Everyone was stuck up on CDF territory... ( see Arma2 storyline for more info ) We still had fun aggroing those huge mobs of infected in the appartments.

With the scarcity of ammo ( especially 5.56 as we noticed so far ) coming in stable soon enough I think the loot runs will change drastically. Loving it as many of us tend to now go for weapons easier to supply and maintain.

Yesterday, US 0-2 on experimental 45/50... cherno was empty and loot everywhere. We wondered if there was an event of sorts going on somewhere because the West was pretty much empty

Yes, i understood the idea. Still i maintain my chaotic way of travelling. Love getting distracted by stuff and derail from the previous path. As a group we do differently but our agenda is our agenda and places where stuff spawns are no secret. As a group is more important to setup a rendez vouz point rather than a loot route, as usually if everyone spawns at the same time, we'll be 9/10 of the time in 2 man teams. So come what may from every town in the way, we'll take it and proceed to the meeting spot. And that doesn't mean necessarily the shortest route. My personal favourite will always be Svetloyarsk albeit out of the way. Love the town and the supplies are abundant. It is a hard nut to crack and control even with a big group as the layout of the town is very unlike the others.

Don't discard the power of communication. EVER !Many groups being formed originated in game. After some days playing together, and a few Steam invites, eventually the group gains momentum. There you go. A new clan is born. Nothing can be done to improve a player's innate communication skills.

No fixed routes. Every day is different. Carpe diem.

A mountain backpack has a rigid spine rest all along it height. It is not made to be folded. You may though reduce its size given it is empty. A IRL 85 litres backpack can be reduced to a 60 litre. Still it won't fit a smaller backpack due to the lengthy spine rests. A taloon can be folded to a third of its size given only the rigid bottom. Same with the hunter backpack. Still i'd like to see the mechanics added. Won't affect me directly, as I carry the tools to craft one backpack if needed, and that's only 5 spaces.

well coded :) thanks for showing.

Until the experimental build goes stable we @ TMK won't be touching stable. Experimental is smooth and with a great deal of bugs and exploits fixed. Also there is always action everywhere. There are some issues... alpha issues, but it is worth all your time for sure.

First of all... 1PP or 3PP ? It is a world difference, not because of the advantages but because of how you can play stealthy. As Tommy said above, there are no rushes. Take your time, make mental notes of the cities layout, give names to places, do different runs every time you enter a city, use several avenues to enter each time you go there and always, always have a fall back point to safety. All in all, better to lose 5 minutes going through cover than rushing the open to grab a easy loot. Look over the shoulder a lot. Make pauses a stay put and listen... sounds are as important as view range.

Threat level is not a constant. It rises and drops depending on the place, action being taken. For example, 3 simple encounters where only 1 resulted on a summary execution, all happened in Elektro on Exp. branch, HC mode. Had just finished checking the school for supplies when I hear zombies everywhere and then a voice, quite nervous, telling it was coming in and no to shoot. Well, I did not shoot. Actually the survivor was in a tight spot, he had herded a lot of zombies and I proceeded to knock them off. He say many thank and as I was feeling no threat at all I actually gave him a spare axe. ( I usually don't leave weapons behind for anyone. I either throw them into some dark wood. Axes I tend to carry them with me ). He went his way I went mine towards the coast when... ... again a new spawn was running away from a zombie mob. For a flash split second I thought about breaking his leg and leave him there, but I was mentally sick that day and helped him out. Fantastic scene was that a zombie whore had climbed to the storey above, and as we were on the street she gets literally slinged out of the upper storey wall into the street...bam, Z dead. I wished him a safe journey. Probably I'd kill him in the future, but for now he was no threat at all. Gave him some food and let him go on his business. But then... the opposite happens. I usually "patrol" the city. I don't help nor do I kill. I just do whatever I feel it is correct for me to survive. This female comes out of a corner right in front of me, she only notices me as I run to her, right in the middle plaza. Eventually I ask her to come with me - my mission that day was to grab some locals for interrogation. She flips the bird and before she can return the arm to idle she receives a double trigger buckshot in the chest and face. This are the anomaly stories. Two I did really help them, I had nothing to gain, threat level was really low. The last one was simply a KoS out of respect.

