i have to kill on sight often, mainly for fear that he has a much better kit and is looking for a good fight. but i normally try to make contact or avoid others. Most of the time i will attempt to disarm or make a player put their weapon on their back if i see them first. saying something like "Hey man, go ahead and put your gun away, dont try anything that'll get one of us killed, i know you dont want that" I give them the benefit of the doubt by doing this, letting them know i could've killed them, but i'd rather not bother killing someone defenseless and unaware. about 50% of the time i meet some cool people who talk to me, the other 50% ends in either them or me getting shot in the face without any communication. honestly, the most trustworthy people i meet respond somewhat like this "i can't do that" or "don't feel comfortable being unarmed at gunpoint". thats when i know i've met a rational guy that, just like me, doesnt want to end up on the coast, but rather make a friend or strike up a trade my KOS deaths almost always occur just leaving a mil base. just the other day i was running through Vybor military, looting up with my little improvised pack, only a sporter on my back with ma trusty splitting axe, and some relatively low level military gear. i finish taking the gear i need and run for the wall, and i see a three man squad at the barracks, a fully ghillied guy with an AKM, a sniper, and another guy with an AK. i run by them, too late to turn back now, seeing the ghillied guy aiming at me as i round the corner, i yell out "hey guys dont want any trouble, don't shoot me and i'll be on way to the airfield" without hesitation.... pew, pew, pew "don't kill me man, come o...." pew, pew, pew, pew -- You Are Dead

Generally, if you have enough people to split up into 2+ groups it's a good idea to do so. I like to go in a 3 man squad. i think its a perfect balance between power and stealth. Normally have two guys with either AR's or SKS's, whichever is available, and one guy with a mosin. NWAF is great with three guys, one rifleman as a scout, and the other to stay back and watch the snipers back as he provides cover to the scout. It works perfectly, especially when you have experience with the other two guys in the squad. No friendly fire, no communication issues, and hardly any problems keeping to cover. have had experience running with up to 8 people at once, and it never works out. someone always gets shot because they wont answer in TS, or says the contact you spotted definitely isn't him. Then, next thing you know, he's bitching and moaning cause you shot him. any more than 3-5 people and we split up into fireteams of 2/3. 5 guys is the biggest squad i'm okay with, any bigger and you gotta make sure you're all together. always one guy that falls out...

so, because i killed a guy I'm some horrible, low life, scum bag player sniping new spawns in elektro, right? haha. You'd be surprised. Yeah, i wouldn't trade with me or trust me...... but you shouldn't assume that just because i killed a guy in cold blood, i will do every thing to hunt you all down and kill you for the fuck of it. And how would i find you any way? i wouldnt waste my time chasing someone i have no reason to kill. I got a ghillie in the fraction of the time it would've taken to make one. In the end i see myself as the better survivor. i got the chance to get a ghillie suit for little to no cost, and i pursued it. I'm definitely an asshole, but im a ghillied up asshole now. Later guys, good luck trading.

*lost member logs into server with two or three buddies *server almost full of "randoms" *sees 36 players coming over a hill FFUUUUUU But seriously, good luck to ya

Being an admin of a server myself, when the server gets laggy and needs to be rebooted, we normally say "Restart in __minutes" and it shows up like direct chat but for everyone, so it shows who is typing out. To do this i believe you have to set it as a MotD or a BEC global message. i used to get the wonderful message "i feel like someone is watching me..." or even "my c**k hurts" there are some creepy and funny ones out there

Wanted a ghillie, got a ghillie. Shit happens and you shouldn't trust people.

Shit happens

Yes and no, i have had horrible luck, searching all spawns for helis on a persistent server and not finding a one. But on non persistent servers ive been able to find like 5 in a few hours time. I heard its something like a 99% chance for heli crashes to spawn invisible on persistent servers. and i believe what i heard, because the other day on my clans server (P:on for sure) we found one just south of Stary Sobor. So for the time being id go on non persistent servers for heli crash hunting

i logged out in a house today above elektro because there were hackers teleporting around the building shooting me and my friend, when i log back in i was under the floor. tried vaulting, running, cant lay down to roll, and cant get out no matter what i do i heard there is a way for my character to be moved by DayZ staff, if this true? i picked up an akm and m4 off some of the guys bodies and id like to not lose them as ive been looking for one for awhile. please let me know if i can be saved, or if i am doomed to die a slow starvation fueled death. i am under the green house near the dirt road with the water source. building coords are 105 - 126 according to the DayZ DB Map IGN is Stolas or [uSG]Stolas official steam account name is thegreatprincestolas

didnt mean to double post, woops

Looking for an m4 with a back up sight or a carry handle. also looking for m4 optics. have an AUG 40rnd cmag, 2x 10rnd cmags MP handguard AKM with hanguard rail, flash light, and PSO-1 scope 5 30rnd mags 1 drum mag lots of 762x39 Olive High cap vest - P black high cap vest - W green balaclavas, one Pristine, one worn Flash bang (1) Respirator if someone could help me fix this ^ It'd be greatly appreciated

Shit, well that explains why i cant find any heli crashes...

