Yesterday i was a sitting duck in a Sniper-Turfwar, i was hiding in a bush on sniper hill, Elektro while atleast 3 snipers were shooting eachother, at one point some dude bolts past me and i take him down with a short burst from my MK 48 Mod0. Instant-Karma struck since that burst of fire had given away my position to the snipers. They made me more aerodynamic by putting some holes into me.

Fix'd ^^ But that's a real nice idea on how to find where you are. @OP If you play on a server that just had sunrise or sunset, you can find where East/West is by looking at the sun, the servers run in real time and the sun, just like in the real world, rises in the East and goes down in the West. If i'm past Stary Sobor and have no compas, i like to play around Dawn so it's still slightly dark, but thanks to the rising sun i have a constant reminder where East is, it only works for a certain amount of hours though, as soon as it hits 12:00 on the server, the sun will be in the dead-south and then wander towards west.

It's that time of the day again people! STORY TIME! Event 10 Today i was recording for my let's play and all sorts of bad shit happened to me, what that is? Go watch it :D. After i was done recording i was driving my half-broken bike away from Novy, trying to get towards the coast, i was armed with a ghilly suit, an MK 48 Mod 0 and some other rad gear. On my way to the coast i was getting shot at by a sniper, i instantly drove my bike down a slope and rammed it into a fence, hiding in a barn and logging out. After i rejoined the server a few hours later, my bike was still there and still in OK shape, so i ventured towards Mogilevka to get some parts to fix it, what would you know, i found some tires and fixed my bike up. I was back on track towards the coast, but that's when everything went haywire. I left my bike in a bush on the hill north of elektro and moved towards the town, all of a sudden i hear sniper fire, there was a camper-turfwar going on, 3 snipers have been lead-ing it out all across Elektro, one on the North-east hill where i was, one on the North-west hill and the 3rd on the West Firestation. This attracted lot's of people in the Side-chat. I was telling the rest of Cherna what was going on, how many people, how many shots fired and approx. where from. I felt like a Host for a very deadly party. After a while of just lying there in a bush, wishing i'd never have come here, some dude bolts right past me, he didn't see me, so i scoped in with my Mk 48 and let loose a short burst of death. Little did i know that it was my own aswell. As soon as my target dropped, i started being shot at by all 3 snipers, they eventually cheese'd me and off we go to respawn. It took me about 30 minutes to get back to Elektro, i searched for my body but someone had hid it, i was getting slightly irritated at that point, but atleas there was nomore lead flying around. I searched for my bike and let out a happy sigh when i found it. I took it and moved back north, where i had set up tent a few days back, bringing my bike back home safe.

That radius has been reduced to 8 tiny meters REMOVED in 1.7.4.4. OP is just a terrible shot and a whiney baby.

Explain to me, how his combat timer could've been on. He didn't get hit, he waited behind a structure for a while like OP said, wasn't close enough to OP to trigger a Radius-timer and didn't fire any shots in this time himself. He was free to go wherever he pleased.

this is a screenie of the DayZ changelogs, it's from 1.7.3 and we're on 1.7.4.4, so Alt-F4 has been locked quite a while ago. His combat timer also didn't start because you were, as you said yourself about 750 meters away. It only starts if you shoot, or shots are being fired in a radius of 100 meter around you. You just have really bad aim and he could take his time to log out like any normal player would. Read up on stuff like that before you come crying here.

GERMAN SERVERS ARE WEIRD AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED!

You make it sound like all the people on this part of the forum are like the "douches" you are describing. Matter of fact is it's just those "Douches" giving us REAL bandits a bad reputation, but there's always black sheep in a herd. I for myself only kill if i see gear that i want or if i feel like the Survivor i spotted could be a threat to me. I do admitt that i used to drop bambis when i didn't know better, but those days are in the past.

I think the first few times i shot/hatchetted people i felt guilt, but it was what i had to do to survive in Cherna. After a while i started to like the idea of ruining someones day by letting them loot a city in it's entirety and then pick them off from a 300+ meter distance and have 2 of my friends get their loot while i was already on the prowl for the next poor sucker. Now, all i feel is the adrenaline from a firefight, more intense so if i'm actually on the recieving end of a gun. No regrets, no guilt, usually followed by the words: "Welcome to MY town, bitch!"

Someone thinks he's cool, you soil the name of all real bandits outthere, also, i call BS on most of your stories. The only thing you're butchering is the english language, mate.

