I presume supermarkets and residential buildings? For some reason, I cannot seem to find one anywhere at the minute!

We saw a chopper flying back and forwards over Berezino and hid in the trees deciding what action to take. Suddenly they decide to land in a field very close to us. The landing goes wrong. BOOM! No more chopper. Damn, we wanted to kill them and steal it. We approach cautiously to find two dead players and they had some amazing stuff. MK48 MOD, AS50, M9SD, M4A1 CCO SD, plus all the equipment you could ever want. Much better loot that a normal downed chopper, and best of all? No zombies. LOL.

I'm not afraid to die as I know exactly where a large base is on a certain server that I can just run back to and gear up with EVERYTHING. The base is always loaded so they must be duplicating stuff. To be honest it's making the game kind of stale at the minute. Plus I play with a group of people and that makes the chances of survival so much greater. I miss the early DayZ where I would be playing solo, be constantly afraid, and overjoyed when I found a can of soda! Now even the high end military gear seems common to me. I might start playing solo and avoid the server where I know the base location. Might make the game fun again...

I agree with what you are saying. I made a post yesterday regarding the differences between playing solo and playing with a group. It is like playing two completely different games. Playing solo makes this game feel like a zombie apocalypse, playing in a group makes this game feel like a PVP death match. I started out playing solo and this game scared the crap out of me. I loved it! Then I played with a group of 5 or 6 real life friends and suddenly the game wasn't scary at all. We actually get a bit bored looking for things to do as survival is pretty much a certainty as we have all the best equipment. Even if we die, we have a base loaded with stuff to go back to. I am actually contemplating only playing this game solo going forwards and not using online maps or other things to assist me. But, like others have said, if grouping up with friends was not an option in this game, a LOT of people wouldn't play it anymore. So there needs to be at least some choice for the player. If there were specific anonymous servers where you have to play solo and group with randoms, that would be great.

I started out playing this mod solo and had some of the most tense, adrenaline inducing moments I have ever experienced when playing a game. Running round, with no clue where I am going, crawling past zombies, hearing them snarling and praying that they don't see me. Then there was the sense of elation as you come across a weapon, any weapon, Makarov, Lee Enfield, no matter how poor. Anyway, I eventually started playing with a group of friends which is still great fun but it feels like a lot of the magic is gone. I rarely get any exciting moments now as survival is so much easier. Sometimes seeing another player can make things interesting. Though I would imagine most players would run a mile when they see 5 of us with ghillie suits carrying the best weapons in the game (I know I would). I am currently running with an L85, M4A1 CCO SD, M9SD, Ghillie Suit, NVG's, GPS, Range Finder. Basically everything I need. We have a camp with 6 or more tents all full of the best equipment. I see why so many people turn to being bandits or concentrating on PVP once they are this geared up. I personally have only 1 murder in all my time playing. I can't remember the last time I died to a zombie or another player. In fact my last death came due to a glitch in the game. I have gotten into the habit of using the online maps too which further takes away from the immersion.. So, I am seriously contemplating starting over and playing solo to see if any of the magic comes back. I will not use online maps or any other assistance, only the tools provided by the mod.

Fingers crossed we can have more than one character in the full game. Can have the best of both worlds then. :)

Exactly that. It's almost like a totally different game playing solo compared to playing with a group.

I've done 2 trades in the last couple of days. Both went without a hitch. Just make sure it's on your terms and if possible have someone over watching.Also, make sure you both agree on course of action during the trade, i.e no pointing gun at each other.

I want an L85. How many tents for it? Inbox me.

You are going to be very limited with a 300w PSU. You could probably just about get away with a 6850 as they draw low power.

L85?

I am currently at work and won't be home for another 8 hours...

I just cannot seem to get my hands on one of these so am willing to swap some of the following for one: MK48 Mod with 3 boxes of ammo M4A1 CCO SD with 5 mags of SD ammo Ghillie Suit NVG GPS Range Finder Mountain Dew Any offers? UK / Euro servers preferred.....

I will give you the MK48 MOD plus ammo and a Ghillie suit. What's your Skype and where are you from?

What location are you? I'm from UK.

I have an SVD camo that I would swap for the L85 and NVG's...

Is this gun still in the game? I am yet to find one after about 3 weeks playing. I have so much equipment, rare stuff too. But this gun continues to elude me. :(

Ah shame. We are UK so it wouldn't really work due to ping issues... Good luck!

Where are you located?

Well now, that's just greedy. :lol:

Well if anybody has one they want to get rid of, I will happily swap for an MK48 Mod, Ghillie, NVG and GPS? :D

I use a 6850 that I picked up for just £80. It runs the game really well (45-60 FPS). However, I have an i5 2500k processor which is certainly doing a lot of the hard work....

Tents are crazy right now. The other day me and some mates tried for ages to put some tents down in good positions near our base. Each time, it only put the tent in a bad position so we packed it straight up afterwards. Next day we went on the server and there were about 10 extra tents in our area. At first we thought someone had discovered our base and put loads more tents around for some reason. But they were all empty. It turns out they were the tents that we packed up the previous day. It allowed us to pack them up between us so now we are set for tents for a long time... LOL.

Been alive for ages. Two friends and I were playing on a night server for the first time all kitted with NVG's. Was great fun. Then it happened. I ran in front of my friend as he was shooting a goat. Instant death.

I believe it is just fine.
