im about to commit zed suicide.

[slartibartfast (DayZ) 77]

Ok. I have suffered the ghillie/camo suit glitch.

I was wearing some very fetching camo and entering a 'camp area' on one of the 'closing down' servers.

Being a little suspicious, I decided to don my ghillie suit and belly snake in. I removed my pack and proceeded to apply the ghillie suit.

After a couple of seconds of zipping and unzipping, I was a shrubbery. With a new, empty pack.

Ok, time to drop this duped replacement and pick up my........DOH!

It was gone. My pack that I had carefully placed on the ground in the hope of avoiding the bug had done a Lord Lucan on me.

No worries. I would soon be filling my shiny new, but empty one at the camp.

Nek minnit......no camp! - {sigh}

Putting my disappointment behind me - remembering that we shouldn't get too attached to gear - I moved on.

Thing is, I have lost my civvies and my camo kit and am stuck as shrubbery. And we all know the immediate action drill if you see a Yucca moving toward you.

I have been camping my favourite flats and civilian spawn sites in the hope of getting some new camo, at least. Alas to no avail.

It has been a week of being a hermit and getting a little dull.

I have decided to throw myself under a zed train.

I have picked a quite spot. Close to the centre map spawn points, in the hope that I strike it lucky.

My questions though.

How long will my zombie smorgasbord body remain after my death?

And....

How much of my gear can I expect to recover?

I assume that I will be the first survivor to get to my remains.

You should be able to run back to your body and get what ever items you had on it. I once died at the north west air field so i ran from Cherno up to the airfield and took all my old gear the only thing i couldn't take was my ghillie. Your body will stay where it is until the server restarts :)

Excellent.

Thanks for the quick, informative response. Have some beans.

Too bad you can't just OD on morphine. Good luck.

I've found that gently setting my pack down is a 50/50 proposition.

LOL, OD on morphine, what a great idea to implement actually ^^

I do NOT drop my pack when I switch from camo to ghillie.. I just switch it.

I have yet to have an issue with losing anything.

I did try with the pain killers - hoping for some kind of psychedelic, trippy, 'chase the dragon' run through cherno to my inevitable death.

Alas no such luck.

Can't wait to see how many zeds I can pull tonight.

Here comes the zed train, choo choo!

As long as I get my glock back then ill be happy. And restocking meds should be a dawdle. It is hard enough convincing people that I am a loner EMT. Without the ghillie suit covering my hero skin this would definitely be easier.

Well done. Obviously your skills in changing suits is much higher than mine.

So did you died? ;D

[svenbreakfast 231]

lol medic in a ghillie...i dunno how I'd feel about that. I traded a mate for his civie clothes just for that reason (bag ate my civies).

Yup I definitely know that feeling. Hence my soon to be death by zed train. ;)
