So I have a quick question, after reading the rules on your website, how can you enforce the new life rule you talk about on the website? I mean you can't expect players to just forget about their gear or the player/group that just killed them. I get it your server, your rules but this just seems silly that you expect people to just forget about the events leading to a players demise. I mean no disrespect to Binary Clan but how can you enforce this?

Hilux/Datsun junk yards, your One Stop Shop
tobias winfro replied to sachad's topic in General Discussion
Yeah those junk yards are the bomb, there are a few around the map. I usually hit the one by stary/novy sobor but if you can find one near your initial spawn, you feel like you hit the lotto. I tend to go for the SKS there when I find one, you can also find PU scopes there too. Be careful there though, I have run into people looking to troll or just kill new people for the lulz while they look for things to survive -
---ATTENTION ALL SERVER HOSTERS---
tobias winfro replied to airborneguy's topic in General Discussion
See this is why I started playing on privates hives, too many admin kicking on publics for guild and friend loot farms. But coming here and gloating over getting servers closed down is a bit bush league to me. To each his/her own I guess -
Nice haul, especially the AUG. I had something similar happen to me, logging in and being dead in the woods. After server restart I found a V3s and headed to the airfield. Found 3 crashes on the airstrip, while looting the ATC, 3 guys pop in fully kitted so I popped all 3 and took their gear. Holy backpack-ception Batman, so I removed their gear and stashed it and called my mates to get them kitted with m4s and all the gear you could ever want. I feel if people are silly enough to log out in a military zone then the need to be taught a lesson on server hopping

Ive found high capacity vests in the barracks and the jail building in the little military base southeast of vybor, I suspect someone dropped the jail building vest though. You should also check the tent area over at myshinko near the western end of the map. There is a wooden structure at the south end that spawns either a high capacity vest or an assult vest. By far the hardest item to aquire for me to aquire are magazines for the mp5k or the cr527 carbine followed by yellow protector cases but thats my fault as I dislike firestations due to always breaking my legs going upstairs

I have some questions. Please help me here...
tobias winfro replied to CJ_14's topic in General Discussion
I tend to find them in the squad car just outside of Stary Sobor on the road heading Northwest out of town. Found one there on 3 different public hives and 2 on different private hives that I play on. Maybe I'm just fortunate to find 5 of them in the same spot but I would trade them all in for an mp5 mag or 2 on Hot Grills RP private hive. I know I can server hop for them on public but I like those guys and gals over on the RP servers, good group of peeps on that server -
I have some questions. Please help me here...
tobias winfro replied to CJ_14's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the heads up, I found a squad car over by Stary Sobor and I've been looking for others but never looked near Novodmitrovsk. I will keep on looking then, hell I've found more anti stab vests than mp5s or attachments/magazines. I swear this game knows what I need and then trolls me....if I don't have an MP5K I can find magazines but the minute I find one, everything dries up and I can find anything for it -
I have some questions. Please help me here...
tobias winfro replied to CJ_14's topic in General Discussion
While you fine folks are in the mood to answer questions, I've searched high and low but I can't seem to find any mags for my MP5K, can anyone point me in the right direction? I have an mp5k on both public and private hives, I even found the m68 red dot optic for both of them at chopper crashes but no magazines. Everything I've looked at online says general military, police stations and squad cars but I cant seem to locate one. I've tried on both persistent on and off even tried a bit of server hopping but no luck. I've even tried trading for one but everyone has the same answer...no mp5 mags. At this point I've found more chopper crashes and V3S spawns than I have mp5 mags Edit: Merry Christmas -
For me its an improvised fishing pole, a hook, boonie hat, waterproof bag and jacket, bandages, a shovel, axe, knife and matches. This is all I need to survive but "good gear" is dependent on the player and what you feel you need to survive. I'm not big into pvp so a weapon isn't a big priority until I have what I need to make it in the wild. Everyone has their own opinion and style, so no answer is a bad one
-
What's wrong with them? Other than giving us more zombies, what is it you'd like to see? They work just fine for me, haven't had one glitch through a wall in forever and they seem to recognize the fact that you just wacked em with an axe or sledgehammer. Yes their sight and hearing is a bit touchy but I thought they were only placeholders and the devs are working on distance in which they aggro
-
Probably just skulking around in the shadows, in a building or just around the corner watching you. We detained a gentleman last night after we kept hearing the same thing you did. Turns out he was just trolling people, we had a good laugh about it and turned him loose with supplies and told him to keep on trolling

