They only spawn like this when you shoot, and when you shoot they auto agro to you So don't go around shooting everyone maybe?

Had a similar encounter with some guys who were horrible shots. Spawned in at the town near NEAF (didn't know there was a spawn point there now) And went to NEAF, only about 10 people on so fancy a chance at a gun at least See movement in the top of the camo building, think "fuck it, may as well see if they are friendly" as im a new spawn only with a cowboy hat I found on the way I get close, shots fired from a M4, guy is in the bushes outside the door spamming at about 20m, I hide behind the guard shack, he keeps firing until hes out, Im gonna head and punch him then two guys from the windows start shooting at me, I zig zag away from them and all 3 are firing at me, two mosins and an M4 I get back to the hangers without taking a hit and decide to go talk to them I manage to get back to the camo building, right below them and see the M4 guy hiding behind a bush and trying to prone his way toward me (PRO TIP, DONT LEAVE THE GUY WITH THE ORANGE BACKPACK AS A WATCHER OUTSIDE" I say "Guys come on, the ammo you just used is worth more than my life" "A lot of swearing back from a 12 year old which includes, faggot noob, we gonna rape you, ect ect" So I run around some more, on the airfield, takes them a while to realise im just hoping they will waste all their ammo. I head back a few minutes after they stopped shooting.......yeah they logged Then I see another guy coming down from the hills with an M4, I lose connection and log in dead. So someone got me. I counted the shots after the first volley, I was looking at 3 M4 mags and about 20-25 mosin rounds They were really moving slowly and aiming slow so they probably had crappy computers but still was great fun

Well here's a problem with the matchmaking system Even with a good ping, servers can still suffer from horrible de sych I wouldn't mind a matchmaking system, but it would need to have some sort of options as this is my only gripe with that Obviously if your playing with friends id like the option to form a "matchmaking" group

After respawning on a low population server we decide to have a little fun and get carried away with the zombies

The reason you couldn't switch weapons is usually due to de sych and the invisible zombies are too When there's de sych sometimes it can put your weapon away instantly so that's what it was probably doing Well you were most likely lagging and couldn't see them, so yes they were invisble because of connection difficulties where as really you were standing there and they were hitting you but on your screen they hadn't caught up with you Sounds most likely internet issues, as I play most days and have never encountered this

The thermal scope spawning the mod was never the problem, it was hackers spawning them in I gurrantee if an as50 thermal was added, one guy hacking for his group will kit 10 of his friends out with them And when one of those guys dies some lucky bastard will grab it and so the deterioration of the game will begin And within a week every Bambi and his mother will have one

EVENT HAS ENDED I have been gathering other friendly players secretly for an upcoming operation Operation Sanctuary Countdown: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20140323T16&p0=136&fg2=ff605a&msg=Operation+Sanctuary&swk=1 Our mission will be to set up a safe zone in (CURRENTLY CLASSIFIED) and videoed for youtube The Regulators will run security in different positions and a number of civilians who are friendly that will be assisting Im working on recruiting those from trusted sources at the moment civilians will need to bring food, water and medical supplies and we shall enter a FULL server and assist anyone who comes through We will have to approach survivors and attempt to tell them that they are entering a non KOS zone and must keep there weapons away, except melee for zombies It will take place on a weekend, to maximize our numbers and the server will only be given in PM to those recruited ( more on that at the end of the post) A trading post will be set up as well as a medical centre Rules of the sanctuary: Anyone drawing a gun is likely to be shot, only security are permitted at all times to have weapons ready No KOS Attacking another survivor unprovoked will result in security shooting that survivor, you have a right to defend yourself even if not security, it's not a dictatorship, if you feel threatened or are attacked then use what force you have to use Anyone spotted aiming at the safe zone with a sniper rifle will be shot Anyone logging ininside the safe zone will be told to log out, and shot of they refuse Respect the security rules, they are there for your safety Anyone is free to leave at any time, peacefully Visitor rules A visitor is someone who has been brought into the safe zone or is not trusted as a member of the original safe zone Visitors must have firearms holstered, unless engaged they must not draw their weapons, use melee against zombies Must comply with security personnel and remember, you are a guest and we will protect you if need be All visitors must be escorted while inside the safe zone, do not stray from the group and if you are split up call out Visitors are not permitted on teamspeak, and groups of more than 2 are not permitted to stay in the safe zone permanently Citizens These people are those who are part of the operation but not a security member These players are assigned tasks such as food distribution or medical aid However unlike visitors, they have come from a trusted source and are permitted to use whatever means they deem necessary to protect themselves if security are not nearby They do not have to keep their weapons away but must be lowered and should they feel threatened or a visitor draws a weapon at them they are authorised to defend themselves even if firing first (as visitors are not permitted to draw their guns, this is a breach of the rules) Should the CQF turn up, they are considered Citizens are are authorised to have their weapons drawn, but lowered as not to alarm other residents of the safe zone As a citizen you have every right to defend yourself Try to call for security first if you spot something suspicious or your attacked, but feel free to fight if you have to Security Security are limited to regulators only, although the CQF may be considered to join the defence if I can get them to come by Security are the only people permitted to move around with weapons drawn at all times to ensure swift retaliation from an attack Security are there to protect and make sure the trades and medical aid go smoothly ------------------------------------------------ If you are interested in becoming part of the safe zone, we have slots open for medics and traders, if all slots are filled you can still drop by The goal is to protect those inside and assist passing survivors DETAILS such as time and location will only be revealed to trusted survivors and heroes, this is your reward for sticking it out this long (extensive research will be done for all players applying to be part or this event) HOWEVER the server will be announced publicly and bandits will have to search the map for us It will be a place where you can trade, give or receive assistance, and perhaps find some new friends The server will be main hive, regular and we will be waiting to at least after the update is applied If you are a friendly, friendly group or hero you may apply here, anyone applying who had registered an account after this date will never be accepted and we will be checking your posts to see what kind of person you are Those accepted will be given citizen status (see above) This will be on a full server, so there will still be bandit attacks and I'll announce the server publicly but not the safe zone location In addition, a number of small events such as boxing will be held to fight for prizes This event won't be held right next to the common spawn points, we are testing various locations away from elektro and Cherno and balota to see what will make a good place for this operation

