  1. Dude, there's 1 rule in Chernarus hotzones, never ever afk near the buildings or open fields. Many people lost their lives this way. It's another lesson to learn. And, yea. Sorry to hear that, Problem?. We can still loot heli crash sites again. :)
  2. I don't think going to Cherno is a wise decision. You should have run a bit inland and loot Deer Stands and the west cities. It will give you better chance to survive. Anyway, with that low on blood, I think you must be going unconscious quite often. Try to go out from Cherno to the forest north. We can fix you there. If you fail, just respawn and go directly north. Avoid Stary Sobor without support. There are bandits all around that city. Also, about the GMT +1 SG server. Now all servers are synchronized to fit their real region's timezone. I dunno if it's caused by the Hive synch or not, though. We usually use Steam voice chat but we have a private Mumble server which will be opened to the members who have passed our tests. :) @Chad No problem, dude. Anytime. :D We're brothers in arms. :P Lessons learned from today's adventure: 1. Never ever underestimate very low populated server in night time. There are always bandits around. 2. Don't forget to turn off flashlights. 3. Always properly identify friend from foe before shooting the whole mag to someone's face.

    Updating Beta Patch Fix

    You know what? I know that my guide works for many people already. You might have not done things right and not properly using search function. Tell me what error did you get? What have you done so far since the last time you can play?
  4. Add Chad to your Steam's friend list. :) Also, as possible solution for that no server bug, go to the link in my sig.

    Updating Beta Patch Fix

    .: Guide has been updated as per 28-7-2012 :. NOTE: I don't know who has the solution for the "No Server" solution. I can't find it with the search button to add his name to the "Thanks to" list.

    i want back the respawn button!!!!

    There's already many idea debating about this "Choose your spawn location." option. The point is, this function will be abused by many players. You might not abusing it, but what about other people? Can you guarantee they won't do that and ruin all freshly-spawned players' fun? Just a thought. I don't want to debate about it, just think what's best for the community as a whole. Give your idea, "maybe" Rocket will give it a thought.

    Suggestions to fix the deathmatch *and* make the game better!

    1. It's already fixed in 1.7.2.4. Zombies will run to you when shoot even your tiniest gun. 2. They're already faster than any survivor alive (except hackers who can teleport). Boosting the zeds' damage to at least 1k per hit while they're faster then you and you only has 12k blood? LoL Ok, good luck with that then. Even 1 zombie can kill you with few hits when you're unconscious (including bleeding). 3. Current zombies amount with current damage and speed is fine imo. Actually, multiply their number and reducing their speed is much interesting tbh. 4. I agree with this "Hands up or I'll shoot!" addition. It gives more realistic feeling in the game. 5. A good idea. However, the military buildings should still have the same spawn chance as it is now cause it's already rare atm. Just a thought.

    It's a realism zombie survival sandbox game. See if you understand the meaning of realism. But, yeah. People has their own opinion so I won't bother debating over it.

    CryEngine 3 - Possible?

    Any highend realism-based engine is good.

    i want back the respawn button!!!!

    Yea, so you can respawn near Cherno, grab guns and kill noobs that just respawn. A terrible idea... You're supposed to be a stranded survivor, not a soldier dropped from a helicopter wherever you want.
  11. Jean Jacques Serrault

    i want back the respawn button!!!!

    There's a valid reason why Rocket and his team took it away. It's to prevent people to spam the respawn button to get to better location and thus making the server very busy and lag very bad. The respawn button will appear when you have a fracture. If you want to get to better location, go to zombies and just kill yourself.

    Trojan from six launcher

    Scanned legit SIX Launcher and Updater with Microsoft Security Essential ( Microsoft's Official Anti-Virus ) and it's ok.

    Making forests scary at night.

