To All New Players Hoping To Find A Place In A Complicated And Dangerous World You bring up your gun, your looking down the sights. You feel a drop of sweat run down the side of your cheek, your head feels hot, and the gun gets harder to steady. You're not sure if he's friendly, but you aren't going to risk it, you've died too many damn times, and can't take any more crap. You bring your gun up one last time, take a deep breath, pray he doesn't bitch on the forums, and squeeze the trigger. Bang. He drops, and you quickly rush over to gather your new food, weapons and ammo. You've got it all, and you feel good. You finally have the map and matches you need to get out of beans wars. As your making your way up a hill, finally heading inland, you hear the distinct sound of gunfire. Woosh, snap, pop pop. You get down, look around, don't see shit, and keep moving, hoping you don't get hit, after all, you used your last bandage fighting off those zombies. Whoooosh, smack. You're bleeding, badly, you role over unconscious, not knowing what to do. You Are Dead --------------------------------------------------------------------- I think it's fair to say, we've all had this experience before, and I know that we all get angry when we're this close to getting out of that starter area, finally feeling like our investment was worth it. This game is ruthless, unforgiving, and has a steep learning curve when trying to survive. You need to make mistakes and learn from them to get good. This is where we come in. Who are we? We're Just Another Group, or JAG for short. We're a tight, closed-circuit, off the map professional group with hundreds of hours of experience in Arma and DayZ. Recently, the number of new players being unable to leave 'bean wars' has been, quite frankly, shocking, and we want to assist in increasing the Average Life Expextancy counter, and help the numbers rise a bit. Myself and the other members of the group would like to help out any newly started players, and their friends, get out of the towns along the coast, whilst providing you with the best advice in the game to make sure once you reach inland, you stay alive. We are based in Europe but we don't have a problem working with people from the other side of the world, as long as we can get the times sorted out. Wait... What?! What Exactly is This? What we are basically offering is an escort service, we will meet up with you, then help take you out of the coastal areas and bring you inland. While doing this, we'll make sure you get enough gear and supplies to keep you alive, when we leave you to fend for yourself. Simple, Right? Oooh, OK. I Get It, But How Do I Take Advantage of This? Essentially what would happen is: 1. You contact me, either on the forum or on steam. We chat on TS/Skype about the game a bit and how you're finding it, just so I can get to know you a bit so I can trust you. And so you can trust me. 2. We meet up, me and one other member of JAG, and get down to business. We have a nice time, we answer all your questions, we find you some nice equipment, and then we part ways. 3. We wish you luck, and ask that you post about your experience here, so people know we don't just want to steal their beans :-) Why are we doing this? Who knows, it's just a part of us wanting to make the mod as enjoyable for others as it is for us, and we know that the starting week is a bitch, so we're trying to ease the pain for some people. Anyway, that's my long ass post about trying to help the community, maybe you'll want it, maybe you won't. If you don't understand something, please feel free to PM me or send me a message on steam! Many Thanks, flavouredmax I have currently stopped taking requests on steam and now will only be answering to PMs on these forums. Thanks. Awesome DayZ Let's Play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9qVYPAsrQI&feature=plcp Screenshots and pictures to make the thread more attractive coming soon! IMPORTANT: Wow! Looks like the response has been great! Because of the fantastic number of people wanting to get escorted, we ask that any player looking to contact me please be patient with receiving your escort, it takes about 2-3 hours to get someone off the coast and inland with nice gear. Expect on weekends the number of people we are able to get through to be much more. We do promise to get back to people within 48 hours. Thank you for your understanding. :-)

NE airfield generally doesn't get a lot of visitors. It's basically useless, so when you see 1- 2 people, especially at night, you really aren't going to see any more. If you want to snipe people, you're probably better off going to the North West Airfield or Berezino. A lot more action in those places, but a lot more risky.

We love you Sariss xP

Allow me to clear some thing up regarding Stri's post. What had actually happened was this: we had accidently left our teamspeak server information, and the location of our base camp, on our steam page thinking it was private. Stri had obviously come across this and had decided to join the teamspeak server, and play some DayZ with the rest of the group. When he had joined the teamspeak, there were two other member of the group. After a harsh introduction, Stri had claimed that he had spoken to me, and that he was allowed to join the group, or something like that. So, the two members treated him with the kindness and respect that we would treat any new recruit. They didn't know however that he hadn't been allowed to do this. Later when I was able to get on steam, I confronted him about this, and was greeted with an outrageous attitude, and him claiming that "you should make sure you keep your steam private next time, im playing with these guys now". When I learnt that what he had done was snoop around, find our teamspeak information, and invite himself into the group, without any permission from anyone, especially not from our teamspeak server owner and that he just violated the privacy of the group (yes, respect the fact that you don't just barge and become 'part of the gang'), i was furious! Wouldn't you be? So i said to him, "that is just wrong", "you're ridiculous" and "you think you can just go through private information and invite yourself in?" and promptly ended my conversation with him there. I have since spoken to the two members of the group, and they both strongly feel that what Stri had done was wrong in every way, and we have all agreed we will not be playing with him at any point in the future.

Hi guys, I'm writing this on behalf of my buddy who's been having a few issues with his account. Basically his password is incorrect and he can't change it because the email verification doesn't work. Unfortunately he can't file a support request either because that feature is currently not working, so does anyone know who he should contact, does anyone have a support email or something? If you do know who to contact, you're a life saver. Many Thanks, flavouredmax and MilkyWay

We don't strictly teach. We just point out and make sure you know things as we help you get out of whatever sticky situation you're in. Think of it in 2 steps. Step 1: Get your ass out of wherever the hell you are. Step 2: Once we're off the coast, we get you equipped, and give you a bunch of info and survival tips like where the best gear is, how to avoid bandits, how to stay alive etc. While doing this we answer any questions you might have about the game. Hope this clears some things up :)

We actually have our own server which we nearly always play on, otherwise we're on polish or netherlands servers, seeing as they are generally the highest quality in Europe.

No! Not that kind of escort service! haha Thanks for the kinds words, I'm just hoping that maybe people will realise we're actually serious about this, and arent just going to roll with this new idea for a week then just stop, we'd like this to be an ongoing thing. As long as there are new players wanting some help, we'll always be ready to give them it.
