Still roaming freely. Had a good firefight where I dropped two hostiles today. WargameKlok, I think I will be posting your image soon. There will likely be a number of those crimson fountains squirting from your body in the picture. Don't get too worked up about the visual aspect of the encounter. It should be a quick death.

He snuck into the back of the grocery store for a box of cereal and ended up looking like swiss cheese. And, here is one where Bobo wanted to snag a box of cereal out of the kitchen cubbard in my castle. This is a different type of vermin. When the PCGN Private server went live with fresh characters, I caught this rat trying to discover my cache of cereal in the barn.

After being gently delivered to the spot by helicopter... Can I jump off the top of the Cherno city hall clock tower to collect the prize myself?

I will grow a full head of hair and a beard that touches the floor before I drop into the old pine box.

What's the current value of the bounty on these two fine gentlemen? I see that I am now a "Wanted" man... Tracking down this convict will not be a simple task. After the outbreak, survival was a day-to-day challenge. The hurdles are not as tall as they once were. I feel confident I will live a long life and my in-game character will smile over the bodies of those who have tried, but failed to snuff out the light. See you on the Battlefield! =SWF=sfscriv p.s. Taz sends his regards, as well

http://spartanwarfig..._halloween2.png Saturday, November 3, 2012 from 1600 hours (4 p.m.) to 2000 hrs (8 p.m.) Eastern Time I woke up on the beach. “Where the hell am I?” Disoriented and cold, I began to remember a living horror.“Was it a dream?” In the distance, I could hear howling and screaming. I pinched myself and did not wake. I quickly came to realize this was reality. I was thrown into a survival situation and began to feel the burning desire to live deep within. “What do I need to do?” “Where should I go?” “Who can assist me?” I inventoried my equipment. “Man, I am in a hurt locker!” I noticed in the night time surf something floating. It’s a clear glass bottle with a cork in it and, “Wait?!”, there’s a message. The message read: http://spartanwarfig..._halloween3.png During hours of limited visibility, find rare items along the coast in vicinity of the main southern cities. But, beware of the tricks the PCGN staff have in-store for you; for they are plotting against you. Live or DIE as the zombies hunger for a fresh kill and thirst for warm blood.

Image - DayZ: http://dayzmod.com/ Why is DayZ so different from other online First Person Shooter (FPS) games? o Threat Management – Frequent attempts to avoid Zombie detection, conflict resolution with aggravated Zombies, high risk diplomatic negotiations, running for your life, and infrequent intense firefights. o The Desire to Live – A player spends so much time an energy achieving an elevated status of capability that loosing it all and starting over at the beach with a bandage, pain relief medicine, flashlight, and small backpack is out of the question. There is a cycle of Hero-to-Zero and then back to hero. o Scavenge for Loot – Search for a weapon and something to eat and drink. You will need ammunition for the weapon and a larger backpack to carry what you find. You will need medical supplies to keep yourself healthy. Hunt animals to acquire needed food and throw objects to distract zombies. o Land Navigate – Get oriented and head off to your next location. You will use a map and compass when you are able to find them. Read the contour lines and identify landmarks. Can you survive with nothing to eat or drink; not even a weapon? Image - Can you and your group of friends reach a higher levels of teamwork?

Here is a =SWF= car race on the the PCGN server that ended in a contact with GvW. And, we could set up a boat race course and organize PBX RIB boat races: The Panthera map has a car racing track.

The Halloween Event scheduled for today, Saturday, 3 NOV 2012 has been delayed to a date yet to be determined. The cause for the delay can be attributed to recent DayZ patch (version 1.7.3). There were significant server side adjustments that had to be made for the update and the database format for the Halloween Event would not transfer over to the new version without additional work. Thank you for your interest in this event and we will drop by to provide an update when the new date for the event is established.

I really thought there would be greater interest in this type of event seeing how DayZ is a zombie-type game.

Perhaps?!

The only way to survive an attack (hacker spawning behind you with the M4 CCO SD or dropping you from the sky) by a hacker was to leave the server as quickly as possible (Esc + Abort or Alt + F4). Join a different server and administer first aid. Now with the NEW combat system, the first shot fired by the hacker ensures he kills your character and you loose all your hard-earned equipment. Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my experience with DayZ on public servers in sequence from a to d: a) Badly wounded another player or he sees there is a high chance of death, he Alt + F4s b ) Hacker drops me from the sky with every other player on the server c) Single Hacker in God mode spawns in behind you and shoots you d) Two to three Hackers in God mode spawn around you and shoots you Now, I stick to Private servers to avoid being Hack-attacked.

What a HUGE victory for HACKERS!!!! Initially, the Alt-F4 players were a problem. Then there was a shift in DayZ and the BIGGEST game breaker was the hordes of HACKERS. Many players have left DayZ due the unacceptable instances of hacking. Too little too late. The combat system was needed in JUNE 2012. Now it will do more harm than good to the DayZ Community. Where is the long list of anti-hacker fixes? Due to this new combat system, there is absolutely nothing a legit player can do. He simply MUST die at the first hint of a hacker and give-up ALL his hard-earned kit. The hackers get the last laugh, unfortunately.

You guys are missing out. The PCGN folks have done a great job of fighting off the hackers.

Intense fire fights. A battle to the death. Some survive, while many respawn to start anew.

Side Channel text started the negotiations and then I was running through the woods to conduct the link-up. The trade was a shinny new pair of Night Vision Goggles with fresh batteries for a powder blue Ural packed to the gills with goodies. The initial link-up had to be shifted due to other survivors being in the area. The exchange occurred and the participants went their separate ways; both happy with their recent trade. Sin is a trusted agent. His store doors are open for business.

We have chosen option #3. My clan and I support the PCGN whitelisted server.

The conflict lasted what seemed like forever. Foes were locked in a mortal struggle. The alarm was sounded and friendly forces stopped what they were doing to come to aid of their comrades. Wow! What a a battle!!! Folks were fighting, dying, grabing what they could on the way, and re-engaging in the fight that was fought in the confines of a castle tower...

yes

Congratulations on the success of DayZ. It has been a lot of hard work to get to this point. Your DayZ mod and the ArmA series are truly unique in the video gaming industry.

And, he and the other suits will laugh at the "PC master race" all the way to the bank. Ask the Electronic Arts executives. They are still laughing about the deception operations they pulled off on the "PC master race." =multiplatform=shift in resources to the consoles=agreements with console companies=dumbed down= -> PC platform looses
