Hot or cold did it both ways, took cloths off too. Its ok i got sick of the message spamming me so i dropped a frag at my feet... blew myself and the pristine m4 up :) I did feed the Infected though........ yummmie

Today while playing around, it said drink canteen, it was the pot. I hit cancel and it didn't right away i don't know why i dragged and dropped it from my hands to my inventory but i did. I had the graphics bug, where i couldn't drop the pot. I only lost a 2nd 101 rifle which was ok, no mag. However i did not lose my gear, when reloading into the game. I really hope for everyone's sake this gets fixed right away.

Scroll down a few topics would have reviled this one Tests been showing this, pots and maybe other things like gun inventory, and scripting issues.

Numpad 1 and numpad 6 skills, skills :)

Green Mountain is probably the first to come to mind for any long-time player. We all remember the radio broadcast, and the ghost stories. Vyshnoye is another good callout from the old-time players. These days I see more people living more Westward to stay in contact with the military bases, but Zub castle and environs were a sort of home for many groups, and I still know the terrain like the back of my hand. That castle was important strategic ground back when snipers could hit 2km shots with the right rifles and a little patience. Stary Sobor in particular will always be remembered fondly as a place of utter destruction and mayhem; it served as a central hub to most of the North, had some interesting terrain and varied cover, and a good spread of loot locations - but no hospital to cower in while approaching enemies respawned the medical gear, so you knew you'd have good fights. Berezino, Elektrozavodsk, and Chernogorsk were fucking crazy. You never knew what you'd find if you chose to stick around there. Most of the hero-vs-bandit wars took place there, the bandits murdering and then the heroes eventually being called in on global chat. Frequently you'd run across lone and lightly geared survivors - sometimes a fight would ensue, sometimes a friend would be made, but often betrayal was involved. I've met some of the least trustworthy and some of the most trustworthy DayZ players in those cities. But home? For me, home will always be Kamenka, away from the action, plenty of civilian loot, and a mixture of major roadways for newbie navigation, hilly forest for a covered retreat, and now the option of fishing, some military bases within easy reach, and prison island to swim to when I get really fucking bored. I probably spend most of my time around the Zeleno-NWAF-Stary triangle since that seems to be where most of the action is, but Kamenka is home. EDIT: Oh, let's not forget Balota. LOTS of crazy fights at Balota. Until you get tied up :) Like you did by a group at the gas station lol Oh wait that was grimey rick???

Love the ghillie and sorry about the landmines :)

What a waste of time watching this. Here give you a better way. https://www.izurvive.com/

Good job guys, keep "Stay'in alive" :)

Your not the only one that doesn't like the system. I don't expect them to touch this one until beta at the very least. and i bet chances are it goes the way you suggested, about gear loss as a whole. Guessing, betting (counting on it being just a simple placeholder until a real system is out)

Thanks bud :) I have to agree with green mountain for dayz, but as for home?? Ill pick boneboys location. "until the sheep, leave their flock"

I had to revisit this with pots. Did you have some desync issues at the time this was happening? I have seen this before, but not to the point of a wipe. I have 1 pot, filled with water, and usually 4 cans in it or other important items such as bandages etc.. This is what i do, i place it into my chest slot, i drag it to my hands and drink from it. I also eat from it if i place it on the ground. Pot = 2 canteens or 2 water bottles approx... of water. with 4 slots to hold items in. Which is perfect for us hoarders of food. I am going to guess, that you may not be able to duplicate this issue, unless its in the handguard swapping code it goes through. Such as the cans of food being shifted in the 4 slots. Like the gun is being shifted. Water on the other hand seems to be not an issue. It may have been a horrible desync issue that caused your wipe, or you had something in that water container that is directly related to this whole problem such as a handguard?? In the end it maybe the same thing over again, the desync is being caused by the code we access through each and everytime something is swapped in the "Gun" area. Best i can come up with, without going through all the code.

