No the civ tents can be thrown off no problem. It's the car tents that just don't make it.

There is only one way to get a car tent off the roof and it requires the noblest of sacrifices. We tried everything. Throwing off the roof doesn't work. Running start and throw also didn't work. Dropping the car tent on top of the ladder - no dice. We can't look up anymore so the person underneath can't look at it to grab it. In the end, take in hands, have a buddy standing by, and jump off the roof. That's the only way.

What do you mean by this?

I thought it might be a GPU driver crash because my 2nd monitor, the one running off of my Intel HD 4600 (which is the on-die GPU of my i5-4690k), still works fine. I am not, however, able to recover video of any kind on my primary monitor, the one running on my GTX 970, when this happens. I've had it twice now and had to reboot my computer completely to fix it. Just a theory though. Next time I will check the event logs.

Go North. Not Stary Sobor north either. Like Stary Yar north. Look in the sheds that have walls made from horizontally placed boards that are mismatched leaving gaps that you can see through into the shed.

Unfortunately, I work 12 hours each on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I won't really be able to participate. Sorry Hicks. I'd build another Megadesktrov on Exp if I had the time. This is theoretically going to Stable on Monday, yes?

Reread the PM. I had posted twice and I'm guessing you missed the first one.

Yeah, me too. There are references to wolves in the game files already. Should be very interesting.

I'm giving this a bump because I want to keep this going for a bit longer. Hope that's okay @themods.

We actually have multiple camps. More tents than this have spawned on this server. I haven't even checked some key areas thoroughly for tents. None of these were gained through hopping. Yes, it's an SVD. I got it by camping the quonsets at NWAF and murdering a hopper, something I generally dislike, but I dislike hoppers more.

Okay, but no medkit trick. :P PM me with a guess. I'm curious if people will ever begin to recognize camps by the scene on a more consistent basis. I know. I'm working on it. B)

Behold! My Megadesktrov! If you don't get the reference, that's ok. Not everyone showed up for work this build. (Stupid zambeez.)

I find it difficult to even talk about this stuff anymore. There are too many unknowns since the devs only tell us what they feel we need to know in as much detail as they think is necessary and only when they feel the time is right. Outrage culture on the internet is a bitch to deal with. Do I love where the game is right now? Not really. Will this even remotely resemble the final product? Not likely. I don't even know what such core basics like movement, running speed, duration of running, food & water consumption, item scarcity, etc. will look like next week, let alone at beta.

Exactly. I mean, ffs, I spent two hours running around gathering stuff to make an impromptu "fishing only" camp this morning, where we are only allowed to eat baked beans, caught and cooked fish, and drink Rasputins. I can't imagine anyone wanting to watch that on a stream, but I damn sure loved doing it. EDIT: When the beer is gone, the fishing trip is over.

If we're all being honest, I think that, deep down, that's all most of us really wanted to hear. The things we like to do in DayZ aren't as much fun to watch on Twitch. Hope you are feeling better.

Have you found any mines whatsoever? Several of us have been curious about whether they are spawning but I haven't gotten around to asking.

That's another place I've been looking. In Exp, I had found them in the sheds that are slapped together boards with holes that allow you to see into it. Wasn't sure if they were still there, but sheds are worth checking for all manner of things these days anyway. Just haven't gotten lucky yet.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Hell yes it has. I adamantly oppose murder in this game and even I do this sometimes. It's literally the only way to combat the plague of locusts that strip every military location bare within days or hours of a public patch.

There are never more than 3 as far as I can tell. I'd be more than happy to let you ride shotgun on my route. If you don't walk away having seen at least two choppers, you get double your money back. My dad used to say that when he made us kids breakfast. EDIT: Also, been meaning to ask, has anyone seen a Hunting Bag? I've checked a solid 50 (perhaps more even) deerstands and feeding stations now and haven't seen any. Not a big deal, just curious.

I wish I had something more constructive to say but when I read "too much PVE" resulting in a ban, my blood boiled. Very cool though guys. Maybe I will try this at some point.

I started this line of discussion. I have found at least 25 choppers that were untouched this week, but had little to no items of upper tier quality. How do I know this? Simple. We have only had our server running for about 12 days and the only real traffic we get is from hoppers at NWAF. I know that because we often sit at the quonsets and wait for them to run into our bullets like lemmings running off a cliff. I spend my mornings off driving around Chernarus alone except for the super occasional 10 minute or less hopper. Sometimes, I have even found choppers right after they have spawned and there had been no visitors to the server in the time between when it spawned and when I found it (knowing this because when I passed by the same area earlier on my route, there was no chopper). I have literally seen dresses and quilted jackets spawn at choppers. I no longer feel they are a worthwhile pursuit and honestly have to talk myself into going out of my way to check one when I happen across it. As far as I can fathom, this is because the entire public hive is being treated just the same as one private server. Once all the good gear is in the hands of players and maximum values have been reached, what else can it give you? It will still spawn some lower tier stuff, but there will be no high grade stuff. My opinion on this matter will probably be disputed since I can offer little more than anecdotal evidence, but I've watched the loot tables change every day since the patch went to Stable. The choppers are not what they once were. At this point, I count myself lucky to walk away from a US crash with a single box of 5.56. In order for the current system to work, in my opinion, players need to start dying and losing gear. Let's hope the infected return with the brute strength and numbers necessary to start challenging even the people who don't hang out all day at hot spots and occasionally killing them.

So you put barrels into the branches of trees and laid rifles down randomly in the woods? I hate to be an ass, but that's not a base. That's just randomly throwing stuff in the woods.
