AH, thanks! It's weird all the tutorial websites like DayZ wiki kept going on about blackening stuff with oak bark, guess it's hard to keep up with such a rapidly changing game. That's cool about the different shades of brown, too. I turned my leather vest a weird orangish-brown color that kind of made me sick to look at lol.I think it was the pine trees or the trees with white bark I meant server hosts completely resetting the loot on their servers, making it how it was before people interacted with the environment. I guess resetting persistence is the term I'm looking for.

Was it a public or a private server, and if it was public was it an official server? I have been playing on a hosted public server and have not lost my base in a week. However, owners of servers often run into reasons to completely reset the server, while other owners purposely reset their servers periodically.

I finally died with the AKM I've been carrying around for a few weeks, but during my time with it I grew to know the weapon quite well. I fully modded it (painted buttstock, handrail guard, bipod, working flashlight,suppressor, kashtan scope) and noticed that when it has ALL available attachments, there isn't enough room in the hands section of the tab menu to see Magazine! (ofc it has to be the most important part of the gun) So if you want to detach the magazine, you must first put the gun into your inventory. Simple remedy would be to take away the useless flashlight, but whatever. I also tried to "blacken" my natural leather sack and hat with oak bark, but didn't manage to find it. I found tons of regular bark, and the trees that looked like oak trees had 2 "cut bark off tree" options instead of the 1 that other kinds of trees had. I was able to use the regular barks to make the leather clothing brown.

Is it not rare now? I always play legit (no duping or purposely exploiting) and I haven't found a M4 since .58 stable release. I've found AUG a few times in officers tents and have found a few heli crashes, but no M4. What's the word on how they will make them even rarer?

I have this exact same thing happen to me every time I first start up the game. I wonder how many people get this? It didn't happen at the beginning of the .58 stable release, so maybe a hotfix caused it? IDK. hard to tell from here LOL

Hi guys, I have an AKM and I want to love it and kiss it and kill people with it but I have noticed it has a bit of a recoil to it. Does anybody know if the AKM gun is supposed to shoot like this? I feel like an 8 year old picking up his first gun when I fire and the barrel goes straight to the sky!

Any word of zombies being in .59? Still enjoying DayZ but not quite the same w/o the loveable little zombies... @ShoobieStomper Yeah I've had a plethora of issues with the improvised knife... it duplicates itself in my inventory, sometimes crafting one makes me unable to equip anything after making it... it's gotten so reliable at being buggy that I've just picked up the first real knife I see as opposed to crafting one.

Could be a number of things. In my experience it's been pretty safe to drop things in most places and easily find them. The places I've had problems with have been areas near bodies of water/rocks and inside houses with glitched loot (many times they will appear somewhere next to the house on the outside, sometimes completely lost) I have had a HUGE problem with items that I picked up from another person and double carrying. A friend loaned me a shotgun the other day and when I tried to vault over the fence, my character put the gun on his back, except it didn't go on his back, nor anywhere on the ground even though i checked the entire area around the fence where I dropped it. I also looted a gun off a dead body once only to not be able to switch between weapons and when I logged out and back into the server, the gun I had picked up and was holding had disappeared out of my hand and nowhere to be found. In general, I have found that dropping stuff on the ground outside has been pretty dependable, but I would be extra cautious when doing things that automatically holster your weapon for you (climbing laddres, going into deep water) and vaulting over fences.

Hey guys I just acquired an ak74 and I was thinking about taking the buttstock off to make it look more "thug". Only thing holding me back is the potential loss of precision. Does anybody know if Weapon attachments such as the buttstock, handguard, or the condition of the attachments make any difference to the handling of the particular weapon or perhaps some helpful resources on the matter of weapon attachments?

The areas in which players are found are much more diverse now... expect to see people making the journey from the coast to NWAF. I've been on full servers in the major coastal cities only to find them completely barren countless times. The new combat hotspots seem to be Vybor/NWAF and Tent City... Really enjoying the randomness of finding players in this patch.

Last 2 times I've made an improvised knife, my hands have glitched to where I couldn't hold anything. I can't remember if I pressed 'x' on my hands after making the knife or if it went directly to my inventory, I just know that after improvised knife was in my inventory, I couldn't hold anything. Dragging items over my hands would show the item in red and not allow me to hold. Got me killed last time. Dang it!

