It may have been the tree as-well. Trees have been known to do that!

When you see someone, it'll show on map. When you spot zombies for etc. it'll show up on map. Survivors as-well.

So, after that whole fiasco of "l85 removed from game" bs, come to find out, it was just a rumor, and it was actually just bugged out when the update hit? Who spread the rumor in the first place? Were people just assuming? I should have waited to update. Yes yes, I know "it's in alpha" "don't get attached to gear". Which is fine, I understand. People have to admit though, it is frustrating when you log in and stuff just vanished, regardless of the, alpha, attached to gear statements. Just a small little vent. I'm not angry, more of a 'meh' attitude. Flustered, I suppose? Just ranting because when I logged it, my L85, and M4 CCO SD, and 1911 were just completely gone from inventory, Left me without any weapons for some reason, which resulted in my death because of defense. :( Was their ever actually a cause for things to vanish, or just a bug from updating?

Well good to see people understand :) I do not agree with what you said in regards to the game being a deathmatch. Their has been plenty of occasions were I've ran into people up north, we see eachother and see eachothers gear and we come to agreement that neither of us want to take the chance in losing it. Its happened plenty of times, or ill pass people litterally 5 feet away and all they say is hey what's up, and we keep on going our seperate ways. Its only deathnatch in the known hostile major cities, cherno being one of them. Not very often you'll go their and find a guy ready to come face to face. Most of the time I don't shoot on sight unless I see something like that for example. I give warning shots, and it works sometimes. Just the sound of the m4 is very aggressive, don't mess with me kind of sound. Haha. Ill tell you guys about the robbery here in a bit. That was very very scary. Most intense confrontation I've ever had. I'm on my phone right now just plucking away so it'll take a bit for that story. Its good though. I was shaking like a leaf wwhen it happened. I had to quit playing for a bit after the event happened cause I was stunned, haha!

I'm sorry. I went down to beach to meet a buddy. Was sitting in tree line near cherno waiting for him to log in. I heard gunfire right next to me. I crouch behind a tree and look over. I see two guys looting two dead bodies of people they just killed. Obviously you guys weren't looking to sit around a fire with a cup of tea and chit chat. I take aim, and revenge the two fallen survivors. Shot 3 bullets from my m4 in a quick burst knocking down the first guy. The second I see prone crawling into a bush for cover. I unload 20 rounds into the bush to see you die. I cautiously walk over to the sound of flys and 4 bodies. I notice it only got 1 kill. Look over and 1 of you is still bleeding passed out. I put you down to be with your friend. As I'm seeing what you guys were carrying, I hear someone running nearby. I leave the gear screen and here is another guy full on sprinting at me with a axe! What the hell? Switch the m4 to full auto and took him out. I'm sorry but I have no trust with all this going on next to me I'm cherno. Just protecting myself. On, and right after than about 15 minutes. A group of 3 heavily armed tried to rob me. Hmm

Don't listen to them beefburger. They are a PRIME example of why Rocket said he is 100% against having a forum. Why these idiots bother posting if they are just going to flame is beyond me. If it honestly makes you that angry, hit the back button and find something worthy to contribute, asshats.

I really don't mind. I've been a part of so many Alpha's and Beta's, it's just part of the deal. Everyone jumps in expecting this is the final game. I agree with Rocket when he said he didn't want anything to do with forums. It would have been best. I mean, look at the out cry when something isn't going their way... Everyone just needs to relax. A guy that developed a mod, getting this much attention is hard enough to take on as it is. As if that isn't enough stress, come into a forums with a bunch of babies might make someone a little frustrated. This all reminds me of way back in the day when Counter-strike first came out as a mod for half-life. I remember downloading it the day it hit the internet. Still playing to this day! Hope to see rocket take this game as far as they did.

Thank you, rinaun. I understand exactly how their systems works. I was just not understanding what happened with the update. I just got home, popped on the forums, saw the update came out, and saw tons of threads of people freaking out. Given I have great gear, i'm 100% aware that this is a alpha and am fine with starting from scratch. Though, if it wasn't intended to reset characters, or their is a bug when joining directly after update hit, i'd prefer to save myself the hours of looting. :)

That isn't an answer, The Black Pope. In no way am I complaining about any loss or anything. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. Don't throw the typical "welcome to an Alpha mod" response, when you did NOT read.

Don't flame me. I've been reading all through the forums, and it's just chaos. Can't tell from rumor to what is actually true. Someone mind explaining what is going on? Was their a character wipe? Is it bugged? Everyone isn't very clear in what they are trying to say... Are some people not having issues logging in w/ the update, or is everyone screwed?

Yeah, don't know what you guys are talking about saying the thermal distance was way to long. Not saying it's easy for people to go out and use thermal in real life but, for those of us that have used thermal, know that it is accurate. ARMA is based upon extreme realism, they wouldn't have put something in the game that isn't accurate. Hell, youtube it. What do you think the police use in helicopters at night to spot criminals on the run? Don't see them going to court saying it's over powered, let me try to run again... haha. I can see yes, and no of it being removed. Yes it's a zombie apocalypse, and it kind of defeats the purpose of being stealth and trying to hide. No, because, well...their is a ton of military bases, helicopter crash sites, and it's a military weapon. I can see it going both ways. Instead of removing it, think I would have just made it even more rare than it was. So, not everyone could just get one, and balance it. Oh well, I don't mind either way. I had one, and like most only used to to scout my path, and to hunt for animals.

I'm afraid to try, haha. Both very rare guns!

What? I know how to see in backpack. I'm talking about switching primary weapons. I have two. One in my pack and one im holding. They both take the same magazines. I wanted to switch the one from backpack to holding. I know it used to make the weapon disapear if you didn't have room. Don't know if this is still the case?? Also wondering, since they both take the same magazines, will it still try to move the magazines with the rifle?

In Game: 1. Game does it for me :s (IRL: of course, I live in Arizona, have my CCW, and have too many guns :) ) 2. No. 3. I don't. I hide where I can't be seen, and attempt to make contact. I do everything I can in attempt to avoid any firefights. I generally try to help people if I run into them. I don't stick around with people too long, maybe a few minutes, because i've read to many stories of people back stabbing others for gear. With the gear I have, I don't risk it, not that i'm very attached, I just keep it easy. :)

Anyone help me out? Still haven't tried, too afraid to lose my stuffffs
