Massacerist

So I logged out yesterday after traveling almost the entire map a few times to find a heli crash site. Found two, and at one I picked up an L85A2 AWS assault rifle. This thing is absolutely amazing, saved my ass probably 3 times coming back down from the northern point I found it at. I log back in this morning, all my gear just as I left it, except my rifle is gone. It took me all day to find that thing, and now its just gone like I never had it to begin with? Has anyone else had this happen? Any way to get my amazing gun back?

Thinking this might be a hacked in vehicle, or at least hacked in gear inside it. Any thoughts?

absolutely yes

this one also had 10, as well as 30 ak mags and 10 SVD mags, along with a tent and some other gear.

ahh well then i guess i just picked myself up a nice new UAZ :D

Regulator AS50/AKM makarov, haven't found a better sidearm yet this life lol rangefinder/nvg's other stuff

Yea ive definitely had more luck finding them in brick buildings and apartments. the other day in cherno i found two ghilles and a camo outfit on my way out of the city. pretty good day there.

^THIS^ was just on a high population server, worked my ass off for days getting awesome gear. server got hacked and teleported everyone to some random location on the map and removed all the gear from my inventory with the exception of tools and by pack. back to low population for me. :(

happened to me too the other day, lost my week long character with a lot of good gear. shit happens

Luckiest: Wandering around in Stary I hear a helicopter flying nearby. It does a fly over and kills two guys I didn't know were in the city with me but misses me (already kinda lucky). Start leaving west end of Stary and they spot me, then try to aggro all the zombies and bring them to me. I fight them all off with a PDW and by weaving through bushes and trees. They must have thought I was dead, because they fly off for a bit. Start leaving Stary again and find another Heli, not in working order though. Queue jerks in working heli! They fly over me, I lay down in the bushes so they cant see me (i had a ghille suit and an SVD camo). They land their working heli right next to the broken down one. I pop up and shoot one in the neck, he goes down instantly but logs out, other one has no idea what to do and runs back to the heli they arrived in, and I take him out with a headshot. 5 minutes later another guy shows up and I take him out too. 3 kills = 2 helicopters. Unluckiest: My buddy shows up to fly the heli to camp ( i have no idea how to fly them). Gets in, flies no more than 200 yards, THUNDERDOMED. Lost both helis and my buddy dies.

So which is the one with the helmet and camo gear then? I've seen a couple guys standing around (dead and bugged i assume) in what looks like full military gear with a helmet and everything.

Do any of the kids whining on thee threads really know how hard it is to make a mod like this? Any idea how much balls Rocket has for releasing it to the public? He gave us this, his own creation, to do with as we please. There are so many variables to deal with, so many glitches to sort, not just from the mod but the ARMA engine as well. A mod like this one is outstanding and brilliant. NONE OF YOU LITTLE WHINY BITCHES SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT. "oh no my gun disappeared!" "oh no i got sniped again!" "oh no the skin i got deleted my pack!" GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Play this amazingly well made mod, that none of you could ever hope to create in the amount of time Rocket did, stop bitching about the small problems, and ENJOY THE GAME FOR ONCE. This ends my rant. Thank you Rocket for creating this mod, I appreciate your willingness to share an unfinished game with the world, and only hope that you get more money than EA once the standalone is complete. :D

Hackers like that are very entertaining. give me a hacker that makes the game more interesting rather than one that teleports everyone 100ft into the air any day! ^ THIS ^

this crack is waaaaay too good to put down >.< and yes i know im being hypocritical about the whole thing, just needed to let my frustrations out.

I'm sure that's true, but I'm just sick of all the people screaming and crying about issues in the game and then flaming the entire mod claiming its a "pos" and stuff like that. Mods are hard to make, and constructive criticism would help more than destructive criticism.

I had one for all of about an hour. Used it to kill two guys as they got out of their helicopter, one in the neck, he bled out pretty fast, the second in the head while he was running around in circles not knowing what to do. Then BAM! Thunderdomed.

