be random, with a small rare chance of finding a m4 in a house, but having them still spawn at the heli's. military gear should still spawn in military bases, but from what iv seen is not. (maybe its not respawning there because the shitty items at the bases are not being picked up... H1z1 has a similar system and people have to pickup the items for other items to respawn there... or the shitty loot will remain. IF you're a freshspawn on the coast check every stupid place you've never checked before... ( hint, climb the cranes... i had a backpack full of stuff just from climbing 3 cranes.) my understanding of persistence and how it works is.... as an area gets more and more looted things start spawning in areas that are less looted. (towns and locations not normally checked) which is why towns off the coast are a better bet at finding things... also check the BMP's and the rusted jeeps... i always find mags and pso scopes in those.

i got the same sickness from eating human steaks.... what you boys been up to???? >;)

this made me laugh so hard

the best place iv found gear is: tree stands/green guard towers around vehicles(all kinds) outside of the small jail buildings you cant enter food houses(hicaps/mil gear) iv found some small items in the normal houses and bars but it is few and far between, i agree that it is a struggle. find some friends that can help you when you run into towns that are BARE... i know how you feel.
