What would really help this "game" is if you could you know...actually talk to someone in the game.

Unless you can tell us on what servers and where you found them. I call bullshit. I have been looking for choppers for weeks and found squat.

There is no such thing as a "simple" helicopter. If this is supposed to be 5 years after the zombie apocalypse then I seriously doubt there would be any choppers serviceable.

nope, character just keeps running (g510)

well my problem is now I can't see us servers. Nothing seems to be working atm. Is there a hive issue again?

Since tents and vehicles have been fubar since the beginning I can only assume they can't be fixed. None of the "fixes" have ever worked. I suppose we will have to think of it as a feature and not a bug.

Six launcher will not fix that issue. I tried and that software reeks. I have the same issue. I went into the expansion tab on the main menu and I had 2 dayz expansions listed. One said @dayz and the other just DAYZ . One was not checked. I checked them both and now the issue has gone away. /shrug

Whats up with that? They were there before I updated to 1.7.2.5 and updated arma2 to the latest build...now nothing? NM they showed up after a restart.

I thought I once saw a message that US 77 was being discontinued. Does anyone know if that is still true? Do I still need to move my tents?

I have been alive in the game for almost 4 weeks and I play everyday for a while. How do I do this? I avoid other players and create my own "fun". I avoid other players whenever possible. I only kill zombies if I have to. If this were real wouldn't you avoid them? I have murdered only one person. I did this because he was in my "territory" which is the area around Pustoshka. He had a name that indicated he wasn't a nice person so I offed him to avoid conflict while I was executing my mission. I don't DC when I get into a fire fight. I try to avoid others by being stealthy. Unless I'm in my truck you won't even know I'm there. I am fully equiped with military gear, quille suit, NV and everything from SD9 to m107 for weapons. I tell you this to demonstrate that you can get this type of weaponry without killing other players or risking your life around the military airfields. You just have to use your head and have fun.

yea, that place is spookier than Green Mountain at midnight! You better stay away :). They eat brains ya know...

what server is that and where is it parked that it cannot be reached? I want to see this.

Personally I'm done with this so called "Alpha". I might give the standalone a try. I don't want to play a gimped "mod" of Arma 2 or Arma 3 or whatever.

If you're hoarding vehicles full of equipment you should know that you can loose them at any time. This is what happens when we find them. They are driven to the coast, disabled and or destroyed. Free stuff to any who find them. There's bandits and then there are Bandits.

I keep losing my gear in tents also. Vehicles are also losing items. It happens between restarts also. I logged out, came back later to switch some gear in a tent. Not there. I'm beginning to hate this mod.

Looks like choppers will be returning in the next patch. That's awesome. What will you be doing with yours? I just know everyone wants one and has plans to acquire one. Only 3 or so per server? hmmm... someone will get left out lol. For someone who plays alone it doesn't make a lot of sense to even have one. What could you actually do with it? IF you managed to acquire a Huey how would you hang on to it for more than a few hours? I believe there are cheats that will allow people to snatch all the vehicles on the map so whats the point of getting one? So what's your plan for your shiny new bird?

Vehicles except bikes and perhaps motorcycles should be removed entirely. That includes helicopters. This is supposed to be the zombie apocalypse. Do you realize how much maintenance and fuel it really cost to run a chopper? When the end comes they will all be gone in a few weeks. Same goes for all the military gear. Nice to play with but not realistic. The most realistic weapons in the game are the pistols, rifles, the crowbar and the axe. Oh and lets make the knife usable as a weapon. It's the only fair way to treat the issues imo.

The birds should be in-game very soon. Please let us know how your "acquisition" went! We all like a good adventure story :)

I hear there is a huge tent city with everything you can imagine in it. Its about 250 meters straight south of the big dock area on the coast near Cherno under the water on most servers. Must be a clan stashing shit on lots of different servers?

Yeah, no re-spawns at crash sites. You can literally risk your life for bandages.

Six launcher is crap. stop using it and install manually. Works every time.

Loot can de-spawn if you log into a building. Seen that happen. Just leave and come back and it should be populated with new stuff. The issue I am encountering is loot not spawning or changing at all for hours... The same loot that was on the server LAST NIGHT is still there this morning and probably will be until the server restarts at noon. Maybe this particular server needs to restart more often. Once per day seems insufficient to keep things fresh.

Something is apparently fubar with loot spawns. Yesterday I played off and on all day on the same server. The supermarket in this particular town I was in had the same loot all day. If something changed it just changed to tin cans. I killed zeds in the supermarket and came back 2 hours later from another town that was empty also. The zed were still lying there AFTER TWO FREAKIN HOURS! One had a bandage on him and the other had a tin can. The same thing with all the other loot spots in the town including the church and the houses. I thought the server was supposed to re spawn loot every twenty minutes or so when you got within 200 or so meters but it is not working. Something is out of whack with loot spawns.

Helicopter spawns should not be limited to just those few locations that EVERYONE knows about. Make them more random, like out in a clearing in the forest, or near a small town, or even IN a village. That would be more fair. The known spawn points will be utter chaos. If you want to live, don't go there.