I'm a big fan of the "herd" idea. 40-100 zombies all together roaming the map would be terrifying!

Just happened to me and my buddies while we were flying around in a newly procured (stolen) helicopter on US 691 =/ Very sad day indeed.

I ask that you read the post again "ThA_WiZ1". I never mentioned that he killed you. Nor did I mention anything about your name being "unfortunate" as you say. I in fact said, "other equally ridiculous name" because it is quite ridiculous. Also I know that my name isn't a word, I know the English language quite well. It is meant to be pronounced phonetically, rather than have proper spelling or meaning.

I must interject my friends. As fun as trolling children is, I think we're forgetting the important fact that was shared at the very beginning of this post. Let us all have a moment of silence for the two players that were so unfortunately killed by oEvilMod and his friend with the other equally ridiculous name. Thank you.

I am enjoying this thread.

They both have the same damage now, 1911 is still quieter than the revolver, but in terms of power they are both equal. granted they are both worthless now anyway =/

My first murder experience came while I was in Elektro. Me and a guy I met on the coast had teamed up to better our chances of survival. We roamed around finding body after body of dead players, it was actually quite creepy considering the numbers. Looting the bodies netted us a coyote backpack and each an MP5 with plenty of ammo. It was a pretty good haul, but we were still in need of other basic gear such as matches, food, maps, and compasses. We entered the local market in Elektro to scavenge, found what we needed and were about to be on our merry way. He then said, "oh, I have to leave" and with that I was alone in Elektro, with some great starting gear to head north. Anyone who saw me would know I had good gear just judging from the backpack (first time I had ever seen a coyote backpack in the game) and would kill me as soon as look at me. Thats when I heard a player running around the market. He seemed to be being chased because his character was in full panic mode. I sat in the back of the store waiting to see if he was going to be a threat, or if he needed any help. A few seconds went by of him rummaging through the supplies me and my partner had left, then he headed for the back of the store. I had my gun up and waiting this entire time, just to be safe. He comes around the corner and I see a brand new player with nothing but a hatchet in hand. He just stopped and stared at me for about 5 seconds, saying nothing. He then proceeds to run at me with a hatchet, and takes a swing. He misses, I don't. I pumped 8 rounds point blank into his chest with my MP5. He dropped, and i put one more in his head for good measure. I have no idea what possessed him to try and take me on with just a hatchet, but it didn't work out to his favor. I don't regret killing him, but I hope he regrets trying to kill someone who could have been a strong ally.

I actually found one today, also had an m107 and a coyote backback, first time ive ever seen one of those either, and right as i left the building i found it in i got shot in the back by some douche with a winchester =/ sandbags are bad luck! pray you never find them.

I see this as a good and bad thing. On the good side many players will not only want to team up with others, but now will HAVE to team up with others.This adds to the realism of a zombie apocalypse because honestly, who would really want to venture forth into that kind of a world by themselves? Overall this game is more fun with a team mate or two in my opinion. Granted I know not everyone sees it that way. Scavenging intelligently will also be a better payoff. More shots to kill a zed = more importance to finding and using ammo. The bad things though far outweigh the good. For instance, the 1911 is now useless. This is a gun that nearly every player in the game wants or needs. It is by far the best pistol in the game, and perhaps in the world. The AK family getting nerfed is borderline retarded as well. Those are amazingly well put together weapons, with power to spare, though not much accuracy. They are also more common it seems in the game than any m16 m3 or m4 variant. So now instead of a single shot, or two shots if you happen to graze them, you're forced to unload nearly an entire mag into one zed in a game where you're vastly outnumbered. Lone wolf players will now be quite screwed over unless they find someone they can trust to play with. So yea, there are a couple good points to this nerf, but it is completely outweighed by the bad. Hopefully Rocket will find a way to remedy what the ARMA 2 dev team has broken.
