Also make sure you are not picking a server from six launcher. Just open six launcher up and click launch to get in the game. Then go to multiplayer and go to the filter and put DayZ in the mission and pick a server from there

THIS ^!! Six Launcher is a great tool and I highly suggest using that for this mod! Makes the whole process much easier! For communication I use skype alot with my group cause I find it easiest but if you are playing with larger numbers then Team Speak or Mumble are better.

I could see that working only after they fixed all the serious bugs. I wouldn't like it cause I don't want dayz to become another pay to play game but I can see that idea working much better then the previous idiotic idea of perma ban on 1 death.

I wont lie, I have had my dark moments. I have a group I play with alot and I have had times while traveling to meet up with them I have bumped into other friendly survivors. These survivors were well armed and I would say friendly back. Knowing I was going to meet up with my group already as soon as that random survivor let his guard down I put a bullet in his head. I wish there was some kind of incentive to try to let people live cause I did feel bad but upgrading from a makarov and hatchet to a M1911 and AKM made it feel so right! I do try to help out fellow survivors when possible and for the most part I have not been killed by people I have armed. If I have a hand gun and a rifle I often drop the rifle for them if they have nothing and so far I have not been gunned down for that.

Sounds good. At work now but I get off in an hour. It's currently 5PM here. You are an hour ahead maybe?

Thats cool. I usually only get a couple hours a night anyway cause of work and the wife. :P

I get pretty good ping times on most US servers. Add me on skype anyway and maybe I can connect to a server that works for you

I'm 23 and I am in the same time zone as you. add me on skype. Will be on at about 6:30 tonight. We can team up and I can help you out. Both of you add me if you want. The more the safer. :) Skype Name: Takingtn In game name: Paraguin

Caviano, I attempted to PM you but got error saying you cannot recieve any new messages. Heres the body of the PM I tried to send you I am 23 and do not have mumble but can easily get it. I have a small group I sometimes play with now but its hard for us all to be on at the same time cause we all work different hours so I find myself solo quite a bit. Would love a group of people I could play with more often

Add me on skype. Takingtn. I'm 23 but as long as you arent a high pitched screaming 13 year old I have no issues surviving together :)

Add me on Steam or Skype. Takingtn. I play US servers and usually with a small group of my friends from work

I am new. I joined shortly after the no weapon at spawn patch. While at first I hated not having a gun cause of how hard it was to find a gun, after about a week or 2 I prefer it this was. I now know where to look for weapons and have even made a few friends by helping out newly spawned characters by giving them 1 of my guns and ammo when I have 1 to spare. So far no one I have helped out has turned around and shot me. Would be nice if there was a way to make it so your first 10 lives you spawned with a makarov and after that you didnt anymore. Just to help out newbies that don't know anything about the game.

Also hit up the hospital in Elektro or the medical tents in Cherno. You need morphine and blood packs.

I always like to head into the general store of elektro early off. You can often find cantines and better hand guns like a revolver or a M1911 which will both 1 shot kill a zombie. Keep in mind that Elektro is fairly likely to have other players running around so be careful.

I don't know if I have been getting super lucky lately or if the spawn rate changed but it seems like equipment has been extra easy to find since the updates yesterday? Single elektro runs have been turning up multiple binoculors, maps, cantines, tents, M1911s AKMs ect. I found 4 tents last night just between elektros general store, pub and office then went in the fire house and found a coyote backpack O.o
