same as "hells high" i reckon. not payed in a while, just getting back into it after replaying the mod. but i liked ferrying in guns and ammo at spawn areas just to see what happens when a group of new spawns stumble across them and greed takes them over. obvs when watched from a distance.

if you feel you need to kill, then kill. but a body is wiped 10 mins after with everything( according to new server cleaning), a dropped backpack lasts until the server resets. if i have read it right. i dont go to balota, so sadly ill never meet you in game swaee. and i have a backpack full of love that may make you turn to the light side. :)

maybe its a military region, they developed a string of DNA that went wild. maybe they were not thinking of civilian airports. would you use a major populace location as a bioscience lab? . if you were leader. . . or hide it away in the back of beyond? or in a military confined area? google "porton down" UK. right next door to porton is a main excercise area for uk army. no major international airports tho

Thank you for posting lootandlive. i use mosin no scope ( no 360's whilst jumping off a water tower yet). sorry i digress. With a mosin build you will need a pistol for cqc. or a bloody good axe arm. i guess this is why an M4 is the . . prefered weapon of choice. And looking at the debate on mosins at range . .i have a friend ( dont we all) that can headshot at 700/800( rough estimatation) meters with an LRS . non bipod. due to practice, learning lead in, and account for bullet drop. granted the zombies dont move, but players do. when he's online, i feel safe enough to go face to face with people and see if they need help.i know if they so much as twich, ill stand there in my backpack giving stuff out / bandageing and they will fall over. if they dont, i have to hear the word "unfriendly" and im out of there. The mosin,for me, is the perfect overwatch weapon.

"punch running" is the way to go atm. whilst using this feature you have no weapons up. if you encounter somebody, time how long it takes you to stop , choose weapon(hotkey) and be ready for action. is it better than running for miles with weapon out on a 30 man server that has 16 online and most will be at either newspawn area/cherno/electro/mil base? you also have (server permitting) 3pp and 2x alt key to sprint and look around to see whats going on. very handy when keeping the sun/shadow in a certain location, as in to use it as a compass.

@ mercules i totally agree with your post, but as i have had a few bevvies, ill pull up the nerd voucher i got with steam. the zebra stripes (black/white) effect (not affect) airflow. the black stripes attract heat, the white repel heat. thus little cyclones of air flow over its body creating cooling but your right , nothing to do with pouncing on other zebra . . or other animals for that matter

i wont post as long as you have, but play my char/role as a supplier. I take from the inner towns to drop at the coastal areas. food/drinks/meds/clothes. it keeps me busy whilst the game is under construction. and each time i try to loot from a different inner town to keep it interesting. i have only played the SA not the arma 2 mod. Due to the hours i keep, when i wake up a night time server is like an open chocolate box. 4am CET. so ill do my cycle of polana or dubrovka or berezino or krasno/NEAF/ svetlojarsk and then head south on the coast. so after i finish my irl work and house duties i can try and drop my lootings at solnichniy for newspawns to find. and im starting to like night servers due to it being the best wake up substitute for coffee. i dont bandit so to speak, but on weekends when some friends are online we will just group up and go have fun in electro or cherno. helping newspawns on the way through. and if any of us leave alive its a bonus :)

@nickH85 ,I like the way players determine in game rules on everything, at anytime,in every situation. @ all : yes i have been punched out when fully geared bandadging somebody, now i know to drop them on the floor and move back. i have been longshotted whilst standing in the middle of a field like an idiot in a group, i wont do that again. the list goes on, and yet the appeal and dare i say addiction to this game/alpha, IS that it is wide open. Anything goes. One day i may have a charming warm glow gaming experience doing and playing the game my way, but then the next day i could come across a different group playing it their way. adaption and learning is the key. as the game adjusts closer to where it wants to be, the player base adapt it to where they want it to be. i have no qualms on dying, i lose nothing but pixels. and my journey starts again. but the continuing need for people to have someway to tell foe from friend is ( in my eyes) false. Dayz (again IMO) is a survival game. not everybody that survives a zombie attack wants to sit around a camp fire signing folk songs with fellow non infected. which is why i dress to NOT be seen easily if i have to hightail it into woodland, i have a mosin to shoot zombies and bandits that might hinder my helping of others. im also guilty of being a military dressed chap that runs in a group to electro/cherno/NWAF to get loot , and to find a challenge when i have had a few ales. does that make me a bandit? sorry to rant(ish). good wine in spain and its late :P .salut :)

surely a bandit with a Mosin/LRS or M4/ACOG would have dropped you before you got close enough to see what additions his gun has?. surely Camo gear is the best way to camoflage yourself so your harder to be seen by a bandit and thus survive longer? and the gas mask just follows in with the "survival in an apocolyptic zombie disease environment" . Maybe some of your bandits are more newspawnish than you realise, with the current craze of punching the lights out of a geared up helpful guy and robbing him whilst he is unconcious. regardless of the fact he may have been busy helping out somebody. Im not saying everybody who wears mil gear is a saint, but then neither are the chaps running around in shreddies, not bothering to go looting, but just hitting everybody they see for there bounty. so, call me a helpful bandit. ill help when in a group, or the other guy is restrained, but get to close to me to soon and i will .. unfortunatly .. ventilate your skull for you, ill have a go atleast. whether your in full balistic/camo garb or a pink rucsac and baseball cap. for the record i wear mil gear/gasmask/big gun. and i dont bandit, i stalk for loot inland then drop it into newspawn areas. food+drink mainly, but i have cleaned my inventory of handguns+bullets/axes/bandages at times. so stop judging/assuming on clothing, and start interacting and asking. happy surviving :D

bookmarking this , it keeps moving :/

probably coincidence. or just an uncanny likeness. but when somebody suggested joining the dots for a symbol ... http://i.imgur.com/GdQNnyM.jpg In that image i see the constellation Orion. http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/files/2009/12/orion_Large-e-mail-view.jpg

get used to dying, the game is more fun when you start taking chances.

@ jonah_hobbs i sometimes get in there and there is nothing of value, and if i have picked up two sidearms on the way ill drop one on one of the stairwells so at least the next guy in gets something for the trouble. i find it very nerve racking going into this place, but isn't that the nature of the game?.

i have never fired a real gun in my life, so ill draw on my limited knowledge using gaming. COD1 ( yeah i know . . i played COD 1 - but it was before it went stupid so its viable) the springfield rifle used a 5 round clip. after discharging all rounds you could clearly here the clip ejected . . PING ( the clips holds the rounds together). a tommy gun however used a magazine, which was individually loaded rounds within a cartridge(magazine). thats my take on it, hopefully ill never have to know first hand.

how do i do this, i have 3 canteens in my inventory,i can assign one into my hand slot and fill it no problem, but trying to select the second canteen is proving troublesome. if i try to drag a new canteen in to my hand space in bottom center "hand" slot on inventory screen it mearly changes postion with first canteen in bag,but wont let me select 2nd. when deleting canteen from tool bar and selecting something else (axe for example) then drop second canteen on tool bar it selects the first (now filled ) canteen. it does the same and jumps to first canteen. Am i only supposed to have 1 canteen i can fill? im slightly bemused on this. do i need so many canteens? im tending to fill the one and just drink from ponds/wells regardless . but surely i should be able to fill all the refillable containers i have?
