You should still show up.. there is much, much more other loot, and that M4 you found would be best replaced by the one I have. It has full MP parts on it, which make it much more accurate.. In the least show up and hunt whoever wins! ;)

Well, he does have limited time ;) ..figured its the best option

In a little over 2 hours from now.. I will post the server name, and IP address/port.. and then shortly after I will post the loot locations.

You're a Ninja!.. Im sure you will end up on top if you show up for this :) Besides, your chances are very high.. this is happening soon, people will need time to get there and its Friday afternoon when most are at work/school

I would love to help out, but cant risk the event by doing that ;) I'd say kill yourself now.. jump off of something tall. And run as a fresh spawn to the area.. log out, & await further instructions :)

Was there a manual for the first fire built? Did someone just magically come up with how to build a pyramid? People are very resourceful. It would not be too difficult to do. You find a helicopter at the airport right? You would also find the mechanics hanger there too.. which would have all of the tools, and literature, supplies you should need. A man could spend 30 years building a helicopter in an apocalypse. But he would if he had a reason to. And nothing but death would stop him. I get people not wanting this in game, but the argument over reality (IRL) and what is possible.. plausible.. is just silly. You cannot say that humans could not, should not, or would not be able to perform a task simply because other humans had mostly died off. You just can't. I mean, we had to start somewhere and look where humanity is now?

Did some of you ACTUALLY watch and understand the presentation? It seems like some of you misunderstood a lot of what was said.. I personally found this presentation to be the most refreshing, and uplifting for what the future may hold for Dayz.. A lot of really good, and intelligent things are being done, and I really up until now had little faith that they were on a properly focused track for this game. Now I know they are. If you are confused or think server hopping will get worse, etc.. I would suggest watching the video again.. and then research the parts that you do not fully understand.

OP already uses DayzDB to range his shots using the map.. but now needs a rangefinder to make it even easier? I dislike this type of mentality. IMO, Practice>being handed something for nothing.

Go to google.. this is off topic btw. Go to google, search CVS. Now click on CVS pharmacy.com or whatever its called. Go to search box in CVS.com website. Search "Decor". Profit.

Make it hilarious.. If I laugh my ass off, I keep coming back to YT videos and streamers..

I bet he looks just like that. ..maybe moar arms tho

You know this guy posting this stuff.. he is amazing. He must have at least 5 arms and 7 keyboards. ..HOLY FUCK! HETSTAINE!! Dat photoshop is amazing.. I just sharted myself IRL over it

^ This. Random pull from "NEW PLAYERS" section should suffice.

LOL

I suggest the logout timer and combat log timer be adjusted. Currently you log out, and are in game for another 30 seconds. Many people have issues with being killed by zombies or players during this logout process and do not know until they log in again later. In the Dayz mods there was the same feature, but you were not logged out.. you selected quit, and a 30 second timer would start. You could not log out until it finished, if you did by hitting altf4 or any other method you would be killed most likely by the system and would spawn on the coast fresh. So you had to let the timer finish. Now at any time you could back out of the timer process, but it took hitting escape about 3 times before you were back in game. It was not instantaneous. This took long enough to make it possible to survive a bad situation but still left combat loggers at a serious disadvantage. The screen was visible while the 30 seconds counted down, but it was blurred out and the noises were deafened slightly. I personally have no issues with the way it is now, but others seem to. So I think this small tweak would be a great way of making everyone understand what happens during that time out process. :) TL;DR Instead of you logging out to the lobby and your player stays in game for another 30 seconds, you hit quit and see a 30 sec. timer start to count down. When it finishes you can select OKAY and leave the game immediately. You see the same screen the entire time, as when you hit escape in game to select quit, while the timer counts down.

