I think my Leg is Broken

Damn! Sick. I was thinking of lyrics for a rap too, but someone's already beat me to it!

Maybe give Experimental branch a go. From my experience you're far less likely to get shot on sight. Plus you get to try out the sweet new features. Win-win.

Isn't this something that could be set on a per-server basis? If you don't like it, play on a server that doesn't have it. Problem solved?

I totally forgot Carrier Command was by BI! I used to love the original version on the Atari ST back in the day!

Welcome to the forums. It's currently a bit of a pain. Either one of you repeatedly dies until you both end up near each other, or just figure out where you are and meet in the middle. I would highly recommend spending a little time searching for supplies before meeting up, as food and water will be your highest concern. One thing that might help (if you didn't already know): Heading inland from the coast, if you encounter the road before the railway, you're on the East coast. If you encounter the railway before the road, you're on the South/West coast. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Haha! Not really big on Top Gear, so haven't seen that one. Makes sense now! Duh. Edit: Was gonna suggest starting a topic in TV/Movies, but someone already has. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/171937-top-gear-uk/?hl=%2Btop+%2Bgear for reference.

He's a journalist, and presenter on a TV show in the UK called Top Gear.

Haha, nice story. Glad I made the effort to read it. I was in Berezino once, round the back of the hospital. Accidentally ran off the scaffold and broke my leg. Started crawling to the hospital, hoping to find some morphine, only to be twatted by a zed, which broke my arm too. Had same problem, couldn't get up the stairs. Decided to crawl around and use the ladder and just fall to my death. As I was on my way around, I heard two guys coming. I called out saying I had broken bones and asked for help. They both ended up sitting with me on top of the hospital for about 20 minutes until their friend turned up with a splint. Miraculously, the splint fixed both my arm and leg at the same time. Ended up hanging with them until the server went down. Good times.

That's James May? ... actually, I can see it now you said it.

Dang it, Bobby! That boy ain't right.

I think with a lot of posts, people can come off sounding like cold assholes, myself included, but I never mean any disrespect to the person, just the opinion or attitude that was stated, and I think that's probably true for most people here. A lot of times, someone comes out making a statement that is easily picked apart when it's analysed from hindsight and limited information. If anything, I suppose it's good that the game shows that sometimes you're forced to make decisions you'd otherwise regret, even with the best of intent. But just because they had their guns out (who could blame them?) doesn't mean they're always bad. I'm sure you know that, though. I'm more in the habit of scouting with my gun out than not most of the time. I've tried running round with it shouldered, but I get shot just as much as when I don't. I'd be really pissed off if I was with a group of friends and we all got wiped out just because of that, especially from someone who's telling us they're usually the good guy. Shit happens though. It's fair play if someone sees you and shoots you, even if you're trying to provide a safe haven. It's not like you own the NEAF, after all. And anyone is entitled to revenge. If anything, you're doing them a favour by identifying yourself in that way. Swings and roundabouts?

I have the same problem with you claiming yourself to be a "hero" as I do with you telling me in the title of this thread that the story you wrote is "cool". It's subjective and situational. But I think you've already demonstrated that. QED? By the way, I don't mean it just about you specifically, just anyone who goes round proclaiming themselves to be. If I were in a situation where I saw your guys first, and I had my gun out, I might feel the need to shoot you first because you were probably planning on shooting me, despite your "hero" attire. Seems a bit moot. That said, it sounds like you're trying to do good, for the most part. Maybe that's the most anyone can hope for? I just hope you don't consider yourself "better" than anyone else who plays, just because you choose to help others.

tl;dr I call myself a hero but I shoot people sometimes. Yeah like you said, see it from the other person's perspective. You're just a scumbag KoSer to someone you shot.

Well I guess that makes me a "complete hero" too, cos I don't always shoot people, but sometimes I do.

Wouldn't you have to find a stool testing kit first? Heh.
