This. All you need is a gun with two magazines and an ammo box full or half full. You don't need attachments and all of that fancy gear. Get geared with a weapon to protect yourself, then get as far north-east as you want and pick a certain grid to loot, move to the next grid and keep stocking up on food, water and a few medical supplies.

Link his thread in which he is giving you crap, when you find it.

Go on to your router gateway and adjust your firewall settings, make them less strict.

Good luck, but please don't resort to childish insults just because of a video game; you obviously got the better of him so leave it at that.

Compare the standalone to default Arma 2 Chernarus; I didn't notice until I had seen a comparison photo, but the map/towns are completely different; there's much more buildings, much more cover and much more trees. It's beautiful

It is very annoying when people log, especially since we always start our direct comms sentences with "We are friendly, we will not hurt you just please lower/drop/un-equip your weapon" etc, it can be a random statement but we ALWAYS start with the "We are friendly" part.

His mind says no, but his hand says yes... We could all hear that clicking sound as we were leaving the airfield too, it was like one last laugh for our ladder-friend.

I usually organize a get together with a few of my buddies and "clean" Balota of Bandits, or people who shoot on sight.

Not being able to log within a radius of players is a ridiculous idea who ever said it; what if you're in a group and you all like starting at the same place the next day? I think a 3-5 minute timer would be good if a bullet lands nearby you, or another recognition system that would work so combat loggers can't continue.

Post it on the bugtracker, I know two people who sometimes play in the same house under the same network; works fine for them.

A short video of each encounter (minus the 'mini' firefight) will be posted later once edited and rendered. So here's a quick little story of yesterdays events when I had decided with my buddies that we would go Bandit Hunting. It started when I spawned in Elektro and started heading west to rendezvous with my group; after only patrolling from NWAF to Green Mountain for the past few weeks, we all decided that we would go from Balota up to Berezino by moving along the coastal areas only. I first went to Pavlovo camp to get geared up with an M4 and some clothes (No masks) and moved down to Balota airfield once the entire group was geared up. In Balota Airfield we encountered our first person so we all opened Direct Comms VON and repeatedly said "Friendly" etc, the guy closed the door to a room and logged out (Thank you for that, idiot; I have no doubt that you were killed in the new server you joined for logging out in Bandit Territory when we were going to give you food, water etc). We continued on to Chernogorsk where we began looting and encountered another player who just ran away, I didn't blame him for running out of fear, or not wanting "to be killed again" (A reference to most bandit kills in that area). We had looted Chernogorsk for about 30-40 minutes, found a lot of food which was our main hope. From there we began heading through Prigorodki toward Elektrozavodsk; we encountered our third player who was equipped with a Mosin, he had seen us first however and took out two of our men thus hitting me. I ran to the side foliage and hid behind a tree to bandage, my group was all pressed together and pinned down; I stayed out of that pin-down, Instead I looked around and saw the shooter trying to flank us so I flanked him. This time I had him in sight before he saw me, as soon as he looked at me; he lowered his weapon and I shot 10 rounds in to him which then killed him. I informed my group that I had taken him out and our medic ran over to me, during that time I politely let the guy I had just killed in VON that we weren't going to hurt him, we were only interested in helping people out with food/water but he had killed two of us so it was a "Shoot on sight" initiative from there. We looted his, and our guys bodies and took their food; when our fourth encounter came along; a guy with a baseball bat and a shovel. We asked him to put the weapons down and he did; for that we gave him a canteen, I sacrificed my tin-opener and gave him a few tins of food, I then told him that there were three bodies further down the road with guns and ammo on them should he wish to take one to be protected (We were all geared with M4's and food, we did not have room for any more weapons nor did we need them). My medic gave him some anti-biotics and what not to help him as he was sick and had a slightly grey screen; we parted ways and continued to Elektrozavodsk. After attempting to loot, and realizing it was a dead end; we went to move but encountered our fifth player, again a person who was almost a fresh spawn. We spoke for a while and he decided to follow us on our journey to Berezino so we moved. It took us 20 minutes to rendezvous with two more members of the group at Solnichniy Factory and once we were all together we headed to Berezino; we looted a bit in Berezino and after I went away from my computer to grab a drink, everybody left so it was over there. We had two more encounters between Kamyshovo and Berezino; one was on the roadway up and the guy only said "Well, fuck..." in VON when he saw us coming towards him, he said nothing else after that despite us asking if he needed food, water or medical treatment. The second guy was one of those fresh spawn types with the logic of "If I pretend I can't hear them in Direct Comms then maybe they'll leave me alone" so we did, we left him alone; wasted no more time with that kind and that was the end of the "action". All-in-all, it was quite an enjoyable night; it was good to go "Bandit Hunting" to help out the new players, and it was all done without any 'KoS' attempts from my group or me. Anyway, a bit of a read but I hope you enjoyed reading it :)

Wrong forum/section.

Happens here too, every time I or anybody I know uses alcohol to clean wounds I get a yellow "Sick" icon; Eventually it says "My wounds are clean now" and the sickness disappears too.

If the folks at TMW ever need an escort; feel free to send me a PM and I'll get as many from my 30 man group online as bodyguards, would be a fun (recorded with DxTory of course) experience for all :)

You're welcome, just to explain what happened: The "Out Of Range" error you were getting was because of a resolution issue from the game not recognizing or registering; by manually setting a config file change and inputting a resolution the game is then able to pick up from that and detect what size it should be at.

Did I say anything about not being here?

Don't constantly bump every couple of minutes, it's annoying. Delete your config file and restart the game.

This video was painful to watch...

All of these posts and responses, and he still hasn't included his specifications to be compared with the official requirements.

Could you do me a favor Darkshader? I would appreciate if you could send me your DayZ CD Key so that I can give it to somebody who isn't a little b***h. Thanks :thumbsup:

I've noticed that it happens to a few of my players when we're rendezvousing near green mountain.

To be quite truthful with you Op, engaging a zombie most likely caused what happened as he thought you were shooting him. I wouldn't classify anybody in North West Airfield friendly either, nor would I try to help them; my group tried it yesterday and when they left the two guys go, the were pinned down by enemy fire. There's a limit to areas you should consider friendly, "Green Mountain" is hopper territory, NWAF is shoot on sight territory, Balota is Bandit territory etc; pretty much means you shoot on sight or get the advantage (flank a person and get behind him so if he tries to run or turn around, you shoot) in any military allotments that have firearms inside. I'm not saying to become bandit or somebody who Kills On Sight, just use initiative to stay alive longer and in the right areas you will find people who do need help, once you build a group big enough then you will also know what areas need a good tactical insertion and scout for a lot of bandit cleansing.

Finally some roleplay :) Looking forward to it.

Great video, give me a shout if you need escorting some time :P
