Even if, i know i wouldnt be arrested for photographing a military base, or air force base here. And if i got detained it would certainly not be 20 years. And spying on something that can be seen on the internet. Its all absurd and lacking any logic behind it.

This happend last night, and it was properly the most intense thing in dayz so far. I got it on recording too :D Me and Toker was driving towards Pusta, in a beaten, dirty Pickup Truck we had "aqquired" from someone else. Upon entering the forrest i take a right into the trees, and park the truck under some cover, so as it is not getting spotted. Our intention is to check Prigorodky for cars, as the pickup cannot carry our entire team. We start running trough the forrest, our NVG´s enlighting the otherwise dark server. Suddenly we hear a unfamiliar sound. One of the most frightning sounds in DayZ. The sound of rotor blades, cutting trough the air, liften several tons of metal. Suddenly we see the metal bird, the king of the skies, and a magnificent sight. That is, untill it suddenly stops, and turns around, and starts shooting. We are not sure if it is shooting at us, because the shots landing are nowhere near us. Making a decision that we cannot go back to camp while that is around i take aim with my FN FAL AN/PVS-4 and start putting lead into the chopper. After one mag they notice that theyre taking damage, and we see the helicopter bolting away, north east. Deciding that staying would be bad, we sprint back to the truck, and drive off. But our ordeal is not over yet. After 10 minutes of hard driving we reach Lopatino. Driving trough a field to avoid the city, we suddenly hear the chopper again. The fucking metal bastard is coming back for another round. Toker quickly takes the truck into a patch of trees, and we both exit quickly and watch the chopper fly past us. Seemingly we didn´t get spotted, and i take over the driving, as we head back unto the road. After a couple of minutes we see the chopper returning, and i yet again quickly take the truck into a patch of trees. But its too late, the chopper has seen us, and as the 7,62 hammers into the ground, kicking up dirt, we take cover behind a couple of flimsy evergreen trees. The chopper flies over a couple of more times, before it escalates even further. Suddenly i see the chopper loosing attitude. Seeing as we are safe for the moment i make a dash over the road to get a better position. A couple of seconds later i see the chopper taking of. Having figured out that they have dropped people on the ground to take us out, i get in a good position and start scanning the area. The chopper still circles the area, trying to spot us for the men on the ground, the buzzing it makes attacting every zombie in the area. Suddenly i spot a man moving straight in front of me, a couple hundred meters out. Ghillie suit, NVG,s, Good weapons. I carefully take aim, and fire one shot at him. It pierces his neck and he hits the ground hard. I fire another shot to make sure he dies, which the server then confirms. I figure that we need to flush the chopper, and any other people on the ground out, so i tell Toker to get in the truck, and dash north. After a minute of convinding he does it, where upon he takes fire from a treeline to the west (he says it was M4), but that both the truck and him made it trough without damage. About a minute or 2 after i see the chopper coming in for a touchdown. I quickly spot the area its landing, and i see the other guy, getting ready to board the chopper. Realising i only have a few moments before they will be down on Toker like an eagle, i fire 2 shots in the direction of the chopper, not in an attempt to hit anything, but to scare them off. It worked. The man hits the ground, and the chopper dodges sideways, and takes off into the sky. A firefight break outs between me and the other guy. Mostely im running dodgeing his bullets, waiting for Toker to go in for the kill (told him to return), but as im running i make to a patch of mabye 6-7 trees sitting tight together, and i get the advantage. I return fire, as he is trying to barrel roll away, eventually hitting a shot shattering his spine. He then disconnects before i have a chance to follow up the shot. The helicopter then backs off, flying southeast, having lost all his gunners, and therefor beeing unable to land and get their gear (without dying anyway). We scored some extra NVG´s and rangefinders. I will add a video link when i upload it.

Since i have one guy left in my group who is lacking NVG´s, but we have spare L85A2 AWS rifles, i wonder if anyone would be willing to do this trade (i can put weapons or ammo into the trade as bonus if needed, will talk details in a PM.)

