Well then they should fix that, because I doubt punching a motorcycle helmet repeatedly would do anything except break your knuckles.

Actually, once it happened before the update, and I figured it had been fixed and not mentioned in the patch notes due to being such a trivial and unknown glitch, but after the logout timer update I found and put 4 New Testaments in my hoodie (you know, just to be silly) and what do you know, my items disappeared! Either really odd coincidence or I've just gotten unlucky. You can also be looted if you're knocked onto the ground by a melee weapon, but if that were the case they'd have to have ruined your Motorcycle Helmet with multiple melee hits first, and you'd have logged in unconscious after that most likely. So yeah, probably lost your items due to a glitch.

Sometimes gear will randomly disappear when you log off, it's happened to me 2 times before (on the stable). Both times, it occurred when I had 4 books placed inside my hoodie, and the same items disappeared: pants, shoes, backpack. My gun (and the ammo in it)/melee/shirt/helmet/gloves all stayed, except the bottom right book in the hoodie. Both times, I logged off of a low population server in the middle of nowhere, and you have to be handcuffed/unconcious/dead to be looted, none of which I was (healthy status).

Protip: Go play on one of the other million DayZ servers where you can do whatever you want. Does anyone else see the irony of people crying about how others should stop crying about KoS and play the game the right way? Instead of calling them babies for playing the game a way you don't like why don't YOU stop being a baby and accept that others might want to play the game a different way? The PvP elitism on this forum is disgusting sometimes.

Thanks! Surprised to see so many votes against it, though. Looks like people are really pushing for military over civilian.

DayZ has one of the worst player communities ever, and I don't just mean in game... You forumgoers are so aggressive and hostile towards anyone who has a differing (albeit valid) opinion on such a trivial matter. Frankie is an entertainer, that's literally his job, just like a musician or an actor. Some people have different tastes in music, but if a musician has fans that enjoy his music they're doing something right, whether you like them or not. If you don't like Frankie its fine, but some people are entertained by him, there's no need to go on a crusade against him or people that enjoy his work.

Yep, I gear up to what I'm content with, then wind up getting bored and can't find much good combat, so I usually drop all my gear in the middle of a frequently traveled road on a popular server and go jump off a cliff or something, then start over again. I guess I'm one of the few people that actually enjoys the process of gearing up, but I'm weird like that.

Indeed! I suggested this previously, but with the inclusion of one-handed melee weapons as well (Hammer/Knife/Machete, etc.).

Woohoo! Huh, I thought I was the only one to have suggested it. Guess not. Either way, want to see it added.

Or they could add the ability to load slugs/buckshot into separate chambers of the IZH-43, or in a pattern into the tubular magazine of whatever pump action or autoloading shotgun they choose to add. I still suggest the Baikal MP153.

They should be smart enough to look at the time listed in the server list, and even then I don't blame people who do this, I avoid night time servers completely as well, it's a nuisance to play in unless you have a flashlight or headlamp, and then you're just giving your position away. There's really no reason to play in a night time server in my opinion, I can't find any enjoyment in them personally.

Enough for you to run 1000M, are you a nutjob? Just because you had a single poor experience doesn't mean the game should adapt because of a random scenario that barely ever happens. Even in 30 seconds it's enough time for someone to randomly stumble across you and kill you, or for (soon) a zombie to respawn and aggro onto you, if you think it needs extending at all you're off your fucking rocker. Also, why would you even climb a ladder up to him? That's a stupid choice in general, if he was smart he'd have waited for you to get halfway up the ladder and shot you in the face as you were helpless 20 feet off the ground.

That's because in Day Z you ARE your khakis, characters are meaningless beyond loot because it is the only form of character progression.

Head: Motorcycle Helmet Face: Rocket Aviators Body: Hoodie Hands: Work Gloves Legs: Cargo Pants Feet: Athletic Shoes Bag: Improvised Backpack or Improvised Courier Bag Melee Weapon: Splitting Axe Firearm: IZH-43 (Full Length) I usually keep the Splitting Axe inside my backpack to conceal it, and the rest of the slots are filled with canned goods, soda, water bottles, and canteens. I also carry a sewing kit, a bandage in 2 different articles of clothing (in case one gets ruined), and a splint or morphine auto-injector, and of course something to open the canned goods with. Also, my Helmet/Hoodie/Gloves/Pants/Shoes HAVE to match, I REFUSE to wear clothes that don't match in public. Ugh.

If you go to a military base to get geared then come back to spawn locations on the coast, you should be embarrassed.

They're wearing ballistic helmets, going by a IIIA standard they should be fine, they shouldn't even be knocked out. Hopefully when they properly implement ballistic vests and make some changes to the helmet it will reflect this.

I am 95% certain that Green Piano Houses will not spawn FNX Magazines, because they don't military loot. I've looted a ton of them because Berezino is my default go-to city, and it has two, not once have I found an FNX or magazines for it. I've found tons of Mosins, B95's, Shotguns, and all loose/boxed ammo except 5.56, but never an FNX or FNX Magazine.

I'm still confused as to why so many people in Chernarus own guns with no magazines, magazines with no guns, guns but no ammo, and ammo but no guns. Realistically that'd happen, but it would be a very poor choice to implement into the game for balance reasons.

Yeah, CR75 is a CZ75 SP-01 with an ugly extended threaded barrel.

If they took them out, it's probably because they didn't wear right on the player models. They always looked like the shoulders were sitting at neck level for some reason.

If anything, the 1911 should replace the FNX spawning in Civillian locations, and the FNX should spawn strictly in Military loot areas now.

Late month on the response, but when I said SA I literally meant Single Action, not SAA. Just about every Single Action Revolver loads like this.

Melee weapons, canned food, watter bottles, and medical kits can spawn on top of the AC Units on the top of the apartments like that in Berezino.

One handed weapons, despite being garbage against players, are like 3 hit headshot kills against zombies. I always carry one unless I have an Axe (even if I carry a bat/crowbar/wrench/shovel or whatever, I still keep a knife/machete/saw/screwdriver/hammer in my inventory for Zombies because it's easier to get headshots with them).

No. I love carrying sewing kits around, and I don't want to have to deal with desync, that is why I now no longer carry any other containers that aren't worn on my body.
