Shanks (DayZ)

This is a quality idea, hope it works out!

I don't think they're bugged anymore, there were a few issues with their LOS, but I THINK thats been fixed, you can also hide from them now, which is good because before the patch I literally ran for 15 minutes with a pack of zeds running after me, got old super quick haha. the Zeds sight is now alot better though, so they can see you from quite far away, I spent the other day in Cherno on the belly the whole time, seemed to work, but took some time getting around :P if you ever want to team up, my in name game is Alex and if you use steam send me your account name and I'll add you, me and my friend are always looking for more people to band together with :)

I generally find that you can book it all the way to one of the major towns with nothing, as soon as you get there, look out for either the church or the shops with a door on the corner (I'm pretty sure they're pubs/bars) they seem to have a fair few drinks, including empty canteen's to take, and normally a weapon, once you got the basic gear, head up north, to the towns and villages up there, it SEEMS to be a lot quieter up there( I haven't my skull popped yet), and they also have wells to refill your canteen, providing you have one. I personally haven't really had any trouble running close to the shore, but that might be me. Also there is an air strip with a few medical tents near Balota, although it's not advisable to go there unarmed, as theres normally a fair few zed's and can be other players there willing to shoot on sight.

I've added the group on steam (Y)

Looks like an interesting film :D might check it out

Just seems like the whole trust aspect has now gone, because it's all about getting shot on sight, even people that used to be trusting have just given up on it now and have had to start shooting people down because they're scared that the other person is going to do exactly the same to them. I do feel the need for the pvp otherwise it'd be pretty dull not having to think about whether you can trust this player you've just met, and the buzz you get from making that decision really seperates this mod from anything else I've played, but I fear that its totally gone now

People tend to kill for sport, not for loot, which is a bit annoying, but I suppose in the situation you would get some maniac's doing that

One time purchase in the way minecraft did it, that would be sick

Hey dude, me and my mate have been playing for a week or so, uk based, we wouldn't mind grouping up, both friendly etc, the more the better :)

Since the new patch I've found SO many cans of drink it's unreal, it seems to be lack of food for me

Hey guys, I'm Shanks, (Alex in game),Been playing for about a week now, I'm in the UK and generally try to play on servers that are in the day time cycle, (UK early evening, US late evening), wouldn't mind teaming up with people as bandits tend to hinder me and my buddy's time alive. Both of us have skype etc and are friendly in game unless fired upon See in there!

No you don't u can play once a day for a hour only and still be in. we just require u to not die much so you can meet us up at north with the new patch I mananged to hop it from spawn up north with a group of zeds on my back and lose them in the super market, so it's not too bad ;) but yeah, usually on till latest 1am uk time weekdays, saturdays about 5am LOL

Do you have to be super active? me and a buddy play normally around 8 onwards, earlier sometimes, keep getting ganked after we've found decent stuff so a group may be handy.
