FOG server fun!

FOG!!

 

It was our guy who stole the truck but all those guys were a different group that entered town at the same time as you guys lol.

 

We only had two people with weapons when you guys drove in, Owen was driving and I was shooting you guys in the main street when you encountered that group.

I attacked you and killed one of yas when ya parked your truck north of the tower but I ran into a fukin no exit building and died when I had to run back out into the street. My partner died trying to save me right after :(.

 

Was fun we thought all of you were together initially until you started shooting them hehe.

 

On a side note two of our guys were killed by a hacker about an hour before that, they were shot through building walls, donno the name of the dude tho . And when we later went back, there was tons of loot outside one of the buildings in a huge pile. Donno if it just randomly spawned there or someone actually somehow carried all the loot of the city and piled it in one spot for some reason, but was weird .

 

Was a fun night...

 

Hope to eat you soon,

So the two guys I killed at first were just watching your guy drive the truck through the courtyard?  No guns out, no shots before I showed up, just chilling?

 

We were in the town for probably over an hour after that.  Heard no shots, saw little to no movement.

[Back Stabbath 39]

ya I guess.... donno what they were doin tbh.

 

We logged after the fight.

 

We are getting hammered by persistence...we lose anything we try to save. Donno what we are doin wrong. So we basically had two dudes with guns/ammo. When we died we had none..so its back to searching for gear.

We'd be happy to have you Kage. I'm somewhat familiar with the [FALCON] server .. Is it whitelisted? Not sure if I'm thinking of the right one.

 

Any play style that you favor is absolutely welcome on our server. Being stalked is fun -- Keeps me on my toes.  :)

 

Hope to see you around man.

Yeah, no. Im home now. This is my new favorite server. I even already have a small supply stash established.

 

You will know I am around by my in game name, Cobra Commander.

"persistence will be turned off so that people can get looted up" (admin message that appeared on screen)

 

What does this mean? Why is persistence getting turned off? I JUST started to build my little camp and its all going to go away? or what?

[Back Stabbath 39]

is persistence actually working for some people?

All private/persistence servers get wiped by BattleEye every Wednesday. This means all things in the world such as tents, backpacks, guns, everything.

 

So since there's nothing we can do to prevent this, we turn persistence off prior to the Wednesday maintenance for a few hours to allow are community a "loot period" in a sense.

 

Persistence will be back on every Wednesday morning at the end of maintenance.

 

Once persistence is truly persistent (no server maintenance wipes), we'll discontinue doing this.

Yes.. and no. It can get randomly wiped so dont count on it yet. But it does work to some degree.. just dont base your playstyle around it.

Yep.. it happened to me on a public serer yesterday.

 

The way it works I gathered is an auto shot function.. gets a headshot right there no matter what. Then the guy acts like a magnet and pulls the dead player to him.. its why you say that large loot pile. He was collecting gear.. But good news, its the first confirmed hack we have had on our server since we rented it. Bad news is hacking seems to have taken an uptick lately all across the board.

Like Blunce and Irish mentioned it does work to some degree.  From what I've gathered if you notice the server crashing it won't be long after that it wipes all the loot in an unscheduled fashion. 

 

I think I saw you in the Novo Tower last night running around collecting loot.  I saw you leave the tower, stash your orange/red drysack and then return with your leather sack.  I believe I killed you in the tower but by the time I got to where I thought the body was it was gone. 

 

Not long after that I saw a second player gathering loot in the Tower, I took a few shots and he started to crawl.  I finally got a good shot on him but I think I just knocked him out because he was laying motionless for sometime and then got back up.  I tried head shooting him again and I think I got him because I never saw him again. 

 

Later one of our guys spotted someone in the woods and shot at him believing he broke his legs.  I was able to zero in on him while he was eating a can of pasta when I let a round go into his skull.  When I checked the body it was Stabbath, for a split second I considered taking you hostage but that isn't my playstyle. 

 

Hope we see you again tonight

The other day I had 4 guys in that tower.. all dead to rights.

 

Then the damned server restarted on me... I was moving when it happend, logged back in with broken legs and ruined pants/boots.

 

Needless to say they got away.. it was fish in a barrel though until that happened. I had a ranged 200m location that had a perfect line into each East facing window. There was nothing they could have done except scatter.. but my legs had other plans. :(

[Fuerii 26]

So how does loot spawning work with persistence now? Does it respawn on resets? Are we still resetting every 2hours?

