Two friends (bambis) getting held up by bandits but they were just talking for a bit. I spawned further up the road so ran down and said I'd save them. On the way, bambi with shovel running after me. Told my friends in teamspeak and they said to the bandits that I was coming (ruins all element of surprise but I had a plan). Said to help me get rid of him, I got closer but there was a decent distance between me and the shovel guy. They asked me to put my hands up and drop my clothes. They said I was clear and told me to get behind them. The bandits (one with mosin and another with m4) then slowly walked forward to engage shovel guy. Mosin guy was in front and m4 behind - ran straight at the m4 guy and knocked him out as the mosin guy shot shovel guy. Picked up the m4 and as the mosin guy spun round I peppered him with rounds. It only occured after that they were not bandits but heroes. But at least I was full geared - still feel bad.

It really bugs me that, if I'm a bambi I can kill 3 with my bare fists. Granted I might get hurt if they kind of surround me, but they still go down. When zombies aren't just a nuisance I dread to think how these guys are gonna cope.

If you are playing as a hero, collecting flares and dropping before "danger zones" would be a good alert system. Of course, anything you can drop can be taken away so bandits may well remove these flares. An idea none the less.

I had spawned in the west side of Electro (this is going back a while ago) and was running into town. Spotted a guy with a mosin geared to the nipples and in front of him was a bambi on his knees - handcuffed. I decided I had nothing to lose so set about a plan to help the bambi. After a little bit watching, waiting for the opportune moment - I ran out full sprint. The mosin guy had his back to me and I ran up and KO'd him. I quickly took his gun and as I was about to pull the trigger I heard "it was a test". It was too late though as it only registered after I applied pressure to my people killing LMB. I asked about the bambi but it wasn't a test, the guy was using it to avoid being killed. I searched through his loot and couldn't find keys so I apologised to the bambi and told him how to get out. I took the geared guys mosin and his assault vest and left the rest for the bambi when he eventually got freed (including an axe). Died not so long after which then began my next story It's quite long so i've hidden it - I have also provided a tl;dr at the bottom :)

I kept getting this last night as well, I was stripped off my clothes and was fully healthy. You've spawned under the bridge in Vybor (just south of the NWAF I believe).

What you said isn't, but flabbergasted is a word.

I still quite like it, it's certainly more dangerous that it had been. A lot more people up there recently as well. In terms of loot, it's not that decent but PvP is great :3

You are correct my man! They've completely revamped the whole area, turned it into a civilian airport (opposed to a military one). The route to Krastnostav has now also changed with it being up a relatively steep hill now. From the sounds of it, you may well know where you are now and will be able to navigate to your friend. If you are still stuck, send me a PM and I'll be able to help you (although it might not be for another hour as i'm still at work).

That is definitely 100% North East Air Field. I would head any direction and get away from there if you want to live. Where do you need to go to? Will be able to guide you.

I know these kind of posts are frowned upon - perhaps an 'Apologies and Gloating' sub-forum may be appropriate. To the guy in the bus stop in Berezino near the police station. I am incredibly sorry for stealing your items. I was killed in Novodimitrovosk and was running from Berezino back to scavenge any loot that remained from my body. Running past bus stop, see you (think you were just logging in). Noticed you had gear and gave you two right hooks to your jaw. As you were unconscious I took all your gear and ran off in the direction I originally planned. As I was running off I heard "Hello? Someone there?" Dem feels - clearly I haven't played DayZ long enough (despite 600+ hours). I have put your loot to great use, thank you and I'm sorry. ~ .#Kimo

He spawned in at the bus stop near one of the major firezones in berezino on a full server - if it wasn't me that took his stuff, someone else would have.

I'm returning some beans to you as you seem to have overdonated to some of my posts :)

I've ran from solo up to around 8/9 people. I feel most comfortable in a group of 3/4 (5 at a push). I've found it works best like this: (in a group of 3) 1 x Long Range Sniper 2 x SKS/M4 short range scope or ironsights (no acogs unless you can use them efficiently) (in a group of 4) 1 x Long Range Sniper (2 if you want to cover each other) 3 x SKS/M4 short range scopes or ironsights. In my experience groups larger than 4, comms start to overlap and people tend to talk for longer than needed. It can be quite messy, small group like the above everyone can easily update with new positions and cover accordingly. Group of 3 or 4 can quite easily loot through a town in about 10 minutes (depending on size of said town) and still walk away with enough loot to keep themselves going.

I guess, he wasn't a threat so didn't need to put him down (permanently).

Aren't you able to snipe into police station from the various high points around the area? (Factory at the shore for example) Getting punched out after killing that sniper could have very easily been desync. I'm not saying it was desync, but it was desync.

If anyone has a payday mask on - that's an instant KoS for me. These types of players are generally going to shoot you for no reason, three of them definitely suggest they are out for trouble. I wouldn't say you KoS'd. You needed to go somewhere, likely to come into trouble because of these guys and were unable to avoid them. End of the day though, KoS means nothing. It's a judgement call that is yours and yours only.

I've played just over 600 hours. In that time, i've only met a couple of these script-kiddies. Just play the game, if you encounter them just change server.

Although that may be true @Acher0n - if I am looting a town and close all doors behind me (both when entering/exiting), the second I see another set of doors open, I know that there is someone else about. If I am in an area playing the role of the bandit, I want it enticing as possible, so I will make the extra effort of ensuring all doors are closed. This also rings true that if you are looting through an area, a good example is west berezino (up near tank statue), if you are leaving doors open behind you as you go then that team of 4 bandits who are on their way to get into position for an ambush see that only 3 out of the X amount of doors are open on one side of the street, you might as well have a big arrow pointing to the building your in. You would be surprised at the amount of people I've ambushed in this fashion, sometimes a group of two looting a building come downstairs to see me sitting at the bottom, just waiting. If you are smart, use back doors and exit the same way.

For me it runs like a dream as well. My machine is relatively old (around 3 years). I run a Radeon 6870 Black edition which isn't exactly high end. I have used an FPS increase guide on steam community though that has improved my FPS by about 15-20 which does help in firefights in cities. (PM me if you want the link to it).

In before the shitstorm because reversing this will get you into walls. EDIT: I believe all these issues are still in the bug reporter. [in my own opinion]It's better to let people die stuck than have dozens more glass room glitchers abusing the faults in the game.

1. Log out somewhere where you're less likely to get spawn killed. 2. Close all doors behind you as you are entering/leaving buildings your looting 3. Scout out the area first, always be on your guard after the fact as well. 4. Expect the unexpected. 5. Don't run along roads (always to the side or in cover)

Maxes out at two - one button for each lung :P

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had this. I've crashed twice like this, my game froze and had to end it in task manager. Booted it back up and the resolution was auto'd to 1280x960 (or whatever). I heard a ping on my PC around 30 minutes prior so thought my Gfx card had died. After removing it and reseating it, still had the same issue. I found that the user interface options (what is resolution doing in there as well?) fixed the problem more or less, it still seems stretched out despite the correct settings being used (joining a server, black border right around the whole background image). Still resets all key bindings though which is a bit of a pain. Any idea what causes this crash and how to prevent it from occuring again?

This was back when glitching inside of the walls was incredibly common. As we had chosen NEAF as our defend location, you kinda have to fight fire with fire. It's the only way we were able to still enjoy the game without being forced out. They have since patched being able to glitch into these rooms (as far as I'm aware) so no need to do this. Looking through wall glitch is still there but I hope it gets removed as well as it does make the game unfair. I would of expected it to be fixed at the same time as getting into these glass rooms.

For those concerned with the outcome of the prisoner - he had actually logged out. We were going to let him go.
