I have no desire to disrupt your trade, my days of competitive Arma are over, more of just theory of how the heist could take place. I'd rather provide security than participate in the heist, however each side would be truly thrilling. Yes some of those were the weapons I was referring to. I know at some point someone will attempt a heist (as do you), really looking forward to the video of it, hopefully you have several guys recording so we can see it go down. Will be pretty shweet. Thanks for the reply, do you have youtube channel set up already? This idea of yours really sets up for some interesting unique situations, looking forward to those videos.

It's a powerful medium to long range weapon. If you have ammo for it, use it, or stuff it in your pack, if not, stuff it in your tent, and pray for ammo. If a guy with a M4 catches you running in medium range with your sniper rifle your as good as dead. I normally keep the long range in the pack, and pull it out when needed. Medium range weapon is where you want to be, judging by the threats faced in DayZ. In less of course you camp, and pure sniping fits your game play. I'm constantly mixing it up, in close with zombies and other players, so any sort of sniper rifle is completely out of the question.

Sounds like a good way to get into some player killing. Set up the trade with a clean character, perform the trade, do that several times and build trust, and learn how your lil heroin trade security is run. Then simply coop in with the guild and murder you all :) A seasoned Arma 2 player vs. player guild would make quick work of your operation but heck, that's what DayZ is all about. As for actual needs, the only thing any veteran player could want is NVGs or a vehicle, maybe some camo clothes or Ghillie suit. In that case, I would be willing to trade a decent weapon, 3-5 mags, 3 cans of food, 2 cooked meat, 2 blood packs, 3 bandages, 1 morphine, 1 epi-pen, and depending on the vehicle or NVGs, maybe a grenade or two. It would be a about 50% of the above for a Ghillie, and about 25% of the above for camo clothes. I think that sounds fair, and depending on the size of your operation, it would probably take you less time to find and fix a car or other goods than it would for most to collect the items needed for a fair trade, which would be worthwhile for both sides. Good Idea though, you should keep us informed if anyone tries to make a hit on your new business. Like describe how they tried and such, it would be fun to hear of their slaughter, or perhaps your slaughter?

I was on Germany 11 Server with my buddy. We were on the NW airfield (go figure) in the last hanger on the NE side of the air strip. As we scavenged the Hanger, we noticed a player named "Collusion" sprinting across the air field at us... he mysteriously didn't pull a single Zed in his full sprint crossing. He ran right up to us within a few feet, so we called out friendly multiple times (maybe he is German? right?) Anyhow, we didn't fire a shot, and he suddenly fired at my partner wounding him, so we both unloaded on him. -- We speculate he might have thought he could take his Ghillie suit as his reasoning, as he was well equipped -- so it wouldn't make sence he wanted anything else from us, as we were not very well equipped at the time (fresh off the inventory wipe). Here is some of what he had: -M4 CCO SD -6 SD 5.56 mags -M9 SD -5 SD M9 mags -Multiple Blood Packs -Coyote Pack -Multiple maps, hunting knives, entrenching tools, tents (yes 2). You gotta know that kit he had is sounding suspicious already, if not, here is the real evidence: We didn't even get to fully loot his corpse when my buddy yelled out -- "you hear that", "someone is coming" (sprinting yet again w/ 0 zeds in tow) and guess who shows up peaking and firing into the hanger.. with the same exact load out, within 1 min of his death...Collusion -- the guy we just killed literally 1 minute ago. It was an obvious hack at that point. Anyhow, we killed him again, 2 shots to the FACE! Patched up and left the server. Collusion, if your reading this, thanks for hooking us up, we needed all that crap you were carrying -- freaking wanker -- not only that, but we smoked your ass twice -- I hate cheaters.

Awww.... poor Mikkall raging in the forums because someone called him a carebear HAHAHA how sweet...

LoL Good stuff.

Chernarus never seemed small until this mod came out...

addWeaponCargoGlobal Description: Add weapons to the cargo space of vehicles, which can be taken out by infantry units. MP Synchronized Players are not vehicles, and do not have "cargo". You would just have: unitName addWeapon weaponName if you were adding weapons to your character. It sounds to me, the script that fills cargo space in vehicles is misbehaving somewhat.

Hmmph... I can't disagree with that.

You must not play on full servers... NW Airfield Solo in a 50/50 game is suicide...

It depends if I have NVGs or not.

Yes, please do... so I can steal it!

Very long respawn time... I was told it's 7 days. This could be incorrect or changed. Not to mention those who own the server have horded away all the goodies. LOL

2 mixed with 9 :)

I was in a barracks, it had barbed wire in front of it, as well as inside, it also had tank spikes in the hall way... You know how small the passage way in the barracks is right? Suffice to say I have had no issues with the player placed obstacles... QQ some more, maybe it will make them go away! :)

Arma II engine does not handle fall damage very well, if you have played the base game you should know a short fall is capable of killing/disabling you. Ladders are sometimes not lined up correctly with rooftops which can cause you to fall, however those are usually the ladders placed in the editor, and not those attached to geometry of buildings. As for stairs, if you sprint down them, or a steep hill, you can suffer fall damage. Take your time, smooth is fast. I am reluctant to believe there will be any sort of significant fix to this, as it's the engine itself, and how it handles physics, or should I say the lack there of.

Captain, use some imagination, in life you would make a cart, or some trash to haul those heavy items... not exactly an easy thing to implement, at least in a decent fashion. However you wanting to pull some Super Hero heal broken bones and regain blood (Health) is straight bulllll. LoL

Wow' date=' just... Wow... Should we recover blood over time aswell? Maybe have a server difficulty lower than regular for this kinda thing? Maybe you're playing the wrong game bro. [/quote'] LoL -- agreed. I have never had an issue with finding what I need in DayZ to survive... it's the players that will kill you... You need med supplies? GO TO A FREAKING HOSPITAL? Eh? Novel Idea...

LoL

JUST VAULT OVER IT>>>>>>> JEZUS I have yet to see a single player placed obstacle you cannot vault over. -Tank Spikes -Barbed Wire -Sand Bags -Park Benches ALL CAN BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE "V" KEY. LoL yeah really...

Get someone to help you... I've gotten out of some very sticky situations where at the time, I was sure I was going to die.. I'm talking bleeding, no bandages, hungry, thirsty, passing out every minute or two, on the NW airfield no less, and managed to survive. Of course luck is always important too...

Have you installed the latest drivers? Or drivers at all for that matter? If your running SLI on an I7 you should almost be able to max the game with smooth frame rates. You will see drops in your frames as you enter cities and such, but this is to be expected. You said 16MB ram.... I would have to assume you meant 16"GB". I am running two HD5850's @ 1920x1200 resolution with no Anti Aliasing no Post Processing, the rest maxed and 3D Resolution @ 100% with no problems besides for the slight frame drop in some cities.

When you log into a new server, in an area that normally would have loot, it will de-spawn the loot in the area -- it is not 100%, but most of the time your spawn area will not have loot. If you loot, run to the woods, log to a different server, run back to loot area, yes there will be loot there provided another player hasn't gotten all the goodies yet.
