This happened a couple of days ago, so I may be off a bit on the exact exchanges: Eno and I were at our normal hangout in Svet trying to encourage people to talk to us before committing suicide. Shortly after logging in, Eno called out that a guy with a rifle on his back was coming into town and ran into a red 2-story house. He directed me in as I quickly rushed over and ran up the stairs behind him before he knew I was there. I saw him changing his shirt while looking at the shelf and I called out to him asking him how he is doing. He quickly put his hands up and then proceeded to drop everything on the floor, gun, hatchet, and other items. He then decided to roll over and over all over the room all while not saying anything or typing. I kept talking over voice and told him to relax and to pick his gear back up. He must not have been able to hear me (even though Eno could hear me fine), so he got up and walked past me, down the stairs, out the door, and down the street heading towards Novo. Not in a full sprint, but at a jog pace. He never looked back or said anything during that entire exchange. I was so confused that I wasn't sure what to do. We laughed it off and decided to go back to over-watch position. Shortly after Eno spots a guy coming in from the East but he has an AK in his hands. I wait a moment, before deciding to engage regardless, so I start to head towards him just as Eno spots another guy near him. They don't seem to know each other and shortly after start exchanging gun fire with each other. Some bullets must have randomly come close to Eno, so he shuffled back a little bit as he was not 100% sure it was "random". They ran around a bit, shooting a bit more before taking off in different directions. I then started looking for .308 ammo for Eno in random buildings. I checked the entire west side of town except for one townhouse building. I was ready to give up as I entered the last room of the house, right as I stepped on 40 rounds of it. Woohoo! Eno came down to collect and fill his water bottle. We embraced each other by hugging tightly before logging. The end.

Someone told me it meant "friendly" as in, waving a white flag. I have not yet confirmed this.

Simply awesome.

Looks like fun!

Ha ha! I literally just made a post in the "How was your DayZ" thread with something similar. Good stuff.

I would love an option to clear my history, or (as said before) to be able to show the last time I entered said server. When I first started this game, I would just refresh the server list and find one with the best ping. So I joined quite a bit of random servers before I found that I wanted to stay with just the 3 or 4 certain servers I liked. Being able to clear that crap would be awesome. I know that we can favorite them, which is also awesome, but most of the time I join off of a friend in steam and don't even check my ping or the server name, so I have no idea what server I was just in. Let's say that I was disconnected due to my internet cutting out and I wanted to rejoin that server but my buddy has already logged off. How do I get back there if I didn't check the name? It would be nice to see a column that said "last visited, 6 hours ago" or "last visited, last week" or "last visited, today". That would narrow my search down quite a bit. It is definitely not a necessity to implement from my opinion, but it would be nice.

Last night Eno and I hung around Svet trying to help talk freshies out of suiciding off of the nearest crane. Eno: Contact, heading towards the crane.. a freshie. It looks like he's heading towards the first one that I cannot see. Bam: 10-4, heading there now. *I ran down the hill from the hospital towards the cranes and ran through the gate in front of the guard house. I see the freshie climbing the ladder. I see him get to the top and turn around, getting ready to swan dive. Bam (yelling): NO! Don't do it! NOOOOOOOO!!!! *jumps* I yell at the corpse "Dude, why did you do it? You had so much to live for! That's it, i'm sticking my finger in your butt." *I knew he couldn't respond to that one! -------------------------------------------------------- We mosey'd around the city for a bit as Eno provided over-watch. I was hanging out near the train tracks when he called out contact again, heading west down the main road near the church. Eno: I think he entered the red house. Bam: *giddy* 10-4, heading there now. Eno: I see him upstairs through the window. He may be logging.. Bam: I'm running up the hill now, almost there. Eno: Oh, wait, no, he is still moving around up there. *I round the building corner and sprint for the entrance Bam (yells out): Hey bud! How're ya doing in there? *silence* Bam (yells out): Hey bud! Where are you at? *I climb the stairs, gun ready peering to the right towards the rooms. I hear foot steps approaching as I near the top. Bam: Whoa, whoa, dude. B- *He backs up when he sees my ak shoved in his face. He didn't have a gun out, nor could I see one on his back. Only a wood axe. Bam: It's cool man, I won't shoot. Just checking on ya. *He types.. Bryce: friendly? Bam: Yeah man, I won't shoot *We talk back and forth for a minute as Eno can see him through the window from over-watch position. Bryce asks to team up but I tell him I am already in a group and that they can see him (hee hee). He asks to join us and I advise no. Just then, my back seizes up in real life and I am in a bit of pain. I try adjusting my seating posture and it doesn't help. Now would be the perfect time for him to whip out a gun and shoot me. Bam: You can go man *gasp from pain* I'll let ya go.. Bryce: I have ammo for you. Bam: Nah it's cool man, take it easy. *He heads to the bottom of the stairs and then says that he has a cr75 pistol and cr527 rifle but no mags and that he can only chamber one bullet at a time. I ran around him and saw the hidden cr527 behind the mountain backpack. I didn't see it initially.. doh! Bam: You can check the guard houses for clips/ammo. *He didn't seem to know what they were so I offered to show him. We ran down to the guard house at the base of the hill. He said he had been to this one already and so I told him to head west towards Novo and he should pass 2-3 more of them. I pointed him in the right direction. He thanked me, we said our good byes as he ran off into the sunset..

