Very annoying bug, needs fix ASAP

[Just Caused 423]

Hey, I just wanted to ask you guys, do you encounter dead body that can't be accessed? For me, this is game breaking bug, and I think devs should hotfix it ASAP in this version of stable ( not to wait another stable to come out to get this bug fixed ). Imagine going through s*it-ton of gunfights, and then when you come to pick up your award, you can't use dead body's inventory. This usually happens on steep terrain, and relogging doesn't do anything, except it just shows you body a little bit downhill, but still can't be accessed. 

 

I know this is not feedback forums or anything, I haven't reported it yet because I don't have time to post bug report ( since I have bad past experience with dev support on feedback forum ) and I am sure it's somewhere there in archive. I just wanted to make this thread to politely ask devs to take care of this bug, since it's really annoying and game-breaking. ( Not to mention that I lost couple of SVDs, FALs and fully customized AKMs and a lot of clothing due to this bug )

It's annoying. 

 

Not game breaking.

My heart weeps for the loss of your "well-earned" gear.....

 

/sarcasm What is that saying again? " Don't get attached to your gear?" Oh, yeah...

 

 This doesn't need instant fixing. Know what needs "fixing"? Most of the architecture of the game. Get to bug reporting in the meantime.

gutting a body should throw all gear onto the ground for just this type of reason 

[Etherious 907]

Yea, no. You're request isn't going to happen. This bug has been in DayZ since they introduced physics. They will not fix it until the new physics, and player controller systems come in.

Yeah this bug is total bullshit and honestly the one that annoys me most right now.  I don't even care about gear (basically never use any mil gear, hardly ever even have a backpack, just play to fuck around), but not being able to loot bodies is a load of shit.  I had a body today, in an open flat field I couldn't loot:  

He'd just come from a heli crash, sure would have been nice to see what he got off it.

Usually it's reserved for sliding bodies on hills but it's just gotten worse.

 

And this patch is worse than most of the previous patches even for hill bodies.  I'd say a good 50% if being generous (probably more like 75% in reality) of bodies you can't loot right now.  I don't think it was even this bad when ragdolls were introduced, as I recall their gun would stay in the spot they dropped and you could loot off that.  Not any more.  Some how they'ved fucked it up even harder.

 

Is that game breaking?  No.  But it's pretty fucking bad.  People can say whatever they want but pvp is still the majority of the game, and looting players is a huge part of that.

 

Also, I hate ragdolls forever and wish they'd never put them in.

Yep, I agree with this.

There's worse bugs then this that should be adressed, I would rather not be able to loot a body instead of dying when walking down some stairs

I wouldn't.  Because I could die walking down some stairs and then not be able to loot my own body.

 

And dying from walking down stairs happens like 1/10000th of the time, where as not being able to loot bodies happens the majority of the time.

 

 

Regardless of that it's not an either or thing any ways.

If the servers more laggy the higher the chance, it's happened to me and my friends 3 times the past week. And depending on where your body is it would have despawned by the time you got back

Well, they're not gonna be fixing either of those bugs anytime soon, no matter what we say or how pissed y'all get.

Doesn't cutting dead human just make body dissappear, taking all inventory to Dean Hall's secret chambers?

He is saying that is what it SHOULD do. Not that that is what it does.

[Reg Park 160]

yes it's annoying bug -- and when bodies disappear after 10 mins, all the gear should drop off the body automatically and stay there for at least additional 10 mins, just my opinion.

[eno 1049]

I haven't reported it yet because I don't have time to post bug report 

 

I'm sure they'll get right on it when they have time.

Yeah but it's fun to vent =P

[Killawife 599]

Not game-breaking, just annoying. It'll get fixed during Beta for sure. Its not like gear is hard to come by.

The only bugs I encountered while playing yesterday was items not being pickupable, legs breaking in the police station and some lag and desync. The sight is weird on the mp5 also but the game is pretty playable.

This is why real men duel in the plain and do not ambush in the hills.  :D
