Im about 4-5 days at the moment, maybe longer cant remember. I keep getting warped back tot eh south coast though each time tehres been a patch, so thats probably helped me a little.

I think it's the new map clean up. It seems to have abit of a quick clean up cycle. I seen it happen a few times last night. Also I could hear flies around various parts of the south coast where people had obviously been killed but their bodies were gone.

lol some good ones, keep them up!

I never do, I believe it's an exploit. I just use flares and chemlights when I play at night. I do tend to pay the price for it however with players, and now since the patch infected investigating the light sourse! Still, it adds to the imersion.

They do climb ladders, I've seen it quite a few times and they are quite quick about it. Steps present no problem to them either. They also aren't as deterred by water since recent patches. I made a break for an island off the coast when i was being chased by a horde, I had hardly any kit so it was worth the gamble of losing it in the sea. Anyway once I reached the shore of the island I ran to the lighthouse on the off chance there may be a secret loot spawn or something. Anyway when I reached the top, I looked back and seen the horde had chased me into the sea and looked to be heading for the island where I was! Im not sure if they were swimming or what but they had made it almost half way to the island before I decided to make a break for it and swam of the other side of the island!

I like the veriety of the Chenerus map, Takistan is just bland.

Most vehicles can be found towards the North of the map and usually need repairing first!

A clan member who plays ARMA 2 tried it and told me about it. I literally bought ARMA 2 based on his experience of the mod.

lol same here!

I tend to keep away from it as it's a magnet to trigger happy newbies who think it sounds cool and bandits who need quick supplies. Rog is similar on the south coast.

I'd played ARMA 2 before and was keen to get into the game once the F2P version went live but just never got time to get into it. I bought the ARMA X edition purely to run the DAY Z game and I am really pleased with it. I think it was worth the money alone and I see ARMA 2 as a nice little bonus! :)

