Wow, And at no point you though that maybe the zombies were respawning because you were shooting At no point did you think to use a melee weapon The fix is to be silent ....... Just WOW

Use a melee weapon I played on experimental weeks prior to this update and could Run Around pretty much any city just using an axe, they keep coming for you but it's a difference between 1-2 zombies every 30 seconds instead of 5-8 when using a gun (which causes agro when they spawn if you use a gun)

Really Because the last time I tried this with my own clan, of about 8 people We gave medical aid to 3 people and only 1 bandit that tried to kill us We are now trying on a bigger scale with more people and resources = more security and gear to help people Yeah there will be battles, but in the past its been about 50/50 bandit and friendly encounters

Nope we are going to join a server with about 15 people and our numbers will make it to about 30So those 15 people could be anyone from bandits to friendlies that know nothing about the event and the other 10 slots are for people from here No, the people I've chosen all have come from sources where their posts in the past have proven them friendlyFirstly people who come in our safe zone are allowed to remain long enough to get aid or trade, then they are sent on their way Out security team is made up of well trusted people who have been in these operations before and they know when it's acceptable to fire Besides we have a number or other protocols you don't know about so even infiltrators might get a surprise, I'm sure we will have one or two, but we have a plan for you too Fair enough, we will be prepared as will you I guess

Well actually zombies respawn now, and I've seen first hand both friendlies and bandits die from them on experimental servers Why do you think I was waiting for the update? There will be people who need help now thanks to zombies There's no reason to do this at all, except to get the friendlies groups working together and see who we can trust for future events We are stronger together and can aid each other with more trust in the future as well as help people along the way There won't be evidence at all, not even the youtube video myself and about 5 others won't be recording So yeah, I'm sure it will be forgotten about on a couple of days We are already overbooked now, we have more than expected helping out so any more would make the event pointless as we would be filling up half the server

Ok looks like we might be getting the update If we get the update as planned, the operation will run this Sunday and a time will be setup once I've conferred with the CQF and TMW tomorrow Time or event will be confirmed and a countdown will be online and setup showing your local area time at the latest of Saturday Server will be chosen based on how well the connection is and how many players are online at the time, once security have secured the area we will release the server to those part of the operation and release publicly once most of us have arrived Location will be given 1 hour before starting time to to those part of the operation so they have time to get there Safe zone is confirmed to NOT be in the south east area so could be anywhere else

Depends if the update is applied by the weekend This will be going ahead the weekend straight after the update goes to stable, whenever that might be

Well It would work for private servers as in the mod, there was a server I used to play on that had a guy who would offer his services to kill people or just escort them, he got first pick of the loot and would KOS anyone who came near his employer One time he was also defending a medic with sniper cover so yeah it's a viable option In fact if your looking for a job : http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/180076-operation-sanctuary-safe-zone-upcoming-event-calling-all-heroes/ I'll make a deal with you You get whatever you want from any bandits that attack, first pick above anyone else First thing is it's going to be a long haul, 2-3 hours of protecting friendly players and ensuring the area stays bandit free Doing your best to help keep people alive And if by somehow no bandits turn up (unlikely though as the server is being announced publicly) I'll give you my mosin and long range scope at the end as payment or anything else I have on me (providing I don't lose it by getting killed, but if I do there will be other bodies around anyway) Actually I think I'll give it to you eiether way, as long as you swear to help protect our safe haven event and stick it out Take a look and see what you think Might not be your kinda thing, but if it is let me know

Thanks And don't get me wrong, looks like you guys are doing a good job with your own operation But your right, yours is focused on both killing bandits and helping people, where as my group has spent a lot of time hunting bandits and decided to try something different by focussing on making a safe (even if temporarily) place for them to trade and seek help if they need it, or just to stock up on supplies they can't find Ive still got a few replies to send later today so I'll do a head count and see what our numbers are, as I'm aiming for 10-15 people and we are starting to push that number already

But they ended up killing 14 bandits and helping 4 people so great for killing bandits but for helping people, well that just tells everyone that all the bandits are heading to that place Their report just confirms what I've said, that it turned into a firefight without helping that many people I could argue that the people that want our exact location don't have any balls because they want to know exactly where we are so they can log in from their little SAFE sniper position and use little skill to pick people off without any danger to themselves as there's no way we can spot them approaching because we all know they will log in somewhere with a perfect shot at us I think they know it's next to impossible to not be seen approaching and want to cheat (or exploit if you will) to kill us easily But I don't say they have no balls do I?

