Yup, the M4A3 CCO is probably and arguably the best gun in the game. If others are more powerful, others longer range and others quieter, but the M4 is deadly enough, quiet enough, loads of ammo and the torch comes in very handy from time to time.

Yup, I have only ever found a vehicle at its spawn point two or three times in the last two months. I now normally find vehicles only by searching the entire map, but then usually just an ATV under a tree, a badly hidden white pickup or the odd bicycle. Never any boats except one time I found the boats on the west edge of the map in the forest!! Given that I reckon I know pretty much where all the tents are within the map on the server, I am pretty sure most vehicles are hoarded offmap somewhere in clan camps. Said clans probably have a helo too, as I never seem to keep vehicles for long, usually it is a matter of hours before they are stolen again...except for ATVs, bicycles and motorbikes which are very easy to hide.

Also, I don't think the server 46.163.68.161:2302 is auto-restarting. Some loot that I dumped on the floor yesterday is still there today.

Hi there, Is DE 10 port 2314 is down, I can't seem to access it. BTW, I am new to DE 10 and there seems to be multiple instances running on different ports, makes it hard to know which one my tent is on sometimes :D

Definitely nice shooting there buddy, bet he feels a like right plonker now. I bet all your tents magically return after a server restart.

Shame about the timing of the PR tour, as core strategic elements of the game have been broken in the mean time making it a pointless exercise for me and, judging by the 24 hour player count, emptier servers, etc, quite few others.

Depends what distance. The G17 is absolutely accurate to 50m (the Zeds hearing range for the gun), the M9SD is hit and miss at 25.

Underwhelming, as in no where near as useful as you expected? The M9SD followed by the AKM. At the moment, with the amount of duped ammo, it is possible to keep armed with an M9SD, even if it is virtually impossible to shoot straight. But that inaccuracy once duping has been fixed will make the ammo next to impossible to find and the gun even more useless than it is now. All the AKs are a bit lackluster compared to the M4/16s due to rubbish sights, rubbish accuracy and default auto (i always forget to switch to single shot when changing weapons!) . The AKM especially rubbish because of the noise! Grub up! The most surprising gun range are the M4/M16. Mega in any configuration with stacks and stacks of ammo.

My DayZ Commander is showing that 9% of servers are using 1.7.4.5. I have 1.7.2.5 installed. Wassat all about then?

Any M4 or M16, CCO or Holo obviously better than iron sights, but any of that type is mega. Easy to find ammo, full auto and don't alert too many zeds.

Commander is such a good tool, one of the best I have seen for any game :thumbsup:

Agree, the "save" menu option has no place in this game. Looking through the server code, however it does seem that tents and vehicles within 20 meters of your position are saved automatically when you log out, but I can't understand the point of this logic at all. I don't understand why saving isn't automatic every time gear is added or removed from tents or vehicles.

M9SD is pants as it is so inaccurate and the ammo is rare. At the moment, in a world of duping I can live with it, but when that is fixed it will be a pain in the arse gun for sure. Even headshotting at 25m is a hit and miss affair, so you'll get through that rare ammo in no time. The G17 is at the other end of the scale. Quiet enough not to attract too many local infected, super accurate, head shots at 50m means you don't use up too much ammo and you can stay on the edge of the Zeds' hearing capability too. The built in flashlight is a bully bonus too.

Not saying anything about your good selves, but I reckon 95%++ of all high end gear is now duped. Bravo romeo oscar kilo echo november! Just fix the duping and the tents, back to such gear being as rare as rocking horse shit within days.

Thanks Caine, I assume the inventory code would fix tents too. Looks like just a server patch is required :thumbsup:

I have had that switching directly from binocs to L85 sight.

Jester, OK, this is getting confusing. I don't have any vehicles, just tents. I suspect we are saying the same thing but for the sake of clarity... In 1.7.2.4, tents would sometimes only save items if you waited for a server restart. This, everybody has figured out. The problem is that in 1.7.2.5, tents do not save anything at anytime. The old work around of waiting for a server restart does not work anymore. I have tents that have been through dozens of restarts, no change. They don't work and there there is no way, that I can see, for me to get my tents to save anything now. Jester, do you agree or have you got some tents to work?

Not anymore, tents do not work no matter how many server restarts you leave them for.

Yup, just want to add my voice to the call to have these effing tents sorted out as they are crucial to some continuity, strategy and longevity in the game. When I say sorted out, I mean that when I put something in a tent it stays there, when I take it out it is gone from the tent and when I pack a tent it does not reappear after a server restart so that no duping is possible. I think this would mean getting rid of that "Save old camping tent" command kludge. The tent should sync with the hive automatically upon interaction or a few seconds afterwards. May I also suggest, that if a player pitched a tent on a server, then they can only pitch tents on that server until all their tents are removed or they are killed and that tents are automatically and unconditionally deleted, with all the gear, within days of the players death.

Well the L85 has the NVG built in so the use of NVGs is irrelevant. More to the point, if you come across somebody in the woods at 100m, the AS50 and LA85 will probably mean your the last to shoot and the first to get shot. The M14 owns up to 600m. If you got space for two, then M14 and the 85 for all round capability as most planned engagements are still less than 500m.

With 7.2.4, when putting on a new skin, you will loose your stats. When you reconnect the stats return. When you reconnect a second time you will be killed and appear in debug land. When you reconnect a fourth time, you will spawn on the coast with all your gear and your stats as normal. What happens with 2.5, I don't know.

Tents still contain whatever gear was placed in them, duped or not. But it is now not possible to dupe new gear. Along with the ammo tracking, every bullet counts and every item is valuable once again. We will see a quick decline in high end gear as tents are looted, players killed and the effect of a limited amount of storage takes effect. I have several tents across several servers full of AS50s, LA85s, NVGs, CCO SDs, range finders, SVD, Holos, etc, etc, etc. I expect that this stuff will be looted and disappear in the next few days as it is never difficult to find a tent no matter how well hidden. The world will run short of AS50 ammo in few days too :D

Good question question. We need to be told!

I can cycle at 60kph on an old Dutch shopping bike. Eat that Brad!
