Crusader-

I do think youve literally described the clan community which already exists in day z. If your having trouble finding one that suits you why not form your own and recruit on the appropriate forum?

Sounds good to me, used in conjunction with a weather system it would be a brilliant idea.

Ah right thanks, the map seems good from what ive seen mapped out my route to the stadium and got pulled away. I plan on getting used to the community and the map and then maybe joining a clan when everybody knows who i am.

By rights the heli was in theory 75 percent owned by him, he found it, he fitted the parts... so i performed a hostile takeover.

I know i had a few things i had to do ! Not familiar with the map either. I left a cz on your body and didnt hide it because it was a little harsh, were you running from the heli crash site ?? I was scoping the vicinity ready ti make my approach.

After about an hour and a half or so of initial looting using a fresh spawn i came across a heli north of cherno, freshly spawned i think (didnt know there was a heli spawn there) complete with a player trying to repair it. He spotted me upon my approach and asked if i was friendly to which of course i replied 'yes' as i always do when equipped with anything less than military grade weaponry. He informed me he had a toolbox (which i did not) and he was in the process of repairing the heli, did i want to help ? I thought why not ! So for about another half an hour we gathered the parts we needed which he fitted, when completed i proceeded to unleash the entire contents of my lee enfield into him took his gear and flew to northwest... its safe to say he was a little upset as indicated by his sidechatter.

I get this feeling so often.

its easy for him to say he was gonna use it on zombies when hes the one who lost, you did the right thing

do you not think the fact you span around on low blood and saw a name plate took all the achievement from this...?

I had a bit of a run in yesterday. Sped past a bandit whilst on my atv, he sprayed at me with an ak, luckily the was a decline a little further down the road where i dismounted and lay down whilst still bleeding dramatically. I prayed and prayed that he'd pop his little head over the hill hoping to finish me off and loot me.. which i saw he did through my black and white pulsating vision... so i shot him in the head, and bandaged up. Looting the body i found he had meat which i cooked which took my blood to a managable level to proceed to the coast and have a fresh spawn blood bag me at gun point. Good Story by the way, i love getting one over on anybody with a heli since they think theyre invincible... i hope you get them.

came on for first time yesterday, just about geared up and ready ! downside i dont have any free time until friday night.

exactly people forget that its a game sometimes its not real life, so for the sake of replayability and even just plain fun compromises have to be made and i believe this is a compromise that could be made.

if i remember rightly he did yes. i remembering him mentioning it would be technically possible to wipe the map if the decision on the time of server restarts ment that there was actually enough time to do it, but then again he said on the latest devblog that they were working with approx 3000 zombies at the moment but he expects that number to dramatically increase

some good ideas there, i dont think it should be that resource intensive as there are alot of other drawbacks (some of which you pointed out)such as - set track (therefore easy to find) - more than likely lost when you log off - its a big target i dont think it should be treated like its gonna be this tide tipping behemoth because IMO helicopters are the most useful. also there is going to be have to be reasons left to repair and run this train other than novelty.

ohh apologies i read the post incorrectly

i dont understand the relevance of grenades and RPG ? fishing sounds good.

Yeah excursion ! do you not know in a post apocolyptic land there are no cars, helicopters and guns ! dont be so silly with your valid suggestions that are in no way less plausible than whats already in the game !

this is a great idea ! day z doesnt have enough minigames and already in the mod theyve added toilet paper !

if you have been watching dev blog you have seen the clothes system ? i dont think theyl be any visual differences between players who play with different play styles.

this sounds good to me. i think it would have to be easy to derail in the momentum that could be gained using a fully working train would be too much, think about the effects of the point you posted, it would give people alot of power having easy access to various loot spawns. if kept hold of it would definately gain you notoriety on a server.

bigmike... i agree with your point, it was a false solution but i was just playing with ideas in my head. if a train was implemented i think it would be best left out in the open if you logged off, but then again even so it would be a good feature and would give people a central target. imagine a clan having control of it and you plan an ambush managing to shoot the driver then a skirmish forms around the immobilised train.

brilliant idea, would keep it fresh.... but there are those little issues that hetstaine pointed out. this would be immersion breaking for me personally, it would also keep urban firefights interesting.

exactly... i wouldnt see the need for more crash sites if the wreckage we see everywhere will spawn loot.

a fixable train gets the thumbs up from me. so do train wrecks and a fixable railway. imagine the player congestion on an autonomus line? it would be like a hatchet fest on a london tubeline. also if you fix the train you take the conscious decision to risk losing it when you log off.. and thats your decision. or maybe you could back it into a (train) hangar? not sure what theyre called.. and have it locked? then of course you're running the risk of people camping outside for when you want to set off again? I dont know im literally typing as im thinking here.

well.... its better than starting with nothing ? thats all i got