Oh boy, i have been busy being a lucky cunt and nearly shitting my pants today, so there's 2 new stories for you people. Event 8 I was still running around with my Dinner Bell and my ghilly suit when i decided to head north, maybe find me a better weapon. On my way to Stary i checked by my favorite small town Vyshnoye to see if the car was there, which it was, but i didn't have parts to fix it so i moved on. I went by stary only to find the town partially looted and because i was undergeared for any confrontation i headed straight for the airfield. In hindsight it was not the smartest move but hey, i made it. And the best thing about it was not even at the airfield, on my way there i literally walked into a campsite with 3 tents, i imediatly braced for a hail of bullets, but none came, so i just waited there for a bit, listening closesly into the wild. After i decided that there was nothing bad going to happen to me at this moment, i start looting the tents. 2 of them were empty, but the third one made me squee. A M249 SAW with atleast 5x30 Stanags. I dropped my enfield into that poor suckers tent, took all of his other shit that i needed aswell and just because i felt cocky, i made a map marker on his tent, writing: "Thanks for the M249, Sucker!" and went my ways towards the airfield, smiling happily. Someone was about to have a worse day than me. Event 9 After raiding the airfield i logged out, didn't find anything nice. About 5 minutes ago i figure it's a good time to relocate back towards the coast, but my usual server had night-time and i didn't have any NVGs Flares or Chemlights so i just joined a random server, i regreted it after 2 minutes. I spawn in and carefully check out my surrounding, nothing there, not even Z-spawn so i figure i was alone. I start heading south when all of a sudden i hear someone talking in a high-pitched voice behind me. It felt like my bowels were about to prolapse out of my anus. I instantly flailed around to see a bandit with a hatchett, he was sing-talking to me and all i heard was: "HI! I'M LINDSEY LOHAN!" before he could continue his psycho-babble i started spraypainting his torso with my new M249, i could hear him say "OUCH" but that was about it. "Oh boyoh! another Sciddie!" i thought as i stopped wasting my bullets, he was bleeding like a pig in a butchery, but was far from slowed down or crippled or in any way affected by my attempt in modern art. I booked it, started sprinting towards bushes and zombies, hoping i'd be faster than him untill my combat-timer stops showing me the no-no-red, i could hear him sing behind me, it was the most creepy singing i've ever heard. as soon as i found one of those inpenetrable bushes i walked around it and went prone, my combat-timer finally at a rest. I logged out as fast as humanily possible. My heart was racing and i could feel the adrenaline rushing through me. This is the very first time i survived the attack of a sciddie! VICTORY, AT LAST! Now if you excuse me, i have to change my pants. PS: Yes, i'm a huge, jumpy wuss.

Ahhh, i remember my first-blood like it was yesterday. I was playing the game for about a day backthen, had not seen a single fire-arm all game but finally found a hatchett, i came into cherno from the west, i spotted the supermarket and started to crawl up to it. I saw someone moving inside, my heart began to race, that dude was packing some serious loot from the looks, but he was distracted eating or looting, so i manned up and ran in and minced his brain with my hatchett. He had a GPS, a map, an enfield and a makarov + some other gear and filled Alice backpack, i was a happy little camper. That was the day i knew my calling as a bandit.

can anyone tell what doesn't belong into this screenie i took? :P

True, but i had 3rd person safe my ass countless times just because i saw something moving at the edge of my screen, that i wouldn't have seen if i was in first person.^^ and what's TrackIR?

Well ladies, it has been a while since i had anything to post, but here goes: Event 7 I was running towards cherno after dying, trying to re-gear and work on my Let's Play, i meet a chill dude on the way that had found a completely fixed up chopper and only needed fuel, so we decide to team up and find ourselves some jerry-cans. The only reason i didn't just murderize him was the fact that i had no gun and that he didn't shoot me on sight. We get into cherno and i can't believe my eyes. what do i see? well, i'll post some screenies i took from my video footage of it. After seeing that weird crap, we decide to hit the docks to search for jerry-cans there, i had luck and found a Ghilly Suit aswell. After about 20-30 minutes of scavenging the industrial buildings we've found 4 jerry cans and enough parts to build yourself a car from scratch, so we decide to grab that neat SUV we saw standing around on a street crossing, but then the game decides that i don't deserve to drive and while i try to get the cherry cans out of my alice backpack, it dissapears, my whole backpack.... gone! oh well i thought and logged out, set up my recording stuff and logged back in to show the world the amazing shit that i saw. Yes, that is a Destroyer class battleship in the midst of cherno, but wait, he brought a friend. 2 DESTROYERS IN CHERNO! A link to my channel, where you can watch the whole vid is in my Signature. PS: this was no private hive server, nor were the loot-tables changed.

I'd recommend the third person view though, you have a wider field of view, you can look over walls and use the "Alt" Key to rotate your camera. Untill you find someone, then a simple rightclick will iron-sight you into first person mode and POP goes the other dude.

it's not a turban, it's a scarf, or as i said, shemagh. and no problem, don't get shot ;)

rookie, i run around with the double of your score.

welcome bambi, earned your Shemagh (the scarf) yet? Single most important rule as a bandit would be: always shoot first, everything else you can do when your target is dead. You also should scope out towns and other loot-points from a hill or a rooftop, location is key, as is patience. Monitor the side-chat, sometimes there's idiots giving away their position, but be carefull, it could be a trap set by another bandit. Don't get attached to your loot, always remember, you're the only thing standing between another bandit and your scavenged gear.
