jdz (DayZ)

I think this really needs to be addressed. Recently my friends found a server that you can buy bases, starter gear and vehicles on. This is fucking ridiculous. Today my friends decided to attack a base we'd found, they have a gas station, helicopters,Urals and even BARRACKS! Does this not completely defeat the purpose of the game? Shit yeah it does! Their members are all geared to the teeth, obviously. We killed one guy who had 6 range finders and 6 pairs of night vision goggles on him... There are also rules that surround these bases, you aren't allowed to destroy the base or vehicles, you're not allowed to take any of the vehicles. The starter gear is pretty messed up as well, if you pay $60 you can spawn with - 60 - Supreme package: Weapons: M14 aim - 3 Mags M9SD - 4 Mags Inventory: Cooked Steak 2 Water Bottle's Range Finder Night Vision Goggles Map Compass Watch Military flashlight Hatchet Matches Medical Supplies: 4 Bandages 1 Painkillers 2 Morphine 1 Bloodbag Backpack: Alice Backpack Extra items inside of backpack: 1 Painkiller 1 Morhpine 1 Epinephrine 1 Heatpack 3 Cooked Steak 2 Water Bottles 2 Pepsi Something seriously needs to be done about this... Here's their website http://www.dayzbonfire.net/index.php

Wut? No shit I don't need to play on the server :/ The point I was making is how it totally defeats the purpose of the game, not wether or not I need to play on it

That's not really the point I was making

It is amusing them trying to justify it

Yup, they do

There's no point in playing though... Food and drink spawns at the barracks and you have an unlimited amount of equipment. Why even play?

Derp, accidently made two threads.... Can this one please be removed or locked?

Someone shooting at my friends, It felt sooo good!

I got a 1km kill with the M24 the other day. Do you know how fucking hard that is? I didn't even have a range finder, I took one shot ranging for 800 and saw it land short so I aimed two mildots high and landed the second and got the kill. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty stoked

I love Chernarus but Celle is where it's at now, it is great.

Lol, why the fuck would someone be so stupid to add Apaches in? Fuck that, move server

There are a lot admins that don't do this and I want to do a shout out to them!

People seem to be confusing snipers with kids spamming semi auto rifles, again

I'm posting off my phone so I am unable to view that image properly but I think we have similar specs. Unfortunately ArmA just runs poorly even on super computers. You will really just need a new computer for it to run well, I'm constantly dropping down to 12-15 FPS but there's nothing you can do about it, even after trying all of the tweaks

You might want to state where you are from, you don't want people from Antartica applying when your server is hosted in Greenland

Have you not seen the other ones though? I've found insane loot on other crashes that aren't on fire

This is exactly why I think helicopters should be removed completely, flyable and crashed. Far to much depends on a server restarts and having a helicopter and being in when a server is restarted means you are able to loot all 5 crashes within 20-30 minutes, taking all of the good stuff for yourself and no one else is even going to stand a chance at getting anything

Griff, our overlord and forum master, actually bought ArmA2 for me because I was already super keen on giving it a go. I played a bit before DayZ but no where near as much as I do now. I love the game though, fucking awesome and underrated as an MP game

Don't even bother with Public hives. Find a well established community with adult admins and you'll be fine. I've only ever experienced a small amount of admin abuse and that is when they banned my whole group because they got sick of us killing them even though they were duping fuckwits (Ice from GloVine, AU4)

I'd say you made the right choice, it's what I would have done. The M14 is super accurate, powerful and versatile and when you really need to reach out and touch somebody you have the AS50. Perfect combo, IMO

Magazines. But the G36 and STANAG magazines can be used in both gun variants. Example, STANAG mags can be used in G36s and G36 mags can be used in M4s and M16s

I think the issue is frequency, they just become so incredibly annoying when you get 5 or more in 10 minutes. Oh and they don't spawn off players, I was driving around in a UAZ with only myself on the server and I heard them several times

I do think the frequency of them needs to be dropped, I'm coming across them every 5 minutes and it is quite frustrating.

I've stumbled upon more in the forest than military areas, I've had one at the Seraja army base and 5-6 in random forests

The bloodsuckers are awesome, I came across 7 whilst my friends only came across two haha. As for the EVR, I don't mind it at all. DayZ was become ridiculously easy anyway and these two features bring back that old school DayZ feel