As much as this would make everyone feel safe, I can't ask people to do what I wouldn't do myselfThis would appear more like a robbery to most players and I don't want to give that impression, we will state they need to keep their gun away while they trade Ect but I won't ask them to disarm in that way and I don't really want to search them They will be watched at all times anyway, especially if we come under attack while they are in the safe zone Also I'm working my way through my PMs so please don't worry if I haven't replied yet as I've had to clear my inbox due to insane amounts of messages from people who have created an account, messaged me over and over almost demanding to be part of security I do have some replies to write so please bear with me

Exactly so giving the location attracts bandits and server hoppers Can't do anything about the hackers, but I can eliminate most of the server hoppers and only the bandits willing to put in time and effort will find us Sounds much better then instant death upon logging in because they know where we will be

No one is being forced to do anything, everyone who has been selected is a volunteer (and about 50% are people ive worked with before ) The only thing they are being told to do is don't KOS And don't point your weapons in a threatening way Anyone not willing to accept these laws doesn't deserve to enter the safe zone The jobs they have been given, they asked for them EVERY person that is joining this has been asked what they want to do You clearly want to turn this into something its not, you clearly want it to fail by us giving you all the information you need to server hop inside, have a group ready to log in and ambush us ect and then will post something like "Hey this dumass shit failed, there guys are crap ect" Keep dreaming, your just wasting your time here, so don't bother turning up The event will be running for 2-3 hours, if you cant be bothered to spent some of that time searching locations that match the information ive given out then don't bother coming, its not going to take that long to search the map if you have an organised group So basically what you saying is give the server info out (already going to be done) give out the location (so that groups can be set up ready for us, so we will probably wiped out while logging in) and if not then we will already be surrounded meaning ZERO chance of anyone entering the safe zone for help and then you expect us to sit around for 2-3 hours while people server hop in and takes sniper shots at us Doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me Ill make this clear one more time: The event is to HELP friendly people, give them a SAFE place to TRADE and SEEK help, not to sit around in a prolonged FIREFIGHT for a few hours at the pleasure of all the bandits None of which will happen if we give out the location

We will have people bringing in survivors, you know if you actually follow people instead of just shooting them maybe you will be able to see groups of people moving around and where they are headed They will be there for a few minutes trading for stuff they maybe cant find, get medical aid and then Visitors are told to leave Not many places like that, do some scouting yourself If nothing happens for 10-15 minutes, ill run one of our mini events Well theres the south east ruled out right away, maybe read my post before posting Anything else you want me to say that ive already posted?

Not going to happen, if I wanted a fight I already told you I would make an event called "here we are, come kill us" or go and hunt bandits like I normally do The last time we had people logging around us, full 40 server and when someone left another guy would join and be right in our face. Its not about having any balls, it will be boring as shit having a firefight for 2-3 hours when we have to watch every inch of our surroundings for people logging in on top of us Tell you what, make your own event, call it "come here, kill me" and tell everyone where your going to be positioned and don't lie about it and give a weeks notice and be at a location where its accessable from the coast easily If you last longer than 3 hours on a livestream (Set it up at a specified time and prove its not a recording by performing certain actions with your character), ill tell everyone where we are going to be and constantly tell people on the stream your server and location and watch the shitstorm decend on you Didn't think so Maybe you grow some balls, use some tactics, intel and skill and look for us instead of wanting some easy kills because you know where we are

