So you went to a city that about 15 other newspawns probably went to When all it takes is 1-2 people to clear the city of loot Do you see the problem yet?

I agree now actually and I'll be making my own settlement with trusted players and friendlies I meet in game

Whoa slow down thereI'm not sure there's enough room for your Ego in this thread

Can't wait for this to reach stable I may actually have to shoot some zombies now

There is no reward for being a hero, there never will be It's called being selfless To be fair if your giving up so easily being a hero was never for you to begin with

For those unbelievers........friendlies do exist........here are some of those encounters...... Some which became quite intense and others that were just weird, others were just people we helped along our travels http://youtu.be/ttBWdguoFBI

Well thank you sir :) Beans for you too

Posted 4mins after I posted it, maybe watch the video before postingThank you Yeah it helps to have a group covering you in case things go wrong :)

Is that before or after you search every inch of every server trying to find it?

Need Security? Im sure my team would be in We can patrol the forests and roads for incoming survivors and guide any friendlies in if you want them

Actually you can access global chat, I've accidentally done it somehow before When logging I got stuck on please wait and you can switch to global chat there for some reason

I had 2 people follow us across servers once, they kept sending steam messages saying they could see us (but we never encountered them) I think there's a way to see what server your playing on through steam Even if they arnt on your friends list in pretty sure by clicking on their profile you can then see what they are playing and there's a join button right there They don't even technically need to add you on steam, just view your profile

Or people could just form groups like mine and hunt down these people A bullet to the head and hiding their body seems to work just fine in stopping them, if people would be smart and form a group to protect themselves against bandits then something could be done NO features will change KOS, you have to di it yourself if you want a difference

You know I met a guy like you on the coast the other day Spawned in as a Freshie and some M4 immediately started shooting at me from about 400m away I hid and eventually spotted the guy and crept up on him and he spotted me about 50m away and I asked him why he was killing fresh spawns He said because I attacked him I asked WTF he was talking about and he said I was acting hostile when I spawned in so I had to be killed I told him what a dick he was being and that I was losing nothing and he was risking his life and then he said he was killing newspawns so they can't get a gun and kill him and said camping here was "surviving" Really.... Maybe that would work if it as the only server and spawn point He eventually killed me but the guy was clearly insane

Lol you can get to the north west airfield in under 30minsMaybe I should sprint another 15mins past that before I begin looting :)

Ha ok thanks Haven't played the mod in a while so wouldn't know what it's like now Good to know though that there might be a chance they are threatening at some point in standalone too :)

True we do need a more threatening zombie enemy though personally I believe they will never be a threat despite me wanting them to be one In the mod they made the zombies a massive threat at one point, high damage, high numbers and high chance of infection And 2 days later they were patched and nerfed due to MASSIVE rage on the forums that they were too powerful even though there were just as many players that liked the change, they gave in to the rage and patched it out In those 2 days I had 30+ friendly encounters as people needed blood and morphine left, right and centre though I still had hostile encounters (mainly with groups of bandits) But the game became a new type or adrenaline rush where firing a shot brought zombies from all around they could maul you in seconds So although I want done nasty zombies, doubt they will ever be anything more than annoying

Most encounters have ended in a fight or each player running away However just an hour ago I had a pretty good experience We see a guy get into a fight with 2 guys in the street and it ends with the one with the gun winning We see he got hurt but didn't see who started it so 2 guys head down while me and another guy provide cover from the small elektro hill They chat with the guy when he suddenly opens fire, I manage to take him out and we wait for our friend to come back to his body When suddenly all hell breaks loose, gunfire everywhere so me and the guy covering keep out of sight as we can't tell bandits from just unlucky survivors Then I see him, green backpack, M4 a few metres from me looking at another guy who is running gun drawn towards the gunfire, but M4 guy doesn't shoot him and instead tried to leave elektro by running straight at my hiding spot So I call out "Hey green pack guy" No response "Hey M4 guy in hill" Him: hey friendly friendly There's a tense moment as he's aiming his M4 at me and I've switched to my revolver "Can we maybe try not pointing our guns at each other?" Him, lowers his gun and then I do Him: "So what going on with all the gunfire?" ZIPPP! PING! A sniper shot lands about an inch from my face Him: who's shooting at me? Raising his gun at me probably thinking I tried to kill him "Sniper! Run!" We head into the trees and my other teammate joins us, we find some cover and I tell him that elektro just became a warzone and that we were attacked by a guy Ect He says thanks but he's off to meet a friend Was kinda forced together in a moment where a sniper spotted us and it was nice to run into someone who didn't try to backstabbing us We only knew each other a few minutes, but something in the guys voice immediately told me he was friendly and just logged in in the middle of a battle from what he told us We headed our own ways and I hope Mr. Green backpack M4 guy got far away from that hell

