On my way, sending you a pm Edit: It won't let me send a PM, send me an invite on steam or skype

I was just in Cherno, doing a medical run. I hear gunshots to the west. All I had on me was an axe and a bag full of meds, so I decide to check it out. I first find a fellow medic, in the hero skin. We exchange transfusion, I share a bit of my haul, and we part ways. Then I go to the supermarket for some food, a newbie runs in with zeds in toe. I take care of the zeds, heal him up, and bam, Hero Skin. Looks pretty sweet on me, and now hopefully people will trust me a bit more. #feelsgoodman Quick question, is there a certain number I have to stay above to keep the hero skin, similar to how bandits can have the bandit skin until +2k humanity, or is it a hard and fast rule of >5k = hero skin, <5k = not-hero skin? And also, if I were to put on a gillie for a bit, such as a NWAF raid, would I have the Hero skin when I change back?

Well I don't know why you would since tents and stuff are fixed, but if you do want to, just use DayZ commander and install .5

Can't say for vehicles, but my tents are good now. I've done some basic testing on a public server, and they save correctly. Did lose some stuff during the update, but w/e.

Some glitch, I dunno. fyi though, that AS50 TWS was scripted in, it's not meant to be in the game.

OP, unless you were getting teleported around and transformed into a goat or something like that, there is no real proof you got killed by a hacker sniper. How would you know it wasn't a thermal sniper? They are legitimately in the game. There is also something called NVG's, which can be used with the DMR sniper rifle, as well as loads of other non-sniper rifles. Just because you're wearing a gillie suit, that doesn't not mean your invisible. If you out of a bush, they can see you. If you are producing any form of light, they can see you. If you're moving any faster than walking, they can see you. Heck, they could've been tracking you for awhile and waiting for the right shot. Moral, you weren't hacked, you were just playing recklessly. Learn from the experience and move on. You weren't even that well geared, and you didn't waste they time traveling, you wasted that time getting lost. It's only about an hour run max from one place to another.

I'd recommend Zelenogork/Postoshka/Vybor for the stuff you need if you're in the west, Berenzio/Krasnostav if in the east. I'd avoid Cherno/Elektro as the risk is too high. I can also just give you the gear if you're decide on the west route.

What PoisonedAI said, and I've heard that it will be fixed in standalone. For now, since they can't attack and move, they'll never hit you as long as you're moving, and typically what people do if they plan on killing them is wait until they stop to attack, take a step or two away, and pop a cap in there head.

Just keep trying to supermarkets and see what happens. Coincidentally, if you really need matches and/or a transfusion, I'd be happy to oblige.

On for the night. Looks like there are a lot of people who need help, PM me if you still do.

Sounds like a produce first few lives. That sniper probably only likes difficult targets, he sees no sport in shooting a crawling spawner. Yes, not all buildings are enterable. There are online loot maps you can use to see which ones are, and what sort of loot they have. If you want to stay true to the RP, just stick with it blind, you'll figure it out soon enough. I will say though, one to look out for are the big barns. They're white on the side with a red roof and have two doors. They have a high chance of tier one rifles, and usually some basic survival stuff (food and drink). Castles are great too, but there's only 3 of them, one being far north and typically camped by players, but you'll be able to find them once you have a map. Falling sucks, I did it my first time in a castle as well, luckily I had a morphine, unluckily I died shortly after to my first major encounter with zeds. I've never been unfortunate enough to spawn in debug fields, but it sucks to be out there. Only thing you'll find is the occasional animal and maybe another player's camp. There are some exploits that can be done to get back on the coast with your stuff, but by the sounds of it, you don't have anything anyways. I try not to use them myself, even if I have a patient on the coast and I'm at NWAF. Glad to see you're taking everything in strides. I'm sure you'll be a successful survivor in no time. Just never get attached to your gear, as you will lose it, one way or another.

It's all about luck and timing. For instance, my most recent run though I got an M16A2 M203 (grenade attachment), G17, M9 SD, and a STANAG ammo box with all the silenced ammo I could even use. Compare this to my very first venture there where all I got was an AKM, some generic loot, and a bullet to the head.

So, still a vehicle noob. I found the ATV by Cap Golova. It looks pretty damn beat up, but I have the option to save it. However, I circled around it a few times and couldn't find any option to get on it or access the storage. I would assume it's totaled, but would I really have the save option if that were the case? Or am I just missing the spot?

Alright. Do some vehicles spawn totaled? Or did someone just crash/shoot it for fun?

You probably just approached it too fast, that or you pissed off the ghost.

There's a filter option "Hide unofficial". That should weed out any non-hive.

I require no payment, I only seek to help. I'm in position and ready to go when you get back.

I'll be there shortly, but we'll use a different server as you are bandit chow now that you've revealed yourself. Do you have skype or steam?

Was your leg broken? If not you could've made a run for it. I wouldn't have called out as he probably would've killed you in fear of losing his stuff, but you don't have much to lose so you could have. Also, Gillie doesn't mean they're pro, for instance the last one I found was in the Cherno apartments, anyone can stumble upon that. But considering he had an AK, he knew where the military spawns were and how to get them safely, so it's a toss up. I wouldn't feel too bad though. This is only your first kill. As long as you hold on to your humanity and don't fall into the shoot on sight mentality.

Anyone else who needs help in the Elektro/Cherno area I'll be happy to help.

I'm not a whitelist, but I'm looking to be one. I'll help you out.

Sounds like a great time. It can be pretty rough at the start, but soon enough you'll be looting Cherno/Elektro like a pro. If you do happen to find yourself in a situation though where you are injured and need help, hit me up, I'll help you out and probably give you some sweet stuff too.

Private hive servers do not access your global character, but instead save one on their hive. You can go back and forth from a private-hive to a normal server and progress differently, the are not connected. If this isn't the case, you may be experiencing a glitch. Kill off your character and check your installs, and pray.

Yeah, always safer to take things out of the bad and swap then put them in and expect a swap. If you tell it to move your bag gun to your inventory, it will swap the guns and mags, and random other things in your main iventory to make room for mags. If you try to put your active gun in the bag when there's no room, it will just eat it and its mags

I wouldn't worry too much about it, my play time is pretty erratic, I'm solo with casual team ups whenever we happen to both be on. The thing about not carrying around anything useful is, most people will kill you in fear on losing their stuff, even if all you have is a makarov or a hachet. There are even some that firmly believe an unarmed player is a threat. Better to get good gear and learn to play safer and smarter. As a solo, blood bags and epi-pens aren't nessisary to carry around, just make sure to have morphine, bandage and maybe painkillers. Save that room for cooked meat, as that's the best way to heal up as a solo. I only carry the meds I mentioned because I'm an aspiring medic and want to be able to give a pair of wounded guys the full treatment. For the artifacts, try filling the screen with it, then pressing left shift and '-' on the numpad, then just type 'flush' with no quotes. It usually works. I know for sure the NW hospital in cherno isn't blocked by artifacts either. That's usually the one I stop up on anyways, as it's the easiest to acess.
