Oh look.. another sniper sitting outside of a city using a .50 cal sniper to shoot at poorly geared players.. my what a good player you are.

Whilst I agree with you, he shouldve searched. you havent even begun to answer the op's question, instead you are just being a douchebag for no reason. So instead of trying to throw some pseudo elitism bullshit around, unless you have something to contribute, go watch more cartoons. on topic. I see no reason to remove, immersion etc. Ill never understand the roadblocks personally.. how would they even get there?

you cannot place tents on uneven surfaces. however, by doing the above 'step back/fwd/sideways' method, you can hope to find a tiny pixel or two of flat ground. thats how most get pitched.

I'm down for this :) sounds like fun. Ill have to talk to our server admins as I have no power atall, but they should be fine with letting us use the server to film (if you want that is)

my wife plays! but being a South African living in the uk.. Im sure thats irrelevant. some of the places in Dayz remind me of various south african townships!!! xD good luck finding people to play with, South africans are a lovely bunch

Vehicles arent worth the effort. every day we find them. and everynight we lose them. Its good and bad, but I mean, we found the helo on our server. as did many others. we had to fight and die to get that bird flying. took hours, and 10+ manpower. (farming parts) we also lost a vehicle doing it (only a motorbike tho) so, we take it to a safeish clearing. cheer a job well done, hard fought and won. 10 hours later... soembody logs in.. and its gone. somebody found it, flew it. and crashed it within 2 mins (from the wreckage we estimated 2 mins) - so, what was the point? we have cars/bikes/quads etc, and lorries, and they never last.. they come and go. we fix them up, and they get stolen or the really sadistic people blow them up. It seems that helos are the new clan top tier goal. whilst vehicles are the secondary. I myself dont harm enemy vehicles. ive come across a hilux or two (crappy 2 seater, no use to a big clan) I take what I want from it.. maybe shoot out the tires. but I wouldnt blow it up :P

I should also point out. DAyZ is NOT 30 bucks. or 20.. its free. ARMA you buy. its worth pointing out, as a few too many people think buying arma entitles them to anything on dayz. be it support. items. love. a teddy.. whatever.

No, its not hard to fly around the map flying cars... it just shows youve never done it. above the canopy.. its incredibly easy to spot vehicles. and not to bash on your stash... but.. a few crappy cars and a quad is hardly 'almost all vehicles' when you are missing some of the best offroads there are.. 1, UAZ's 2, BAF Offroad 3, Ural 4, V3S Civ come back when you have th ose! :P

not seen any screenshots of any other spawn then the island yet.. im calling BS. Island is a decent spawn point, since you have to be organised to get all the parts over to the island. this stops random players on their own finding choppers and leaves them to the organised groups who have numbers and plans in place etc. would be ridiculous for a random lone survivor to get a helo and crash it in 2 mins, just to have to wait days for it to respawn..

Sorry I didnt reply sooner, lost this thread, no I'm in the UK, so it does not. not a great deal I can do about that. EDIT: for the OP - you m ay want to invest in a solar micro usb (or whatever your phone takes) charger - keep that music etc ticking over, also your lifeline to the world

confirmed, skalisty island. just repaired ours after a fair amount of grueling time! had multiple people login server hopping around.. they all died :) only issue is.. it still leaks fuel. slowly. but still leaks. we filled it with easily 70+ cans.. (had around 10%, flew to Solnicchy refuel point) then took it away to a sekrrat location. and refueled it. 30 mins later.. it had leaked 1/3 of a tank. any idea on a fix?

I still think its bad you cant just USE the hunting knife to kill animals silently.

I actually like this, it could use some tweaks, but its good

Sorry but no :P DayZ is very immersive. anybody with a brain is scanning tree lines, and keeping eyes on.. at the very least looking at the map, plotting the next move etc.. if you have time to sit and do nothing and are 1000% safe.. you are doing it wrong. (or very right I spose)

Im not ludicrous so I dont have real zombie gear. however I do have a bug out bag for myself and my wife with a weeks supplies in for us and our daughter, along with a lightweight toolbag.

full RP mode requires winchester and revolvers. :P xD

maybe for some insane reason... somebody dropped it. or killed somebody. took it. then realised it had no ammo... so had to dash and get a lee enfield!

See, now this topic can be used as a good example of... whilst you will always have dbags. and the cynics who call 'its a trap' hopefully these two have now met another player they can trust. since they both went into a situation where they couldve easily taken one another out. and it shows us that not everyone is evil EDIT: Go go give them your beanz. they earnt them

I was really hoping this was about the storage system :P for those of us with organised camps. having a tent that can only hold X of Y and A of B items.. It should have a flat item number. (200-250) and just use that, that way people who want to have a tent for guns, and then one for other bits can do that. without having to use a mishmash of gear in each tent! also your idea is good, packing empties. would also help those who make camps with their clans, should they need to relocate/move

great idea, love the initiative. just a thought though, you might want to provide anyone with a vehicle with a guard for it? as expecting strangers to trust other strangers with their cars is asking alot :P maybe once theyve got out and made contact, a guard would babysit their car? or drive it closer (once confirmed safe) I personally would say somewhere inbetween cherno/elektro. cant get better, hospitals for supplies, and a great traffic location. I'd be up for helping guard/medic if this is taking place on EU (so long as I dont have to leave my community ofc)

I'm happy with my community, but I certainly do love this concept. its a nice 'objective' I have no intention of leaving my current community, but by all means, If you need numbers for anything, and youd let a non regulator tag along, im down (l85a2/m4sd) to fight! for lack of anything more inspiring.. 'Be the change you want to see in the world' acting like a bandit dick just because others are, or cos you can.. thats no way to be.

Only if i can yell 'Regulators, Lets ride' before I get on my bicycle.

you have given us literally 0 info about your clan, its members, what you expect from people etc etc.. how could anybody know if they 'have what it takes' (not interested anyway, <3 my comm) Im just a passing by asshat

To be honest, the only friendlies Ive met were due to my group being larger and outgearing them severely. Id be curious to know how it would go down if it were the other way around. Ive killed well over 100 players. ive met around 12 or so friendlies. I do try not to kill unless I have to, or unless they are clearly up to nefarious bandit type activities. (i.e snipers in cherno.) so id say around 10% of my encounters have ended friendlies I also like letting people live, when we were 8 in berezino, we found a group of 3, and we let them walk out of town alive with all their stuff etc.. just wanted them gone

quite simply, stop being a liberal idiot. they broke the rules. their buddy got banned for it, they then started kicking up a storm and being disruptive to the server, as is evidenced by their own screenshots. disruptive behaviour is a very subjective term. I think he was well within his rights. they are kiddies who cant play without dropping the N word.. they are better off out of DayZ.
