kihz 83 Posted March 21, 2014 Lol, I love the internet. Someone makes a post about a biblical book in-game having a feature that potentially despawns your gear. Says nothing about being religious or atheist. Posters come and turn it into a religious vs. atheist thread. Every. Single. Time. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MachetteSawn OffFNXBible If it despawns my backpack I might wait a patch though... Role playing is fun, but that particular one seems faulted. No primary weapon. (I understand why, but it seems you're gonna die pretty quick if you get into an engagement.) Edited March 21, 2014 by Kihz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Window Licker 504 Posted March 21, 2014 Well let me start out by explaining the situation. I have a superstition about bibles ingame due to a few past experiences about them being good luck.I found a blue King James Bible : Book 18 Book of Job. Picked it up and stuck it in my backpack , thought nothing of it.Played around for about 45minutes. Logged out. Everythings gravy. Logged in the next day. Backpack is completely missing. Wut?Chalked it up to either "Its alpha" or somehow I was an idiot and dropped it as I was logging out (Yeah right).So went around and grabbed a new backpack and replaced the missing contents. Rolled around through svelto killed some bandits torturing a bambi. Alls good. Looting one of the bandits bodies I see another Blue King James Bible. So I thought what the hey , and grabbed it again. Stuck in my newish backpack and proceeded on my way. Played for another 20 mins , got bored and logged out. Log in Yesterday. WuuuuuuuT!? My backpacks gone again....Rattled my brain for about 30minutes figuring out how the hell this was possible.Came to the conclusion It had to be that blue bible... So I proceeded on a quest to find another. Find one in the study of the piano house in berenzino.Tried it again. Logged out. Waited 20minutes. Logged back in. What do you know? No fucking backpack. So bewarned. Those blue bibles are cursed. :/As a matter of curiosity, do you know what happens in the book of job? it's been a bloody long time but the gist of it is bad thing's happen to him... a lot of bad things, so working as intended, Easter egg from the dev team.

sabaka (DayZ) 70 Posted March 21, 2014 Lol, I love the internet. Someone makes a post about a biblical book in-game having a feature that potentially despawns your gear. Says nothing about being religious or atheist. Posters come and turn it into a religious vs. atheist thread. Every. Single. Time. And, as per usual, it's the atheist camp, first posting about "shitting inside of churches" and then when someone points out that that just makes him sound like an idiot responding that anyone who believes anything different from themselves is "making an ass of himself" and lacks any "semblance of human reasoning" and using "kid" as an insult, despite the fact that the majority of internet superhero vocal atheists are between 15 and 19 years old. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just silly that there can't be a thread about a religious item without fuckheads hijacking it. Religious debate should be banned from the DayZ General Discussion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl 986 Posted March 21, 2014 You're an atheist but you believe in karma?Nah just hoping against better judgement I'm wrong, turns out superstition doesn't help you survive any better than without it...which I guess I already knew. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makomachine 263 Posted March 21, 2014 Back on topic.... Did the OP confirm this occurs only with backpacks - or does it also happen in pants and vests? Might have to do some testing here myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lotus503 42 Posted March 21, 2014 We all have beliefs, some of them religious, some cultural, social or personal?While I am an athiest I see no reason to piss on someone elses path to happiness\peace. That said, its troubling that books are playing out in game, I think I am going to find a copy of moby dick and go play in the water and see what happens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreypa 98 Posted March 21, 2014 Well, yeah I meant now.. LOL. Like maybe its a new bug thats happening to you and not the bible? Either way, let us know.. then we call all science to see if the bible makes material items disappear! ;) Control test complete. No Book of Job , my backpack remained upon logging in.Can someone else please test this to confirm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makomachine 263 Posted March 21, 2014 Control test complete.

Dreypa 98 Posted March 21, 2014 Back on topic.... Did the OP confirm this occurs only with backpacks - or does it also happen in pants and vests? Might have to do some testing here myself. As far as i've seen its been only backpacks. But thats also the only place I've stored it. Your more then welcome to help test with pants / vest / shirt though ;)Where exactly are you finding this book? I'll try it tonight and report back if I can locate it.I found the best place for books are piano houses studies, as they usually have between 3-5 inside of them. The first I found in Vybor , the second on a bandits body, the third in a piano house in main street berenzino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