Pretty sure he went on a gunrun to help a buddy. Glad you wasted his face. Damn arms dealers.... :lol:

ah well a bit of Zen... I tried to KoS the critter, but no... I just could not be moved to do it...

No fixed setup is our choice in TMK, we roll as we go. At the moment the scarcity of ammo and bug fixes on experimental hive, we make sure everything is vital and learn how to adapt to new guns really fast. The Blaze really getting a spotlight. Shotguns are my personal favourite, but I do not mind having the SKS as well. Any pistol will do but the Magnum makes me feel more warm inside. As I said, no fixed team setups, but half will be front liners with a medic and a few others giving mid range support with a medic as well. Sniper ? Sure. Best spotter ever.

DayZ is the purest carpe diem digital entertainment. Come what may, one life at a time, one day at a time... Maybe in the future we see things more... organized, but the struggle for power and control will be even more fierce.

RP'ing... He lost it man. Who knows whom he is... maybe he lived nearby and saw the most attrocious stuff... family getting killed...zombies eating the neighbours entrails... you know... pure madness. He just goes nuts and kills everyone the worst way possible... he doesn't trust anyone as anyone can be a damn infected bastard. Out of Game context No idea what he is up to but you got unlucky. Great that you played along. Don't take it too serious.

Generally speaking a fresh spawn is a killer that got killed and is restarting his career. He might not be, but no one can know for sure. Lone Wolf KoS snipers are simply dregs, good for nothing. We ain't a morally correct group and we don't discriminate but take good pleasure finding these little snakes stuck up in the tunnel vision. The situation the OP posts... well... it is harsh indeed. Wouldn't mind blasting the sucker with the double Tarantina.

No emails. Setup a proper meeting place - Elektro Church if i may advise - get in game, meet up and let's see what comes out of it. Word of mouth won't buy you a trader reputation.Plus many did setup their "trade stalls" open in the street for anyone to pickup the stuff they needed. Nothing was asked in return but anyone could leave something as a token of appreciation. Was great to see and most armed fellows left them be without harm. What makes your proposition different ? That is what most people are curious to know and you still don't answer that indirect question.

Most want you to come meet at a determinate place at a determinate time along with your security detail so we can assess the ... strength of the investment. No throwing investment without checking how solid the "company" is. P.S. - on Experimental please, for obvious and already stated reasons.

Please, come ASAP, after 20 GMT to Khelm. Bring armed bodyguards please... for security measure. I expect the trade meeting to happen on Hardcore Server in Experimental branch ( to make sure you are not duping the items ). I'll be wearing a simple grey checker shirt, black jeans and a anzac hat. Thank you for your services. :ph34r:

Yep, I see your point. But if you get in a tough situation where two armed groups meet, then health and healthcare takes emergency levels. Checking pulses, applying Epipens or Defibs, bandaging, cleaning wounds, painkillers, etc. You cannot dettach frontline men to come back and help the others, especially when non of the groups wants to leave the place. The whole chain of reviving someone one takes time, is not anymore a simple matter. We need that to give away to specializations of Survivors. Day by day survival is slow paced and can be managed alone IF you find the correct stuff but you won't be able to COVER all scenarios. You will need someone to help you eventually, and I like that philosophy.

Technically is an exploit of a unintended result. Glad it is fixed.

Large. More opportunity for interaction of all types.

It is. Experimental build has it fixed already :) Easy mode for most of the groups is over. You either played it proper or you going to have a hard time after it goes stable. GL G.I. Joes.

Gather your community and make your safe zone, I suggest any major population hub in a populated server... by whatever means necessary. No need to develop something that the players can already do for themselves.
