Part of the negative aspects of a sandbox. You have to really get creative and even dedicate yourself to doing something outside of what is the most obvious. As such, I don't blame anyone for choosing to hunt players, or hunt players hunting players. It's the most obvious goal with the most instant gratification.

Log into server other than your own, die, and begin playing there. Set up challenges for yourself. How many ax kills can I get in cherno? Join a squad of medic players and help people. Start a feud with another clan. Go to the coast and be vulnerable helping new spawns out. Collect construction materials and build a base with it all. Take over a castle. I dunno, just guessing. It's not hard to load your tents with gear though when you control when your server restarts. Not accusing, just saying it's easy. Worst case scenario, play another game.

You knew it couldn't be your private Gilligan's Island forever, right?

I don't really blame anyone much. There's not a whole lot to do after getting geared. You have to work really hard to find a goal outside of hunting people. Hell, a lot of people make a goal of hunting people hunting people, and without people hunting people, the people hunting people hunting people would have nothing left to do but hunt people.

Shit just got real in this thread. Mondegreens bitch.

But you can and are. So what's the issue?

Very possible. I did this myself and had to re-repair it.

Ruh roh raggy

Respawn or like Bahhh said, shoot mil zombies.

I'm still busy looking for glass for mine, sorry. They are a lot of fun though, and there is no better way to travel really.

Freshly spawned choppers have a lot of repairs necessary. Usually you need a main rotor, scrap metal, 8 panes of glass, engine parts, and uhhh... I think that's it, to get it into full working condition. Try to fly it now, and you'll probably wreck it.

Nice to know now, haha. Didn't realize that. Thanks.

I've actually lucked out and found a chopper spawned fresh. My small group and I have had it for a couple days now, shockingly. Someone found it and tried to fly it, but simply blew it up in the process, but then it respawned in the same place on the next server restart. I assume it should be found or destroyed again any minute I'm not online, but such is life in Chernarus.

"jokes on you, I was only pretending to be an asshole!"

I'll try it if I am given the chance. I can't really say otherwise.

As long as I had fun. Death is only a pit-stop.

Clans/groups use them to dupe items. These camps are how I gear up every time I die. I don't play in a clan, but I know where many camps are so I can gear up like I am in one. Yes, it has killed a lot of the fun in DayZ, but I'm not going to creep around NW and where ever to try to gear enough to compete when they don't have to. Am I as morally bankrupt as them? Maybe, and I don't particularly care. I get geared and then pursue other goals, like building bases or keeping vehicles. When I first started DayZ, I used to get a thrill when I found a 1014 in a deerstand, but that all went away as soon as I stumbled on my first camp. Sniper rifles, machine guns, NVGs, Rangefinders, medical goods, etc, all spilling out of the tents. So I travel light and keep a list of server/locations of camps. If I need something, I stop in. I'm no noobhunter or anything, but while I'm farting around way north looking for vehicles and such, it helps. It needs to be fixed, big time. -edit- not all clans/groups use them to dupe items, incorrect blanket statement, I'm sure there are some super dedicated always online clans that manage to stockpile like this, I'm sure...

This would be really cool. Give some purpose to the rails. Doesn't have to go fast, just enough to have some fun on it.

Trust me, someone found it and took it.

wow, nice

Yep. It'll all be back after you're done raiding it at some point.

My very first camping tent I found. The disappointment was astounding. I had never seen one as loot before, and finally, I had one. NOPE. Also just today, a friend was looting my body after a fire-fight and munched my DMR.

Someone who would foolishly suicide by trying to fly a helicopter before learning how to fly them first. I guess? What's your point?

I just lost my helicopter today to a CoD kiddie who found it and tried to fly it. I wouldn't care if I lost the chopper really, but I logged in to find his body and wreckage. Don't take it if you can't fly it. I looked his name up on steam, his most played game is CoD and it's like 230 hours played. Go figure.
