ya i don't think people realize that is a bug. You can put ANY gun into your backpack. If it doesn't work, it is glitching out on you probably due to the gun being spawned in, or possibly the backpack.

I don't know if anybody said this yet, but the guy is correct. People have all the top end gear because it's spawned in. What rocket needs to do is reset everybodies stats, all the vehicles, tents,servers, etc. Battleye has picked up on banning hackers so now would be the time to do this. Once they did this, you would see how crappy the spawns are. You would see more people with just normal ak's, m16s, lee enfields, etc. The problem still lays in server hopping to get a better chance at a weapon. If you make a trip to the airfield on a low pop server, it is SOOOOO easy to get geared up. The hardest items to still get would be a coyote backpack, NVG, range finders, as50, l85, etc. Any m4, ak, pistol variant will be easy still. I have yet to find NVG or RF at the airfield. I only find them off of players, who probably got them spawned in. This is why it's best to play with friends. It only takes 1 geared person and a few others with just ak's to get geared up. Heck I had an Ak and alice pack, killed a guy in cherno and got m16, DMR, NVG, RF, coyote backpack, etc etc. My point about the server hopping is, if you take that away, people will have a much harder time finding gear.

I don't understand why you posted...Are you trying to argue semantics with me or something? Bobdole: ....You realize once you have gear all that is left is PVP, correct? This game has no actual endgame, which is what makes this game, well, boring after awhile. I also did an edit to say that when I go to Elektro, I don't kill people that I don't gain anything from, but for some reason it didn't save, even though it says I edited the post..Anyways, not everybody kills noobs. Why would I give away my position if I can't loot anything off the player? In elektro I generally go for CQcombat, but still have a sniper rifle on me just in case. Lee enfield only takes one shot to knock somebody out. So if I see a noob running around with one, you bet your ass I will shoot him. If somebody is carrying a hatchet, I tell them to run away from me. If they still come at me, of course I will shoot him/her. It just sounds like you got butthurt in Elektro a lot so you come on the forums to try and talk shit to people who want to play the game that they PAID FOR their own way. Sorry not everybody wants to run 15-20minutes to stary just to get killed by some hacker or some bush wookie with a spawned in as50.

I don't think it's 5 minutes, but 3 minutes. If it is 5 minutes, it sure as heck doesn't seem that long, lol. Either way what the people above are saying is true. If you log out in shock, you will be unconscious when you log back in. HOWEVER, there are times where you won't be in shock, but it will still happen. It may be after the shock wears off and you reconnect, it still might. It's weird.

Has to be the most common response in this forum. I Guess people are too dumb to realize that if people are too scared to go fight people with "gear", then they go to elektro. You realize if that is true, there are going to be people in Elektro with gear since they are too afraid to go to Stary. Plenty of geared players go to Elektro and Cherno. Why? Because it's near the coast and if you die you don't have to run 7k meters to get back to their gear to only find out it's hidden. So no, it's not that people are afraid..It's just people like you are too dumb to understand that. So, good day sir.

Are you familiar with the old robot term, "Does not compute"? And NVG are not one of the more common items. If they are it is because they are spawned in.

Nice job, pussy. D/c because you couldn't see me or kill me...You're good :)...Better change your name or I will just keep following you.

We didn't snipe anybody lol. And this isn't a QQ, it's a challenge.

Ya not sure why you would kill everybody else...Why wouldn't you just spawn your items back in for you?

I don't get where you guys try and find your facts about what happens when you pick up an LMG.I promise you that you can put it in your backpack. I have had 3 guns, one being an :LMG on me. One in my primary, and two in my bag. It is just a bug and it has happened to my friend also. It probably was a spawned gun and it is bugging out on you. If you pick up a new backpack and it still doesn't work, you either need to leave it or deal with no backpack. It is not intended for that to happen. It is a legit gun though.

I must say...Rocket....I won't say your game is bugless or suck your dick, but man you are hilarious. Keep going man. Least you actually stay on the forums even if it is to troll. Bandit skins looked horrible anyways and caused to many bugs like losing your gear when it would go from bandit to civil clothing after you died.

