It would never work because squads would have 1 guy with PVP turned off running around scouting before they moved anywhere. Would you want some idiot with pvp turned off chasing you around giving call outs to his clan? I sure as hell don't.

Hilarious. The helicopter one, I've actually done that.

I am a bandit and I shoot bandits on site. Yes, I have been killed. In all honesty, if someone wants to shoot you then it doesn't matter what skin you are wearing.

Show me where the I complained about dying. I think you are being a bit moronic here and taking other people's words and putting them in my mouth. Brother, I'm a straight up bandit and at no time did I complain about dying. I'm the one that does that killing. So how about you do me a favour and get your facts straight before spreading verbal diarrhea all over my monitor screen. What I don't like is self righteous idiots that think their way is the ONLY way to play a game. If people want to be nice, that's their choice. If people want to say "friendly" yet shoot you in the back, that is also their choice. I won't take those choices away from them, even if I don't agree with them. "Maybe I just like winning"... Mate, I doubt you have ever won... anything!

What a moron. How is he going to enjoy his swim if you shoot him in the head?

But we are talking about stand alone.

Morally upstanding? You said there is a 15 man para-military clan and we should attack them. So a 15 man clan, on their own server with admin rights and probably every vehicle on the map also. That sounds like a lot of fun...

Ural's destroy trees. Absolutely mulches them.

I hope your clan have stopped their admin abusing ways. On topic : It does pay to be a bandit most of the time. I once had 3 *clowns* try to get the drop on me on a Lingor Island server. Luckily, they were better at trash talking and cheating than actually killing people. 2 hours on a Lingor Island server and I wiped out a 3 man group took their car and then found their camp.

Who made you the authority on what is fun to do in a video game? In fact you sound like you are 12 or more likely a teenager that thinks he is all grown up. Well, you reek of immaturity.

I actually like this concept. It could do with a bit of tweaking but there is no reason some thing like this could not be implemented in the stand alone. It may actually make the hero/bandit skins worth while. In all honesty the only times I am ever not wearing camo clothing/ghillie is when I am a fresh spawn or when I think I am going on a one way mission. So in the grand scheme of things the skins mean absolutely nothing to me. At the moment the hero skin is completely worthless. 2 friends can easily keep hero skins yet be hostile to any other random player on the map. Haha... been sending too many e-mails at work. I was about to sign this e-mail with my real name....

Kidnapping is hilarious. As a test, I started kidnapping people and then Gladiator style asked the entire server or side chat whether he should live or die.. If they said die then I would shoot but if they said live, I would give the guy all of my gear and see what his reaction would be to having an unarmed defence player in front of him (An unarmed player that just kidnapped him and threatened to kill him, mind you). Most of the time the server decided to let them live, ironically not all of those players let me live but that was the point in the experiment.

MK48... No doubt about it. I've destroyed so many people with that weapon.

I'm glad the admin saw sense an unbanned you. But he really shouldn't be hoarding all the vehicles being a server admin and all. Since he has an unfair for advantage for finding the vehicles in the first place.

I run in a pack of one... I may check this out later tonight. I've yet to have 1 good experience on Taviana but I think this is more a server/hacker based issue than to do with the actual map. Even if I do hate the barracks like buildings that you can't get inside.

I think a lot of it is just common sense. Some times being slow and steady is the way to go, other times you just have to throw caution to the wind and attack. The amount of times that I have charged someone and killed them while my friend is trying to talk me out of it, is unbelieveable. Misdirection is a powerful tool, yet most people don't seem to use this tactic effectively. People can be so idiotic in this game, shoot in their general direction and they will hide like a scared little bunny rabbit.

Coming from a clan that abuses admin privileges then nothing would surprise me.

I think the biggest over all flaw in dayz the mod or the stand alone is that there is very little end game. Which is fine by me, but what is not fine by me is that you make your own end game, say stockpiling weapons for example and there is absolutely NO way to keep them safe. Vehicles can be spotted from miles away and either stolen or blown up and tents are no better. I understood there was talk of underground bases, in my opinion the stand alone must implement something like. If all else fails some kind of small inventory system like WarZ, which I'd be loath to see as it would ruin immersion. Since I mostly play by myself and when I do play, it's only maybe a couple of times a week but for quite long periods of time then it is absolutely impossible for me to protect my gear. The gear that I spend alot of time and effort collecting so that I can reduce down time after getting killed. Which I don't think is a bad thing... But every bloody time I make a camp, it get's raided or utterly destroyed. Which makes the entire process of collecting extra loot completely pointless. I'll admit that it's made me quite bitter to the dayz mod and I've taken the gloves off now. If I don't get to enjoy my end game then no one else on the server I play on are going to enjoy theirs. Every single person I see from now on is going to be sent packing to the "you are dead" screen. Absolutely no exceptions.

So I'm guessing that there will be no more holidays to Greece.

I'm not wrong because it's my opinion. If you want to run around Cherno and Electro then be my guest. But since this game is a SURVIVAL based horror game then I would think the best way to gear up would be the way that you had the best chance to survive. Living on top of the hospital roof? That sounds like a lot of fun...

In all honesty... You should have got the hell out of Electro. Cherno/Electro is not a good place to be, epsecially when you are well geared. I understand you were teleported there, but in all honesty the bus just isn't worth the effort. That bus is a giant slow moving target anyway. Berezino is the only city that I will ever go in when I have good gear and even then it's only every lightning raids. Usually for hospital supplies. Don't trust people or if you are going to help them out then always make sure you are in a position of power over them. Like maybe getting them to put their weapon on the ground. If they don't then shoot them or get away from them as they probably have nefarious intentions.

My first kills were actually a multi-kill. I was heading to Stary to loot the camps with a friend and after sweeping the tree lines for snipers, we were coming down the back wooded hill next to the tents at this point I was rather careless as I was certain there were no snipers in the area. Only to hear my friend shouting over TS that 2 people just went into the tents. This was the first occasion I had even seen another player, before I realised what was even happening I told my friend that I was engaging, I had an M14 Aim. I killed the first before he even knew what was happening, the second guy jumped up on to the air conditioning vents behind one of the tents. He got anhilated swiftly without either firing a shot. I left their bodies as I was feeling quite bad about KOS without any provocation. We decided to vacate Stary heading North through the little copse of trees. But by this point my friend was lagging behind so I jumped into a bush to wait for him, just as he caught up with me some random came charging out of the bushes and killed my friend only to receive a headshot for his insolence. By this point the polygons were eating my screen up and I could barely see. I headed west to stay by the wall and hopefully have some cover and concealment while waiting for my friend to return. 20 minutes passed and I had tabbed out briefly, when I tabbed back I caught a glimpse of something moving. Again, the screen glitches were making it very hard to distinguish. Then I realised what it was I was looking at, a guy slow crawling to the copse of trees where my friend and the insolent one died. I stood up and charged across the field and caught up with him, he had no idea I was practically on top of him until I unloaded into his back. I decided discretion was the better course of valour and headed north into the tree line, as now I knew that there was atleast 4 people heading back to Stary for their corpses and anyone in the area had probably heard my shenanigans. One of the lucky devils I killed had obviously stumbled across a bike, I engaged but the distance was too great for my noobish skills at that time. He had hidden my friends body and looted his own. Either way, it was a clear victory on my part.