I have played this game since early May, and i have yet to get killed by any hacker. Find a home server, one that is low pop, and therefor often free of hackers, and setup there. The worst part is you are trying to justify why you should be allowed to do it to. If you script at any point then you loose all right to complain about it, and you are just as much a fuckwit as every other scripter and hacker in this game. A to-be scripter complaining about what he is doing himself. Fucking great...

Your welcome to join with my group (plenty of spare weapons, so you can get properly geared up.) We play casually, and are currently working on getting a new car (since the last one became a fireball), so that is properly what we will be doing for the next couple of playsessions. Hit me up on the PM if that sounds good to you :P

Well atleast the debug monitor is barely usefull anymore. If blood pressure get removed from the monitor is basicly useless. The things we used it for have slowly been removed. I do thing they should add some sort of blood pressure gauge so you can meassure it yourself, but that is anothet tread. Back on topic i played for 6 hours last night without the monitor, (and therefor the mentioned glitch did not occour), and i didn´t notice any difference other than my vision got greatly increased on my right side. For blood i just open it after a firefight or a zombie encounter to check what it says, and then turn it back off.

It was getting evening in Chernarus. Me, Toker and The Scottsman had been moving our tent camp to a safer location, and we had just gone back to get the last batch of low grade military weapons (2 74 Kobras, and a AKM). While moving we had spotted a Heli Crash Site around Altar, and we had decided to wait on looting it untill the camp had been safely placed. Upon approaching the site we heard the combination of gunshots and the roaring of enraged zombies. We quickly form a pyramid formation, and creep slowly trough the undergrowth of the sparsely filled patch of trees. I put my binoculars to the eyes, and i quickly catch eye on apatch of white clothing. Its lieing completely still, and i write it off as a dead zombie farmer, and take the binoculars off. Suddenly the bullets starts flying, but not from the unseen enemies, but from toker drawing in the zombies to allow me and The Scottsman to move to the right. Suddenly the supposed dead body in the field starts rolling, and i instantly start shooting towards him. He is about 400 meters away and i do not manage to kill him before i loose sight, because the helicopter is in the way. While changeing position i see another survivor all the way in the other end of the field, very close to the road. This is about 500-700 meters away, but nonetheless i start popping rounds in his direction, with the kick of the AK making it alsmost impossible. Suddenly he falls, and the kill message pop up on the server. I move my eyes to the debug monitor, and sure enough, i have a murder on me. A long burst of AKM gets fired off to our left, and Toker yells for backup. The Scottsman runs over to Toker who had been knocked down from a swarm of zombies. While this goes on suddenly bullets starts flying towards us, and i quickly move right, and then run down a small section of bushes dividing 2 fields. And as i expected i find the 2nd guy sitting in a bush, with his M1911 out. He must have heard me coming, or was thinking of flanking us too, because he looked at me. I fire off the first shot, and even though i get hit 3 times, he goes down for the count, and i only loose about 3k blood. I get the all clear from Toker and The Scottsman that all zombies have been cleared, and they are checking the crash site. I then move on to check the bodies. The net profit was good. We found a FAL and a Bizon at the crash site and an MP5 on one of the exterminated survivors. One of the better firefights i have been in, and im proud of my 600 meter AK kill on a moving target. That is still my best kill to this day.

