fun read mate. I have two primaries, one M24 (?) in backpack. Haven't used it yet as I have heard backpacks will eat primary weapons. At least you found a crash site for another sniper rifle. Never been so geared! Good luck out there. Cheers

Found one north east of green mountain in the field just outside the deer stand at the edge of the woods. Found a DMR with three mags and NVG's. First and only time with either of those weapons. Was a good haul. Haven't seen one since and that was a few weeks ago. Cheers

Learn, adapt, kill players trying to kill you, survive. There are plenty of ways to do it but knowing how to shoot something needs to be second nature. I spent a week playing in Electro and NWAF and learned valuable lessons getting my head shot off and returning the favour. Cheers

will add you on skype. also eastern time. Cheers

I dig getting into roleplay aspects of the game. A sandbox like this is first and foremost for me, a tool for my imagination.

That is something new to me. never met a friendly troll hacker before. Usually meet friendlies getting trolled by hackers. Cheers

skype is imperiorcupiditas. I'm not a noob, but no expert by any means. I usually run solo but am always in for grouping up. Cheers

Nice idea, though I currently am not in need of anything. I shall keep this in mind for when I get domed next. Cheers and beans.

Day 22?! playing everyday? Dunno how some of you do it. I've made 7 days once playing everyday for about 4-6 hours in two sessions but my luck usually runs out sooner than that. I travel indirect routes to my objectives using forest and terrain elevation for cover too. 22 days of surviving while playing has me impressed.

Alt-f4 is lame. I've played survivor every character for like two months now. Today I played a bandit. Both roles got me geared up well enough to survive if I was careful. Either method can see you geared in under an hour depending on spawn. Why alt-f4 at all then? I admit I did it once the one time I had NVG's and felt like the wuss I was afterwards. Can't say I have missed the NVG's much and if I keep my wits about me, I can always drop someone who has em already. Would be nice if in the future alt-f4ing during combat wiped your inventory. Probably not doable but one can dream... Cheers

After reading this thread I am def gonna check the server out. You seem genuinely honest about getting killed (no DC or resets), check logs, and try to keep the place hacker free. Exemplary behaviour! Thanks for the server and the effort you put in running it. Cheers

This. This is why I love this game. Player driven everything. You have my beans Colten, and to the clan, good luck and give em hell! Cheers

Excellent story! I have yet to meet anyone looting Stary (been VERY lucky with that) but its encounters like this that get me on edge every time I venture there. Seems like you had the right amount quick thinking as well as lucky breaks. A good read mate. Cheers

I sat in Electro today on a fresh spawn waiting for bandits to come and get easy kills. I managed to kill 2 bandits and then a survivor. After seeing the gear I got in about five minutes (compared to my usual routine of deer stand hopping across the map) I am def going bandit. Gonna head to the NWAF and start learning through attrition. humanity is -220 from 2500 for the survivor kill. Cheers

Nuke and Jamie came to aid me but upon relogging found my blood about 5000 and my food situation not an emergency. Their willingness to come to Electro to help me out is appreciated particularly considering the traffic there. Cheers

Hello medical heroes of Chernarus! Bulldog here, or rather in Electro. I was a fresh spawn who managed to find an alice pack and akm in random searching in Electro. A few dead bodies alerted me to the presence of Bandits and I was shortly thereafter fired upon. I managed to use cover to get to the fire station near the church and get to the bottom of the stair case. Unfortunately I am in rather rough shape. I have 4000 blood, no blood bags, close to starving if not already so, and have no food. If at all possible, I could use a blood transfusion and a single can of beans to get me on my way. I'll find food after that or die in the attempt, but this survivor has had a rather interesting story so far and I am interested in seeing more :P my skype name is imperiorcupiditas, and my "real name" listed as TheBulldog. I have TS, Mumble and possibly Vent as well. Cheers to Chernarus' Medics.

North America, South America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asias, etc? I play NA as ping is too high to play most anywhere else. Depending on where you play I'd be game. Cheers Although upon rereading your own reply and the other, I have a suspicion this may be a trap... :P

Just sit tight and when the bandits come, kill them all and take their gear, then hide the bodies. Cheers

Nah tents makes sense. People would set up camps and as a stationary base, also run the risk of losing their hard earned gear. The player that treks north upon spawning runs the risk of A: finding nothing B: finding tents with fully geared overwatch waiting to happen. Those that get in and get out with great gear deserve it as much as the guy who raids deer stands for hours. Both made a choice as to what they thought was best for their survival. Loot spawn rates of tents, mil weapons is definitely something to look into, but taking tents away entirely I don't agree with. If a survivor set up a camp hidden enough that they can get back to it on respawn, and also find it unlooted, deserve the leg up for their forward thinking. I've tried looking for tent cities for easy gear. I have yet to find the eldorado of tent cities, but found plenty with medium level weapons and lots of medical supplies, and more than my fare share of ambushes. In short, the pros and cons are about on par with any other survival strategy IMO. Cheers

Fantastic idea. Will favourite this thread in case. Kudos on your turn away from the dark side :P Cheers

agreed, Jareth, Should have just refrained from commenting entirely. Having said that, OP I laud your intentions but the tent and car will probably have been found without need to advertise. Awesome luck you had though! I have had a similar experience only to forget to check the server name before logging off :P Keep your head down and your beans close. Cheers

added you on Steam. I have Skype and use the public 500 channel TS server posted here on the forums. Steam name is thebulldog87. Cheers.

Appreciated the effort all the same. Cheers

Hope you had a can of beans! Just in case you can have mine. Cheers

sucks about the hacks man, and the dying while typing, and the bad luck at the hospital as well. That survivor just couldn't catch a break :P Cheers
