i wish it was possible to give rotten bananas instead of beans

Back in the Day it used to be Polana/Krasnostav NEAF area. But ever since they made everyone spawn in three valleys, solni, and berezino it has become a loot wasteland with camping kiddies and theire Mosins hiding in the jails and sniper hill making the entire east coast a waste of time unless youre actively looking for a fight. I must say i really love Zelenogorsk with surrounding areas now. its like the old NEAF, only frequented by players who knows how to get around the map and the Value of loot there is pretty darn good compared to the east.

A zombie apocalypse would be the best scenario Happening event

Came upon a interesting bug last night while playing experimental. Finally found a durable leather jacket (badly damaged.) and went on to look for a sewing kit in svetlo. My character was still "soaking wet" after looting the ship off the coast of Berezino when i found a sewing kit in svetlo. Used it and the jacket became Ruined instead of worn. Oh well, found a friendly Swede along the way who hiked along. Good times.

Thanks alot for frequent great updates. Also, the search for Joe continues as we speak. Last known location: Spotted North of Dolina, red canvas pants and no tshirt.

Back in the day before cheaters exsisted, ladders was a gamble, and there were only a handfull of servers online and people actually played during nighttime, me and my brother went on to a trip to Berezino for the first time when we spot a flare in the distance. We watched it for quite some time before we decided to investigate. We see a dude running in and out of the northern-most appertments doing something so we figure its a trap to lure people in. We sneak closer and closer until we're about 70 meters or so away. I then get a glimpse of a second guy hiding inside the top floor and i know by now that its most definetly the entrance to a slaughterhouse. About a minute later the first guy pops up onto the third floor balcony. Without thinking i fire two AKM shots, first in his chest the second to his head. He died instantly. I can remember i was shaking like hell, but i didnt feel any guilt because i felt we were in a dangerous position and they would kill us if they saw us. We went upstairs to check his body knowing there was a second guy there. He was waiting ontop with his crosshairs aimed downstairs at us. We exchanged fire and we were both hit. He took me to 6k blood in one hit with what i believe now was a m14, i panicked and ran downstairs to bandage up. Waited downstairs for a good 30 minutes or so (lol) before i dared to go upstairs, he nor the corpse was there. First kill and first combat logg in one encounter.

I would play the standalone even if the only weapon available was a makarov, game crashes every 20min and every zombie was a mike tyson.

It still desyncs from time to time. Sometimes its just the individual and sometimes the entire server gets out of sync for a short while. its hard to really give an accurate assesment, but its not terribad and absolutely playable even with a bad internet connection and living 9 timezones away from the server which gives me an average ping of 170ms ~. Today has been pretty good atleast. some desync here and there, but all in all its pretty stable. (stable enough to enjoy playing.)

I love this mod. Even with the desync/server issues at the moment its far more enjoyable than what vanilla DayZ has been for a long time. Loot drought can be an awesome experience aswell, reminds me of when hatchets were brought into the game in version 1.7.x.x and it messed with food/beverage spawns. Entire towns and cities without it. I actually died of hunger for the first time yesterday as no loot was spawned in the 6-7 cities i ventured into. wasted all my ammo on zeds, but no can of beans to be found :( I actually like having little food and drinks around, it makes that empty water bottle and the occasional box of matches much more valuable.

oh okay thanks for the info. :)

So what just happened? http://bildr.no/view/1291215 Some hacker spawning in vehicles to half the server or..?

http://bildr.no/view/1290287 Riding my motorcycle to check out this deerstand. see 3 zeds spawn while on the way. Ok cool, gonna have to LoS them around a tree. Climb the ladder and loot.. Nothing of significance. Look up see this, shit brix.

I really like the idea of adding in a barracks at the NEAF to make people spread more out instead of the usual stary/NW loot runs. Also, i'd love to see some alteration with the smaller "useless" towns. Maybe by adding some sort of Military checkpoint? Something similar to what is by the road at balota, but in a smaller scale. Say 1-2 Deerstands and one Military tent capsuled in sandbags. Example towns that could be made more "attractive" is Gorka, Sosnovka, Staroye and Gvozdno. would keep it evenly spread around the map with a tad more concentration to the east. This way people might actually pay former "useless" towns a visit and every once in a while be lucky enough to hit paydirt..

Alt + f4 solution is good as it is. Been killed a couple of times due to getting kicked for high ping while playing at my friends house with shitty connection, but thats it and it doesnt bother me at all really. anything else will just open the opportunity to combat log without REAL consequences imo..

FM radio + tuner. Scanning a variety of set frequencies in the hopes that someone else also has one and is doing the same thing. Thermal blanket/raincoat/sleepingbags as alternate ways of staying warm/gaining heat. Camouflage nets/Locks with key(s) for better hiding of your base / security. also a way to break in using misc tools (small crowbar, screwdriver,hammer,wire clipper etc) that you could stash in the toolbox, could also be used to saboutage a vehicle. A much wider variety of household weaponry, especially soviet era ones. AK variants, mosin nagant, .22 cal hunting rifles / pistols, flare gun. Vodka, both for drinking and combined with a piece of paper and a box of matches making a molotov, small handheld tossable fire.

Party in Solnichny tonight it seems. URAL guys running around like crazy looking for parts while a fresh spawn tries to jack it, some other dude attempting a good old road-bandit technique with an AKM. Too bad i died to a tree as i was lining up for a shot against one of the wheels to cause even more confusion :(

Achievement Unlocked! Christmas came early. Find a dead survivor killed by a tree, giving you free presents.

Also the GPS seems to be a bit too common, found 3x (!) on a dead survivor by a heli crash yesterday and i had another one the day before which i also found from a guy.

Crashed helis still gives away smoke making you see them from miles away. Only found one so far after the patch, but it did indeed emit smoke.

Just out of curiosity; how is the offmap hoarding/camp placement issue adressed? I'd like to see some sort of insta death or a 30sec warning upon leaving the intended map area of any kind, simply to prevent what happens on most servers after a while where every vehicle is hidden far away from anyone but the owners reach.

Had a blast today testing this! My first guy spawned in elektro, so i looted it and went for the castle where i found what looked like one of them new choppers burned out, i scrolled on it and it insta exploded me to death for some reason :P Repaired a hippie-van and went to the NE airfield where i got killed trying to fix the UAZ that was there. Some guy came up rolin in his ATV with his FN FAL so i tried to wait him out and hope he didnt see me, in which case he did :( Got geared up from a dude at nw airfield then went looking for another vehicle.. Found the SUV which ive never seen before. All red, but the wheels in order so now i have myself the pimpest ride :)

Installed and sent you a PM regarding whitelisting :) Hope to see ya'll in chernarus soon.

Taking bets while bandit A's dog is up against bandit B's dog in a controlled and planned environment would be awesome. Chernarus bookmaking.

M14 is the best choice against other players, unless you need to fire at 500 meters +

G17 all day errday. Superior accuracy, superior magazine size, superior RoF, built in flashlight and can use 9mm ammo from the m9 so ammo is NOT rare at all.
