Play hardcore, loot is much harder to get.

I really want to play, but I keep hearing that there will be a wipe tomorrow. Some say it happened today. I have no idea. I just really want to know before I invest the time tonight as it's limited.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm a fresh spawn. Gasp.

I've recently fallen in love with the hardcore servers, but it seems like every time a server restarts on me my character is reset. Recently, I was just randomly walking around and "testing...testing" popped up and we were all teleported to a lake with no gear. The whole server. Now, I've heard if you join a server over and over it will eventually give you your character back, but I've been trying for an hour going between servers and game modes...and nothing. Anything work yet? I know it's something being fixed.

I have to agree. Hiding tents and camps was already near impossible, with more and more possible foot traffic, it will be near impossible.

I've always had a passion for 3d graphic modeling, but it's hard to do something without an objective. I'm self taught and am still very amateur, but with the right amount of practice I learn quickly. These are a few mockups I did for a DayZ mod that never came to fruition: Now, I'm obviously not good enough yet to have publishable items, but it would be nice to have a small part in something that I enjoy. Thanks.

8/10 people I talk to or come across in this game only care about the military loot. There can be an entire changelog filled with awesome survival additions, but the only threads will be those regarding the new shiny weapons. I know that this game is PVP focused, nothing you can do with ever fix that..all you can do is hope to make it harder to get this gear. Server hopping for military gear right now is a huge problem, and "rare" military gear is everywhere due the the hundreds of possible drop nodes per server. That, and dupers. Want to limit the amount of M4's, AK's, Grenades, etc? Want to stop server hoppers? Move all military weaponry/attachments exclusively to heli crash sites. I'd like to see someone server hop a crash site. Yes, it's possible, but extremely improbable to actually find one in the exact same spot that hasn't been touched. Barracks should only spawn military apparel. Hats, Vests, backpacks, etc. Police stations should at max spawn a sidearm. Spotting a player with a kitted out M4 should be a "holy S*it, I haven't seen one in weeks" moment. Not a "Oh, look..another one" Limiting the availability of these weapons will no doubt increase the duping issue, but we should focus more on fixing that issue. I see this mod turning softer and softer each update, especially with only edible food now spawning.

I know this topic has been discussed, but you can't tell me you wouldn't have fun trolling geared players by shooting them with an "infected" arrow you poisoned by poking a dead zed. Yes, they'll probably kill you..but their scramble for meds after that would be so worth it.

Having all of that high end gear gives you an insane advantage to the needs above, though. My point is, all of that shit should be super rare and very, very limited on where you can find it.

The problem I'm talking about is the amount of potential spawn nodes the for high end gear. Right now there are thousands, if not more. That means that the rarest item will spawn a few time on the restart..and even more once loot re spawn is added and stable. Making military spawns static just screams for server hopping. Move them to heli crashes and random survivor sites..you'll see that number go way down.

Grab an SKS or Mosin, head over to Vybor military base. Find a nice spot in a low pop server. and wait. Some of these server hoppers are wayyy too attached to their gear. LOL, most fun I've had in a minute.

I spent the entire night last night searching for heli crashes (took a month off), luckily someone I ran into told me that they were taken out. I spent the next 3-4 hours running across the map to the various weapons drops looking for an M4, only to find out they've been taken out too! So, can we please have some sort of list of the items that were and are no longer in game so I can stop chasing ghosts?

First off, I have searched..and I have found answers. These questions are to those questions I have no found answers to. 1. When can we expect to see suppressors working? I can't wait until I can use a pistol w/ silencer. 2. Excrement. I see the files and screenshots...when will these be added? 3. Will there ever be smaller tents? I've seen one tent in game..and spotted it from probably 600-800 meters out. They're way too big to be effective or even useful. Thank you for taking your time to help me out.

LOL, I presume pooping will only be used to defile the deceased fresh spawns. I can see a freshly killed body with 4 coils of feces stacked ontop of him.

The files and models are in game already. Just not implemented.

I dream of the day where find a handful of Mosin rounds will be a huge reward. Every server i see says "High loot PVP!" The day where food primarily comes from the land..and not rotted cans. I guess that will come with private hives. I want to make ammo more rare than a friendly player. Bandits will have to decide if the Berezino fresh spawn is worth their 17 rounds of stanag they've found in 2 days.

Thank you. And yes, i mean poop.

Helicopters did ruin the immersion of the game. It was near impossible to hide a single tent or camp without a huey finding them within a day. That, and the people who owned the servers heli's parked them 10km in debug so they could never be captured. They had no part in what the original game was aiming for. Now, onto SA vehicles. I remember Dean saying that to fix up the vehicle you would have to have mechanics training or you would ruin the car even worse. I look forward to them. I also look forward to tents working and maybe smaller tents. Right now they're too large and most won't use them because they're pretty impossible to hide. The most fun (for me) on DayZ is running along the North and West parts of the maps looking for camps.

No shit it's totally bugged. Rocket said don't buy it right now, you didn't listen. That large box that warns you it' severely bugged everytime you start the game, you obviously didn't read. Make a bug report like the rest of us do instead of pointing out the obvious with vague "the game is bugged" reports.

The head is an organ? Oh, and I guarantee if you take a round to the lungs, or anywhere in the abdomen really, you're eventually going to die shortly after Again, this is not The Walking Dead. These are not "walkers". These are infected citizens that are very much alive.

This thread just proves the system works. When a bunch of butthurt people come out complaining about having to wait, or , God forbid move onto the next to loot.

LOL, server hopper is pissed. Well done!

Please. ;)