I thought I'd update this thread with the exploits of our BSB Survivors story. The stories are regularly published on our website (www.bsbnetwork.com) ont eh features page. The Begining The story of the BSB Survivors starts 13th of May 2012 when I joined the EU2 server late in the evening (10pm GMT I think). After speaking to BSB member Dusk at work we had planned to get on at some point through the weekend together but had managed to miss each other a couple of times. We managed to get online together and joined the same server, obviously as it was so late the game server was in night time mode and was pitch black! Survival and meeting up with friends in this game is hard enough in the day light so we knew things were going to be rough tonight! I was starting a fresh character after dying on my last game, Dusk had recently spawned and was still close by the South coast. As I spawn I get get a glimpse of my spawning location , as luck would have it I was on the West of Elektro and Dusk was on the East of the city so we decided to try and meet up, him heading west and me east. As we progressed cautiously along the coast Dusk tells me that he'd spotted two players also heading west along the coast two. Whilst stalking them he found an M16 on an dead player that the two players he was stalking managed to miss! However getting the rifle he managed to lose the two players and continue on in the same direction hoping to catch up with them. Meanwhile I spotted a flare being lit up in the distance just off the coast towards a set of farm buildings so immediately headed for the light. As I approached I seen a lone survivor moving into the light, being very cautious for stray zombies but leaving himself very vulnerable to other players. I droped down to my knees and slowly pressed forward as he moved out of view through an opening in the fence. Just as I was approaching the illuminated area I noticed a second player creeping through the light along the same path as the first. I instantly dropped to a prone positon thinking this guy was sure to spot me at any second.... However he continues on his path. I presumed that these two were a team and out looking together and was planning on giving them a wide birth when I suddenly heard shots fired from the direction the two guys went. I hadnt seen any walkers but presumed they must have spotted one. As I cautiously creeped around the farm house I and could hear the flys buzzing around - a tell tale sign of a human fataliy! so was a little curious and thought id maybe found a dead body with some loot on it close by. I headed towards the opening in the fence the two guys had gone through a few moments earlier, presuming they would be busy looking for loot and taking care of the zombies the probably were shooting at. Upon going through the fence I see a dead survivor, i moved towards the body and just as I did so I spotted one of the guys I had just seen heading for the same body. He hadnt seen me, but it suddenly occurred to me that the two guys I had seen werent working as a team , but simply an unfortunate newbie being trailed by a bandit! I decided I would take this guy out and claim the spoils of both of these guys in a split second! In any other game I would have said this was uncharacteristic of me and my normal reaction would have been to befriend another gamer but this is Day Z and it's a harsh game world!!! I shot at the guy as he went to check his victims gear, at least one round hit him and he immediately returned fire, clipping me as i moved for cover. Luckily he was using a markarov the same as me and it's relatively weak round wasnt fatal with a single hit! I double backed around the building and managed to sneak round behind him as he moved cautiously to my previous position. I shot 4 or 5 rounds off and hit him with at least one but he still managed to squeeze a few shots off himself. He dropped to the ground but was still alive. I walked over to him and finished him off. However it wasnt without it's toll as I was bleeding badly and needed to bandage myself. I had lost a lot of blood but stopped the bleed and taken some pain killers by this point, but I was still in a bad way and needed blood. I began looting the corpses of the two other survivors. Lots of food and Markorov rounds, a few flairs and the usual beginners kit. However I also managed to get a Frag grenade, a watch, a Lee Enfield rifle (with no rounds) , a chemical light (red) and a hunting knife. I moved to the coast to continue with my Rendezvous with Dusk. We met just a few minutes later along the shoreline, as it turned out the two guys I had run into must have been the two he was stalking! It didnt matter now as I had paid a harsh price for very little reward! I needed blood! Unsure on how to do a blood transfusion (or if we even had the right kit!) we decided the best place was the nearby city of Cherno which has a hospital. My blured vision and the poor light meant it was difficult for me to find my way there so I gave the chem light to Dusk so i could follwo him, at least while we were in the rural parts of the map. Then the plan was to hole me up in a barn, house or other shelter while he went for the blood under the cover of darkness. I was toast if we had any entanglements with Walkers or bandits anyway! We pressed towards it following the coast for about 15 minutes. I passed out several times. During this point Kindy logged into TS and joined our server. We believed he had spawned to the west of the city of Cherno. Eventually we reached Cherno Dock lands and headed for a warehouse. As we approached the familiar sound of a nearby walker loomed. This was particularly concerning for me as I had very limited vision and was really struggling to aim with my poor health! As we moved slowly towards teh warehouse Dusk spots the walker, through the first floor window, then we spot a second wandering around the ground floor. We decide i need to move inside quickly if I'm to stand any chance at all! As we moved inside Dusk snapped off his first shot at the walker on the ground floor but it doesn’t take it down and it started lunging forward towards me! My vision was seriously impaired because of the blood loss I’d suffered but I tried to shoot the walker anyway, I quickly fired between 4- and 7 rounds off at the walker hitting it at least once (but also missing at least 3 rounds because of the blurred and shaky vision!) We quickly pressed on to the back of the warehouse toward the stares as other nearby walkers who were alerted by the gunshots were now advancing on the warehouse. As I I climbed the stares I spotted the walker up there on the first floor heading towards the stairs for me, I heard Dusk shooting away at the advancing walkers now coming through the entrance to the warehouse following us inside. Thankfully, the game AI stops the "sprinters” dead in their tracks as they enter a building and they continue their advance at walking pace, making it a little easier when in doors (buildings are a great salvation when being chased by a horde!) I again fired a couple of rounds off at the first floor lunger heading straight for me, with Dusk following me and also shooting at the same zombie now having cleared the ground floor. We managed to clear the first floor and caught a breather. The first floor of some of the warehouses is bugged and part of a tree’s foliage warps through the wall and blocks part of the walkway up there. I’d seen this before and knew you could "climb” (default ‘V’ button) through the branches and leaves and emerge on the other side of the walkway safe and it offered me a great position to wait while seriously injured as I could sit tight relatively safe from zombies (as I’d be able to hit ay that did wander in by chance as they climbed the stairs and struggled with the bugged branches ) and it had windowed vantage points that I could check to see approaching flares or if I heard footsteps of voices (There’s proximity voice comes built into the game so you hear people talking in your immediate area!) As I pressed my V key to climb through the foliage DISASATER hits home! With my impaired vision I had climbed over the safety rail and fell from the first floor to the ground below and broken my legs and died form blood loss! Nightmare!!!!! I told Dusk to get my positions and pick up the useful – especially THE BEANS! I decided to spawn again , luckily I spawned in a similar position as I had earlier and was able to follow the coast west again retracing the steps I’d taken with Dusk earlier. After about 10 minutes I had met back up with Dusk again on the south coast who had headed out of Cherno docks – it was pointless heading into such a dangerous city at night now as we didn’t need blood any longer. Kindy, who was still in TS and still in the game somewhere was unable to tell where he was and sounded like he was heading North somewhere, it was going to be next to impossible to meet up with him till he could find a landmark so Dusk and I decided to head for "Rog” instead – a hill top vantage point with a fort ruin and a military commandeered deer stand near by – sure fire place for some "Gucci” kit to be found! Rog was a good distance from the location we met at between Cherno and Electro cities, sitting a few Kilometres to the Northeast of Electro. It would need a serious navigation as it lies deep within forest and plains with only dirt track and side roads running near by. It was unlikely we’d reach there for another day or so, ideally we’d need day light too! We pressed ahead anyway to break some of the distance down, heading towards Electro city, intending on circumnavigating it. As we proceeded we again seen a flare in the distance. We stopped and watched for a moment to see what was happening. Dusk spotted a single survivor in the light moving around an old farm building. We decided to move forward to get a better look and decide if it was worth killing him for his supplies. As we approached we split up, I took the left flank, Dusk taking the right flank by the sea. We both pressed on the survivor sticking to the darkness and not venturing into the intense red glow of the flare. By this point we’d lost sight of this guy, but knew he was still nearby as another two flares were thrown. He was moving around somewhere between the three flares and the abandoned farm building. We both navigated around the edge of all the flares and met up on the other side –scaring the shit out of each other as we did so and Dusk almost shot at me as he was expecting me to be in a Bandit outfit (as I had been when we first met up!). The same caution and hesitation to shoot could have cost us dear on another day! Neither of us had seen the guy we’d been looking for, it seemed unlikely he’d headed off into the darkness without us at least seeing him do so. We split up again to scavenge the site to look for goodies or clues, it looked like this was just some random newbie spawning... Then out of nowhere a random Markorov gunshot rang out, I immediately dropped to prone and scanned around to see where the shots were coming from, dusk did the same although I couldn’t see where he was! I called to Dusk asking him if it was him who had shot. "No it’s the noob” He replied! Then a couple more shots rang out, one of them just missing Dusk who said he’d heard the round whistle past his head. We both saw the muzzle flashes of random fire in the darkness to the north of the flares, around 30 feet outside of the illumination. Before I could get a shot off Dusk ahd plunged 3 or 4 rounds into the noobie, killing him. It looked like the guy was randomly firing into the darkness and wasn’t actually aware of us being there, although I guess we’ll never know now! We scavenged his kit and took his Beans and Markorov Rounds. At this point it was getting uite late, around 12;30 AM and we deicide to call it a night so we headed north for a while and found some shrubbery and trees to disconnect from (meaning when we reconnect we will do so with minimum risk of being spotted by randoms!)

