Alblaka

Coyote Backpack + 3 GPS. Seriously, we found them all within 2 hours... and managed to loose all of them the next day :/ (1 by vehicle despawning, 1 by mate spawning in sea (was an old version), 1 by bandit) Once we found a M107 as well. Sadly we lost it when a quad crashed, killed the co-driver (who had the M107) and the server dropped 12 seconds after the crash. On a sidenote, we found 4 M107 mags across next few hours. Talk about RNG. If you consider "Chopper" 'Gear', we can as well claim to have had 2 choppers across the past days. Trivially we lost both after server restarts (common chopper respawn bug). And after a hacker camped our 3rd chopper attempt, we simply moved to a private hive server :P

Our groups goal is simple: Get a vehicle, find a chopper, gear up and do random stuff. We recently found a chopper and considered using it to fly around (UNARMED!) spawnies for the lulz. Because yeah, after you got gear/ a vehicle there is not much else to do. Oh, and we still have to find a NVG :3 Sadly the server with the chopper went down and is yet to come back (and since we messed up a group of other players who tried to steal the chopper, wasting 3 vehicles of theirs over 2 days, we probably raged some admin or something XD).

I'll try to make it short. We had a van, followed the coastroad, found a boat. Spent 50 minutes driving to the skulia thing island AND FOUND THE CHOPPER. Hurray, we boat'ed back to the mainland, 2 man went to Elektro, one went back to the island and secured chopper. After we got the stuff, we went back, radio'd our mate to meet us at the coast BAM he got sniped mid-sea. Lack of time, we log off. Few hours later we go back in, our third mate confirms (respawned nearby) that server has swimming (without dropping) enabled. He went over and secured choppr again (with an axe). We swam over as well, integrated the first chopper parts, only a few windows missing, fuel leak prevented us from effectively starting. ~2 hours later and 2 more trips we gathered more supplies and some fuel (without incidents, hurays). Awesome moment to lift off with the repaired chopper :3 We landed close to the spot we found our boat at (and had left the van). Van was gone. Meh, we got a chopper! We made our way inland to a semi-remote fuel-source close to open field. Landed chopper and started filling and filling and filling "VAN AND QUAD INCOMING!" Since they were directly heading at us, we opened fire. Oh hell, M240 (mounted), M107 and an AK... Quad took medium damage, driver dead, van exploded in an instant. Then, during looting&securing, we got under unidentified gunfire again. Presumably somebody with a assault rifle from north. only a few minor hits on chopper, no wounds. One guy made his way north, trying to pinpoint the attacker, chopper made his way off into safety, 2 remaining grabbed the quad and went on. Some minutes later, the loner meets up with the chopper in a remote clearing and suddenly LAG BUMP CRIIIIIEK. Enginedamage. We got lucky the chopper didn't explode. We had enough stuff left in the chopper and got it fixed up again. Whilst heading for our HQ camp, the quad decided to show some stunts. 2-3 saltos on random occasions, luckyly without damage. However, when we passed a railroad we suddenly head-bumped into the ground. Quad near instantly catched fire, driver managed to run off just in time, co-driver instadropped to 400 blood and died next to the Quad as it exploded. Derp. Now, driver started looting our fallen teammate (he had a M107) and ... "SErver restart in 3 minutes. Server restart in 1 Minute!" 10 seconds later the server shut down. Chopper managed to land in time, we are yet unaware what things got saved and pray for the best. PS: Server had announced a restart within 15 minutes. 45 minutes now and counting. Given the past days events and the fact we stole the van from a campsite (and later on escaped a chase), we STRONGLY suspect we have met the same guys I've told ya about on the other page... and given they had all vehicles... We're currently making up they may have been admins and now rageshutdown'ed the server :3 Right now we're making up fun ideas how to use the chopper. Probably a shuttle flight service for unarmed newbies? :§ PSPS: Next day, server is still down :/ Now, guess we have to search ourselves a new server/chopper.

EU 291 server, just some minutes ago. We have been running around checking vehicle spawns for multiple days on multiple servers... today we got 'lucky' and found... a bicycle. Now, 'better then nothing' we said and sent one guy running all across the map to find real vehicles whilst our remaining footmen went to closer spawns. North of NE Airfield (Quad Spawn) our scout suddenly started shouting. A van, 2 quads. A quick check resulted that one of the quads was probably a spawnie (damaged), the other two vehicles were fully repaired and the van was full of supplies. Scout grabbed the van and made a run south. We already started planning our, now motorized, raids, when suddenly he heard motor noises and honks: Two guys armed to the teeth (he spotted 2 Assault rifles) followed him on a quad, constantly honking and apparently trying to make him halt. The 'chase' went on for quite a few minutes (~10) containing everything from road, offroad and even railroad chase. At some point, the motor noises suddenly stopped, he checked the backview and saw... a fireball. Followed up by a massive volley of gunfire. Apparently the two managed to run their quad into a wall, but (at least one of them) survived and attempted to bring down the Vans tires... we got lucky, no damage done and only a slight wound to our brave driver. In the end we managed to meet up and now finally got a mobile HQ again. @The two other guys: We assume you two are the guys we stole the Van from. Loosing BOTH your vehicles is your fault :o After discovering your little camp, we decided to merely take one of the vehicles, not intending to rob you of all your mobility. But no, you had to insist to get the Van back :P Btw, you could call yourself lucky as well, 5 minutes further ahead the road we would have gunned you down in a prepared ambush. ;)

Yes. But needs to work properly on distances up to 100m, otherwise it's probably useless.

