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

nah bro nah

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

Sadly lost another 2 tents... and rare loot... tents are still broken, getting wiped on server resets, pitch at your own risk.

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

1. never had this happen... but sounds like a bug. 2. the smersh use to do the same thing. 3. have you tried using them? could just be a glitch where it says 1 but really your inventory thinks its 10.

anyone still having trouble with farm plots disappearing?

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've loled alot the last few days reading these forums... this patch is kinda bad, and has alot of bugs, but they will eventually get ironed out... have faith.

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.

oddly enough it was outside... but very close to a well.... tried it today and it worked.... money.

fyi my backpack disappeared on restart... be careful dropping it.

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

tried a flare today... " to dangerous to use that " whatever that means.....

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.

lol.... sure you don't. why would i be butt hurt when i still have a m4, smersh, 65, fnx, nades, and coupled mags.... nice try :)