How is that not a bug if his hourglass doesn't move? As far as I know the longest timer is 3 minutes or so? If it doesn't even move, then yes it's a bug.

If you can get it with an entrenching tool, then it shouldn't take any time. I LOVE the idea of being able to use that to dig up bodies and I hate that you can't, but if it takes you 20seconds or so to hide a body, it better take you a little bit to dig it up again.

It's called brainwashing...

You also couldn't carry around an m24, backpack fully loaded, and sprint 7 miles and lay down and be okay...What is your point?You can't always have to lay down with a .50cal because of the grass in this game. The gun would be to limited due to sight.. And imagine a helicopter came in... You can't aim high enough if you are laying down. If you can't have a backpack when carrying a .50cal, where are you going to keep your ammo, genius? As I said in a previous post. Make the .50cal two shoot for waste and below, and one shot for above. Should be the same way with any sniper. Maybe slow down the firing rate of the as50 as trying to shoot a .50cal that fast, I would only imagine your shoulder would be FUCKED up.

It's like hunting for Bigfoot. Patience...

i could only imagine if you waited near a pond and somebody came running up and you popped up to kill them...You know they would freak out. Please do that and record.

Anybody can get a hacked weapon the same way another person can. It's just about luck. When I run into hackers and they offer to give me something, i generally ask for an m4a1 cco sd and as50. I don't bother with the hacked guns. If I run across an ammo crate, I take an m4a3 cco and as50. Shit happens. There are so many hacked weapons in this game atm. I don't care if I get banned from a server for having a hacked gun. I know battle eye won't ban me because I didn't spawn it.

Doesn't matter..Not his fault somebody left it. I found an ammo crate with every gun possible, but of course just died to another hacker :(

I have had to update to 1.7.2.5 about 5 times now. Every time I take a break for a few hours, it reverts back to 1.7.2.4 and I have to reupdate. I tried completely removing DAYZ from the folders and re installed with 6 launcher. It worked fine, but now it's back to 1.7.2.4. Does anybody have a fix for this? I have tried manually adding the files Rocket put in the thread, but still no luck.

Absolutely right dotjosh. I figured that out today after having to re update again. I finally decided to update with Dayz Commander, not use 6 launcher, and only launch from the "beta launch" in our dayz folder. it stays on 1.7.2.5 everytime.

Works fine for me truthfully. Make sure you have the latest version of Dayz commander. Stop using 6 launcher. Once you updated with dayz commander, use the beta launch in your dayz folder and only use that. I found that using that launcher doesn't downgrade back to 1.2.7.4(a problem I was having). If that doesn't work, http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/67383-hotfix-build-1725-rolling-update/ download that and put them in your @Dayz/Expansion folder(double check this to make sure I am correct)

You realize how impossible it is to shoot a sprinting target in the head? It's a military simulator. Truthfully, any sniper in this game should be one shot. The as50 is a 50cal and I promise you if you shot somebody in the leg with a 50cal, their hole leg is GONE. On the other hand, anything below the waste should be two shots and waste up is one shot, even with the as50. M24, DMR, and such should be one shot knock out and two shots to kill, unless in the head.

I use a 100g weight for mine. Fits right on the W.

People want to bitch about ghosting, but most of the people do it. If you spawn in on the building with the two blue things on it that has a bridge connected to the sniper building with the 3 yellow pipes, how is it your fault if somebody is there? It is no different than if you spawned on the beach, and got killed by a sniper. And as far as I know, that isn't an exploit..It is just a dick move. If you want to say ghosting as in, people who find somebody, can't get to them, leave the server, join a new, run to their spot, and THEN spawn in behind, okay fine. But where can you draw the line on what is considered ghosting? People just need to be on their toes. I log out on the top of the building with the blue cylinders and when I join the game next, I am in the same spot, but I don't go around looking for people and leaving the server to kill them. And the same can happen to you.
