the night started as usual, spawn in camp, gear up, but something about today was quite peculiar.... the vehicles were missing... i check in with the rest of the guys and it appears our camp was raided while we were away... :/ well, i dont care much for anything in this game, so i shrugged it off and decided to head south with a clan mate to pick someone up. since we dont have vehicles... it seemed we were going to walk. everything was normal, casually strolling through towns,deading zombies and looking for some quick loot... Things changed the second i walked on the bridge south out of vybor... i see someone run across the road, i crouch down and get ready "Probably some scrubs fooling around up north" as my friend finished his sentence, what appeared to be M240 fire, opened up on us... my heart jumped and i made a run for the safety of... under the bridge. There was no thought put into that initial thought... I then found myself...stuck under a bridge... realizing i brought 2 grenades with me from the camp, i threw them towards his last known location...hopefully scaring him, which would hopefully lead him to running away.,... was i ever wrong one of them came down to check if we were still there.... he killed me, but my friend killed him shortly afterwards, the rest of the fight was narrated through teampseak.. They were a group, were guessing of atleast 4... we deaded 2 of them... then my friend ran off.. what really surprised me was that they didn't combat log... i always find myself in a firefight, and when it gets hairy, they log... but not these guys, not when the first shots were fired, not when explosives were used... not when some people were deaded... it was fun my hat is off to you, Clan [A-A] on US 386

:3 but deaded.... has just stuck i guess.... i didnt normally say it until i joined my new clan xD

you will notice on the ingame map that there are 2 gray lines that clearly depict the borders :)

hey, my clan just got a helicopter and we were wondering if it was possible to parachute out :/

oh shit really? ...fuck

1+ personally owning a rifle.. i know how much time goes into making sure it works fine.. if its not properly maintained, the sights will be off, missfires, the gun jams... things that would really piss you off when you need it most... it would add an extra level of caring for the gear you have, and would add to the already immense gameplay what really made me start playing this game was how realistic it was... and adding to that would just make it better :3

this made me laugh, and i've had this thought alot too not to implement and extremely complicated system, but to add subtle advantages and disadvantages to the type of character you would wish to create

i can see this been abused by those who already have vehicles... if they know the spawns, it could become a daily routine for some clans, "take the big truck out, load it with jerry cans and go check the spawns" I would love to see this implemented, dont get me wrong... my clan and i have camped un repaired vehicles waiting for the others to find pieces... but if we were able to just tow it away... once we have one vehicles, acquire smaller ones would be way too easy

we do not need to add another mechanic that takes away from cooperative play, living as a solo bandit, you are faced with the dilemma of if you get shot or hurt... you cannot give yourself a transfusion... you are simply going to have to keep eating cooked meat for that 800 blood bonus until you are healed... if anything, we need to add more mechanics to the game (after bugs have been addressed to) that encourage cooperation

zombies at this moment, can go through the fencing... they can go through walls, they can materialize anywhere... it can be taken down if you have a toolkit... but its really buggy, this is another issue rocket and the dev team will have to deal with when they have the time to, at this moment there are more pressing matters and bugs to attend to

we all have to make the conscious effort of realizing this is an alpha game, running off of an already buggy engine. ARMA is a great engine to run this mod out of, but the game itself has issues... the reason you do not see games often in an playable alpha state is obvious... it buggy, it crashes, it has problems you are TESTING this game, and you will have to wait a long time before it is a stable and polished game. Rocket and his dev team are trying to please everyone at once "WE WANT NEW STUFF!" the second they add new stuff "WE WANT BUGS FIXED" you also have to realize, we did not pay for this mod... you are testing it, if you cannot deal with the bugs and problems this game has at this moment, then drop this game and come back later when its fixed

everyone starting with a tent would be horid they are not that hard to find.... this game is not meant to be easy xD

well they failed to rob you xD

i say rocky mountains :3 would be amazing... just saying

depends how i die, if it was well set up, then i'll applaud the bandit... the only time i rage is if im killed as a fresh spawn in elecktro or cherno :/

great story, and that was awesome of them to stay in, ive had some pretty good kills log on me

