So I was killed upon entering my home server (losing NVGs, GPS, M14, all manner of other items) because I had a ghillie and just updated to the newest patch, heard this was gonna happen and took it like a...man. /cry Buddy of mine logs in and says he kept his stuff and moments later says he was killed by a group of 4 players. This was around Stary Sobor and I was all the way down south in Kamenka making my way north. I get north and enter Zelenogorsk and find a map. At this point I have a map, M1014 shotgun with one set of slugs and pellets, smoke grenades, flares, chemlights, and misc other things. I am making my way slowly through the town when a shot range out and I take a bullet to either the arm or leg, not sure. Sounds like the DMR they took off my buddy about an hour ago so I serpentine run to cover. I catch a glimpse of 4 of them on the hill dealing with a horde of zombies which they quickly dispatch with their man with the silenced rifle cause I hear no shots and the zombies are dropping left and right. A few of them are crawling like they have broken legs so I peek out and take a pot shot at one of them with my Shotgun. Clearly out of range I am at a disadvantage and that one shot has brought me to 4500 blood. I know they have NVG's from my friend so running right now is not an option as the sniper will still see me. I pull out what I do have that will reach them. Flares and smoke grenades. I toss 2 flares and a smoke grenade to buy me some time to flank them. I rush out from my cover as the flares and smoke take effect. As I am flanking I see 4 people disconnect simultaneously from the server. The end. This was on server US 27 Chicago 21. If you or one of you four are reading this..buahahahaha you were bested by a fresh spawner with flares and smokes and you ran like the panzies you are. If I see you do that again in the server there will be no hesitation on the ban that comes after.

Yeah, the fact remains that server admins can and will ban people like this and the dev's normally don't lift a finger cause they have already said that it is an exploit. Exploit - To take advantage of unfairly; To control to one's own advantage by artful or indirect means In other words: a cheat. I was nice and didn't ban on sighting them DCing because technically it could be seen that I was running away from the fight, but really I had nothing to lose but a map and ALICE pack so I was going to go all in and see it to the end, no matter what that might be...

Got one better and shorter way for you... http://dayzmod.com/f...the-wilderness/

This is EXACTLY what the game is about. Would it have been any different if someone freshley spawned who happened to find an assault rifle, ran up the stairs and aced all 3 of them? Didn't care about the loot and then ran off looking for more targets? NO! The point the OP is trying to make is learn from your mistakes like this one and your group will come out on top...most of the time. The game is about surviving. This man survives and stays sane by killing people for side entertainment. It is no different from the person who goes out of their way to kill every, single, zombie in the town that they can find. Or someone who runs from town to town gathering supplies and killing players as needed. It is a playstyle, albeit, one that is not the most favored by some individuals, but it is still HIS playstyle. Sandbox means there are no rules besides the one's set forth to you by the game itself. You as a person are your own person, and what you do in DayZ is up to you and no one else can dictate that.

Did you spawn in the wilderness? Are you confused, scared, befuddled, or downright frustrated and don't know what to do? Well here are a few tips on how to get out! 1. Face the compass direction of East. If you do not have a compass, look at the clouds as all of the clouds in Arma 2 head in the eastern direction. "Run with the clouds". 2. http://s17.postimage.org/ugva0rkvx/2012_07_10_19_48_13_603.jpg 3. Go watch TV, read a book, do something constructive for about 10-15 minutes and then come back. You should be nearing trees at this point. I made this post while running from the debug wilderness.

Havn't logged in. Will potentially lose: -Ghillie I am wearing -NVGs -Coyote Backpack -M14 -DMR ammo -Rangefinder -GPS -1911 with ammo -Assorted medical supplies -Can of Beans...

Never replied to me mang...

Shits been real. Where have you been? You got aced because your situational awareness was lacking and karma was not on your side due to the fact that your team was exploiting the game by using the respawn button to essentially teleport you across the map at the cost of not carrying their gear. FYI there are towns all over the place with industrial warehouses that spawn tires, could have just ran around to those different towns and found tires one or more of those and you wouldn't be in this predicament. This isn't to insult your intelligence or mock your group in anyway. I am trying to help you for the future as you clearly did not see what you did wrong in this situation.

In Federal Way and I am up during this time along with a good buddy of mine on the east side. Normally stop playing about 1 AM PST. Check us out at http://www.thefraternityofgamers.com I am normally on 7:30 PM PST up to 1 AM PST. Add me on steam: justiceabove

US 27 Chicago 21

Sent you a PM Retr0.

Added you to Skype Gorbath, will be in contact later this evening.

Yeah...no shit. Why would you even post this? He died, ohh well, part of the game. Serves him right for being chased by zombies. in the middle of a field without backup. He probably doesn't even care, smoked a bowl and respawned, killed the first survivor he met with an axe and celebrated by cracking open a beer and looting that body.

Yeah we had a perfect setup at Stary. Sniper to the south with me as his spotter. We had a second spotter with a thermal scope way to the north west to watch incoming people to the northwest and an assault guy in the north woods. We spotted two survivors headed to the Stary camp. I was within 150 meters of the tents and we had our assaulter open fire. After he was done firing we were all in position to box them in and kill them, perfect strategy...they DCed and never came back to the server only knowing that one guy was after them at the time. Would have been an epic takedown had they had the BALLS to stay and die like men...