Just started my own mini-camp of sorts that included a barrel and a fireplace. I wanted to make it more homey by making the fireplace a stone oven, but a stack of 8 stones + fireplace did nothing but place the stones in the fireplace's inventory! Are there no stone ovens in this patch? Anyone else tried?

Well... looks like player-made loot pukes are back again... I think I'll spend most of my solo time in private servers to avoid people who abuse this.

.58 has been such a blast so far, a real breath of fresh air since the .57 patch. Seeing people complaining about not finding anything for 60+ buildings seems weird, as I have been leaving food behind in my travels because I am stuffed and have too much of it in my inventory! My friend and I shot and held up a guy at NWAF today and after begging for his life, he said that he was just looking for food. I found this strange as I had stockpiled more than enough in my journey to NWAF, but I gave him some food and all was well. LOVE the .58 patch in total, though. The lack of zombies is the only drawback. Finding people up north again makes me so happy :')

woofwoof90 You can just stand there and watch the assault rifle garden bloom magazines. :( Great,,, I've heard that it's a problem with persistence. Not the worst thing in the world, but really missing rarity of high-value items recently (.57 left a bad taste) Yeah I heard a while ago that one of the coming updates wouldn't include zombies on stable servers due to zeds causing performance issues. Looks like that's the case now. I ran into a player who said he found a couple earlier, but to me the only evidence that's good enough right now is PICTURES.

I know what you mean. Interactions are so dang underrated by many players. Makes you feel like you're not alone while wandering through the wastes. I especially like trading with people (though I'm not very good at it and it is usually pretty awkward). And I HAVE HAD quite a few friendly interactions on the .58 even without zombies. When I'm feeling friendly, I usually tell the other player I will put my weapon away first and then walk out into the opening. Seems to work pretty with establishing trust. Zombies should be really powerful, though. That would make people think MUCH more about whether or not they should kill the player they see ahead of them.

Well, there is a pretty serious bug where your character keeps putting gun back into inventory over and over. It's pretty show stopping, esp. if non-friendlies are around. Besides that, the game is playing quite smoothly and is fun. It annoys me, too, when people say that modding tools are going to "save the game" or that they're "just waiting for modding tools so the game can be good or something like that. People seem to overlook how fun this game can be and focus more on the bugs.

Still haven't seen a single zombie in dozens of hours playing experimental... all the while meeting players who claimed they've seen them. Any tips on finding these sneaky exp zombies? BTW I love .58 so far. It's often difficult to find other players on the coast on full servers, and finding plenty of players up north. So weird and new!

Man then I guess I'll have to use freshies as placeholders for zombies D:

GUYS WHERE ARE THE ZOMBIES??? I've been playing the exp since shortly after its release and through the multiple iterations of it, I have not found ONE. SINGLE. ZOMBIE. Are they just out of experimental? I saw Brian Hicks respond to someone that the numbers were decreased, but I have seen 0 zombies. It's gotten to the point where I'm just firing my gun while running along because I can't take the lack of action! Anyone seen zombies? Let me know I'll come and kill them for you!

Hell yeah it feels good! Love killing people.... but player vocal player interactions are also awesome... play how you want man i wouldn't be mad if you shot me on sight (i get that masochistic sigh of relief ALL THE TIME)

I have killed myself because I accidentally killed my friend and he said to "keep his stuff anyway." just felt weird carrying it around so I used it to kill myself. I have also killed myself for touching duped gear, but whenever I feel good about my current character and start to get bored with it, I just hang around the major cities in high pops and hope to go out in a blaze of glory.

Any tips on how to send a proper bug report? That was my intention here but I haven't found the official place to do it.

A few weeks ago I bought a new PC and ever since, I can't direct chat in-game while sprinting. This is really annoying because that's when I do a lot of my talking, lol. For some reason, when I press down Shift + W + Caps Lock, Caps Lock doesn't work. It works with other 3-key combinations, but just not that. My keyboard is a Black Silk Lenovo keyboard that came as default with my new pc. it's a very basic and cheap keyboard. Does anybody know if this is just a problem with the keyboard or if there is a setting I can change to make Shift + W + Caps lock work? Thank you.

Wow thanks for the great feedback. Never knew anything about that keyboard rollover. I will just use double tapping for talking for now lol