I'm am giving away the server I have said this multiple timesAnd no I'm not giving the location away The last friendly event I was part of did this and it resulted in 40 people in elektro, and became a constant firefight for an hour instead of the friendly event it was suppoesed to be If I want to make an event called "here we are, come as kill us" I would call it that We will have scouts out there bringing in friendly survivors and bandits will have to work to find us We will be fighting on our terms, not yours It will be a laggy gun battle where nothing that we intend to get done will get done where we will have squads of 4+ logging inside our location every 5 minutes, do you really think that no one is going to try logging in inside the safe zone while a battle is going on? Use your skills to find us, or don't bother Besides giving away the location makes it the opposite of a safe zone as people will know that's where all the bandits will be

Ok, after some scouting this weekend I've confirmed the location (which is still secret) Should be interesting as I've chosen a location that is easily defendable, snipers will have to get within 100m and risk being spotted due to terrain and buildings Ect completely blocking thier view past that distance and has plenty of places to position defence personnel And it's still well within sight of main travelling routes or at least have some guys watching the surrounding towns for survivors So you bandits better get out there and start scouting where you think we will be or just blindly search on the day Totally up to you

Yeah, reminds me of the time in the mod I got tricked by some fake heroes and they killed me when I was a new spawn. So I went and got a gun and challenged them to a rematch on side chat, and they said no because I was shit because they killed me before

Cool you made a thread to insult people

I'm sure there will be more than a few groups trying to take the place from usBesides you got to find it first It will be interesting to see some bandits team up against us, especially if you youtube it too I can imagine how much mistrust there will be between those kinda of people teaming up

I'll be announcing the server nearer the timeWhat if the server is full? Down for maintainance? Empty? Has connection difficulties or some of us can't connect? It's far easier just to spend an hour before the event looking for a server that runs well And bullying? The people who are invited into the town as trusted members don't have any real rules Don't KOS Don't point your weapon at people These are fair rules If people don't have any rules to follow then everyone will be dead in minutes, we will inform people what they are getting into and if they don't like it they don't have to enter and can leave Even with these rules it will be hard to maintain peace, relaxing them would just cause mayhem We have almost zero association with the CQF, we met them once, they helped us out and their reputation proceeds themI just invited then to join that all Erm nope, the server will be given out nearer the time, it's just the location they won'tThe goal is to help people, not play defend the castle from waves of re spawning bandits So the server we are on will be enough, and will get revealed in due time I'll start making some replies to people who want to join tomorrow

Yeah we don't wear gas masks and some form of way to ID our people will likely be put into effect My group will be ok, as we have some experience doing this and we've been ok so far but that's because we give important updates like "I'm moving past this building now" Ect But I can see it being a problem for some or new people joining

Those who have posted here willing to attend will be background checked and PMed to say they have been accepted There's a lot to go through so that's why I've given a 1-2 week warning so I can get through them all Then when it's about 24 hours to go I'll give them all the info and release the server IP when the operation begins so that other people and bandits can try and find it on that server

I think I may well tell the server its on then :) On the day, and let people find us, including the bandits Good idea Its going to probably be held at a location where its unlikely someone would spawn in but somewhere we can see a main travelling route, therefore if they are spawning in we will assume they are ghosting us and give them one chance to log out just in case we are wrong Ha, yeah its also been on our forums for a while lol http://dayzsaregulators.freeforums.org/operation-sanctuary-future-mission-t63.html To all those wishing to apply, ill be taking a good look at their post history and sending a PM to all those I accept And thank you for all the support, im looking to do this in the next 1-2 weeks :)

That's why I said AFTER the update, where zombies will be respawning which will add to the danger somewhat Purposes Show the community that not everyone is KOS Give people a place to get aid if they need it Allow other groups as well as our own to get some publicity Set foundations to future events which will be more common and better co-ordinated if some of our people can work together well Form alliances with other groups And for the security We've done this before, besides if no one turns up after 30mins we will just switch servers We will be taking it in turns to loot Other events will be taking place, which our security will be permitted to participate in, just some fun events to fill in the gaps while no one is around Again, we have done this before, the only difference is we are adding people and making it public Also, the event will only be around 2 hours