I agree that there should be a harsher penalty for suicides. 30 seconds seems too lenient to me though.. Maybe start the (first offense) timer at a 30 second longer spawn If it is done again within so many minutes, make it 2 minutes longer than the first If again, double the timer, etc I'm also hopeful that the game play will change once more zeds/infected are put in and there are also consequences for shooting your gun at another player. If done so in certain areas, a horde of zombies will head in your direction. I wouldn't necessarily want the zombies to be stronger, but more of them would be fun. The only other issue is that people with less capable hardware will suffer with more zeds on screen. Also, limiting ammo might help in this case too, helping more people to play the hero role to help others.

Good stuff. Did you guys team-kill a couple of your own guys?

Honestly, I just let Eno pick the server. He usually has 1 or 2 primary servers (high pop) he tries to get us in on. He would know the names of them. The reason why I never know, is that I just join off of him in the steam friends list without looking.

What would catch my eye, is the bag being in the middle of the floor with the note in front of it on the floor. I would definitely read that. As for nailing it to the wall, that would be AMAZING. I used to leave a note to my killer with random stuff in it. Most of it indicated that he/she better not mistake my regular bottled water with my urine bottled water. Or that my soul will curse them with diarrhea for weeks, etc. Basically, I couldn't come up with anything clever.

Good stuff!

Those were some great kills. The last two were amazing. I wish I had more beans to give.

Good stuff. I love the way you charge in with no regard for your life just to get the chance at a hold up. I think that alone throws a lot of people off of their game. Although, it can send them into a panic and have a reverse affect. I think I would be one who would do the "holy sh-" *panic spray and pray*

I agree that he would have shot you the first chance he got, even after getting up. You did the correct thing by disarming him. Also, NICE shot to the head. I am not sure why you didn't bandage him like you said you would. I would've swiped his gun and dropped it around the corner (or in a bush) and then quickly ran back to bandage him. Either way, good stuff. I would've also shoved a thermometer up his bum and/or at least told him I did so. It makes for a good conversation starter once they wake up.

I would agree with the dude in the video and say approx 400m. Nice shot!

Actually, it was an AK with the new kashtan scope. Eno was using the same I believe. We both had silencers attached.

Awww, that story pumped me up! Wish I was there.

Lol yes, I don't think I have the one of DaveB shooting the one guy in the face though.. that one made me lol. Not one person complied! I was literally there to give out food, water, and items to whomever wanted but they all were intent on fighting or swan diving off the nearest crane. Oh well.

My "blur" was only when I was running. The distant trees and landscape would blur together when I sprinted. I think his pertains more to to getting hit. Currently, if you get hit and your screen goes blurry, you just need to go into your video settings then back out without changing anything.

Not sure if this one was posted before..

Hit me up on steam if you want to roam around together. http://steamcommunity.com/id/schwabam Good luck!

Really?! Go to any of the new enter-able guard houses. There should be tons of aks, vests, ammo, suppressors, and clips everywhere.

At 6:28 in that video, there is something moving in the trees at the far right of the screen next to the "red" tree. A zed I think..

After 3 days of roaming high pop servers in the north looking for players to interact with, Eno and I were talking about heading to Berezino and then maybe south the next time we could play together. We were just about ready to log near Svetlojarsk when we spotted someone.. then another, and another. Keep in mind, we normally like to engage in chatter with other players, maybe try and hold them up and let them live. But, after the 3 days of not seeing a single soul, I let the bad blood set in and resorted to shooting on sight after the first guy ran away. Sorry dudes! This video is about 11 minutes long but I didn't want to cut out all of the clips that that lead to the end result.
