Funny, I haven't launched steam since I purchased OA with it. You dont need to run steam to launch arma. Why waste the CPU cycles and ram on steam when you can run the game without it?

If you would like my nvg, gps, bizon SD, g17, Alice pack, camo, etc... I'll be giving it all away at 9am in the morning. That is 9 hours from now. If you think you want my stuff and will be online at that time, respond to this thread. I'll choose someone and contact you via pm to set up a meeting. I'll drop my gear at your feet and head south unarmed. Yeah, It sounds like a trap to me too. Sometimes you have to take a chance.

It went pretty well until around noon when the servers all started restarting. Shortly after that your friend and I headed to Gorka without you and came under a bit of hostile fire. Sadly he didn't make it. So goes life in Chernarus.

FTFYAdmittedly it does sound like a trap. I guess the winning poster will have to weigh the options. Take a chance and gain tons of awesome stuff and a cool story or be paranoid and get nothing. This is sort of a lot of effort on my part just to shoot some poor noob in the face. Deep down... well not really very deep down at all honestly, I'm a lazy bastard. :)

You win! HOORAY! Not because you offered your body or praised my hairy chest, but because you are clearly a new player and exactly the type I want to help out. Send me a PM and we will get together.

I've done that several times. I don't want the stuff back. I'll get new stuff. 30 minutes

You're never screwed. Running is always a valid option. Worst case, start over.

There are only a few types of buildings with working doors. Before long you will know them on sight. Learning by doing is the best way. You'll have a better experience if you stay away from the online maps and stay lost in chernarus until you can sort it out through ingame means. Immerse yourself in the world of DayZ and be rewarded by the adventure.

Starting fresh on the beach is exactly what I need. I always enjoy the struggle and the hunt. I will not be heading back to camp to rearm. That would completely defeat the purpose of this exercise. If through this I give a new player a chance to experience some top tier loot I'll be even happier. @Tops this is following a break of about 5 days. @Ammo great idea, tell Rocket. 3 hours to go...

Your first action should be to hunt for supplies and weapons. That means heading into town. But you need to understand the inventory system before you can hope to do that. If you want a walk through I'm seriously offering. Send me a PM maybe we can get on Skype or something.

I'll help. I'm bored.

I am playin with a large team. It gets old just maintaining vehicles and relocating our camp over and over.

I've gotten to the point where I have everything I want an losing it would suck so I dont take risks. Most of the fun is gathering the gear. I just want to start fresh. If I give away my gear I'll be forced to go find new stuff.

No need to be careful, just do it the right way. The inventory system is not perfect, but once you understand how it works you will stop losing items.

Bagelmunching?

Surrender animation only stays in arms up mode when you are unarmed and not moving.

Thoe??

This is not true. Many times you will find gear on zombies that do not show the circle. Hunters, cops, and military zombies in particular. Always check the gear of your kills.

When the sun sets in the east, and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves

You have NO imagination at all. It's sad really.

yeah sorry about that kick, was just not expecting anyone else to join. Had fun with you after that though.

Translation "You fool! You stole the hunting weapons from my home that I use to feed my wife and children."

The beta installer clearly warns that you can NOT uninstall a beta patch. The only way to revert is to reinstall the game

and scene....
