    ok, another silly question

    I'd say that as long as you have the map in your inventory it's more immersive to look at one on your phone or ipad.

    ok, another silly question

    Lucky for me I had 2 semesters of Russian in college.. As far as the names matching the maps, most of the towns, at least the larger ones should have bilingual signs anyway like this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/E95_ie_M20_highway_sign_in_Leningrad_oblast_Russia_towards_Luga_and_Pskov.jpg/640px-E95_ie_M20_highway_sign_in_Leningrad_oblast_Russia_towards_Luga_and_Pskov.jpg
  3. I found this to be especially bad the more crowded a server is.

    Signs to tell if someone is hostile

    Yeah, uh-huh, sorry but since they don't respect my space or style of play and insist on including me in some reindeer game I don't want to play I shoot them if they come anywhere near me.

    Don't care one little bit how nice you think you are.

    Signs to tell if someone is hostile

    If they have no pants on and are wearing some kind of mask, just shoot them.

    What clothes do you wear for fashion alone.

    I have always had an affinity for the riders jacket. Just wish it was a bit more durable, I've had hoodies that last longer than the riders jacket does. I almost always will sport an OD ball cap or a Pilotka when I have one. If we could push the police caps back on our heads I'd wear that, as it is now it makes you look like Barney Fife. I usually prefer an OD tactical vest when I can find one along with OD pants, a Gorka Autumn Shirt and brown military boots. We need drop down holsters for the pistols.
  8. I have a bad habit of breaking every chem light and lighting every flare where ever I find them. I just wish you could see lights from further away, seems the light bubble is much too small.
  9. Ever been to Oahu? A little bigger than Cherno but we have it all here, Pearl Harbor, Hickam AFB, Schofield Barracks/Wheeler AAF and K-bay for the jarheads. We used to have more, look at the old Barbers Point, Ewa MCAS and Bellows Field too
  10. Or fix the hot key. R works fine with pistols and rifles but, for some stupid reason, that frigging F key reloads rifles with magazines but not pistols. Drives me nuts when I lose a 75 round drum mag because I thought I was supposed to be opening a frigging door.
  11. For a number of reasons, my red dot, butt stock and light for an M4 are stored with my magazines in a pelican case and are not on the weapon itself. Mostly to protect them from wear and tear..

    The Curse of Green Mountain

    i have been giving this some thought. I now believe that there is a bioweapons lab facility in Chenarus but not that it was at Green Mountain. That is a red herring, the lab, most likely, is hidden in plain sight, maybe at one of the hospitals or under one of the Blue Clinic buildings. I am now coming to believe that Green Mountain was actually the home of a Soviet era late 1950's early 1960's facility dedicated to the study and implementation of psychic phenomenon such as, mind control, telekenisis, remote viewing, etc. The Soviet version of "The Men Who Stare at Goats" if you will. Possibly it was the preeminent site for the Soviet mind control experiments that prompted the CIA's MK-Ultra program. I have heard rumor that the first assignment of a young, freshly minted KGB Leiutenant named Vladimir Putin in 1976 was to eliminate..... er I mean close this Facility and to dispose of... err I mean reassign the personnel stationed there..
  13. I spawned in Olshcha and am running around when a fullly geared dude come up behind me, I see his weapon animation and he just can't get his rifle equipped. I speak to him about this and ask if he is just going to shoot me outright, his voip doesn't work, he says he doesn't have a weapon up, I tell him not for lack of trying, I can see you trying to bring the rifle up. He has the cancel bug and lucky for me, I think the fact I saw him took away the thrill of a sneak kill because I got as far from his lame ass as I could pretty quick after that.

    Definition of Bandit vs Murderer?

    In theory I respect this, but there are some that require everyone to play how they do and refuse to respect how others might wish to play. Thus you get the bandit/masochist types that get vaginal sand with people who refuse to play along.

    DayZ Zombies, an attempt to diagnose the zed condition

    Well, there is a whole heck of a lot more to be done to the backstory. Why are there no police or military roadblocks? Where are the mass graves? How come we have not seen the spontaneous memorial walls and bulletin boards asking if you have seen this or that person? No directions to loved ones to meet here or there. No one, in all of Chernarus, it would appear so far, made any attempt to reinforce their home to shelter in place.

    DayZ Zombies, an attempt to diagnose the zed condition

    I believe that you are mostly correct, however, I am fairly sure that it is in the cards that it will be possible to become sick and maybe even infected in the future, they just haven't got that far yet..

    DayZ artifiacts in Real Life

    Lol, as long as you have that on I think everyone on the entire map would be safe from zeds.

    It's a DayZ Miracle

    Fresh spawn in the middle of no place about 2-3km from the coast, south of Berizino about 5-6km. I get chased by 2 hoppers and one of the female zeds, I see a pig, I run past the pig, zeds go after the pig and stop following me. It's a miracle I actually saw a pig.

    Why would you leave the North-east corner? Ever?

    Because you can't get a nice Pilotka in the NE, that's why.

    Ella's standalone guide

    I think the seagulls make zombie noises too. I have found SKS and AKM in cars too

    Mining stones with a pickaxe

    Unlike wood and trees I don't think you mine off of just any rock you find. I believe it has to be one of the smaller rocks in the fields and by the roads.

    The lone wolf

    Lately, I have been running around and breaking every chem light and lighting every flare I find in place. Just to look at the pretty lights at night. I don't put out my campfires either.

    PLEASE HALP!

    If it was me, I'd do this travelling on a low pop server, make the meet up, then move to a high pop server.