Good to know guys, pretty much most of my testing is without flashlights (except on pistols) but handguard shifts when you add in inventory to that. If you notice all 4 or so pieces shift along the gun?? Some reason it seems to be going through the same code loop or whatever piece of code with handguards, weapons, bipods, pots and probally many more items. Hope a dev can chime in, if we are on the right track. just not sure what all items are effected to that code. I really needed your guys help in figuring some of the stuff out, as i never have seen this bug to this day. Doug and many others just not able to play, because they keep doing the same things over and over that causes the wipe. Thank you

I tried my very best to explain an already complex system the devs have to use to reduce health and gear at the same value. Remember nothing is finalized, all maths, systems can be changed at any time. Understand most of what the more experienced users, and official, and non official words are telling us about the system. It took a very long time for me to understand the whole idea behind the current system. I had my doubts if it was correct. There is always a 1000 ways to program in different methods, in the case of this, we could have even a damage engine control everything for us in the future.

To answer your question eno, maybe because arma 2 with / dayz mod is not up to par to the dayz engines. (didn't they close down the arma 3 dayz mod?) Redoing a fresh new look for some people maybe what they wanted and pledged into Dayz SA for that option. Not everyone will go with the war, like said Poster but it ends up being a survival / fight. Because quite frankly there isn't much else to the game right now. Planting crops? i can do that in most games. Building a house? sure if you want to play house with your boyfriend. Building a fire, to cook your deer meat... isn't there already deer hunter games? without the boil your fat off the BBQ theme park. I have a totally different plan, the first one being a big map change. Cherno is so over played it isn't funny. Although i do enjoy the changed dayz made to it. New map, new ideas, same engine. New spawn points, better areas to setup a camp etc... so many ideas can change the private servers. Keep the original the way it is i say... let the modders go private.

P = Players on server. A) Take it away, 2-3 routes to see players online anyway (3rd party). *Note* It needs to be directly linked to the server via GUID connecting to the server not steam (who's online). *Special note* If we have steam doing the work for us, it will allow players to play offline. Hiding status on the server. Put P back in, and have it setup to GUID connecting to the server so that server admins will be able to do a better job. It is up to those to turn it off by default. But by not having it hides status for some... i repeat only some that are not tech savy. 1. I am all in favor of having steam being blocked completely of who is online in that server. *SHOWS nobody* through steam in game. Friends still show up in server browser. 2. I am in favor of admins having access only for players connecting, for admin purposes only. 3 neither above, just put P back in. As a tech, i must stress how difficult this is for those that do not understand, or just don't care the advantages, and disadvantages there is. To feedback tracker this, without discussion first is not the way to do it. Please discuss, this is directly related to server tools, and those playing across the board fairly. Keep it civil, or have it locked. Its important we do a proper feedback on the issue i see a problem for people that are not tech savy. Tell me why you feel P being off is better, or tell me why you feel P is better on. Remember to understand 3rd party apps can see steam logins, otherwise everyone will go steam offline to play. It hides status in the server.

Yup the play button is awesome idea, if you are alone and don't have a group to play with.. your spread out in the world. At this point it doesn't matter who is on the server, because you know your in a populated server or not. Expect the worst

Check inside the pot... empty pot with 0 items. no water inside the pot too. Now see if you can place it inside the barrel. Items inside the pot, and water i bet don't fit inside the barrel. Your other theory is spot on bro... nice

It is very possible with the nesting code, it uses the same as the handguard, and bipod (shifting inventory) goes through the same coding as those weapons or all weapons. If it doesn't use those values it never gets to that code. Because it has 4 slots inside the pot, could those items you stored in the pot also cause the endless loop? thus causing the wipe to your character. bet its reducing gear items except for the object you have in hand. Like the gun and the pot???

