You get too excited. It happens, but try to be more careful. We don't want you to explode next time :)

And SC isn't out yet. It's not even close.

In mod we had helicrashes. How about treasure hunt and rescue operations in DayZ SA? Once you obtained radio you can receive news about certain events: Rescue (minor event. once per several hours) You receive news about notorious (NPC) survivor who disappeared recently and his/her friends are asking for help. You get rough description (male/female; white/black/asian), gear carried (rifle/pistol/melee; food/tools/medical) and general route (headed from Kamenka to Zelenogorsk). Now depends on event you can find a dead body guarded by a horde of zombies, injured NPC that you can heal for a special reward or try to kill him/her and get gear by force (no special item though); get ambushed by NPC bandits or vengeful party; encounter some sort of special infected. Or another player participating in the same event :) Treasure hunt (normal event. once per 12+ hours) You get some tip over the radio about rich stash of loot discovered recently not far from certain location. You need to get there first, find a way to get past horde, find stash and manage to get away alive. Expect heavy competition. Turf war (major event. once per 24h) You receive news about several groups of NPC survivors/bandits that decided to fight over one of the major cities. They will shoot on sight and war might take for about an hour. NPC reinforcements will keep action going even if initial parties end up dead. Timing of the events can be different.

We experimented with bots on our dayz mod server. And it was quite fun. We managed to force them gather better gear and rearm themselves if necessary. Fighting for territory between ourselves (we have "bandits" and "sheriffs" in our community) and between bots was quite fun. That way there was 24/7 action on our server and nobody felt lonely.

That hooks me up!

Had no problem so far, carry 2 containers and one ammo box. They disappear on the ground but then spawn back after minute or so. But lost can of tuna forever just by moving it around the ground so I guess situation you described can happen.

Make sure you got enough time before restart, drop your stuff in a safe spot. Not too far but not too close to a spawn zone either. Hug a zombie then get back to claim your stuff. Profit. Just make it in time before restart, your loot does not despawn as of now. Restart or thief might spoil this trick though.

No. Walkie-talkie or handheld radios.

Guy enters the barracks. I got the bat and some starter stuff and he looks rather well equiped. But I heard him first and hid. Panic, trying to equip my bat. Can't swing while I'm crouching, dayum! Even more panic! Guy walks into the room where I'm hiding, panics too and start to equip a pistol. Guess he's got no ammo for his rifle or just got confused. I say *uck it and rush at him with bare fists. Hit him in the face and he's down. Continue to bash him in the head but he logs. Oh well, time to run. But expirience was priceless :lol:

I am yet to test how long it will take to steal someone elses posessions after fist in the face. They getting up slow, but not slow enough to let you wander.

Nobody logged, nobody attacking blindly. Just wat? Rotten food feast next time please :)

I like that idea. But there should be more than that...

You still shared. In some way. Not like somebody can loot you after you spawn... But still. Emotionally you shared, somebody felt quite happy. Point is - all fun at the coast. Go north and end up playing alone, bored.

Why you need all that gear if noone there? Go back to the beach and share. Sharing is good for health :)

Why do you care about what they say and what they think about you?

Aww, mod is a whole different story :)

My bet - you shot serverhopper.

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156761-dark-magic-wiggle/ I guess I'm a bit grumpy after watching video in the post above. Yeah. Agree with you about friends. Just feel sorry for such entertaining and agressive PvP person who was not afraid to rush armed guy and even knocked him down. That black woman deserwed some reward :) Sad ending in that regard.

And again somebody was killed for a great performance. Good job :(

Yes, but not going to happen. That's why I'm waiting for this option for private servers :)

Late night, just a few players on our server. Looting firestation in Cherno, hear steps, rush out with a crowbar. No one, empty. Probably bug. Go inside, gather loot and up to the third floor. Just got my first firearm in a form of first pistol with a clip and 15 bullets. Feels a bit uneasy sitting up there in the open but new pants does looks nice. Steps again, nah, bug... Steps on the ladder and the guy walks in. Sheeeeeat! Swing my crowbar and he back down to the 2nd floor. Arm a gun, he probably doing the same because he got some sort of rifle. He still there, hid behind the ladder. Not going to run. I need to prove that I mean business so unload almost full clip in his direction. Miss. Cold sweat. What do?! look outside, prone just in case. Crawl closer to ladder and look down again. Guy slowly walks behind the ladder and moves in awkward manner. I guess he tried to equip something... Oh well, unloaded last bullets and landed headshot. He is dead. Look around again. Clear! Move to a body but it disappear right before my eyes :(

I prefer to spray full mag but get guaranteed headshot rather than take chances with chest shots. FNX45 is great as a backup if you are like me bad with sniper rifles up in close.

Wrong server. And... Ignored. Never thought I had to use this option.
