got a couple questions for you guys... Do you have a server or what's the location of the server that you typically play out of? When do you typically group together?

Any idea why the Taviana 1.5 download on DayZland.EU seems to end at 130 megs. I can't find any other mirrors either.

Definitely come and check you guys out since i'm an aging, partially grey, 37 yo gamer myself. In game name is Hunnicutt... as in BJ Hunnicutt. I think you'd need to be at least mid 30s and seen a lot of MASH reruns to understand the name.

Hi there, I'm a returning player but still pretty new, looking for a MATURE West Coast (US) group or server. Anyone have any recommendations?

Considering i've only ever come across 1 person in-game that was friendly, and 99 that were hostile... i don't really see the point of currency. i might if there were an NPC outpost, but i doubt that will ever happen. I might also see a point if there was incentive to establish contact with other players... but as of now i stay FAR away from other players.

i would imagine these would have to stay on the roads. i don't think you'd get very far pushing a shopping cart through gravel or a cow pasture irl. they also make a terrible racket. not ideal in an apocalyptic situation. i'd stay as far away from them as i possibly could but if you would like drive one through Elektro, by all means, go ahead.

happened to me too. first i though i was crazy. not sure if this has anything to do with it but i seem to be teleporting back to a pond where i was trying to fill my canteen with no success. after repositioning and attempting to fill about 25 times, i gave up. could it stem from some bug in inventory management?

yep! totally ALTHOUGH... I'm sure ghillies weren't designed with the bigger packs in mind. Ghillie is a snipers uniform and they tend to travel light. i think anything bigger than an alice should see some animation. checks and minuses! if you don't want to sacrifice stealth with a huge pack on, you should be able to throw it in the bushes and come back and grab it but risk someone coming across it if you don't hide it well enough. additionally though, I don't think a big pack should sacrifice your stealth with zombies. they don't attack packs when they're sitting in a loot pile. if anything.. if you're wearing a ghillie you should be able to spook the zombies and have them run away from you ;)

i like the dynamic of no gun. i think you're more likely to team up with someone you come across when you both don't have a weapon. you can't shoot each other so you don't. it gives you a collective goal. If you did spawn off with a makrov and one clip... someone could bassically smoke you out with what shots they have, replace the clip they just wasted, take your bandage and mosey along the trail. although i do own a gun, i think most people don't. i think it's more realistic to spawn without one.

i think something like... if you can find the parts to fix the radio tower and base station, then the radio will work for radioing out for a drop. then you have to hoof it to the drop location and wait, or make it there and put down a smoke grenade in the proper location. It brings up some other issues like treading the terrain to get there quickly without dieing. also doesn't stop anyone else from seeing the plane drop the supplies and trying to launch an assault on you while you pick through it all. seems like an awesome quest.

WHEEL BARROW too!!!! carry some extra gear. lol

agreed! irl you could start a house on fire with a flare... a match - sure but it'd take a min

maybe a little off subject ,but i saw a video where the character moves his hands above his head... sorta like a simulated jumping jack (minus the jumping)... anyone know how to do that? for the life of me i can't find that video again either.

couple of things i learned abotu the update from spawning without a gun.... RUN! go up a hill. run through a long building. the zombies are much easier to lose now... they wont chase you forever and you can go prone and hide from them if you get enough distance and line of site broken. pick up emtpy cans and bottles! throw them. since you have the extra room now, carry them around. it works.

i think this is more about a continued journey rather than a destination. There's nothing that would make you leave Chernarus if staying is your preference. On another point... it's not about gaining levels as a show of expertise or accomplishment as much as it is about crossing a bridge by the means required to cross it. if you want to bring up you blood, you get a transfusion or get a knife and gut and animal, cut some wood with a hatchet and use matches to start a fire and cook the meat... why not a vehicle for an end means. Even in a model like this, nothing is to stop a bandit from hitching a ride in an open seat and murking the whole crew that gave him a ride for all their equipment.
