we can cut a whole forest and make a huge fire for the Barbie heh heh heh

Go to NWA and 100% you will meet someone even if you only are 2-3 players on the server. That is my experience anyway and that makes it one of the most dangerous hotspots in Chernarus.

Well after reading the OP letter I got so depressed I suicided my char last night by loggin into a 40 man server - running from NWA to the westernmost firestation in Elektro I climbed the tower with my mind set on jumping from the rooftop and so I noticed a few bambis running around confused. Then I was just about to jump and someone nicked me in the head from afar. At least the thought of my AKM + 3 drums and around 100 extra rounds + 3 grenades and 1 flashbanger + my first and only heli chrash loot (cr527feeder m4 mags sight for FNX) and 2xtopbottomGorka and fireset and of course pickaxe and hatchet etc. raining down on these poor newborns was quite intriguing. Note this gear was collected from loggin on low populated serves and exploring. Anyway untill Bone Conditoning Death is changed to something more feasible I will end my exploring of the boundaries of Chernarus and concentrate on straight forward hardboiled melee combat taking all chances for the laugh of it so 40+ servers here I come. This comes from a long time fan of the mod and untill now a quite satisfied customer of the SA.

"Jail building in e.g. Turovo always has the front doors open, jail door closed and room doors open on server restart, where the jail building in e.g. Green Mountain always has front doors closed, jail door closed and room doors open on restart." This and barracks also. Actually it seems less random than before 0.49 which I by the way enjoy immensely.

Keep it up i am following with great interest however there is an explanation of the strange sign here http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/198919-we-will-always-remember-you-oh-pointy-hill-of-stary/

I say hello and they say goodbye..

Hmm to the rest of the free world North Korea stands out as one of the worst places considering organized human oppression and extreme censorship. That is probably why Rocket relates it to The Southern Continents ignorant and suppressive control of information and ideas. I don't know why you guys still accept these kinds of restrictive thought control from your government. With that in mind Aussies and NZ's are among my favourite peoples and I would love to visit their countries sometime.

Tactical Donkey ROFL - I like the idea but you woud have to feed it once in a while in order to heal it and keep it alive.

Maybe because of the regular Wednesday maintenance?

My dear friends - To those of you who find the game unplayable stop playing the game and wait untill next patch is released. This was very common with the mod as far as I remember that a patch messed up the game but soon after a new was released and all was well. Patience and enjoy the new added items or take a break.

There is an interesting point in here I believe. According to the OP he was sniping at NWA on a low populated server with maybe 5-6 players - and haven't seen anyone around the place for 5-10 minutes. In my experience NWA is where there are most players on under populated servers even with only maybe 2-3 players. I have had more encounters here than any other places on the map even if camping Solnichniy on a 30-40 populated server. Though Balota is never safe NWA IS WHERE THINGS ARE HAPPENING if you bother going north just saying. Now back to topic.

2000 year old latin phrase: Homo homini lupus - meaning man is a wolf to man.. In this case it would be something like: Homo homini mortus vivens - meaning man is a living dead to man :)

If you have been playing the mod it sure feels like the map is something like 25% smaller.

Hmm I went as a fresh spawn almost full circle on the map yesterday and found every kind of loot in this game. I started in Berezino -NE airfield - along the northern East/West Highway - NW airfield - Zeleno - Cherno. It must be noted that it was a relatively unpopulated regular server with only about 6-7 players and the time was 12:05. However now I am burdened by my loot just waiting to get rid of it so I can be free again..

Haha Thank you VictorM for providing this true eerie apocalyptic feeling to the game for a few day(z)s. However the Dayz SA Elektrozavodsk transmission made me think of the Buzzer or UVB-76. It also made me look into the history of number stations and now I want to learn how to morse so it is all good. Now, I did find the morsing transmission with the sirens going of in the background even more gloomy. It reminded me about the two movies "Day After" and the english counter "Threads" and for you guys that was not born before 1990 - the possibility of an Nuclear Holocaust was somehow a part of our reality in the seventies and eighties and even before that. Well I prefer a Zed Holocaust to a Nuclear Holocaust. Anyway this whole event gave me one of the best gaming experiences for years - running around for hours trying to locate a dystopic signal made by VictorM in a Elektro chimney. I hope that there will be a lot more like this and hopefully this will inspire to more player generated events in the future. Beanz all the way...

Because of this thread I am going to spend the next year sitting in a dark room listening to my shortwave http://www.irdial.com/conet.htm

I agree 100 %. I stopped playing the mod almost a month ago leaving behind camps full of gear and weapons.

Were you by chance anywhere near Green Mountain?

I've been combing this forum a few years now and reading almost every single thread. I say keep up the good work and dont let the badass moderators (said in a respectfull voice) dissuate you from carry on finishing your guide. I find it very usefull and also found new information allthough i bought this game the same day it came out on Steam and a vet from the arma II mod DAYZ.

well you have to drink a Mountain Dew while there - that was what i have been told.

"Also, there's an easy way to dupe any item as well that I'm sure you're aware of by now. My friend and I managed to dupe quite a few things on accident even." Ahh that explains how I was able to get 16 wind screens off my bus even though I repaired it with only 6 glasses. Otherwise a satisfied customer.

Oh yea and the clouds always drift east.

The hatchet is your main and best weapon for Zeds and remember the clouds are always drifting east. This http://dayzdb.com/map helped me a lot in the early start to find my way around in Chernarus. Dont worry about the bandits - they are a part of the game imo the meaner the merrier. Keep it up and you will soon send one to the eternal Debug Plains. Maybe you will become one yourself some day. Oh and stay away from Green Mountain. Well I am no expert but this helped me a lot in the beginning. MentalMidget

Next time bring a "Mountain Dew", and you will have no trouble at all..

thanks carbine781 - its very refreshing to read you posts :)