I'd appreciate any feedback. I don't want to risk visiting high value targets if they're going to be empty. My last experience with persistence taught me to not bother with military. Trying to make my game plan, thanks!

Also, Helicopter crash sites were previously invisible on persistent servers. Sounds like it was fixed but it certainly was no myth! :p

Thanks for great server

There is never a guarantee whatever base you visit is going to having decent loot.   If you're visiting Vybor base on our server, chances are we'll kill you if we're on.

 

Loot doesn't respawn on reset on persistance.  An AKM can pop up in a barrack whenever the server sees fit.  Sometimes the server goes goofy in a certain area and spits out 3 AKM's, 4 drums, 2 AK101's, 5 AK74 mags, and 3 gorka helmets in one barrack.

 

More often than not though, the high value loot is tougher to find on persistance than 'not'.  However, since we have Persistance Off Wednesdays now, it may be an opportunity for you to find some good stuff.

[FortheEnts 22]

Just started playing on this server and it looks like a dayum good one. I look forward to interacting with all of you  :)

[Fuerii 26]

I know there's never a guarantee, I'm not looking for one. Just trying to determine if loot spawning with persistence on is the same as it was in the previous version. So the issue of loot Getting concentrated into a few locations (aka Christmas buildings) has been fixed?

Somewhat, yes.. but there are still those areas. Its just easier looting all around now.. you will find things if you look

Thanks Ents, happy to have you.

[Punisher-Sir 146]

Since the persistence question keeps coming up I'm going to do my best to give a few facts.

 

Every Wednesday the Devs do a wipe to clear the servers of excess loot.  This means that ANYTHING on the ground goes away and the server starts fresh.  Any item on or in a player is uneffected so try to pick up your most important items.  Because of this we turn persistence OFF Tuesday at 08:00 pm and leave it off until Wednesday 08:00 pm Pacific Standard Time, after 08:00 pm on Wednesday the server will go back to persistence ON.  When persisitence is off for that 24 hour period the server will also be adjusted to 2 hr restarts (instead of 4 hr), this is so people get the best opportunity to get the loot which might be eluding them.

 

The way loot spawns is still a mystery to me but I know that a restart does not spawn loot when persistence is on.  I've seen Green Mountain, the Vybor Mil Base & Jail, the fire station at NWAF and a whole host of other places stuffed to the brim with loot (aka Christmas Spawns) so you'll just have to travel around and look EVERYWHERE, the loot is there sometimes it's just hard to find.

Ya. I had him go up the tower to draw your fire, I was trying to get your location. I had no scope so I was hoping to hear the gunshots, unfortunately for me your shots weren't making any noise :( . Is that a bug or can you silence them some how ?

 

  I was sayin in Mumble that I was stupid to cross that road cause I was gonna be seen, and sure enough it fucked me lmao. I swear you were shooting from that southeast maountain and I was right behind you somewhere but I didn't hear one shot, so I decided to try and get around to the north west hill.

 

We are having a super hard time finding decent loot atm (haven't found a long range scope in like a week and a half). So Im afraid it may be abit one sided until we can get set up abit.

 

Was fun anyways but abit frustrating...I would give my left nut for a fukin scope.

Hello. Been back to playing DayZ after several months away. I have been skulking around the server the past few days. Ran into one person so far. My mic was not working at the time, but I think it works now. I hope to one day actually play this game with others. Over 160 hours alone makes one a bit crazy and jumpy!

 

Unfortunately, my ping hovers around 100. Not too bad, but the zombies to do lag a bit at times. Part of it.

 

Looking forward to playing with a group sometime.

Hey Ump, thanks for using our server.

 

Would you happen to be located in Eastern America? I'm from the East Coast myself, & our server is located in Western America, so my ping is ballpark range with yours.

 

I seem to bounce between 80 & 100.

Haha I ran into her (him) earlier in the day when the server was fairly unpopulated. Approached one of those round barracks buildings at NWAF with my SKS drawn only to find Trisha standing inside apparently going through his inventory. No shots were fired and we ended up teaming up for a bit and taking my V3S to Veresnik MB. For some reason the name didn't register till after we parted ways.

Sidenote: Are radios working on this build?
