Hehe, can't wait to tell all my buddies to KOS this place, gonna be epic!

LOL!

Not impossible, more like 99.9% chance of being non-friendly. My 2 buddies and I were having a hardcore shootout with some other randos on sniper hill above Elektro and this random dude full decked out sneaks up behind my buddy and asks him what's going on/and if my friend is friendly. He could have easily taken my buddy out with one shot but he didn't. Too bad for him though, I came up behind him when he was voice chatting my buddy and I shot him in the head. We needed his mosin and long range scope.

5 min wait is not really that long lolz. Tbh, there's no real need to continually do server hoping. Just go one ONE empty or very little populated and hit up one the major towns or military base and you should be good to go. And, when you think about it, waiting 5 minutes is not nearly as long as running to the airfields from any major city :rolleyes:

Possible, but HIGHLY unlikely.

The damn sound bugs alone make me jump ALL the time (splitting ammo, reloading, opening a soda, eating - except you know they're sound bugs when they don't make the full sound, only a split second of it), especially during an intense fight when I'm on edge.

I want to use colored text too! Welcome do DayZ (to those that dislike the new combat log system). Don't want to spend another 5 minutes to run to a safer area like a dense forest in bush? Your fault if you die within that 30 seconds. Want to YOLO and log out in the middle of a street? Your fault if you die within that 30 seconds. Found a safe spot but still died within that 30 seconds? Your fault, should have logged out in a safer area. Still found an uber safe spot but still died within that 30 seconds? Your SOL. Welcome to DayZ. I don't see any other ways to argue this and get the main point of DayZ logging system across. This is by the far the simplest and easiest fix for combat loggers and server hoppers and I love it.

My guess is that he was being sarcastic...but this is the interwebz, so he could actually be serious :huh:

Bumpin it! Had a crazy firefight 2 nights ago in Elektro, I got owned though :p. We're workin on some of the lag issues on the server so bear with it (if it hasn't been fixed already xD).

QFT. If you paint your mosin, bugs it to only 1 bullet lolz.

Bumpin it!

The youtuber must not realize that the game is still in Alpha, and it's still early Alpha imo :rolleyes:

IP for our server is: 64.79.106.159:2402 Don't forget to add us to your favorites!

Then you don't really know that person :rolleyes: Imo, betrayal amongst real friends shouldn't happen. If it does, they were never your friend to begin with lolz. Someone you just met with the last week on these forums to play with are not your friends and you should be cautious among them. But like others said, betrayal is part of the game, but imo it's that person's fault for being betrayed to begin with.

Lol! Love how you put your encounter in a story, very entertaining!

Play with people you actually know, simple as that. Another possible route is if you are fresh spawn/brand new, get some stuff, join a group/squad/clan in the recruitment area with minimal stuff. So, when you initially join them, you really don't have worth anything to be betrayed upon. By the time you are geared out with that group, you've gotten to know them for awhile via TS/ventrilo/mumble/etc so they prob won't betray you since you all should be geared out. But I recommend the latter...

3 things that I think are more urgent: 1) fix bugs 2) fix sound bugs 3) fix rubber banding.

My group and I used to roll with the Payday masks because it was very easy to identify each other because we saw no one else using them, but my buddy suggested we avoid all masks as they tend to make you look dangerous. As for visual clues, we always take a glance of what they are wearing and if they have a weapon. If they do, we will approach them very cautiously and try to apprehend him and find out what's going on. If it's a group of armed guys, we tend to start a firefight :D. If they are fresh spawns or people with just some gear and melee weapons, we tend to close in on them and just say hi/talk to them and give them some stuff. Character setup: Pretty simple, M4, vest, pants, hunter's backpack, aviator glasses and a black bandana. My group and I run with no colored shirts (white undershirt is the standard shirt) to easily identify our group and we avoid wearing masks and helmets and we tend to wear black/green clothing. The white shirt does stand out a bit, but with a vest on, it kinda covers it but you can identify us by our shoulders. Bandit, Survivor, Murderer? I think it's a combination of all 3. If you are shooting us, we shoot you. If you leave us alone, we leave you alone (however, we may take some of your stuff but we won't kill you hehe).

I honestly think the "hero" idea is kinda of dumb. I have NEVER come across a person or group that has offered to help me with gear OR asked me where I got shot at. ALL groups and people I have come across or fresh spawns and people out to kill me. I always roll on populated servers so yeah, I have yet to see someone helpful. It's hard to tell if a person is a bandit or not in this game when EVERYONE is cautious and WILL shoot. If I was solo and had a gun and I saw a group of guys with guns. My first thought is to either hide, or shoot at them. Because 99.9999% of the time if I approach them with a gun, they are gonna shoot me and take my gear or handcuff me and take my gear. My group of friends and I aren't bandits, but ANY PLAYER we come across geared or semi-geared, we tell them to stop, drop, and roll and we take their weapons. There really is no "bandit" in this game. It really is survive or die. I guess the only "bandits" I would consider are those KOSers on fresh spawns, but that's about it. The point being, I hope the DayZ peeps fix other stuff more worthwhile...this can wait.
