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.

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

The random and constant noises in this game annoy me.

I found this to be especially bad the more crowded a server is. -
Signs to tell if someone is hostile
barnabus replied to natelawrence's topic in New Player Discussion
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
barnabus replied to natelawrence's topic in New Player Discussion
If they have no pants on and are wearing some kind of mask, just shoot them. -
What clothes do you wear for fashion alone.
barnabus replied to meat pie's topic in General Discussion
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. -
Forget police/fire stations. Clocktower is where its at.
barnabus replied to Acher0n's topic in General Discussion
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. -
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

Anyone like the idea of a more complicated reloading system?
barnabus replied to MONKAYPOO0's topic in General Discussion
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. -
Should weapon attachments only spawn on guns?
barnabus replied to gibonez's topic in General Discussion
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.. -
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..

I really dont get the point of bambi killing.
barnabus replied to Acher0n's topic in General Discussion
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?
barnabus replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
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
barnabus replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
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
barnabus replied to Death By Crowbar's topic in General Discussion
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.. -
Lol, as long as you have that on I think everyone on the entire map would be safe from zeds.
-
Or $50 for three cans, still, too rich for me..

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?
barnabus replied to maninthewall's topic in General Discussion
Because you can't get a nice Pilotka in the NE, that's why. -
I think the seagulls make zombie noises too. I have found SKS and AKM in cars too
-
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.
-
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.

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.
