Udak

Thought I got you yesterday? You still IVO cherno?

I know I lost my m4sd/m9sd today when I joined a server that dumped all my medical supplies, food and water out of my coyote and handed me an AS50 with 7x AS50 mags. Sucked dingus, what the heck am I doing with an AS50? Dropped it and now am making due with an AKM...luckily my buddy had a backup M9SD in his stockpile, but this is ridiculous.

Screen tears have ruined balota for me--the camp rapes my eyes, as well as the ATCT

Ghillies should spawn in residential as well, which also explains the recent influx of higher tier people into Cherno proper.

Jman's Taken care of!

Honestly I was considering the hike anyways--seems like more people get laid up in Cherno now then Electro anyways. Found your steamid in a previous post but it's not searchable, i'll be heading out thataways, just try to find me on steam (udak).

Glad to help out man, Anyone else need help in vicinity of electro?

If rick can't get you, I'd be happy to help. Steam: Udak

Friend request sent on steam. Just inside electro myself, bout 400m from you.

step 1: get your stuff in electro step 2: leave electro step 3: .... step 4: profit!

As I stated previous, I've got antibiotics and am in Electro. Glad to help out! steamid is udak

I got him/he's good.

Long story short, joined a hacked server and lost all my inventory :( I got an AS50 with 7 mags, but lost my m4sd. Just gave away the as50 as i hate sniping. plus side, resupplying in Electro just won me some antibiotics.

Just tried finding you on steam, wadej347 turns up no hits. If you need medical support, I'm literally just north of electro. EDIT: found you on skype, message sent.

I figure if you have someone over direct comms attempting to make the sound of an ambulance (WHEEE-WAHHHHH-WEEEE-WAHHHHH) that would help, both from identifying it as an ambulance and for providing a bit of brevity in a fairly serious game. EDIT: Back up in vic of Electro. Lemme know if you need help!

When I start a new life, I make it a point of order to not leave Electro/Cherno until I have a better backpack (czech or alice), any primary weapon, and 2/2 food/water. If you die before getting that, oh well, start over. Once you understand how to filter that dayzdb map (in such a way that you only hit up high value drop sites, those that have 10+ drop locations), you'll be in like flint. Cherno's stretches of high-value residential, however, are suspect now that camo/ghillie suits are spawning...they are one of the best spots to locate them, so a lot of top tier players are back south again. Granted, I've gotten lucky before, but I can get everything I need from these towns in about an hour.

One of Rocket's guiding lights has been realism OVER fun. Fun takes a backseat here. It's on the table, but it's a light dessert, not the main course.

I've heard a lot of people complaining about this recently; my own understanding was that it was put in place because the Arma OA Engine will delete/drop any partially filled mags so as a workaround Day Z fills the mags up on disconnect. I'm not saying it's a good thing, only that it's preferable to the alternative.

It's been like that for the past month. Sorry you feel that way. EDIT: My point is not that things were rosy a month ago, merely that when I started it was like that as well. Look through the forums and you can see posts about how bandit-centric things were in May. Turns out two major cities with lots of great spawns are really, really dangerous areas. Debate the merits of banditry all you want, but the truth remains that Cherno, Electro, Berezino(to a staggering lower percentage), Stary Sobor and the NWAF are all detrimental to your life expectancy. Roll with it and expect to die a bunch. Sooner you get off the coast, the better. Looters up north will still kill you on sight, but there are usually less of them then the cold-blooded murderers of Cherno and Electro.

It's hard to let go, but the first 2 hours of a new life rule. Then you get moderately good to top tier stuff and its back to being boring again.

Done and done!

I've heard (heresay, mind you) that some servers have vehicle spawning disabled. You would not be able to find a vehicle on those places. That said, the two times I've found bikes have been at camps in the middle of nowheresville. If a server has vehicles, they will NEVER respawn unless those controlling them are just the dumbest kids ever. Usually the hoarders take the vehicles into the trees, near the clearings where they have tents. That's my experience, so not sure how translatable that is.

I think the GMS boys have beat you to it. Their topic seems pretty fleshed out. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46642-gmsradionet-green-mountain-survivors-the-radio-station-of-the-apocalypse/

EXACTLY. Once zombies aren't a threat (by which I mean, you've played for 10 hours and have come to terms with their limitations), you have very few choices for further entertainment. I've never seen any vehicles except for bikes (and in over 100+ hrs of DayZ, i've only seen two) so while I can appreciate that being an end-game situation, I think the truth is that too many people hoard vehicles for that to ever be a viable option for the average joe. If you no longer need good stuff or at least understand where that rabbit hole inevitably leads, the game is super boring. I took up the medic stick just to have something to do, but I certainly understand banditry. Even if you die with all your top tier stuff (because you're actively hunting other humans), who cares? Now you have an excuse to start looting again. I will say that most hunting in Cherno/Electro is just in poor sport. Real men hunt Stary and NWAF. EDIT: Duping has to be fixed, first and foremost. It's cool to talk about there being limited military spawns, but most top-tier stuff is a tenth of a percent (1/1000) chance in the first place. Duping leads to L85s, AS50s, Camos, etc all over the place.
