This last update broke the game for me. There was a hotfix that fixed it for my friends but still broken for me.
[QUOTE=Milkyway M16;47171903]Oh so then you always keep your gear no matter what, it's only the loot on the ground that stays persistent across servers that have persistent enabled? Does that mean that on non persistent servers you spawn in a random spot each time?[/QUOTE]
Exactly.
[QUOTE=theobod;47172569]Exactly.[/QUOTE]
Ahhhh ok, thanks!
Also another question since I just started playing: I've only had one encounter with a person so far(spawned in on an airfield, checked out a tower, got shot off the top of it from no where). Is it better to assume everyone will kill you on sight? I know it's always been a thing in DayZ and it's actually a mechanic I like a lot, you're never really safe. I'd like to think that I can trust some people but I'd also like to keep my loot. I think what I've determined is that if you stay out of military base areas, you most likely won't get shot on sight. What do you guys think is the norm?
After logging in to see how much the game changed..well at first I tried to kill a zombie. Holy shit the hit box wasn't even there unless I aimed for its shins. Or perhaps it was because the pitch fork was broken. I look forward towards later this year to see if their roadmap will be fulfilled with all that fat content.

Kill everyone you see. They're going to do the same to you. This game had absolutely no consequence for murdering everyone that you see.

From what I have seen and experinced so are most people cool if they know you had a drop on them and could have killed them but you still talked to them. If you see players before they see you, try to see how they act and decicde what to do from that.
Is the survival/crafting still just a big waste of time or has it been balanced. It's not even an issue of realism considering your hatchets would go from Pristine to Damaged after only a few trees last time I tried.
Any of you guys checked out unturned? Just played it today and it seems like a more casual dayz type game. Seems good for unwinding. Any body else played it before?

There was an Unturned thread around here a while ago, and an FP server.
It became a huge shit flinging contest because people took the game too seriously, and the server closed. I would like to see a revival of the server for 3.0, though. I really enjoyed it back then.
Joined a server, suddenly have no loot, return to main menu, yup my loot got wiped. 10/10
don't be such a bitch about it, everyone's had their shit wiped before.
i get my shit wiped with skses all the time

i need an opinion
woodland or mossy ghillie?

Mossy is too dark, go for woodland or unpainted.
[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;47189590]Mossy is too dark, go for woodland or unpainted.[/QUOTE]
didn't think I'd get the chance to try both, but found a bunch of cans and saw for myself. can confirm. i want to hide in the grass, not the bushes.
Can you not shoot through glass windows?
As far as I know DayZ has no penetration model

I read something on their devblog about firekits not working right now.
[QUOTE=Beacon;47193791]are campfires bugged on stable?[/QUOTE]
I can't get them to light, I can create the fire kit thing but won't get the option to light it.
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;47195334]I can't get them to light, I can create the fire kit thing but won't get the option to light it.[/QUOTE]
yeah, that was our problem
we scooted over to the prison in a V3S and got soaked, and spent 20 minutes trying to light a fire to dry off to no avail
thankfully wetness/cold don't actually do anything

Oh but they do, after being cold and damp for a while I got hypothermia and about 20 minutes later dropped dead.
[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;47193157]Can you not shoot through glass windows?[/QUOTE]
You can't even shoot through leaves.
[QUOTE=Wickerman123;47198145]You can't even shoot through leaves.[/QUOTE]
That is just sad.
Firekits do work. You use 5 sticks onto the fireplace kit.
[QUOTE=mib999;47198834]Firekits do work. You use 5 sticks onto the fireplace kit.[/QUOTE]
Yea, I can do that part but when I have matches in my hand I get no option to light that.

Oh really? I've been damp and cold a lot, and never experienced that.
changing clothes is the quickest way to get rid of being soaked

We do have an FP server running where not everyone is bound to kill you on sight. It's in Games In Progress.
Also I am so hyped for the V3S with cargo hold. That's going to shake up the silly truck-hunting that's been going on. I wish they'd lower the V3S spawns a bit now.