    I agree with this idea, however, don't make zombies spawn around players. Just make a set amount of zombies spawned randomly in a map then wandering to random direction around the map. The killed zombies out of normal spawn locations (empty forest and open fields) will respawn after 6 or so hours at random location throughout the map.
  14. LoL Chad is so sensitive about his lovely bike. :P And, yea. How's it feel holding a high-powered sniper rifle on your back, huh? :D
  15. SG #00 has been updated to 1.7.2.4. Now tents will save the items inside properly, respawn button is disabled until you got a fracture, all suits are spawning again ( Ghillie suit!!! :D ), etc. Find the complete list at http://dayzmod.com/f...rolling-update/ and http://stats.six-upd...aa-001517bd964c. Run your SIX Launcher and let it update your mod then update your beta patch manually. Awesome job, Rocket and Devs! o.O Like the song, Iz. Added to my favourite song. It's rare to hear good singer during the apocalypse. :D Anyway, I'm still holding your DMR with all its mags. Tell me if you want to pick it up. Give me at least a main gun, though. Dropped my CZ. :) Any main with some mags will do.
  16. I always need food. :P I also need a blood transfusion atm. Very low on blood. Kept getting unconscious. Anyway, our ATV was long gone. A thief suddenly appeared of nowhere and ride it out in front of my very eyes. I tried to catch up but it was too fast. :( Sorry. @Chad LoL Gratz for the new bike! Ride it regularly for your health. :P
  17. Erm, Chad's team. :) I'm just a learning overwatch dude and he's the leader of today's group. But, yea sure. I'll be contacting you before we go out, Sam. :D @Brix I don't think it can see through walls like Infra Red can do but - haven't found one so I dunno exactly. @Chad and Izz3 Have you guys taken back every single thing in your decaying body? I took some medical things to give back to both of you since I don't have enough space to get both of your guns.
  18. Ok, off to crash sites we'll go then. :D Then we'll hunt at night like predators. :P Anyway, we decided to go to Stary Sobor to go for a loot run today. All went smooth when suddenly a bandit ( His IGN is Jason, so you hear him saying friendly, kill him. He's a bandit. ) shot me and I quickly dropped to 3k HP. Chad's trigger happy habit saved me again. I quickly run to the farthest building, bandaged myself, and tried to give cover fire to help Chad. I dunno if I hit him, but he died and soon after Chad died, too. He sacrificed himself for his team mate ( what a hero :D Thanks a lot, Chad! ). I quickly run out and Izz3 gave me a cover fire. Finally we got out but Izz3 slipped and dropped dead from the height. :( ( Should be more careful, dude. :P ) And yeah... By a strange power, I'm the only one in the middle of hotzone who got away alive... again. All hail to the trigger happy reflex dude and the awesome cover fire dude. :D Looking forward to go for more bandit hunting tomorrow to increase our experience. :)

    Updating Beta Patch Fix

    Ghillie suits won't prevent you from logging in. I've seen some people sniping using the suits. Anyway, don't update the beta patch with SIX Launcher. It's suggested to update each beta patch manually. If you can't get into any server since 1.7.2.3 Day Z patch, perhaps there's something's wrong with the files at @DayZ folder. You can delete it and reinstall it via the official torrent download from http://dayzmod.com/?Download. The latest Steam ARMA 2 update gave some people trouble and they tried the guide at http://dayzmod.com/f...r-being-kicked/. It fixed some errors from the Steam's update.
  20. Just did a solo loot run when Pain decided to come along NWAF for a while. He needed to go soon after and I was back to solo looting. Managed to loot a remington flashlight with 3 full slugs. I think I'm in a trouble atm. Need food soon. I'll trade the remington with all its slugs for 3 or 4 foods, steak or canned food will do. :beans: Dying cause of starvation ain't funny. :P
  21. All but me and Dayzgamersg. We should have been more careful. Pain and Chad dc'd and we're confused due to the darkness. We should have run to forest once we know that Chad was killed. Also, Bear. I didn't hear you saying there are people up the roof yesterday. Maybe I missed that. Sry, my bad.
  22. Ok, I'm gonna get back in the game and see if I can get our team's killers yesterday.
  23. I agree. I always go prone or hide in the bushes when not moving. Another lesson to learn. I think we can learn from Bear. From his movement, I know that he's the most experienced one from all of us. Hope you can teach us more, Bear. :)
  24. Also, number 5, should have checked tower from a far. It's not quite good cause it's pitch black, though. Anyway, good loot run tonight, guys. This is a harsh lesson for us. Don't be dishearted, we'll get back there someday with much more experience and kill those bandits. Looking forward to go with you again. :)
  25. Lessons learned: 1. Never walk around hotzones with light source around. 2. We should have waited silently at the first floor of firestation when chad got killed waiting for the killer to go down while watching every doors and stairs.. 3. Never go to NWAF in the night without NVGs. NVGs bandits are everywhere. 4. If possible, don't logout even if it's your bed time, accidentally abandoning your friends behind. Dammit! My wrong move tonight. :(