i would team with you just for the accent :3

when i started to play this game.... bandits were annoying as fuck, i hated them... and i swore never to be one, well my little bandit adventures turned into true banditry last night. my friend and i decided to dick around elcktro, seeing as we had fresh spawns. little did we know, we would end the night with amazing gear that would have taken us DAYZ to get if we actually attempted to loot this all legitimately. My first 4 kills of the night were exciting. i make my way, in the dark of night, into the outskirts of elecktro... i find an enfield in a small house in elecktro, i proceed to the firestation (and find a DMR mag, decide to take it... just because), the church, then make my way to the pub, when i notice one survivor inside... being the devious asshole i am, i called out "friendly?" to girl answered back with "ya im friendly, but dont come in, theres guys upstairs that are the shoot on sight kind of players." Theres a change in mentality when playing this game... fresh spawn with no weapons, completely useless, you look for help, a team, you're friendly the second you have a weapon that is somewhat useful in pvp, then you kill for supplies. so these guys obviously had something worthwhile... it being night and such, i throw flares... up the stairs and into their faces, i then run in, the guy at the top of the stairs is blinded, I take him out with one shot of the enfiled....to the face. The girl that claimed she wasnt with them, opens fire on me with a M1911.... she unloads a whole clips at me, point blank.... and misses everysingle shot, i turn around, line my sights up, headshot... I run out of the pub, i hear one more upstaris, trying to shoot me.. He knows im going to come in the front, so why not try the back!? he omes down the stairs not even 5 seconds after i killed the girl to loot her.... thinking i ran off, i come around the back and pop 2 shots in him... i then proceed to loot i get myself an alice pack, food, medical supplies and a M24... pretty basic stuff, but still worth while. But my night has just begun, my friend ran his way from cherno to elecktro, to join me in my escapades of banditry... sitting outside of town, scoping it out, we notice a guy with what seems to be an ak... i keep him in my sights, let him loot a couple building (so i dont have to do it myself, im a bandit after all) then pop his head a good 400m away. I send my friend in to loot him and he find a M14 in his bag alongside a kobra... this night keeps getting better and better. since it was getting pretty dark, we decided to switch servers, unfortunately.... it was still dark on the other server.... but this time, it wasnt complete noobs in elecktro... these guys were end game. they had everything on them, rangefinder, nvg, coyote backpacks (better than ALICE for those that dont know) and amazing guns. We didnt know this at first, just looked like a noob running in the middle of elecktro, my friend gets a good 2 shots with the m14 in him, i run up and finish him with a my newly acquired m1911 (which had been put to way better use than the previous owner) my first surprise was the bag, and the m4A1 CCo SD laying in his hands.... he must have had a spotter... as that thought went through my head, and we were hunched over his bodies in glee grabbing all sorts of goodies, my friend is shot.... but not on the first hit, cause this sniper was garbage the second i hear shots, i run.... not knowing where he was, i was screwed, i find inbetween some houses... he gets me... but only knock me unconscious, i manage to get up, run away an bandage just in the nick of time.... 100 blood left o_o everything was darker... and harder to see, i move around the houses and make my way to the bodies... to find one of his friends looting it, i pop him with the m1911... now we have two bodies, each with nvgs', coyote's, the whole fucking kit... I thought there were only two of them... so i jumped in and started to loot... there was a third, i got shot and was out... upon the whole greeting sceen of "YOU ARE DEAD" i noticed there were three people online... with clan tags infront of their names... it must be them. The rest of the night is spent trying to find the sniper, while killing the new spawns trying desperately to loot their bodies back.. But we get the upper hand, i run into some total noobs, and decide to play a little social experiement. "hey guys, theres amazing loot outside on those bodies outside of the supermarket... all you have to do is go down this street (wrong directions) to avoid the sniper spotting you, but i dont suggest going, the sniper is really good, and i dont know where he is" now i had an extra distraction.... i end up looting some guns and a pair of nvgs then my friend Tav logs into the TS... we ask him promptly if he's close to elecktro... to our content, he is! we now have a sniper on our side.. couple hours later, sniper is gone, their gone and disconnect... but... the bodies are gone... the stupid bug where bodies disapear but the flies are still there.... but that didnt matter... we now have a coyote backpack, a pair of nvgs, the shitty snipper's DMR and a gps... not too shabby for fresh spawns?

i killed 3 guys in elecktro last night, kitted to the max! they had gps, nvg, coyote backpacks, everything i get killed by a sniper, spend my next couple hours chasing them away from their bodies, and getting my friends to get rid of the sniper, as soon as it all over, bodies are gone and only flies are at their bodies but then again, you cant take this game to heart that much, it's a game, and its also in alpha... so calm down, enjoy what you can atm and just wait for the patch that will fix this (which wont be very soon)

YAY social experiments

I logged in, my character had been alive for about a week now and god knows how much play time, my clan just broke up, so i was short a camp. and some guns I was left with only my DMR, ghillie, motorcycle and enough drinks to last me a couple days All was good, driving around berenzino for some supplies, then i was shot dead But that isnt the real story here, its what happens afterwards Feeling kind of pissed off, i hopped servers, and started new Winchesters were always the gun i would keep an eye out when i was a fresh spawn. a little to my luck, i found one, along side a m1911 i was kitted out, and decided a quick run in elecktro would be sufficient to make my trek up north Upon my arrival in Electro, i hear a bunch of people on direct com, so i investigate. Prior to this, i always played an innocent survivor, teaming up and working together, this life was spent as a bandit. There were two guys outside the church, trying to fix a bus, i knew what i had to do, landed two shots into them with my winchester. Since they were all using direct com, i could listen in to what they were planning, they though i was in the firehouse, shooting them with a winchester... I decided to play on that info, i moved my way around te back of the church, disposing of another 2 survivors, trying to loot their friends. They close the doors to the church I looted some bodies real quick and find a akm with 2 mags, sufficient to deal with those still alive in the church. I hide the akm in my bag, i throw the winchester down, and i ask for help "HELP ME! im being shot at by some asshole in the firehouse!" "We're in the church, it's safe inside." I run in, only my pistol in hand, i thank them, reassure them im a noob, and share what little food and medical supplies i have. then i wait, and it was worth it. they all made their way to the door, slowly crouch walking into the doorway, i make a quick move for my bag, take out my akm, load it and fire on those with guns, to deal with the real threats they think the shots are coming from outside, those that did make it outside ran in, easier for me to deal with them. after all was dealt with (the survivors and little zombies i attracted) i looted. M14 CCO, mp4SD... and array of food and water. I was overjoyed, i went outside (knowing there never was a real bandit in the firehouse, so it was relatively safe) i repaired the bus, loaded some more gear, and drove off so far, being a bandit is great, i do not feel any guilt for those survivors, they made the wrong choices :3

omg.... that was too good rounding up noobs to do supply runs is genius :3

ya i saw spare parts in the back but on some of the bodies i found a toolbox :D

i would wear option 1 & 2 :'D alpha testing ftw

lol i love hows there's an RP reason for tents disappearing :3
