Once we have all the things added in, I want to make loot "treasure" spots and leave maps to their locations. Its something I have done before just without the ability to leave maps.. which will much easier. Goes like this: Leave 2nd walkie talkie at high traffic location in Elektro.. I can now talk into it from up to 900m+ away and people nearby will hear it. I keep it within eyeshot and when I have someone listening in, I tell him a tale of treasure and riches. I give him a clue that is easy.. that leads him to the map. If he decides to go to the map location, he finds a full tent, or backpack with all the necessary tools to survive. I did this once (in the mod) with 3 tents, all full.. so many weapons inside. I followed the group of 4 all the way in, using global/sidechat and hiding.. giving them hints and clues on where it was. They found it and just freaked out with excitement over global chat. It was well worth it. :)

Those odds are exactly why I have never even picked one up.

This post made me smile :)

I had thought about making a post about this very thing.. that dying is a good thing, because you get to learn from your mistakes and start over fresh. With this game, having no real focus or end game, starting over fresh is a lot of fun. Some of my best times were as a fresh spawn with no cares in the world, meeting other players. I like what you have done here KoS. I understand there may be some language barriers with the way you type, but I personally enjoy it and see no reason why people should fault you for that. MMOSS - Massive Multiplayer Online Survival Sandbox. This is what Dayz is essentially. A sandbox. That you are solely tasked with surviving in. How you go about doing that is up to you. Nobody can say how it should be played, and I really wish people could understand that. I guess its a maturity thing, but getting upset about how others play a game that has no real rules is absurd. You do you, let them do whatever they want. If you can accomplish that, its much easier to focus on your mistakes when things go wrong and learn from them. Over time you start to survive so long, and so effortlessly that the game truly opens up to your imagination and the fun is limitless. See you in Chernarus.. one way or another ;)

Dats going to explode his head. ;)

I know of a loot location that about 99% of players overlook that pretty much only spawns weapon attachments.. I used to find LRS in them. Not any longer, and I would not be surprised if they were removed from loot spawns or adjusted to be so low that they are like NVG in the mod. There has been an silent adjustment to weapon loot spawns almost each and every wednesday. Ive seen it in loot spawns, and the players I kill. Not as many people with scopes these days. Not as many Mosin+LRS+Comp players roaming around. They are still there, but not as abundant. I still find tons of M4 and pistols. A few SKS, not as many as a few weeks ago.. They are releasing things in mass at first, watch it get tested.. then they basically remove it so people arent just getting griefed. I cant wait to see how rare weapons become once all the civ weapons are implemented like bows and arrows..

But with the persistent backpacks option, players will be able to temporarily ditch their pack to run quickly to an area.. there will always be a meta-game way around what ever they code into Dayz. I think its funny. If they make it so you cant run for long periods of time, I know people will find some way around it.

We need to compile a list of servers that implement this..

Negative, that is obviously Detroit. ;)

Now you I know you cray-cray.

I can offer you 3-10 rounds of 5.56 if you would like to tell me what server you are on and where you are located OP. I will place the black Tshirt on your body once my rounds have been well received. ;)

I think I will! Also, you can play on other servers.. just stick to certain ones. And be doing that you learn the reset times. I only use the same half dozen or so servers.. and I know when to log out safely every time :)

So the area was already looted, only 1 other player on.. you did not hear a reload sound, but you think it was a server hopper? I mean, was there a 3rd player that joined in?.. because all logic points to that other player was already there.

Actually there is... PLAY ON THE SAME SERVER ONLY. Do that, and you will learn the reset times.. and you can plan accordingly.

You know 10-24... that video showed me something. Sometimes just distracting a bandit, is almost as good as killing one. Like how you just kept getting shot at.. Im sure even when you fled the area the guy was still nervously looking for you.. Its just as effective as shooting the legs out of 1 player who is part of a 4 man group. You dont kill on that first shot.. you wound to distract and immobilize the group. :)

People gather around the coastal cities for the same exact reason you are making this post... the other areas have a tendency to be ghost towns. If you want action in the mid/northern areas.. you have to always play on full servers and always know how to read the signs of other life around. You enter a town and no looting is present, move on until you do find signs of life.. then track them. ;)

:) Hence my sig.

The solution is the players are invisible if you do not have direct line of sight? >.< I mean why even play 3rd person at that point unless you physically are forced to? I would never play that 3rd person.. ever. But I congratulate him on his work. It does do the job, its just not for me. I would just play 1st person if this was mass implemented.

I still do not get why people server hop.. It takes almost the same amount of time to run to a new town as it does to wait for the relog timer. And if you just keep moving, you end up with better loot chances and variation. Last night I ran from spawn point, to NWAF in a rather straight line and by the time I finished looting the NWAF I was absolutely fully geared. 35/40 hardcore server.. so no reason why people cant get the same results.

Interesting to see how people view the end game... I hope we get more votes over time to get a more clear view of how the community plays this game

Well.. its official: I am hungover. Damn bushmills.. will be the death of me someday :)

Thats #4 Caboose.. ;)

I swear it took me at least 3 minutes to figure out what you did Boneboys.. :lol: "Edited by Boneboys, Today, 12:16 AM."
