Yeah uk180 is always night when we play, nice if we have nvgs but we have mentioned it alot and dont want to end up with hackers etc.... I would say 2 servers on each coast so UK and US.... so anyone can get a game with a nice ping and also day and night... we wont mention on this thread but in TS or on fogeyz.co.uk to allow us freedom from being stalked by hackers or the grim reaper ( at our age we have to expect him )

Yeah I think uk 108 was a good starting point for us to all meet up and see how it worked. We should in future limit it to a couple of others but only announce on TS so we dont get hackers or whoever gunning for us.... The other problem with 108 is its always dark when I am on so either I am stumbling around or losing people easily.... so other daytime servers would change the gameplay and less running through open fields

How did we get organised so quickly..... maturity and experience... or maybe the santogen helps yeah I do websites etc too so any help is always appreciated... we need to find out what everyone wants from it so we can get even more organised.....

Im around shortly to team up, will get on TS and see who is around Also.... www.fogeyz.co.uk

OH what would be funny.... get five of us on a server, all with bikes... then ride into cherno blasting Queen " I want to ride my bicycle" over direct chat....

Elektro..... no we are hardcore... we raid the chemists for sanatogen!

Def welcome to join us, its been a blast and made Dayz even more fun with a few others you can trust, we share any loot and we are trying to work together and get tents going and find a vehicle to go pickup other players alot quicker..... We did find a bike but Pomonkey decided to attack some sunflowers whilst riding it and seems flowers beat bike....

Yes I teamed up with a stranger a week ago, we were talking over direct chat, we mentioned how we need to be careful if we come across anyone else especially if they have a gun, voila 2 players come around a corner blasting, new found friend ends up dead, I let rip on one and the other DC..... so until in game we have a radio thats secure its best to use TS as you can arrange to meet others at a location

I would like to see zombies become more of a pain and make all players think before firing a gun. I mean if your in the woods and see another player then sure its pvp throughout. You step into Elektro and you know that players are a possible threat but zombies too, seeing 50 zombies around one building makes you debate going into it... or firing a shot would bring them pouring into the building you are in. This would bring it more in line with the movies, one zombie... easy.... 5.... pain but possible... 100.... major problem and it would mean two players in a town might work together first and foremost.... then upto them to shoot the other player for his stuff but remember.... Man is always the biggest monster of all

Was a blast with 5 of us, I think we realised loud guns and a town don't mix, never seen 5 old farts running so fast in all my life. I agree having a town would be a blast and with people on different timezones you could end up with a few fogeys on watch.I think once we get some tents and a vehicle it will be alot more fun when we group up. Else im going to be called running man trying to meet up with the others all the time. Just means I have to fire the loudest gun in the game so all the zombies know we have arrived

Not sure you GAVE them away.... like I held onto that guys bullet for him earlier...internally

Yeah Sula..... its done when its done...... just make sure you don't spend time doing just that and not coming in game..... us guys need help cause our guns are WAY too loud..... Whats that coming over a hill is it 20 zombies..... dang run......... damn no trees......

Well just had to tell you had a great night last night with PoMonkey ( who know will be called poo monkey forever ) and Coldbum on uk180.... met up with them via shoutbox ( link earlier in thread ) and proceded to upset alot of zombies and do lots of running around in the dark. Monkey got a nice set of NVGs.... his first time ever ( not that I have ever found them! ) and then what happens, sunrise so he has to wait to use them ;) Thanks guys for a blast and look forward to meeting in game again soon.. So to all the others reading this thread..... def worth meeting up with others on here and will be nice to have a few people to meet up with on game on a regular basis

You got hacked..... and before people say " WTF why can't they stop the hackers" Due to the nature of the MOD and Arma its not possible so just be aware you may die like that anytime, may fall from the sky and die, be thunderdomed or even be stalked by an invisible hacker and killed.... ## What will solve it "Standalone"

These are the things I want to do, I have found tents in the past but never got around to making the most of it, having a few team tents would make it ideal to assist players in need. I have also found a few vehicles in game and borrowed them but when I left the game I knew I might not come back soon enough to make use of it, so being able to let other fogeys know what server and where we could make sure we have a vehicle at times to go on missions or just have a laugh I also want to setup 20 fireplaces and light them up and see what happens.. I did it with 4 and was impressive from a distance... I would love to have all of cherno light up with fireplaces so people come on the night server and go wtf and then have a blast running around trying not to be seen Im coming in over the weekend, son has been ill so couldnt get online friday....