You are about right by stating your concerns. Many of us will feel the same about realistic. Death on the other hand can happen by just 1 bullet. If i am correct, Wobo may have put a video out there on the HP system. I understand it to be the HP top down system. If your HP start to reduce so does your gear, slowly destroying piece by piece until everything is destroyed. To adjust this, we have containers to protect our items inside. 5 cloths = 1 cloth (understand they count as 1) To change this whole system we would need a completely different way, by looking at the HP system different then the HP top down system effecting gear. Instead have so many HP until your dead, and when it reaches 75% or 50% of heath then start reducing gear values. GEWS is best to do the charts for us, and explain it by graphs. But over all the system would be reduced by 25% to 50% of item destruction. Make sense? Otherwise a completely seperate system will have to be used. HP system separate from the Clothing system. If the bullet hit the chest reduce items in that area only. Every time a bullet hits the body, that area gets effected only. Example 1 bullet hits my helmet (Type of bullet = DPS%) 5.56 lets say for example is 85% compared to the top bullet in the game Damage value 8000 / 85%. Helmet is pristine = 100% and valued at 50HP Body HP value not sure its true rate = 10000 So if the rate of the bullet single shot =6800 (8000/85%) for every 1000bullet DPS value we reduce the Helmet value by 25hp notch until it is ruined. Helmet 50HP - 35HP worn - 20HP damaged - 5HP badlydamaged - 0HP Ruined. This has taken the helmet below zero = 0HP ruined. Anything after 0hp is reduced by the heath factor 2*25hp =50hp=2000dps off the 6800 we are reduced to 4800 off the total of 10000hp value. Your still alive the helmet has saved your life but you are pretty hurt. Since most 5.56 are burst type chances are the other bullet hit you in the chest. This is not true math, this is not really thought threw, and it really just made sense to use it here. Many ways something can go from ruined by 1 bullet but not 6 items all at once by a 5.56 shot. The only way to do that is by a burst method of 3 shots to the chest. By that time a simple vest is completely ruined and so is your body chest... chances are your dead. Edit = Since we are all full of beans, i thought i would use it here. Forgot to mention, 6 items in the chest each have different values. Such as a can of beans.... having a value of 5hp Chest value = 45hp, jacket = 10hp and 6 cans of beans each adding 5hp (not realistic because bullet can hit any of the 6 slots) in the end...... Pffffffffft....... pew

Ouch that's not good, i would not know what to say.

Yup, i can clearly confirm that the M4 with the bipod and handguard is an issue when swapping parts around, either it being painted or swapped. I feel the same issues can be somewhere in the AK versions. The 101 seems to be very stable the way it is. There is way to many tests i did without the bipod. I swapped in and out the handguards and other parts, and clearly it shows i have had 0 wipes.

Ok bro, ill test this with the AK's or whichever. Right now my M4 is ruined, and i cant find 1 bipod and 1 m4 (found M4a1) so i am thinking it was removed a couple days ago to be repaired by the Devs. If you can think of any way in which we may have done something different and you know how the bug works please by all means mention it. I am also testing other things out, but most of the guns are sound proof. Maybe we should remove painting weapons all together, if it causes issues in that department. Otherwise i am ok with a black and or wooden weapon. I think we might have solved the majority of the problems with the handguards and once the devs reply to us, it was the handguard code, bipod and database issues. Swapped handguards, on the new M4a1, with my old ruined gun. I will camp now. I have no bipods what so ever. Edit = Came back no problems. Took SS just as proof. Pristine M4a1 swapped handguards that where both prestine and now M4a1 is worn.... like really? flaw there too not once but twice.

Also having a difficult time finding another M4.

Awesome will check into that. Problem is finding the bipod :( havent seen one in ages now, even went to the airfield. Painting anything can cause issues, M4 painted stock makes the mag disappear, hitting empty didn't work until i logged off and back on. So, what i am seeing is the shifting of gun inventory around that may trigger the problem. Errors out somewhere between the bipod and the handguard. I think when you swap the hardguard after the bipod is attached the bipod disappears something like the gun painting to the mag i mentioned. If you remove the bipod back to the inventory, the handguard may not have an issue when you put the bipod back on. SO its a whole step, (I wish to test) 1. take bipod off of handguard before removing the handguard. 2. Replace the handguard Note **** Do not paint the handguard while the bipod is on, or remove the handguard while the bipod is on. 3. Put the bipod back on, would this cause the gun to go damaged? possible, but also possible the bipod wont lose the gear.

Oh, so change the play now scripts so it looks for the highest pop - lowest ping. Because right now if you hit Play it finds a server for you.