Hiya, the bulk of our clan core is based in the Northeast of England. We got 4-5 members in Hartlepool (including me) and another 4-8 based in and around Newcastle.

All matuer/adult co-operative players welcome to get involved! Join our TS server to join in.

Make sure you bandage youself early and properly - I've found you need to let the bandage animation/sound compelte before you do anything else or it dosent seem to work.

Same KillKhan who played BF3 with BSB earlier this year?

You can contest Youtube muting your video. Google "Youtube fair use policy" to find out how. It works for me all the time.

Didnt the last patch add the feature of zombies investigating coprses?

Still looking for players to join our community and get involved with organised games.

I presume you are talkingabout the music - in which case turn it down. other than that I love the ambience sounds and the zombie sounds (particularly the new additions - hearing them from the darkness during the night really sends a chill down your spine!).

It's an excellent concept for sure, once the balancing and tweaks have been made it will really add to the game. I think it will lead to other good/useful features too such as having the ability to find better clothes/skins such as winter clothing, water proofs and so on. Could lead to having a change of cloths for warmer weather to prevent over heating maybe, that sort of thing.

I'd be happy to help out. I'm 31, active every day and on a good day I'm reasonably intellegent and balanced. I have made posts and would say reading through my post history should give you an indication as to how diplomatic and balanced I can be. I have a fair amount of experience having been amoderator and adminsitrator on our clan website for over 10 years (www.bsbnetwork.com) where you can see examples of my work. My email address is [email protected] let me know if you need to know anything else.

I dont actually think the Revolver ammo and the 1911 ammo are interchangeable in real life and although the same calibre their casings are quite different to accommodate their loading mechanisms. I'm no expert but I have seen both types of round and know there is a distinct difference between barrel loaded rounds and magazine loaded rounds. So it makes sense that the .45 colt rounds wouldnt fit the .45 revolver and vice versa.

Well that's fantastic. Anyway [bSB], still here and still surviving. Get involved on our TS and website for more details www.bsbnetwork.com

I love your face