My favorite was when these German bandits killed my friend and i, and when i respawned, they asked me if i'd come help them ouyt. gave me an akm with a full drum mag, and led me to their group. My friend picked off one guy, then i got the three others to huddle around a body looting, sprayed them all down. knocked one out, killed another, then chased the last one down and shot him in the back. came back to find the one guy unconscious, so i said some crude words about their group and told them to come back so i could kill them again. He said something in german, pretty sure it was something like "fuck you" After that, me and one of the other guys in the clan got pinned down in a house by a hacker, 99% positive it was one of the german guys, as he was cursing at us saying i shouldnt have betrayed his friends. eventually i relogged and got stuck under the house, and the guy tele'd to me(how i know he was hacking) and tried to feed me disinfectant spray. Too bad he didnt know when you're under that house you have a room the size of your character, making it so you cant shoot people/lie down. ;) was one of my favorite PvP moments in elektro. come to think of it, i think i died to a friendly grenade bouncing off the door of a building x)

Zeroable if no mildots, or a scope that has mildots but is unaffected by FoV slider. Would be more realistic if they had both. honestly dont know why torchia is working on a universal scope for all rifles, when he should make scopes that are made to fit each rifle.

So heli sites are on non persistent servers only? that might explain why i havent been able to find any crash sites. ran from vybor down to pavlovo military the other day and didnt see a single one, went through at least 2/3-3/4 of the crash sites on several servers. Maybe im just an unlucky guy

Watching over Vybor military the other day with some firends, and saw this. Loot spawns are so full, things started spawning in trees! first time ive seen this much loot in an area.

Was really a scouting location. i had two-three other people on their way and was making sure it was clear before they got there. I dont normally like being on veresnik anyway, i always get shot...

It would make more sense to find in AUG in chernarus rather than the US. According to Dean Hall chernarus is supposed to be around slovakia/czech republic/ukraine. Kind of a large area, but you'd think it'd be found more easily in a country relatively close to Austria, rather than at US crash sites. I know these countries dont use the AUG, but you'd think if chernarus was falling, other countries would help each other, and it wouldnt be totally outlandish to think US forces didnt all come in by heli and get shot down.. then again, this game is a post apocalyptic zombie survival game. i think the AUG should be found in barracks, but with a small chance to spawn, and without the lame freaking scope mounted already. i heard the AUG in dayz is the AUG A2, which would mean you can change the scopes/optics.

Come to the US and thats how things are. i could walk through my neighborhood right now and find a rifle/AR and a handgun with ammo. 'Murica

Possibly! haha. ive seen bareacks with 4 aks in a room with some mags and tons of other gear, firestations full of protector cases and fireaxes, but never loot in trees xD

One of my favorite set ups so far!

Really? i can play DayZ on normal settings around 20-35 fps. But when i tried out Arma3 i could barely get 15 fps with the lowest settings

Very true, you should always tell the person you're meeting with that you have friends. at least that way you dont come off as some KOS asshat bandit. I've never brought another party to my trades. i always bring the least gear possible, only what im trading, and a weapon/ammo. Never had anything go wrong, even when i was geared to the teeth. Although, most people i trade with now have established a sort of trust with me and my guys. Looking for - 3PP 5.56 rounds, cant find very many now that i need them. AK101 mags PSO-1 scope AK handguard rail M4 Mags What i have - 3PP Green and Black Balaclavas AUG - no mags AK101 with ak74 handguard and buttstock One protector case Looking for - 1PP Mosin with PU scope offers? What i have - 1PP Press vest Repeater .357 rounds

Just today a guy drove up to the jail near the two lone hangars where my friend was hanging out at. me and another clan member were across by the civi hangers when we hear a truck. All i hear on TS is "TRUUUCCKKK!!" the player ran into the jail and was sprayed down. later ate her ;D after we killed and skinned the poor kid we put the v3s out on the air strip as bait. only one other poor bastard fell for it. damn, V3S' are fun! I've only found a handful of V3S'. my first was in Kabanino, second in Msta, and the most recent one i found was in Staroye. i'd go searching for the trucks around the east side of the map, that's where you'll have the best luck finding one.

Elektro all day every day. Also Cherno. either one is great for pvp