After a unsuccesfull vehicle run (where our ATV also blew up after zombies swarmed it, thankfully i was not on it) Me and my friend was walking along the western edge of Chernarus. Our NVG,s removed the darkness and we were carefully checking our sorroundings. We stopped every 200 meters so my friend could scan the sorroundings with the Thermal Scope on his L85A2 AWS. After 20 minutes or so of walking my friend calls for me to stop. He tells me to look in the distance to the west down a hill. After a second i spot what he saw. About 5 survivors are sitting around a campfire, 3 tents around them. One is wearing a Hero skin, 2 of the others wrapped in the Bandit bandana. Me and my friend seek cover under a pine tree, and i get my binoculars out to get a better look. None of them had proper nighttime equipment. No NVG´s, no FN FAL AN/PVS-4, no L85A2. Basic military equipment, 2 AK-74´s, a M16 M203 , a M1014 and the last poor bloke had a Dubble Barrel. Alice packs and ACU´s. Not wanting to make friends, or risking them accidently spotting us (moon up, clear night), we decide to take them out. I take aim with my Mk 48 Mod 0, and we are just about to open fire when i remembered something. I whisper to my friend: "Dude, i have grenades in my backpack." He took a couple of M67 frags out of my bag and we take aim (thankfully we had both trained with grenade usage in Arma 2 itself). On a countdown we both trew 2 grenades into the camp. A few seconds later 4 loud explosions occour about in the middle of the camp, and 3 nametags appear as dead. I trew a couple more grenades down into the camp, and get another kill. After looking for a couple of minutes my friend spots the survivor with the Thermal, and pops him. We then go into the camp, and started moving their equipment into the tents they had set up (we didnt need it, and it would be a waste just to bury it), and we take some canned food, and some water canteens (ours had been in the ATV). After burying the corpses, we moved out, towards camp.

I have never had a bad experience at this so-called cursed mountain. Quite the opposite i got my first military weapon in the base, and i have had camps there more than once. I havent been there in a while, so things might have changed, but back in the day is was a silent area. Nothing sinister.

Since DayZ, is as it has been said, a mod for a game, a game which has a much higher ammount of weapons and equipment than the mod does. Those can be easily added to the mod, since they already are in the game, just missing a spawnpoint. When DayZ goes standalone later this year, this problem will be alot smaller, since the guns in the game will be the same as the guns the game have access to. I dont think a solution is possible for the original mod, not at the current state of affairs anyway.

Im looking for 1-2 survivors who have a decent ammount of experience in the game, who are atleast 16 of age, can speak english and have skype. Normally i play with 2-4 players of my close friends, but since work, and education have started back up, the time for all 4 of us to be on in scarce, so im looking to find some who have time to play more than once a week. 6-12 PM GMT+1 is the time i will normally be on. We are very well armed, and very well setup. PM me if you are interested.

The hero-bandit thing is stupid. Adding skins to show what kind of player you are, doesn´t fit well with "realistic survival". In a real scenario you would have no chance to know what kind of person you are seeing up ahead. Adding a visual confirmation doesn´t feel well with the tone the game sets up. And it wont stop people killing each other, if anything it will make it easier for the ones who are setup. Kill a dude, then go on a zombie murdering rampage, and get your humanity back up. And those heros are going to be gunned down so quickly, by people who dont trust anyone.

I would like to see the Side Channel return to DayZ. Whatever downsides there is to the concept, it is outbalanced by how much it improoves player interaction. Back when the Side Channel was on nearly every server, you could tell by words, and reactions which people you could trust, and you could team up with people. Since it has gotten removed PvP has increased tenfold, because there is NO chance of knowing what kind of person, or who it is that is running in the distance. Due to the lack of communication you shoot everyone on sight, and they will do the same. It does not mean that any of the two is a bandit, but they dont have a chance to trust each other. Just re-implementing the Side Channel would fix a big deal of the problems of the game turning into a deathmatch, and drag it back to survival with other people. Thanks for taking the time to hear me out.

Some ideas are good, but i dont get the point of having a BB gun. a paintball gun loaded with rocks i can kinda understand, but a BB gun would be pointless. It just wont do enough damage.

I joined a server called Atlanta 38, and i instantly dropped dead, for no apperent reason, i was good on food and drinks, and had only join cause the other server i was on restarted, so i had noot been reconnecting and disconnecting to avoid death.

I know i werent shot when i logged out etc. So it was properly some sort of glitch. Also i did copy that from a notepad, due to me saving it there during the downtime of the website. I like to think my english is not that bad, i did just get a top grade in my final exam, so it cannot be that hopeless ;)