Would natural gas pipelines work in Case of Apocalypse?
tobias winfro replied to Damnyourdeadman's topic in General Discussion
Yes you are correct, a lot of companies, not just the propane and natural gas fields are going green. Some of those companies are installing solar and hydroelectric grids in case of catastrophic failure to the main electrical sources to keep thing running for as long as they can. -
Would natural gas pipelines work in Case of Apocalypse?
tobias winfro replied to Damnyourdeadman's topic in General Discussion
Gas would work as long as there was electricity to keep the metering stations operational, the lines were free of obstructions and the engines or jet turbines that propel and compress said gas were operational. I wouldn't want to be around any meter or containment unit if no one was around to properly maintain them because once the pressure starts to build and gas starts leaking, one wrong spark and kaboom! Also pipelines in Michigan are regularly tested for infectious diseases, sounds crazy I know but its something that could happen, only reason I know that is my father and brother work for a natural gas shipping company. Edit: but as long as you have a pig or gas cylinder around your house that's got gas in it, you should be OK to use it -
KOS is and always will be part of any survival game. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to mention it but if you think H1Z1 will be any different you're sadly mistaken. Creating an artificial system to punish people for their play style is silly. PvP is the great equalizer in games like this and losing everything is punishment for making mistakes. Don't get attached to your life/gear and learn from previous encounters that went bad

Why does the game hide everything cool from us?
tobias winfro replied to Sebidee's topic in General Discussion
I'll admit Dayz can be frustrating especially when you're trying to find a few specific items. Most of the fun I've had in Dayz comes from the journey and the people I encounter, good or bad. Finding guns in Dayz is easy at the moment but if you're looking for an m4, any AK variant you may need to check several military barracks or if you're lucky enough to find chopper crashes. You may need to check different servers as well, I tend to find more on servers with persistence off but persistence on servers have good loot, you just have to search a bit harder. Yes, trekking across the map on foot can be boring but when vehicles get moved to stable build things will get easier. Keep at it, the videos you're watching can be helpful to nail down where things spawn but don't expect these things to be there waiting for you. Server hoppers and other players may have beat you to the things you're looking for and by all means pick up that useless gun because once you pass it up, you'll find a magazine or ammo for said gun and then you'll have to backtrack and waste time.....or at least that's my experience -
Know your role, and stick to your words.
tobias winfro replied to comikz's topic in General Discussion
Always assume people at the airfields or military spawns are hostile, no matter how many times they said friendly. I will agree that luring people in only to kill them is very dirty and underhanded but its an effective and legit tactic. You should have tried to kill them, I realize you thought you were out gunned but even the sporter 22 can be deadly in the right hands. Some people need to be taught a lesson, these guys sounded like they could have used a bit of lead poisoning and removal of their hard earned gear -
Did you try looking over at Myshinko? I see them over there more often than not, even on persistence enabled servers. I picked one up 2 days ago but gave it to another player in the area who needed it more than I did

This could also lead to infections for not properly cleaning the wound and the tools, ranging from mild to severe. I would imagine you may need to give the patient a pint or 2 of blood. It could also lead to a whole new type of shenanigans, people posing as a doctor/medic only to kill their patients in the end by giving them the wrong blood type or by not cleaning their tools properly.

I don't see Dayz as an fps like quake, bf4 or COD but Dayz is whatever you make it. I dont see how shooting everything that moves could be fun for more than 10 minutes but everyone plays for their own enjoyment. Sure PvP can be a rush when you're taking on people with better gear or they have an advantage in numbers but it soon goes away.

Anybody esle getting this? (AMD)
tobias winfro replied to Count_Grishnackh's topic in Troubleshooting
I'm using the R7 240 and I haven't seen this, never saw it with my Raedon HD 6670 either -
Something for the ladies... the Pink Derringer exists!
tobias winfro replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
The fnx does exist, I had one on septic falcons private hive. Found magazines for it over near the small military barracks south of Vybor. Gave it to a clanmate while we were hunting for a drum mag for his akm. I'd rather have the magnum or derringer due to ammo being easy to find for those 2 pistols and not needing a magazine -
Something for the ladies... the Pink Derringer exists!
tobias winfro replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
I've killed a few people with old pinky there. No shame in it, although I've only seen a pink derringer on 3 occasions. I tend to pick it up due to only taking 2 slots in my pack and I like killing people with "weak" guns such as the sporter and derringer. I enjoy the butthurt it causes because I tend to leave notes on my victims body's and thank them for the upgrades and ask them to be good to my sporter and pinky -
So if it did work, would it be considered murder or suicide??
-
Unfortunately it happens, especially when you have a police station and a school/office building so close. You are also very close to the NWAF and the small base just southeast of Vybor. People get guns and then shoot people for shits and giggles or maybe he was hungry

Nothing reduces PvP KoS like...I don't know...EATING PEOPLE!?!
tobias winfro replied to bfisher's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, one of my clanmates has serious plans to nom nom nom on people who try to kos. Not sure if I'm more curious or disgusted by the whole idea. Don't get me wrong, its good that the cannibal finally have something to role play, I just think its kinda over the top
