AtR (DayZ)

@FallenSurvivor777 Couldn't risk them flying away =P @burritoman259 Yeah, coyote backpack with a DMR in it for my friend, other than that, we're sorted, ghillies aside.

Hello fellow bandits. As of 30ish minutes ago Make76, Facey and Blitzer[NL]* of UK 7 server no longer are in possession of their Huey. It was dark, me and a friend of mine were looting in Cherno for a backpack for him. We decided to check the Fire Station to see if one might've spawned there, but unfortunately, or so we thought, it didn't. Minute later we decided to check the supermarket and something unexpected happened... A huey violated Chernogorsk' airspace and was circling above the fire station(200-300m away at any given time). Looking at it and thinking how to prevent this outrage, my friend reminded me that I had an AS50 in my backpack we looted from a group of players just the day before, on the same server, UK 7(props for not ghosting and playing it fair: Crunkit, m4rc12 and Graeme). The ammunition I had was for AS50, not the M107, which meant that a single shot to the engine block would take it out. My friend kept me updated on the range to target while I've waited in the Fire Station tower for the tresspasser to slow down and when he did, to turn away or prep for landing, I took my shot, one shot, right to the engine block. And the rotor sounds started to fade, the pilot and one of the gunners ejected from the chopper while the remaining crew member(I'd assume Make76, since he was the first to die) remained in the descending aircraft, firing his machinegun. The two ejected crew members did not live long, as they were killed seconds later either by falling to death or helicopter explosion(lost line of sight at that point). Citizens of Chernogorsk rejoice! While myself and my friend draw breath, no aircraft will be permitted above our beloved city! P.S. My friend did get a coyote backpack from one of the bodies before putting them to ground, to honor the fallen.

Whilst this sounds fantastic, might I point something out, I don't know if you've thought about it but anyway, here we go. Will there be strict enforcment(even upto server blacklisting if needed) of admins naming their servers correctly(ie. having the timezone/having a correct timezone in its name)? You get situations when you join a GMT(or any other tz for that matter) server with in-game time of, let's say for example, 10PM, while in actual GMT timezone the time is earlier than that. Or servers simply not having timezone in their name, in which case, you end up joining to see what's the time and if it doesn't suite you, leaving. If the system is going to be tracking logons and logoffs, then this would be considered server hopping/alf-f4ing when you really aren't doing any of those.

If you're actively playing during 0400AM GMT to 1000AM GMT, then I might be interested

I'm still looking. :)

There were tons of warnings that shit's gonna get wiped with 1.7.1.5 release. Do some research.

lol @ hardcore pvp snipers on a server with 3DP: ON xD

VSS Vintorez is not in the list of allowed weapons in DayZ I believe.

Not to be too obvious, but other players also "spawn" medical supplies, if you catch my drift ;)

People saying that starting without a weapon are useless. It's as easy as with a weapon, just needs a less retarded approach to the game.

Please forgive me, for I have sinned, I did not use the search function. Could be a good addition to implement the ability to drink water out of ponds/water pumps, since it's the same water you utilise in your water canteens. Thoughts?

You can use a water pump to fill up your water canteen, apart from that there's nothing you can do about it, although the possibility of drinking out of it, including ponds, would be awesome.

I, too, would like to know.

Rather simple, for the killing part, 1) He has stuff I could use. 2) He will not use my stuff, because I'll kill him. As for starting new, I generaly check isolated sheds and deer stands to arm myself, only then I attempt to move into a city.(Sometimes, even in 1.7.1.4, you aggro shit through walls, and whilst unarmed, it turns out badly). I don't find starting new and weaponless too hard, it's just annoying :)
