  1. Recently I found a bicycle in a forest near Cherno and decided to ride it to NW airfield. It was night time and I had NVG. By a complete accident I ran over a guy who was crossing a road, but didn't kill him. I turn around and see he is crawling away probably with a broken bone having to idea what happened. So I did him a favor and ran him over again to kill him.
  2. I've killed snipers with point blank shots to the back of the head from silenced M4 in the hills around electro quite a few times. If you camp on a hill with a big slope you are extremely easy to spot both from above and below.

    Where do Ghillie suits spawn?

    Three suits I found this week were in a chopper crash, Devil's Castle and NW Hangar.

    What weapon was underwhelming to you?

    I was disappointed by MP5SD. While it is great for taking out zombies, it just felt awful in a stand up fight. I'd hit people 8+ times and they would still be running around.

    Best item/vehicle you've fount?

    Found a silenced MP5, silenced M4 in NW barracks and 3 FN Fals with no ammo in a chopper crash right outside. Not the best I've found, but quite odd.

    People...WTF is wrong with you?

    When I go killing people I do not particularly care if they have weapons or not. By the time I got to the South cities I usually have all the ammo and supplies I need, so I don't even bother to loot people unless I've seen them having a rare weapon.

    F***! day 16-17 and killed!

    I died today on my longest run. 9 Days, 500+ zombie kills, 45 murders. My group stopped by at Stary Sobor to pick up some ammo at the tents, we checked the area from hills for about 20 minutes, then I go down loot everything and near the last tent take a sniper hit, instant death. Pretty sure I saw the asshole while I was scanning the hills too, but I lost sight of him.

    Server Hoppers.

    1.7.1.5 loot patterns

    I haven't had any issue with loot from the 20 people I've killed today. Most had more than enough ammo and supplies.

    You know you killed a CoD puppy when....

    My squad dropped more than 50 people today and I've heard a number of funny QQ. Several people said I was a bad shot while they bled to death in a corner. A guy with a silenced MP5 and camo was complaining that he is friendly. Another guy shot me in the back and followed me inside a building where my friend killed him so he decided to complain that we are hackers for 30 minutes. We also ran into some respawns with no weapons who kept trying to get away while yelling random insults, I'd shoot them in the legs and my friends would crowbar their ass to death, was quite hilarious.
  11. I only died 3 times in a month I played, but to be honest I find the cycle I roll with as very entertaining. I go around in a 3-4 man squad, we usually start out scavenging basic gear and making our way north towards sobor tents and then clear out all the gear in NW airfield until we get what we want. Then we go to electro or cherno and wipe out everyone we see until most of us are dead, then we rinse and repeat. It's like getting to play both sides of the game.

    Any bandits enjoy CQC?

    CQC is too risky because of how awful it is in arma. I usually wipe out cherno and electro with a geared squad and we just frag buildings if we know someone is in there.

    Chopper loot at last!

    It feels like the chopper spawn rate was changed. In my first 3 weeks I found 1 chopper, in past 24 hours I found 5 of them. Best thing I got though was just a DMR.

    Pretty convinced everyone is a bandit.

    I don't consider myself a bandit, if I hear someone shooting or I run into them in close space I will kill them on sight. It is just too much risk to assume a person will be friendly when they are pointing a gun at you. I kill people who are shooting because even if they are killing zombies they are most likely being careless to begin with and I will be safer by putting a bullet in their back. The way the game is right now it's just not worth it to try and play nice, avoidance if your best chance to survive. The game is also much more entertaining playing with a few friends with voice comm.
  15. Zombie hordes are going to be driving around in cars looking for survivors to gank.
  16. Don't think I can agree with murder rates going down, although I have started playing on daytime servers much more recently. Last night in Cherno I heard shots fired with barely any breaks for like 30 minutes and several kill messages every minute. I think respawn players are heading into the two big towns in bigger numbers now to quickly get some guns.
  17. I found 3 GPS in the past few days, 2 of them were in NW airfield hangars and one was in Sobor tents. Only found NVG once in a downed chopper.

    First impressions/experiences of a "New Guy".

    That's quite a story you wrote there. It's good to see new players that are actually learning the game through experience rather than crying about it on forums, welcome.
  19. I don't aggro zombies often, but I haven't found it easy to lose them. Just earlier today I got a horde of about 15 on me at the NW airfield, I ran through every building leading to the fire station and then climbed to the top of it only to have pretty much all of them follow me up the stairs.

    How I survived PITCH BLACK NIGHTS

    In my experience the current night is fun to do, but only if you do it like once a week. To add to the obvious problems the sound directions in this game is pretty awful, zombies anywhere near you sound as if they are are right next to you in unknown direction. I think it's pretty stupid to crawl into zombies in cities due to complete darkness, and lighting up a flare there you are asking to get owned by someone with NVG.

    No weapon at spawn

    I don't see the no weapon start as an issue, but to be honest I wouldn't care in the slightest if they brought it back. People who start fights with zombies using crap weapons are just free kills for bandits. The game is about avoiding zombies, not killing them. On a populated server making the first shots in a loot heavy area is like a death sentence, having no weapon to start with at least forces you to learn how to use stealth effectively.
  22. I live in US but I came here from Russia. In my experience many Russian players prefer the hardcore and/or sim style games compared to the popular flashy ones like BF3 and MW2. DayZ is one of the very few quality games that fits into that category. I think this trend developed because PC gaming is still far less popular in Russia than in the West due to the lack of access to computers outside of the cities and so the gaming community has remained a pretty close group.

    How often are your camps raided?

    With a small group we haven't bothered using camps since it seems to be a severe time sink that could easily become pointless if discovered by someone. I think the huge amount of downtime that comes from making and/or searching for camps makes the game boring, on new characters I'd rather risk it with military camps. I've also never really tried to steal from camps that I've run into because they seem like perfect sniper bait set up in an open field.
