I think whilst the idea of carrier pigeons in this case may be somewhat ridiculous, the man has a point. However ridiculous it sounds, there definitely is grounds for a better comms system other than side chat. I'm sure that it has been dealt with in the SA though (I'm sure I read something about CB radios, walkie-talkie's or something along those lines).

Does anyone have a fix for just the DayZ mod, not epoch?

bump

Hate when this happens. You find a server that is perfect for you, you find amazing gear, there aren't barracks in every goddamn town...then the server just becomes a ghost town [insert "BEST DAYZ SERVER - Awesome loadout" server rant here]

What country do you play in? Also by survive do you mean you play hardcore in terms of no markers, 1st person etc?

What zone are you in?

A pretty decent server. Not 100% vanilla but when you factor in the high traffic, its a pretty worthy compromise. There are AI on skalisty and at the NWAF, there is a bridge to skalisty, and there is full moon. TBH, I have never found the AI so it hasn't been an issue and I don't frequent skalisty so again, no problem. The biggest draw card this server has is it's active and friendly admins. Was playing today and we got hacked, within the minute the admin had contacted us, gave us the TS details and they were perma-banned within 5min. Was very impressive Edit: hurrdurr too tired for this shenanigans....here is the link I meant to include http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/103.23.148.205:2302/

This could not be more true

A brilliant idea imo regarding the sound trap and tracking players by there trash. However, if every player on a server leaves bullet casings everywhere imagine the load on the server :|

As far as the poor sod on the roof was concerned, his game was over anyway so feel no guilt there. As for the wookie; wearing a ghillie and carrying a DMR pretty much says to anyone looking at the aforementioned wookie, 'my favourite hobby is wearing my victims' faces' so his fate was sealed and I'm sure he acknowledged that when he went down. Take my beans good sir.

Yeah lost me when you give everyone everything they could possibly need..... why no toilet paper though? if you intend on spoon feeding skiddies why not wipe our butts too?

Shot a sheep for foods :) was it my fresh spawn swagger that intimidated you? ;)

Yep that would have been my freshly spawned face you blew off :P

Just had a crack, insta-sniped by coast campers. Nope

Have you modified the map or any parameters or is it pure vanilla?

If it is I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Probably one thing I am looking forward to most. Imagine coming back to your tent to find a note saying: 'Needed food, only took what I needed. Left what I could in exchange'....or alternatively 'I ate all your food and took your guns....I wasn't even hungry. I'm not sorry. Have some toilet paper'

mmm somewhat agree to a degree. It is almost always a waste of time walking, if you have a vehicle though it can be worth the drive if you combine Devils and Vybor. Buuuuut, I sometimes enjoy spending over 30min sneaking around the airfield, its one of the only places that still gets the heart racing when you see a full server

This is exactly my thinking. The point of the sprint and grab is to be quick enough that if anyone is watching you that they either won't get a shot as you're ducking between cover fast enough or you will be gone before they get the chance to get an angle on you. I always gear up in elektro/cherno and I have never been killed in the process. Stay alert, use 3rd person wisely and avoid other players in the area

Well it depends where you spawn sometimes, however a good general rule is to head to elektro/cherno and do whats known as a sprint and grab (http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Survival_Tactics#Sprint_and_Grab). Elektro is a favourite of mine as the route to hit the two firestations, supermarket, hospital and office building will often gear you enough to head north and its fast. Hit the north firestation first, then the supermarket, office, hospital, then the second firestation. After that RUN. Even if you find nothing, run. It's not worth looting all the other spawns for the risk of dying. Remember, the longer you stay, the bigger target you are. Ideally I like to find a weapon (however, you won't NEED one) and the tools needed to hunt then I leave. So a gun, hatchet, matches, knife and water bottle. Once I have that I leg it north, stopping along the way to pick up the rest of a standard kit. Once you hit stary, get yo'self a gun....son Remember, all of this is just my opinion etc so take it with a grain of salt and you'll go far

Many lol's were had, take my beans good sir

I don't know man, most hackers I have come across aren't exactly the brightest guys; hence why they hack in the first place

So much no!! The whole concept of the game is immersion and realism (zombies are totally real man)