No, CAMO zimmer.... only problem is with my eyesight now, i put it outside and cant find it again.....

Yeah, something so people dont feel awkward making contact. I like the idea of older folks all ganging up on people.... oh by the way UK22 server has a vehicle in cherno.... one sweet zimmer frame.... I took it for a spin, was faster to walk but I couldnt resist the way I swaggered with the shiny metal frame.

So I am sitting on a hill watching the world go by and can see lots of zombies down at stary, wanted to practice my shooting so took one out.... no problem got him with a lovely headshot and then just waited.... few mins later one zombie started running towards me and I assumed another player had spooked him, I quickly realised its running to me and I got up and ran away, lost him behind some trees and stayed hidden. More zombies had run to him and then they all started heading directly to me even though they didnt have line of sight. I kept moving and losing and they would stop, wait 30 seconds then run direct to me even if they couldn't see me Never had this before, is it a bug or hackers? I felt I couldnt get away as they would just run straight to me en masse even if I hadnt spooked em

Ah the sweet caress of death, I have felt that many times and then nothing.... apart from lapping of waves on the shore ;)

Sula ( and all others ) how about setting up a separate website/forum for anyone interested in grouping or meeting up in game. ( I'm happy to setup domain, software etc ) It would allow us to have post messages on what server they will be on etc and also people could then post or update there own profile information saving you retyping etc... So for instance someone could post a message saying 8pm GMT, UK202 server cherno.... and a few fogeys could all meet up.... or how about a teamspeak channel so its easier in game to talk and find other fogeys , could be broken down into UK, USA etc and maybe even find a few servers we think are ideal and they could become a default game server to meet up on ( that's the one thing I miss about this game, the ability to easily team up with people unless its a clan I could just see a car full of fogeys coming over a hill to the rescue of a downed old fart :) ( we could all sing "WHATS THAT COMING OVER THE HILL, IS IT A FOGEY") And as Sula said... not to make it a clan or anything strict, just a way to all meet up, pass on tips or train new old fogeys into the ways of Dayz Thoughts?

I had the beach spawn a few times, since I used Dayz commander to update and launch the game I turned off incorrect versions and havent spawned beachside since.... try dayz commander and turn off incorrect versions etc... Im guessing you wont beach spawn again.

No, No and NO...... since the mod didn't give you a gun it means you have to be sneaky and risk getting attacked or shot. it taught me how to get in and out of a town without upsetting a zombie and if I did I learnt how to lose them.... Also without sidechat having no starting weapon has stopped the KOS for new spawns, you see someone, they have nothing so you assume ( and hope ) they arent hiding a gun in a backpack and you might team up, all have guns at start and no side chat.... boom boom boom

I have been hacked a fair few times when on this game. For a while I went on lo pop servers as I had a 26 day character and didnt want to lose it to some slimeball hacker but didnt mind getting shot fair and square, as it was a hacker went on a 6person server and threw us all in the air.. Other times I have been hacked its thunderdomed or dance party and I usually abort before the shooting starts. It even took me right to the airport to save me a trip. Now I go on higher pop servers when I can but I am fully prepared to lose my gear even to hackers and I just start again. its the flaw in the system and won;t go away so you either live with it or leave the game and wait for the standalone I think its worth getting now to give you a headups on the game before the standalone and I have no idea how many hours I have logged on it but worth every penny....

OH that is now my mission on DAYz, get the bus and party rock it

Little tip, don't eat lots of beans and then setup a fire in the game!!!