I'll put it this way OP Sometimes even friendly people fire first Try to make contact with people and in other situations try to have your friends in good positions where they are concealed when talking to players Remember most players will be hostile, but you will find the "true" friendlies when you pretend there is only one of you and they don't shoot when you make contact As a group, you have the best chance at surviving as neutral or friendlies so take advantage of that Be careful and take no chances If they don't respond and draw their weapon after you say hello from your concealed location, best thing is to shoot Someone who is willing to talk and negotiate will respond Don't take someone hiding and then responding as hostile, they are just being safe and trying not to get robbed It's your choice though, be something different than death match players or give in and KOS

Yes Cherno journo is actually the new world president, but you can't tell anyone he's coming to unite chenarus under the flag of peace ..... Shhhh

Unfortunately we were a little understaffed too I had 5 guys on my teamspeak that were supposed to be coming but they mistook the security team teamspeak IP I gave them for the server IP and couldn't get on Hopefully next time I'll have a full squad as the only other 2 guys in security I didn't know before that day and we were hopelessly outnumbered with the amount of hostiles they encountered before even starting the mission

Yesterday has to be the worst day for my group We lost a fight we should have won..... Due to game bugs It started on sniper hill, our sniper and spotter were there waiting to meet myself and another of my group They kill a bandit up there that attacks them and my sniper goes right to the top There is no one around except them when suddenly 5 guys open fire on the spotter breaking his legs and 5 guys had just logged in They appeared in between our sniper and me, and both me and our sniper were watching the hill, no way that they got I between us without logging in there , next they spot me and the other guy and we exchange some fire Our sniper creeps up to within a few metres and opens fire and should have killed 3 of them He keeps firing off headshots at almost blank range when he realises that a magical force field around his tree is blocking them He reloads and steps out to get clear of the tree shield and fires some mor but even a few metres away the same thing happens They finnaly turn and shoot him despite him not being able to kill them Suffice to say the other guys got sniped and I ditched my orange backpack and flanked them, being the sole survivor, I kill one as he's looting the bodies and wound another bit take a hit and fall back trying to flank again One of the guys who respawned sees 3 of them heading to the city and one heading away to the woods which I believe he logged off By the time in back to sniper hill with my mosin they are long gone Last seen heading for Cherno I sprint out alone while the other guys re gear, to find them and track them I mean, 1 guy with a vendetta travels faster than 3 men right? I check everywhere, Cherno seems unlooted and I head into he camo building as by now (after dropping my pack and getting shot all except my gun is ruined) And while inside someone takes a shot at me and I'm hit again, though I find enough food and water at the store to get healing status I get to balota and all is quiet, the others are now armed to some degree and made it to Cherno behind me Searching.... And there on sniper hill, 3 men around a body looting it, one wearing a cowboy hat like the guys from earlier Rage, hate and my heart is pounding I creep up when they start heading down to balota Now the first guy is less than 50 metres and they are running past me I look through my long range scope and they stop Perfect time to ambush them Line a headshot on the only one that has his gun out NO MESSAGE RECIEVED Screw you unannounced server restarts..... Just screw you And yeah..... Alpha dammit

Yeah totally bragging about my group being wiped out and me only killing one and then I ran away

Yeah I thought it was a bit weird, so that was rick on the stairs and not you? Still trying to work out who the other armed guy in the building was, the other guy with me hit him and I heard him bandaging The server lag was almost unbearable, but that's what you get when the whole 40 man server is in elektro

So typical day hunting bandits There's a guy on a building and I scope my mosin In but only just see the top of his ballistic helmet I see him shoot a newspawn and head to where I can see his whole body, I'm about 100 metres away now and shoot Headshot and he's down I put another round into his head to make sure No later than 5 minutes I see him suddenly stand up and bandage I shoot him again in the head He drops again Wanting to make sure this time I head up with revolver in hand and as I get to the top of the ladder I see him sitting down Combat logger I shoot him 6 times in the body but he disappears halfway through It couldn't be server lag as no server takes 5 mins to register death and besides I knocked him out with each shot from the mosin And also I shot another guy minutes later and he went down in one shot, dead So is the ballistic helmet just bugged as hell at the moment?