Hi Jack, Please use our forums to report incidents regarding our server. http://www.thefraternityofgamers.com/forumdisplay.php?50-Report-a-Cheater-DCer! Read the template to report the hacker and then make your post with as much of the information asked for as possible. I will inform an admin of this as soon as one is available and this will be investigated. Thank you, [FoG]Justice

So I logged on last night north of NWAF. Came down and figured I would check Barracks. Had a couple of buddies respawning and they were just about to finish clearing Chernarus when I found an M249 in the North Barracks with 2 clips. Being that I already had an M14, I took it upon myself to offer it to my comrades if they could run up there of course. So they started their trek while I hid out of sight. While sitting there, this survivor/bandit walked within 5 feet right past me toward North Barracks. I made the mistake of not pulling out my M14 and capping him. Instead I shot at him with my pistol and this son of a gun was a lucky SOB cause all the rounds fired from my 1911 bounced off the L85 he had stowed on his back. I had to run as I had a horde of zombies try to ambush me from that encounter. After losing the zombies I went back to the location and the player was still dealing with Zombies as I could hear from the crack of his M1911. I waited patiently this time on the small hill above for him to stop and show himself out of one of the windows... My patience payed off, as he was finally finished with the zombies, he showed his little face out of the window and looked out. I fired 2 M14 rounds at that spot and then had to run again. I came back around to claim my prize. Below is what I found of value: -Coyote Backpack -NVGs -L85 AWS -M249 (he picked it up in the barracks) -Map -Entrenching tool -Antibiotics -Stanag mags (SD and Reg) -M1911 and mags Great success...

NOTE: This does not start out as a suggestion but evolves into one. Rant: I have realized (maybe some others have) that at a certain point, the objective of the game gets lost somewhere. Is there an objective? Survive? Done that, and died. Gotten geared up again, went to NW AF, killed some fools, then died a fool myself and started over with the rest of the people I just killed. Rinse and repeat again and again. Final "end game" is vehicles and eventually choppers that are going to add a whole new element to the game but it is hard to get there and you might spend days looking for a vehicle before you find one. Suggestion: Make dynamic objectives giving survivors a point to surviving or existing within this world for so long. They have done it in Evo and Insurgency for Arma2: OA. I do not see why we can't do it for this game. Example: You are in Chernogorsk and you get a mission to go to Green Mountain and investigate the dead soldiers or you find a crashed chopper with a file in it that contains information that leads you to another location. Very general idea at best, I will leave the writers to the details. I am just saying, at some point, you should have a point of staying alive in the game for days, weeks, months.

Yeah dick move bro. That isn't being a bandit that is being lower than a bandit...a troll. New players or spawners should be helped if they don't have a group, just make sure they are in front of you at all times once they get a gun until you can know them better...

My name is Justice and I am a survivor. I follow a kind of "Hunter's Creed". If I see new players unarmed with nothing of use to me, then I will allow them to live, however if you have a weapon capable of killing me or anyone of my team, you are going to be shot as there is no direct communicating with you from 600 meters out, sorry, your a dead man if you are caught in my sights to the north. Also, if you are that capably armed, you probably have something else I want in your gear... As for who I am in real life? I am a help desk professional and enjoy helping people with their technical issues and providing what support I can. Conclusion: Who you are in real life does not necessarily change the way you play the game. It is a game, one that establishes rules within a sandbox world. That one rule is survive. How you do it is up to you, that is the whole point of this game. Unfortunately, there is no group function right now for randoms in the server, so if you are not in the voice server for that group that is hosting the server, and side chat is disabled, then you are on your own. Most snipers will not give you the chance to say, "Friendly!". Infact, most snipers you won't see or know are there until it is too late or unless they suck. So players have to adapt to the fact that they can and will be shot in most cases, without warning. They learn and put their heads on swivels and kill everything that comes in contact with them for fear of being shot themselves. It's a doggy dog world out there in Chernarus and the ones quicker on the trigger are the one's who will survive... P.S. As it stands, once you are equipped with weapons/ammo, food, and water it is easy to lose sight of what you are supposed to do in the game and killing players tends to be the only source of entertainment up to a point once you have everything you could want in the game. I think once choppers are implemented on more servers it might add a whole new element to the game and change it as we know it right now.

Add some way for survivors to join the same "Group" when they are playing. This will go a long way to make cooperating easier as well as fix a lot of cross communication happening in largely populated Teamspeak/Ventrilo servers by letting people utilize the Group VOIP chat in Arma.

Another suggestion... Add some way for survivors to join the same "Group" when they are playing.

Let me recap then Sean. The FoG server was getting bombarded with requests to join the server, this resulted in the server being periodically locked, which I myself experienced. Nasir feels like he has irrefutable proof that the admins locked the server so that they and their group could make a rush for the vehicles...thaaats about the jist of it. Double tab Enter about 5 more times and I got in so I do not know what his problem is.

The server locks, unlocks, locks, unlocks during the different connections trying to get to it. If you keep trying to get in, you will get in. Nothing is keeping you from getting in but your impatience.
