Fresh spawned into a PVP server during peak hour - Oh my !
Had been in game about 20 minutes and was lucky enough to find an Axe in the first shed I came to in Turovo.
As I was coming out of a house an unseen player decided he was going to kill me with his silenced pistol , I here enough of the shot to know its .45cal -1st shot hits me, and I immediately run, zigzagging like my life depended on it, looking for a place to get any sort of advantage, I see him behind me, not very well geared and as we are on the coast I bet my life on the fact he must have a 1911 (7 round mag) not an FNX45 (15 round mag) I here 3 more shots and bullets wiz past me as I reach a bus, I stop at the far end of the bus and pull out my Axe lol - He fires 2 more shots at me as we play hide and seek around the bus, the whole time I'm bleeding to death
He then goes prone and fires a single shot under the bus at my feet - (7 round mag) As he is reloading I run around the bus and well, this is the result :wink:
Unfortunately I bled out from the gunshot but I got the job done first
Ok have not ran or shot anyone in a few days so going better, I did have a hard time figuring out what server base was at lol, and I did use a green barrel as did not find my blue one till much after I emptied out.
Green barrel, pristine plate vest set and there in attachable pouches in pristine too, available for anyone
Seems like we are going to need to remove some barrels/tents until they fix the desync issue.
Maybe just keep the big tent and two barrels?
I filled up the blue barrel furthest from camp with an M4A1 that needs repaired, 400-ish rounds of ammo, an acog, two red dot sights, a glow plug, 4 pieces of netting, two yellow boxes(one of which has an 8 slot jacket, and maybe something else I am not remembering.
Squad question ... Did anyone take the gear Tet described earlier as was not there when me an karma relocated the tent to babieland server, soon to be relocated, Barrels are still there just facing where tent was to the left and up 40 ft.
So I've had a thought while I am at work. Can somebody try to set a barrel down in the middle of a pond to see if it is visible? If not visible can you still access the inventory? And by pond I mean somewhere deep enough with green water where you are forced to swim. If you walk into it the barrel should drop the moment you have to start swimming. If we can hide stuff like that(at the dam for example) we can put things all over the map much easier.
Can't edit tent names on DayZ TV but it does say tent 1, tent 2, ect. Could place lots of stuff then leave descriptions in the notes for server/tent number.
great idea Tet - use barrels at Way Points etc. Nice
SQUAD VOTE
Do we want (A) All 3 Squad tents on 3 different servers OR (B) All 3 Squad tents on 1 server ?
Note: If Wednesday night Global Restarts will wipe Tents we need to nominate a squad member to each tent to pack it up Tuesday night - Grab your goodies out of tent before then.
I have 2 tents with me at the moment, 1 Truck Tent and 1 Military Tent So need to know where we want them and who wants to come get one asap lol
I tried out 2 tents side by side - NO desync issues So its definitely the barrels, as the forums say, so please NO barrels any where near Squad tents gents
Did you try the tents while they were full of gear? That might be a better test. Doesn't matter to me how many on one server. Also I can be pretty unreliable with playtime due to family needs so you'll have to count me out since I will have to be checking on my own tent as well.
As far as barrels I have not heard if a single barrel by itself causes any desync issues. Even if barrels can't be stuck under water green barrels may sort of blend in if you put them right up against pine trees.
Everything that I have read on the forums that cause the lag issues around barrels and sticking containers within containers...so backpacks...ammo containers...etc...INSIDE a barrel will cause the desync/lag issue. So, the only thing that should go in barrels are things that are NON-CONTAINERS.
