what happened to the legit players?
bigdogsco replied to jinko82's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Balota buddies server (uk46) has had at least 30 players on it every night this week. Slowly but surely the numbers are building. -
good old hetstaine always with the good reads.

I like the one where the stock is tye died. -
Recomend a good white listed private hive
bigdogsco replied to richjones19772000's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Balota buddies hosts uk46. Private whitelisted. I don't play anywhere else. WWW.balotabuddies.net 20 plus at peak times with new players appearing every day. Runs at GMT -8 so it starts to get dark around 2am GMT with full darkness at 3am GMT. -
I just dont understand the "unspoken rules" . . HELP !!
bigdogsco replied to RepoCult's topic in New Player Discussion
The UK server isn't as heavily populated as the former colonies. We see maybe 15-25 at peak times and we want more. Come on Europe get with the program! -

May as well hop on the bandwagon. Balota buddies uk46 is my home :) -
[HOW TO] Survive Starting Without A Gun
bigdogsco replied to dzuari's topic in New Player Discussion
There's usually medical equipment on the roof of the hospital if you have no means to break the glass. Ladder is round back :) -
Official Servers: Invalid Items?
bigdogsco replied to myskaal's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I think the only recent deletion was the l85 thermal. Its a bit bad that you were kicked so quick for having it cos it was only stopped from spawning not actually deleted from the game. Some servers have a system that detects invalid weapons but the ones I've encountered give you a warning first. Try another server and stick the gun on a dead zombie and hide the body or stick it in a full bag. -
True they are common, but I'm a tight fisted Scot and they are awfy loud.

Sorry john you got in before my edit :)

^this at a rate of 30 per min Although I would have thought you woulda reset by now (unless you used a shotgun with pellets loaded or body shots from a makarov). Might be glitches. Try and find some camo clothing or a ghillie suit :)

I wouldn't waste a dmr round on a zombie!

Anyone know a good UK server?
bigdogsco replied to Bottlerocket's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Still with vilayer wooly? -
To answer your question, in dayzcommander the servers that are a NOT part of the main hive display an icon that is a cloud with a cross through it.
-
Does this normally happen?
bigdogsco replied to ManEatinRaisinBread's topic in New Player Discussion
Not that specific problem but yeah, I've been in servers where the whole population has died en masse. Your hacker was just a bit more imaginative than most. Get off the public servers and your exposure to hackers will decrease exponentially. My personal favourite is uk46 (WWW.balotabuddies.net) -
What is Your First Instinctive Reaction When Spotting a Player?
bigdogsco replied to DemonGroover's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If their a bandit skin I shoot em or maneuver myself to a position from which i can shoot them. If they are any other skin I will attempt to communicate first. If I'm met with silence I shoot em. If they claim friendly I don't shoot em but keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour. -
Best places to pitch a tent/make a base?
bigdogsco replied to tals975's topic in New Player Discussion
Nowhere is safe. Yeah stick it away from the most travelled routes in a bit of cover to prevent it being accidentally discovered too easily but your tent WILL get raided. -
M14aim is my favourite. I will drop any other weapon for this. Hits like a tonne of bricks and is useful out to a huge range. Plus it looks bloody awesome.
-
Poll of best mid range weapon
bigdogsco replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I love the m14aim. It packs a punch, its pinpoint accurate, volume of fire is amazing and the visibility while looking down the sight is second to none. Ps it ain't super rare and its ammo is everywhere. -
Being a Lone wolf, you should consider it.
bigdogsco replied to mitor's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I LW the majority of the time. I play with another fella whenever we happen to be on our regular private hive at the same time, its a pleasant change of pace. I've played once with irl mates who were newbies and I ended up being friendly fired :( -
AFAIK humanity loss is based on projectiles hitting the target?
-
Does nobody remember the birth of modern fps games? Remember how hard it was to shoot whoever was playing as oddjob in goldeneye multiplayer on the n64? Vote no on zombie kids!
-
Generally you can trust the people you're in TS with

Nice Darryl. Either it was a headshot or you had 10 clips :P. I'm slowly turning into a shoot if I feel at all threatened type of player. Sorry Matthew on the Cyprus private hive who I gave the good news to with a DMR at the barn south of green mountain. You surprised me with your zombie train and I popped you on reflex.

OK children like there isn't enough boobs on the internet already. Serious response to op. I'm not really a fan of events. I prefer stuff that happens off the cuff, I find it more memorable than constructed events. I think unused parts of the map need to stay mostly unused to keep the feeling of distance that we currently have in chernarus. I'm not opposed to random things showing up ie heli crashes etc in the out of the way places that are infrequently visited. As far as vehicles go, i think vanilla dayz levels of vehicles are fine except for maybe more bikes :)
