Killed my public hive character to see if OP was right. Spawned in Solnichniy, ran straight to Orlovets. Looted a bit there and then went to Polana. That is two small towns barely inland. It's not hard. Just quit the coastguard and move inland.

Definitely not. We shouldn't have our positions announced to the entire server when some kid dies and gets mad about it.

Reddit, while not the best place to interact, is still a great source to find up to date Dev messages when out and about with your phone. https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/ (edit: then again, it's also all right here if you look in the right places)

I really don't want to be a dick about it but that is essentially what they're doing, imo. The global chat that will arrive first will be temporary, as explained by the devs (you can read this on the devtracker). The devs have released images of additional hardware and info that include generators and radios that take up your backpack slot to transmit further. Good idea, no doubt, that has also has certainly been suggested before and even very likely in the works. Nearly everything needed for it is already in the game or in the process of being implemented. I also see no reason why only Green Mountain would be needed to do this. There are a number or towers a powered transmitter could broadcast from with it's range being restricted by the terrain. Green Mountain would certainly have the best range assuming the generators could power it sufficiently.

Shameful execution Tatanko. I suggest you follow a tutorial on it.

The slides need to be at least.. three times bigger. That was discussed in depth a few Status Reports ago and in a fairly long interview on Basement Nation.

That's essentially what I was saying but Hicks said I was wrong.

I was responding to the quote above. So you're going to have tents in experimental last 45 days at some point but no persistence in stable .58 at all? Maybe I completely misread the Status Report and you outlined persistence in experimental. :/

They're obviously talking about their settings in the next update. So.. um.. complain anyway if you want but they're not saying tents have been lasting for 45 days since they added them.

Having tent issues too. Placed a tent and a barrel before a restart. After that restart they were both there. I didn't check their inventory though. I placed another barrel and filled it with some gear. After the next restart both my original tent and barrel were gone. My second barrel was empty. It would have taken a small army to move all my loot and i intentionally leave junk loot in the containers which people would discard if they're going to take the tent/barrel. The loot I had dropped previously at other locations was still there but no signs of anyone throwing away my junk at my camp.

The 5000 vehicle concrete skyscraper mods will come but it won't bother me one bit as I'll be playing or modding my own ultra hardcore experience anyway. I'll pop into the kiddie mods to snipe the specials from their perches from time to time and in the end I'll benefit from having multiple experiences available to me for the price of one game.

I was laughing too hard at that point. :D

You know hoarding is bad when you watch a guy you put 3 rounds into stop to pick up his barrel before trying to run away.

Go back to youtube you nub!

Raise your hand if you never took a pop shot at a chopper in the mod, even if you only had a makarov.

I'm looking forward to the singleplayer and smaller co-op style mods that will come of this. This adds a large variety of options and gameplay for the future. This is not a bad thing.

Best of luck with that. Moving loot around hoping loot will spawn there is dumb when loot spawns differently from the mod.

Sometimes people do this to get at something underneath a bunch of junk loot or just to see what's hiding under it all.

Bumptard.

If you died five minutes after drinking a soda then you were already severely dehydrated. If we want to talk about realism then a can of coke in that situation isn't going to save your life.

A cursory googling of Eastern Europe doesn't hurt anyone.

It seems fairly obvious that this is a holiday weekend right?

Thing is, whether or not persistence is broken on some servers, persistence is still forced. That's not really up for debate at all. My tent and vehicles have survived multiple restarts.

2-3 hits to the head with a screwdriver, brass knuckles, or similar weapon and they drop but they'll get their licks in too. So either you have to learn to stealth or carry a lot of bandages and a splint.

Obviously if people could only talk to those within hearing range the game would play completely different. There is no debating this, at all. Anyone saying otherwise is full of shit. Grouping with friends would be near impossible without a plan in advance, so a camp would be required and the silly deathmatching would end almost intantly. KOS would also end. It would be KOSpeak. Unfortunately, without some type of police officer standing behind you with a taser there is little anyone could possible do to prevent it in this day and age. Of course, if that was even possible we'd all be debating whether or not we should be able to log into the same server we were on at all since running back to a location, shouting a codeword while unnaturally wiggling back and forth, grabbing a gun from a tent, and getting back to business after "dying" is just as absurd as talking to a ghost or magically communicating with your friends from hundreds of meters away. This discussion is pointless,. We live in a day and age where we cannot possibly prevent such communication and debating how the game would be different is just another tiresome waste of energy. Hell, even if they could do this, I have two more computers and two more keyboard right here and eleven and half toes. How would they stop me from using TS with a separate mic? Oh great. Way to go Steak. Now we have to loot tiny quarters from the couch cushions before we can make our calls.
