I'm just saying a cool down or something should be present when getting things out of the bag.

I reside in Elecktro as a reformed bandit. I hunt bandits and help survivors out of sticky situations in multiple servers. PM me as i would like to work alongside (NOT inside) your group to better the specific area. Best of luck to The Walking Militia, keep fighting the good fight.

So I will be honest here, of late I have been caught up in a lot of banditry... Notches on my desk to keep track of PKs, and lets just say me and a friend have killed over 40 in the last three days on top of the hospital in Elektro. Sometimes we do not even loo the bodies. When I started Day Z I wanted to be a survivor like many of you... The first time you see someone with a M16A2 down your sights your true character comes out. Lets say that after that encounter I was looking for STANAG ammo... Anyways the point of this thread is to help new players. I will remain in Elecktro helping out those I feel truly need it. I will frequent places like the church, the one firestation in the city, the hospital and other areas to find people in a sticky situation. So if you are ever in a bad spot in Eleckro, know that bandits may be on the way to sounds of firearms... to help. -Frozen Out

Realistically I disagree. It is realistic to need to open your inventory to get something as I for one cannot grab things through telekinesis...

I like this idea a lot. It forces more player cooperation to gather the required materials and also guard the base. My problem with anything owned in this game however is permanence. Even with three quarters of the server "part" of your city, at one time inevitably everyone's work could be lost in an instant. I understand that Day Z is a realism focused game but I really wish at least with something as big as this semi-permanence is present.

Any reason for lost gear? Also none of my friends who i was playing with lost any items or spawned in different areas. [EDIT] Also I was in hills, not a forest.

6/20/12, 9:20 est Server restart, rejoined without items in "wilderness" From research everything points to "debug hills" but it was labeled wilderness rejoining sever after restart 1.7.1.5 Seattle 30 Looting around Balota airfield hangers, Red-chain appeared and something in red to the effect of "No reply in X seconds" (X went up the longer i waited) I left, came back and spawned in a hilly area with no grass and a few other players, all without items except for 1 whom appeared to be AFK. Really upsetting because i had been on that character for a while, if item restoration is possible it would be greatly appreciated, if not I completely understand. Main focus being on not happening again.

So I have been playing a lot of day z lately and have come across several assault rifles including AKM, M16A2, AK74 (Kobra and not), and the AKS74U. In my opinion this is the differences; AKM-Common, longer range and stronger M16A2-Rare-ish, longer range, great for PVP (self defense of course:D) AK74-Moderately common, medium range, medium damage -"Kobra" version need a second to render shape? AKS74U-Rare, short-medium range, good for unplanned inter-city encounters (finding a hostile survivor whilst looting) What are your opinions on these (and other) assault rifles at the moment? Gotta say right now i'm loving the M16A2...

I play a lot at night too with another friend. We would most certainly like to have another person for night trips/raids. We are not bandits but we are not afraid of a fight either. Obviously it will be a little awkward at first until we fully trust each other but PM me, it would be nice to have another person to rely on.

No, but you sir... you are a god...

Me and a friend were wandering around CHerno with few supplies after starting the game only the day before. He had an AKM and I had the Winchester we just found upstairs in a small house. People call out from the first floor because they hear out footsteps. "They" (we thought it was 1 or 2 people) said they were friendly and we said we were too. I proposed we team up and go to a military base which they agreed to. Upon reaching the top of the stairs the first guy had an Ak-74 (which i desired soooo badly...) he caught 4 rounds in the neck of my friends AKM and died instantly. His friend come up with a Winchester and hits me twice in the chest and receives a full 1911 mag in return, with a few AKM for the kill. At this point i cannot stay conscious and my friend is attempting to bandage and give me a blood transfusion, which was successful. We thought the gun fight was over and begin looting our kills (who were very well off) when a third member comes up with an M9 hitting me more than 4 times an being dropped by a mixture of fire from my new AK and my friend AKM. After the bandaging i am around 3000 blood and struggling to stay conscious. we decide to leave due to the spam of "who is shooting in Cherno!" cries. As we exit I am hit with some sniper round in my hip, instantly killing me. My friend conveniently sprinted away using my death as a distraction. Karma... yousa betch...

Those are indeed the sounds... Too scary to all be in a hanger crying like babies... Haha thanks for the link.

I was with him. Trust me it was from the game, everyone in the server was freaking out. Russians heard it too i believe due to the spamming of chat. Very scary, as he said we all left.