1. Not 10 minutes. You can get 5 minutes for logging out after being shot by players or 2-10 seconds because of low blood / zombies. 2. You can only get incapted if your blood is lower then 9000. 3. Happens rarely and promotes teamplay / health management.

Haha, had a funny situation with some of your clanguys yesterday :3 Was running around near Stary Sobor (nightserver though) with a mate, we got shot, respawned near Balota. Made my way over to the military camp (duh, who wouldn't) saw some Chemlights and survs moving around. Since I had nothing to loose I simply moved in and started looting, to the suprise of the two guys already in there. Luckyly it were two of the ~four CQF currently playing on a server. -Hi there. -Who's talking. -Me. Friendly. Just grabbing some loot. If there would be loot to begin with. -Could you please leave. -Aww, don't like me? But I can't leave, no ammo and there are zombies right in front of the sandbags. *BAM BAM - Zombies dead.* -Oh, very well, thanks :3 GL Right after the area was cleared I moved on, met another survivor, we exchanged a short GL and moved on. Ah, and btw... found PDW and CoyoteBP on the last tower before you guys came up :P

Actuall I'm sure my fatality-tendancy-mate would prefer being nuked by a hack-spawned bomb then constantly instadieing by tripping across crates and small stones :3

1. Player did see me? 1.1 No. Is he nearby/moving in my general direction? 1.1.1. No. IGNORE HIM. 1.1.2. Yes. WATCH HIM. 1.2 Is player armed? 1.2.1 No. Is he trailing me? 1.2.1.1 No. IGNORE HIM 1.2.1.2 Yes. TELL HIM TO GET LOST, SHOOT HIM IF HE DOESNT COMPLY. 1.2.2 Yes. Is he withing weapon range & looking towards me? 1.2.2.1 No. WATCH HIM 1.2.2.2 Yes. SHOOT HIM Simple. Gets more complicated if you hear some VoN whispering "friendly", though :/ Killing somebody for stats? Yet have to find those stats, to begin with :3 In-Game you only get a pblic counter for zombie-kills :P Killing somebody for fun? Nope, I lack the ahole-ish attitude for that. Killing somebody for loot? Usually not. Either I'm equipped or I'm not... If I'm equipped, "looting" survivors isn't possible unless they got high-end gear, in which case I usually avoid them for exactly that reason. As well looting low-tiers doesnt help me either. If I'm not equipped, to begin with, why should I bother killing somebody? Just going to run around until I either find some good starting equip or simply suicide if luck doesnt work out.

On it. Whenever I've got a toolbox and stumble across a barbed wire, I'll cut it for ya ^^

Random idea: Give bicycles the ability to be packed up into your backpack slot (and of cause make them redeployable as well). (In combination with the common suggestions regarding nerf of bicycle speed and increase of their frequency) Main use would be to EITHER set yourself up as a scout / courier (can enter buildings by packing up the bicycle without getting it stolen, etc) or permit people to story bicycles in other vehicles (realism).

1. Friend of said person simply kills the bountied person 2. Friend collects rewards 3. Reward goes 50:50 to previously bountied person 4. Person kills even more players 5. THAT's profit

If you're going with the monthly fee thing, regardless of how awesome DayZ may be(come), I would drop it. You can get new games on Steam for as much as 5$. Unless your monthly fee is about 1/12th of that price, DayZ couldn't compete in any way. I would NOT mind spending 10-20 bucks on BUYING DayZ as a sole-standing game, though, if the changes to an "own" engine are worth the transfer. Permitting everyone to host servers is standard for most games, but given your character is stored GLOBALLY this would make exploiting too easy. Either stick with the current server policy OR (and I wouldn't mind this) make characters server-side only (as well resolves all server-hopping issues) whilst permitting everyone to create his own dedicated servers.

Server crashes from time to time... but seriously, who cares? Simply spam the chat with this information and people will watch not to spam the server with fake ammo and it will last even longer.

Recently had a streak of baaaaad mood... found a CZ near Elektro and decided to play evil bandit for once, climbed a tower and started chatting with people in my sights (Regular server). "Hi anika." Anika was killed. "Bye anika." "Oh, hello target, do you want to be my target?" (his name really was 'target') "Hey, no climbing on higher ground, bad boy!" target was killed. "Hi mark. I can see you." "What do you offer me if I do not shoot you?" *** was killed (forgot his name) "See, I shot your companion, you want to offer me something now?" (Due to target suddenly popping up, mark managed to escape... later one hunted him down with a winchester, as well as his friend, though they wounded me lethally.) *** was killed. Mark was killed. Alblaka was killed. "Finally, couldn't live with myself letting you escape :3" Mark: "Hope it was worth it you ****" Had a bus. Heard steps. Turned around, saw a suvivor, pulled gun, he went prone and chatted 'don't shoot me'. He was an unarmed spawnie. "Fine, I will not shoot you, but you better get off here. "Because that's MY vehicle." He moved towards the bus. "If you get any closer, I'll gun you down." He looked towards me, the bus, me, and sidesteped towards it. *** was killed. ***: "lol" "Told ya."