That's actually pretty much what we did :) With the addition of a few snipers placed as well

We set up a safe zone in berezino docks and this is what happened including some bugs :( As you can see the game hated me on this day A big thank you to the CQF for the support, the TMW for medical and the other survivors for just being part of the group

Thanks for all the support There will be other operations in the future and we will most likely announce where we are going to be next time

Don't worry These kind of people in your original post OP only pick on people who can't fight back Such as newspawns, I'd like to see them try that against a fully geared player These kind of trolls run or log at the first sign of danger

Yeah, open for our snipers ;) We found a couple of nifty positions you cant reach around there without being seen, the idea was to let people inside without our teams being seen and have them surrounded if they were hostile as well as having sniper cover, we also had the CQF around the city too covering that part

Berezino docks :)

We actually suspect two bandit groups turned up at one point as there were 4-5 people engaged in a battle for a few minutes right after I announced where we were We just let them kill each other We were attacked by two bandits at one point but by the time I got there they had been taken care of, they tried their luck against a much larger group but at least they can say they had the balls to try And another guy ran into the safe zone and shot 1 of us, saw how many people were around and then he mysteriously dissapeared So if any of the other guys got these on record please post it

I always get a post about this on most of my videos :(I do play hardcore but i chose 3pp server because the majority of players play on those Thanks I would have asked you guys alongBut as you can probably see by the player list we had way more security than first expected

I can confirm the OPs problem Met two friendly guys yesterday and one kept getting disconnected As soon as the message said on the bottom right that he was kicked by battleye he immeiedtly disappeared Happened multiple times Although one and only one of the times he was disconnected did his body sit down He was mod conversation some of those times as well

Yeah they were very professional in this operationIt was good to have them with us

Heres the video http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/181815-operation-sanctuary-safe-zone-regulators-cqf-tmw-and-other-friendlies/

Yeah they probably saw this and decided not to bother: http://moddersdungeon.webs.com/photos/list/bandicam%202014-03-23%2021-06-21-834.jpg

Ok video of some of the highlights will be up soon, but I missed a lot of the action so you can see some of the people we helped out though A big thank you to the CQF and all the citizens that attended

The thing that got me the most of all these bandits saying they were going to attack us We announced the server and location and they must have seen the player list and thought "fuck that"

ive logged off and I think the other guys are going to as well Fair enough, but what happened? Did you fire mid reload or was it just a glitch on my screen?

BTW most of the video I didn't actually see the firefights or friendlie so there wont be much action if I post it

That was you red helmet? You were reloading on my screen so I stepped out and got killed, de sych probably

Mission ended 10 friendlies encountered 7 bandits killed Casualties in safe zone 6 We help a load of guys out, gave them some supplies, backpacks made from sacks and rope Had a few bandits, but nothing major. had a group of bandits fight some other bandits, we then killed the last two survivors of the bandit battle Died twice, both to bugs First time I got shot at, fired back and it put my gun away randomly when I had the drop on him so I died Second time I saw a bandit reloading, I step out, fired and he killed me MID reload animation Posted the server IP and our location, and guess what? No groups came to us, where were all you bandits that were coming to kill us?
