Sure thing, get a microphone and install vent.

Thanks for the tents, VotS. Our little empire grows slightly larger.

Did you forget that Vots boasted about his duped tent city in this very thread?

By the way, I have set up a camp of 50+ (and counting; I try to place 5 more every time I go back there) tents in the middle of nowhere. I keep all my best gear in one of those. So far, nobody seems to have found the right tent. Perhaps it's an intimidating thought to go through all

 

[villain of the story]

They all got wiped when 1.7.0 came and now, empty and inactive tents get cleaned up regularly. Don't leave your tents unmanaged for more than a couple days.

Empty tents are getting wiped after 7 days or so I read

 

[someone else]

Were the tents you gave Creamy duped?

 

[MetalCraze]

At the moment in 1.7.2 other types of clothing (Camo, Ghillie.) remove your entire inventory which will result in total unrecoverable item loss. At the moment it is a confirmed bug and the DayZ Staff are looking into fixing it within 1.7.2.1 hopefully!

Derp.

 

[Menckenstein]

If it ain't broke, don't fix it fuckin' wreck that shit.

I think empty tents that aren't interacted with suffer that treatment. If somebody does so it's 14 days.

Went out to buy myself trainers today. I forgot to buy mike again.

Were the tents you gave Creamy duped?

Yes but that doesn't matter.

 

[Menckenstein]

FFS VOTS just order one it'll get there before you remember to buy one in a store.

It was actually childishly easy to dupe tents in the older versions. I accidentally made around ten when I was furiously spamming the setup button to find an appropriate place and it glitched out or something.

 

[villain of the story]

Holy crap, the ATV burns through fuel like a Russian burns through vodka.

SHIT. I was building an arsenal for my fellow KKK'ers for the eventual Codex Hunting Club event. Got 5 FN FALs, 2 Mk48, 1 M14, 1 M107s and 1 DMR in a tent with enough ammo for all per weapon. I thought we would all gear up and fuck some serious shit up but I accidentally chose "pack tent" and everything in the tent just disappeared, except for one coyote backpack. LOL.

 

[thesoup]

When you pack tents, the stuff from it should drop where the tent was.
No worries though, I'm decently equipped. M4A3 with teh ACOG and M1911. I only have two STANAG mags so I could definitely use more. I'll scavenge some deerstands for those.
I'm not playing until they release a hotfix, though.

I'd also prefer night time hunts.

 

[villain of the story]

I'm still playing on 1.7.1.5 servers.

I helped a bro out with a blood pack when in need and he offered me a few tents later. I took them, deployed one, stashed the other in an ATV and died with the other two on me. I'm keeping the two I have left. Died twice on that debacle.

As to 1.7.2, I think the only major problems are losing your inventory when changing clothes, I lost my ghillie but my inventory was intact. I imagine the initial spawing in ocean/debug forest is the usual problem of people not matching the Arma2 beta that they have installed with version the server is running, not what it says it's running. That plus the hive was getting hammered. After several unsuccesfull attempts to connect in the initial frenzy I wated a few hours for NA to go to bed and all was fine. I've been playing it for a few days with no issues. I'm not going to change clothes though.

Another thing I've noticed is that zombies are more unpredictable but also easier. I made a video of my initial impressions. I'm going to stick with the latest patch, I already died to my own stupidity twice so I'm not too concerned about bugs at the moment.

As to that video villain, the guy is in third person, has a crosshair and doesn't know how to swivel his head. He's on a pussy server. Stopped watching at 1:44. I did get killed to ghosting once. I just avoid those places these days and raid their tents and vehicles instead, much easier.

2 months of Dayz with zero murders. If there is a leaderboard for most time spent playing without murdering I might be on it.

I think its time for me to get my scoped rifles and start shooting people. It was easier in the old days with bandits.

 

[Menckenstein]

Definitely need our hunting party.

 

[villain of the story]

Amazing. The tent I accidentally packed came back with most of the weapons back in it and the ammo.

5x FN FALs, 1x M14, 1x M107s and 1x DMR. Only the 2x Mk48s are missing.

I think entering a 1.72 server when you have 1.715 reverts you to survivor skin again. Watch out for servers that don't update their description, I went back to survivor skin, fortunately I have 4 skins in storage.
