CardinalSins 11 Posted March 30, 2014 How long does stuff stay around after you dropped it?For example: say I load up a backpack full of gear and drop it in middle of a town and then leave. If I come back in an hour or two will it still be there (assuming nobody else picks it up)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Persistent objects will arrive soon enough, meaning that you will be able to drop and hide a backpack and it will stay on that server. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see that being abused by trolls for some massive lag. Edited March 30, 2014 by Chzy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CardinalSins 11 Posted March 30, 2014 persistent objects would be very cool. sure, they can be abused, but anything can be abused if you give it some thought. My primary intention is to start dumping my loot and then letting people know where it is. outcomes: 1 - I really am just dumping my gear and starting over w/o killing myself. In which case jackpot! This is likely what I'm doing 2 - I'm a jackass KOS player setting others up - dump my gear in the middle of the road near a spawn area, wait for somebody to try and collect and shoot them. Fun maybe twice, after that it would get kinda lame 3 - dump the gear, let everybody know where to find it and watch the hunger games carnage as people kill each other trying to collect. Fun all day long. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted March 30, 2014 I can see that being abused by trolls for some massive lag. Some people always tend to want to abuse things...normal people use things the way they are intended, trolls don't. If they don't want a feature that is useful to themselves and undermine it they are idiots for biting the hand feeding them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krebsy 11 Posted March 31, 2014 Suffered a ladder glitch and respawned, then ran back to where I knew my corpse was meant to be. No sign of it :(. I guess it suffered the "dead corpse, now slide off along the ground at walking pace" glitch...K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkfish (DayZ) 339 Posted March 31, 2014 Corpses are different, they disappear after 10 minutes (although some have reported this being near instantaneous - alpha). It'll all come out in the wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
