    Bandit or Hero house? Origins

    There's multiple ways to glitch inside the various house levels but you shouldn't worry about that as when the house is locked you cannot access the gear. Level 1 bandot and hero houses are essentially the same minus a fe aesthetic features. Level 2 hero house isn't much of an upgrade from the level 1 in regards to physical size, however the bandit level 2 house has a very nice physical sizes and allows for easier maneuverability. Level 3, again there isn't much difference between the two. However the bandit house seems to be aesthetically tidier inside. (I have been assuming that these two somehow got switched around as a bandit would most likely have a messier house) I hope this answered your questions.
  2. You timed that eject perfectly mate! I've often had to eject due to a 'faulty pilot' and missed my chance by about a meter and end up having my knee's meet my shoulders.
  3. When placing a house you should also be aware of any slopes, my level 1 is on a slight slope and is a pain in the ass. My best suggestion is the mountain north of Martin and west of Gorka. This hill provides a good location in regards to spawn points, either Etan or Byelov (not too much of a walk). There's a firetruck spawn in Gorka that spawns 'driveable' and it's a short walk to Martin for industrial and residential loot. For an added bonus you get great overview of Gorka in regards to sniping and if you want to sneak up on houses up there, there is absolutely no viable cover.
  4. Don't give away free gear in the hopes of getting more players. Origins is a very popular mod, I doubt you'll need to give away gear to get players.
  5. As an admin on an Origins server I will just say that often there's clues to whether or not someone is farming humanity. However without having an admin map it's often difficult in proving that someone was. In all fairness it could just be a mis-communication, I'd suggest you get hold of the Admin/Owner and try to sort this out.

    How to kill Ivan (patient zero) ?

    I always trust in 10 - 12 rounds to the head from a PKM/PKP. Works a treat.

    Want to learn Origins

    You could always hop onto the Boozeplatoon TS3 and see if the others wouldn't mind showing you the ropes. boozeplatoon.teamspeak.net We also have our own Origins server, just server for Boozeplatoon on DayZCommander.

    I wish I spawned with a...

    Would you use the same knife for killing the infected and cutting meat?

    I assumed he would want to use it as a melee weapon.

    computer monitors and Dayz

    It's more of a prefrence than anything else. I like playing on a smaller monitor, I feel it's easier on the eyes. Though I have a dual monitor setup with my larger screen being used for a web browser. In reality your monitor shouldn't have a huge impact on your performance unless you've got a terrible rig and try to run DayZ on larger resolutions.

    Take Me Back to Vietnam

    My only real hacker incident was my first outting with my clan, we were all flying all a helicopter and the engine suddenly turned off and refused to start again. We jumped from the helo, apart from the pilot who thought he could glide it in as had been done before. We landed in a large woods amd then procceeded to all head towards each other when suddenly a huge explosion, we look up to see planes. Lots of them. I survived along with another. As annoying as hackers can be, it was great fun being shelled with planes, explosions, trees falling everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ7SpH0wBgY

    DAYZ DIXIE new mod in progress.

    This looks promising!
  13. I had a similar experience. I had a few drinks.. Okay I was quite drunk.. Got home and popped on DayZ. Feeling too drunk to fly the helicopter i was going to give it to one of my clan. Where I had parked the helicopter was a struggle when sober. Long story short - I crashed the helicopter before I got 10 feet in the air and wiped out our stockpile.
  14. Me and a friend got around to an idea when chatting about the DayZ SA earlier and, I quote: 'I would hand over 50 GBP to Rocket for a pre-alpha copy of the SA'. It got me wondering, how many of you would hand over a medium amount of currency to have a pre-alpha copy of the SA?
  15. It's night time, pitch black, had it not been for my NVG's I would have been blind.. Sitting in a large metal industrial building, relaxing on the walkways I peak over to a nearby building. It's like the 4th of July.. Some clever sod had popped flares and it had ruined my vision, taking off the NVG's I keep my eyes on the building. An armed player holding what seems to be an M4. Weighing my chances I decide to fire off a few warning shots with my M16, unfortunately this player doesn't take the hint and instead of getting out of there he stays put. Now he's moved to a doorway and blocked from my view, a few steps to my left and I can get eyes on. I go prone, slide to the left... Bam! I've fallen off the walkway.. 'Zypha was killed'. What situations have you found yourself in that just haven't gone the way you planned? (I retrieved my body and the player was shot down by a fellow clan member before they could loot my corpse. Apologises for the terrible format, currently on my phone.)

    A wild idea.

    That's a good point there Box. Me and my friend are the kind that love feedback, bug testing and pushing a game to its limits, which is probably a large factor into why we'd be willing to hand over the coin.

    Effective range

    After the effective range a bullet loses it's accuracy and damage, only slightly for damage though. When aiming at past the effective range you will have to account for bullet drop so it's not adviseable to fire at a moving target past a weapons effective range. I always carry a rifle and an assualt rifle because of this, I only fire my assualt rifle if the target is less than 150 meters away, anything more and I switch to my DMR (which I find most accurate between 400 and 350 meters).

    Simple Squad Tactics

    My clan do it a similar way. Most that want to engage with us dwcide against it when they get pinned down by sniper fire and have tracer pinging their asses. It's the communication between the group which is the best part, knowing where everyone is and what their arcs are saves a few accidents. Its good to see fellow tactical hunters

    DAYZ origins Salvation City

    The loot is all contained within the vehicles as previously said. You're best when planning a Salvation Island is to organise it for after a server restart. You'll be sure of good loot then.
  20. I'd suggest you learn the basics of the language first. Learning out right from a native speaker may end up with you not learning the language correctly and end up speaking and using a slang version.

    Customs Skins Dayz

    As the above post says. If you look at the Origins mod within a mod, they have a level up system which uses the ARMA 2 skins that you wouldn't find in Vanilla DayZ.

    The Tale of the Broken Leg

    This is what I love about DayZ. The players that just don't give up, they just stick in there through thick and thin. An amazing read and I applaud your determination sir!

    Origins map?

    Somewhat close regarding loot. You'll get the general idea of where to go to get what. I use it when playing Origins and it's helpful enough.
  24. 'The Baked Bean Flicker'.. Just gunna leave this here.
