New dedicated Lingor island Server UK210 is up and running and open to anyone wishing to join. There are group number of regular players and we're looking for more survivors to join, but especially looking for bandits to join and spice things up as it's too safe at the moment! Look forward to seeing you on there! :) PS: We have Party Rings... - Veteran Server - GMT - 3D:ON

Teamed up with my mate Nerf Dermer today who has mostly played DayZ solo in the hope of introducing him to the more action packed side of dayz (vehicles, gun fights bandit hunting etc). The first team event involved logging off by Electro in the afternoon. We decided to raid the east fire station before logging and we heard gun shots as we arrived. We find a lone, unconscious survivor with a broken leg being eaten in the yard of the fire station. I pick of the zombies and provide DMR cover while Nerf ventures in. This guy must be new to the game as he has no back pack at all. We announce we are friendly and provide a bandage, morphine and a blood transfusion and he goes off merely on his way after saying thanks. It's a nice feeling helping someone rather than gunning them down on site or watching them die. Not that the constant thought of "He's gonna' shoot!" was not in our minds while providing medical assistance. :) The next, more epic event, was when we were on DE 1666 this evening. We were heading from Electro to Cherno along the coastline and happened to find a UAZ (fully fuelled and repaired) parked under one of the bridges. Without thinking, we bolted for it, got in and went back towards Electro bound for Stary Sobor. We took some fire driving around electro but no damage. We were approaching the dear hut outside Guglovo when we noticed a bus parked along side it and a survivor running around the tower. We drove past and circled around the trees honking (hopefully to show we were friendly) when a bandit got out of the bus and opened up at us with AR fire. Nerf was hit and we headed south across the open fields to escape, only to notice a bloody heli crash site smack bang in front of us. Driving down that way also seemed to entice the bandit bus to give chase to us, giving away the heli site location to them (which we assumed they had not seen). We pulled into some trees along the roadside to hide the UAZ and I managed to bandage and transfuse Nerf to get him ack to full health. The bus however was now fast approaching us, and by now had noticed the heli crash site next to the road. By this time, Nerf was prone next to a wall and trees along side the road and I managed to crawl out across the road onto an elevated open area to see the bus on the road drawing the attention of the military zombies with it's horn. With the heli site clear, a sniper in ghillie suite rush out of the bus to the crashed heli. I took my chance and managed to down him in one shot with my DMR. This caused the bandit driver to take the bus further down the road after I let off a few rounds, hoping to nail him. Nerf saw him burst out of the bus and leg it around the back of my loaction, and out of Nerf's range. I was fully exposed so started crawling back to the nearest bushes. By the time I got there, the bandit had located me and from the distance, let off a few rounds with a sniper. he took me down to 5k blood, but I managed to bandage myself and crawl further back towards the road. During this time, another bandit appeared and was drawing the sniper's fire to him. He appeared to raid the chopper and run back towards the tree line road. Nerf, still in the tree lines sees the bandit head straight towards him and while hidden in zombie corps, managed to unload his M4 and drop him. I managed to get across the road, up an incline and into some tree cover but was suffering with blood loss and a grey screen. I lost sight of the sniper and we could not see or hear him at all. After a few mins, Nerf stood up and ran into the open hoping to draw the sniper fire to allow me to pinpoint his location, and hopefully kill him, but nothing. Just as I was about to get and head to the heli thinking the bandit had logged, he suddenly came back down the road on a bloody bicycle! He got off his bike in the open and started scanning the tree lines. By the time his rifle pointed at me, my scope was already on him and with one head shot, he was dead. Myself and Nerf managed to loot the bandits bodies, upgrade our weapons and resupply on gadgets, ammo etc and gear up at the heli. Unfortunately, one of our tyres was shot out, and as we approached the bus, the server announced a restart in 30 seconds. Really glad we took the slow and patient route, and after some bad luck with bandits earlier in the morning, this felt like a sweet reward. And Nerf said this wasmore action then he's ever seen playing it solo. Just goes to show teaming up with an extra person can change your play-style completely! :) And kudos to the bandits who we were up against. You put up a good fight. :P

Same issue here too. Happened to me twice, once when I logged off on the edge of Electra and another time when I was at the Airfield. When I relogged, both times I found myself in Kemenka! :( Edit: This only started happening after I updated to 1.7.2.5 and Beta 95883.

People always lose the mak as quick as they can. I however like it. With head shots, it does a good amount of damage (kills zeds with one bullet) and ammo is always plentiful. It's down to your accuracy. Always a laugh though when people try to kill you with it from about 300 yards away!

Yep, same issue here too.
