I'm hoping some sort of discount will be in order if you actually own ARMA II CO or ARMA II and OA. Good to see it happen tough :)

Actually, either head in to cherno/elektro/balota airfield, if you spawn there, take what you can, then GTFO, oor just get out of doge and head for a barn. Finding a hatchet is probably a good "start" tbh. Iv'e died once since the "no gun" patch, and manged to get a hatchet, and then did what I just suggested, Now Iv'e been alive over a week :P

Current state of community + bigger servers= no thanks

Hit me up if you need an escort or something, can deal with skype/vent :P I'll pull a few "night shifts" myself this week so to speak (unemployed and bored to death) Only "problem" I can think of is the lack of global comms but, I guess someone might post here asking for help / Baiting :P "ex-soviet states do not do medics....the ex-soviet states medic you." I lol'd

Well as stated : Shooting mechanics are more of Arma-II engine thing, and would probably be tricky to change in DayZ ,only option I can see is changing it in a beta-patch, but that would piss off the Arma-II community like hell I'd bet :P But yeah would be a nice addition, Arma 2 has quite good ballisitics already but wind would add some more fun :)

Just beware of some/someone contacting you, may or may not be a "Bandit" trying to set you up :P That's just how the community is..................... Eve-online with zombies

EvE Online, nuff said :P (Heart pumps every time in PvP, even if you have been in a gazzillion fights) Then again you usually have a some "ISK"/more ships to fall back to if you get popped. And oh you can't DC and hope to live (agression timers :P)

Suggestion: Having a radio = access to one form of "global chat", or rather anyone on the same frequency in a certain radius (a few KM?) can hear you. Would be easy to set-up a "standard" Frequency used for chatting. (Community-wise) More on topic, it still feels like direct-chat is broken (even if it isn't) cause "friendly!" does nothing :D This however is a problem with the community *cough*

I actually had a "fight" in elektro 20-30 mins ago. Um, I were in the firestation (the one furthest to W, "facing" Cherno) and slipped by a couple of zed,s started hearing alot of shots going of nearby, so I ran upstairs and hugged a corner, trying to ID the shooters. The gunfire started to quiet down, and I thought "okay either someone is dead, or just shooting zeds" Now the second I moved, some guy started firing on me (missed 4 rounds, they hit the glass-panes and the wall) I was a the top floor of the firestation, had a rough idéa of where he was shooting from. First off I said "friendly!" in D-chat, no response, threw a smoke nade that landed badly on the 2nd floor of the firestation. But used it anyways as a "fake-out", then I just waited halfway up the stairs between the 2nd-3rd floor. A head popped up, I fired a few shots from my Makarov, he died. Then I heard more footsteps, so I reloaded, and a 2nd guy came up, he got 1 shot off on me, then he died. Bandaged myself, and waited around for more footsteps, all clear, checked the bags/gear, not much, some spare ammo etc, one of them had a M1911 and 1 clip, looked like they had just respawned like I had a couple of mins ago. When I'm about to head down the stairs, *bam* hear a nade followed by AK fire pretty damn close by , and a guy comes running up, I shot him as well, same deal there just makarov and some food. Then I threw a smoke in the vauge direction of where the AK fire came from, and legged it. Now, someone tried to kill me first, and I identified myself as "friendly" on D-chat, AFTER they tried to put a bullet in me, and got no response, but I still feel a bit bad about the whole thing, for all I know, the guy with the AK (which I never killed) was the one who tried to kill me from the start, and these 3 guys perhaps would not have killed me, given the chance.

Name: Farris Experience with DayZ: a few days playing, got the basics down (avoiding zeds, avoiding to use an AK/revolver in the middle of a town) Are you willing to work in a team: Yes, teamwork is something I enjoy/want Are you comfortable with the controls: Yupp, played Arma before so i'm used to it Do you have a mic: Yupp Are you willing to use said mic on Skype/Vent/Teamspeak: Ofc Side note: I'm not based in the US, so I may have a slightly higher ping than you guys.

This about sums up how I feel about the state of the game/community right now. Sick and tierd of paranoid/dicks, who shot you on sight, so guess what you become one of them (unless they respond to direct channel).

Well from now on out, Iv'e adopted the same damn stance as everyone else seems to have.... Shoot on sight. (unless they respond on direct chat) But yeah iv'e gotten shot one to many times by dicks/paranoid guys now. Heck I got killed about 5 mins ago, up at Green mountain, some dick decided to kill me.. Not even a "friendly?" or a "get out or get shot". So in my eyes, everyone is fair game now, unless they respond to direct chat. I'll probably end up as bitter as everyone else and just start to shoot on sight soon.
