Items dissapearing when dropped
Assigned, HighPublic

Description

Pretty frustrated as yet another item dissapears.

Steps:

  1. Dropped the magazine for the gun on the ground
  2. Tapped A in my inventory to switch the gun for the magazine.
  3. Nothing occured (can't pickup item)
  4. Attempted to pick up item with other items equipped.
  5. Attempted to "drag" into my hands.
  6. Attempted to "drag" into my inventory.
  7. Attempted to tap x to place directly into my inventory.
  8. Left the game
  9. Rejoined the game to find both gun and mag missing.

This occurs with other things as well.

I have lost items to them being unable to be picked up inside all types of storage except your own inventory.

Tents, barrels, chests, cars, all make items impossible to pick up. It happens more often when you have multiple people around the storage box. It also happens more frequently when you log in near the storage.

I try to pick up items that will not allow me to pick them up. It's like they don't really exist.

If I find a gun for instance, I go to pick it up and can't.

I have had the experience where I was starving and found a Can of spaghetti but was once again unable to pick it up off the counter... I died.

Items also get stuck inside zombies. Kill a zombie, run over, check their inventory, see a sprite.... can't pick it up.

People refer to this as items being "bugged".

Additional Information

Looting in Dayz is a main feature of the game. Combat has to come second to looting as you need items in order to have a firefight. If I can't store items, what is the point of a base? I have become terrified of dropping items now.