I've been going over this idea in my head about Zombies.. and how you could potentially clear a town, or make it less dangerous to loot. Also how you could just have some good old fashioned fun with the Zeds. It does require a partner though, and I have not had one to try this yet so maybe someone can before I get to and let me know what happens? So you go to a town, hopefully unlooted. Your partner takes a rifle, loud one preferably, and goes to a position that is at least above 2nd floor height (as Zeds can at times hit you on the 2nd floor from below). 2.5 story barns work well for this, also any green watch tower, firestation, airfield watch towers.. anything that gets you up above 2nd floor level. So he gets there with his weapon, and starts shooting a few rounds.. Mosin is best for this. Now you wait. The Zeds will come running in soon. So your partner can now either: A. Loot the town safely (if you are on the outskirts drawing all the Zeds away from the buildings towards your shooting) B. Start Melee killing off the zeds that have collected underneath you.. this is the part that I want to know what happens? Im not sure if the Zeds will spawn back in town, on the edges, or what will happen if one player draws aggro via shooting, and another player sneaks up behind the zeds and hacks them to death? I know they will spawn back in, but in what condition and where? Time to test this for science.. anyone have input or try this yet? :)

you dont need to server lock people.. just have separate hives. If you hop servers, its useless. Completely and utterly useless.. That is the only single way to EVER cease server hopping. EVER.

Its even better if you just sing it, while doing the musical instrument parts with your mouth too. Jungle boogie is perfect for that.. :P

That would be great to have some new forests that are very dense.. maybe as they add the cities in up North they can do some additions like that? I would love to see the lightning strikes not just be static.. like they actually hit down in game and can cause heart attacks and death, or trees to fall/catch fire.. buildings to lose their lighting at night, stuff like that. Forest fires, random ones that happened like at most once per server would be amazing.. just amazing

Loot respawn = loot cycle or Loot respawn = area already looted (long timer to wait for more), so still have server hopping

I hope experimental servers go up soon, as it would much easier for me try this out on those servers.. on stable my players are way the hell up north, and all my friends are always fresh spawns or on the coast. I really cant wait to ambush me some zeds.. Ill just lay in the grass and pop up, start hacking like a madman :P

I hope someone did.. sat there in panic, started dropping his weapons.. raises hands.. and just sits there. Nothing. No shots. WTF? Uses sidechat, "You there man? I dropped my weapons, please dont shoot." .."Hello?" I did this once in the Dayzero mod, it was absolutely hilarious.. :D We always had firefights ongoing at the NWAF. Like every single night, on the same BMRF servers. So I grabbed some camo gear, a nice starter backpack, and fill all my slots with toilet paper, and straight razors (both utterly useless filler loot) also some empty tin cans, which actually can be used to some degree. Anyhow I go running across the tarmac while there is a fight going on.. I start to yell as I encroach the ATC and firestation, " I am a medic, I will save you all!" Of course gunshots erupt all around me, but Im dodging and weaving.. stay alive for about 5 minutes like this taking constant fire.. meanwhile my friends are picking them off one by one, as they shoot at me. I finally rush up the ATC after the guy inside there.. he mows me down as I come up the stairs. He then types, "thanks for gear bitch, I needed it. I was almost dead.." Then, I respond, "You havent looked at my "gear" yet have you? LULZ" His silence spoke volumes.. he c-logged after that and we never saw him on the servers again. ;) I think he moved on to League of Legends or something.. lol

After reading this thread, I visited Armaholic.com last night. Found the map pack containing Chernarus and many, many other maps from A2 and Arma2:OA. I also installed an Arma 3 scenario addon called Dynamic War Scenario or DUWS something like that.. it generates random events across any map. Not zombies, but AI bots to attack and kill. So I got it all going, on Chernarus and I swear I did it all night until about 4am almost.. Flying around Chernarus in a little birds, getting shot down by AA rockets.. Hunting down HVT's and sniping them with a headshot while my mortar strike hits seconds later killing his entire security detachment. The fluid player movement from Arma 3 is in there.. the map is Chernarus but looks beautiful in the Arma 3 engine.. and I swear if you want to practice shooting its the best damn way to get there. You can also DL a weapon pack which will let you practice using the M4, 1911, and other weapons that work very close to guns like the mosin and sks, etc. I highly recommend it if you have Arma 3 :) map pack: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23863 mission generator: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21816
