This only comes off as "whining" because whether or not it bothers solely you, I know a lot of people have similar complaints and problems and its inhibiting me from enjoying this game when I have to set aside half an hour to simply get somewhere where I can actually have fun. Not everyone can sit at their computer for 4 hours running around to the best loot or spots. I'd like at least the ability to spawn somewhere more than the East coast.

I lol'ed

Will the exercises like "Operation Greenzone" be scheduled somewhere so that people could participate?

I just rolled up to the Cherno church in my jeep because I heard gunshots and people asking for help in side chat. As I rolled up, I realized there was another (exactly the same) jeep as mine outside the church. I honked my horn once and asked if anyone needed a ride. 2 guys came out of the church and one ran up to my jeep saying "Yea I could use one!" It sounded sarcastic, and it was too late before I realized what he was doing. He shot his revolver through the window and I passed out with only about half my blood. He got in my jeep and I thought for a second I had lost everything, but for some reason he was really intent on killing me. He tried (with zero success) to run my character over for a solid 2 minutes as I was passed out. I got back up, and shot him in the face and got back in my jeep. I drove away 50 meters and got out to bandage, and his friend rolled up. His friend got out and unloaded 2 full mags of Makarov into my chest as I got out of my car, and then I shot him once in the head with my AK and he died. I'm currently hunting for meat in the North to regain my health, and I now feel like one of those invincible assholes I always shoot but never kill. People just need to learn to shoot for the head!

So I'll try to keep this short, but just the past couple days I had quite the interesting life cycle in Dayz. I was playing on a common server I enjoy; It's private hive, extra vehicles, and 1.7.7 patch. (I actually enjoy the new, more difficult patch!) DAY 1: I started off my life in Elektro with one goal : I wanted to live this life as a bandit somehow. I had no idea how I would become one, but I wanted to live the life of a bandit this playthrough. As anyone who starts in Elektro would do, i scanned the key buildings... and as anyone who plays 1.7.7 would know, I found much less than I would have hoped. The server only had 15-20 people and I hadn't seen anyone, yet I did not get a whole lot of gear from the town. But then I heard a few revolver shots to the west side of the city by the industrial buildings. Being the curious person I am, I walked over there cautiously to find that a bandit had holed up in a small building and was trapped by zombies. I took my trusty Makarov and shot him in the head right through the window, and then proceeded to finish the zombies and loot him. He had a CZ 550 with 5 rounds, some food, a revolver with a few mags, and some key essentials such as a map and a knife. A great find for just starting! Then, I walked over to the school and got on the roof slowly with my shiny new sniper rifle and continued to scope out the town. Nothing. A barren wasteland in the city of Elektro. But then I noticed something I hadn't before - two people were talking in side chat about how they were going to meet up at the Elektro gas station and then head North. Ahh I remember those days of meeting up with people in side chat... how cute. I thought I'd run North a ways into "Counter-sniper" hill of Elektro and see if I couldn't watch their little "meet up." Sure enough, about 5 minutes later two people walked into the gas station. As they sat there (presumably chatting) I shot one of them directly in the head and the other one instantly crouched. I killed one of them instantly, but the other wasn't to be seen. That was when the guys in side chat started yelling at each other, "YOU SET ME UP! YOU FUCKER." I actually audibly laughed in my computer chair. The second guy waited a good 5 minutes before attempting to sprint to the industrials of Elektro. I killed him too, but not after wasting all of my CZ ammo. I looted both bodies and found tons of food and water - perfect for my trip up North! I then left Dayz until tomorrow to continue. DAY2: Now I was a bandit! I had the cool skin, and I felt pretty cool having killed three people already! I started back where I was at the gas station, and decided to head to Cherno to pick up more med supplies and grab a bike. (Elektro was densely populated with heavy gunfire and the admin placed many bikes in Cherno to encourage North-travel) When I got to Cherno, I instantly realized it was a mistake, there were players everywhere! Every 2 seconds a shot would go off and someone would die. I took nearly 15 minutes to crawl to the med tents to loot. (I was playing cautiously because I actually wanted this character to survive a long time - I wanted to play strategically) as Iooted, a car drove up next to the med tents with a horde of zombies behind it. Of course, the zombies instantly turned to me and surrounded me in a tent. I eventually killed them all, but not after I lost nearly half of my health. Now even more zombies came because of my firing, and I became scared that players would be congregating around me soon. So I decided to jump the guys car and wait. After 2 minutes of waiting (the guy must have been afk) he started it up and started to drive away, unaware of my presence. I then said a soft "Hey". and he freaked out. He was just 14 years old by the sound of his voice, and because I don't remember his name, we'll call him person "A". Person A at first was scared but then, as we drove out of cherno, started telling me how he just got the game and found this cool car by the docks. I actually felt bad that I wanted to kill him, but I was a bandit and sometimes things have to be done. As I planned in my head how to kill him when we stopped the car, I noticed he was driving pretty fast down the road to Kamenka. He was just mindlessly talking my ear off as I watched his driving get worse and worse. Eventually the inevitable happened, I couldn't even yell "Watch out!!" in time, he slammed the car into some debris and I lost almost all of my blood. We both survived, but with broken legs and undoubtedly under 1000 blood. We walked a ways from the smoking car into a field and I asked him for a transfusion. He gave me one and gave me morphine and he said he was going to go get another blood bag from the car. I waited patiently in the field, and when he was searching through the trunk of the car heavy sniper bullets started raining onto him. I sat in the field and watched as someone from a hill near Kamenka shot a good 15 rounds of m24 or as50 into my little friend and our car - blowing it up. I decided that was enough for one day, layed down in the grass and logged out. DAY 3:This was my final day as a Bandit but an eventful one! I found a bike and decided to head up North, probably to Stary Sabor. On my way there, I came across a perfect-condition car sitting outside of a random town. When I got inside, it was full of food, morphine, blood bags, and a few low rarity guns like AKs and pistols. As I started to drive away, I heard one guy over direct chat say "He's taking my car!!" They shot many rounds at me, but I was out of there fast - getting away with the car intact and my face not blown in! I continued to drive for a few hours in a specific routine - park outside a city, loot it, return to car, rinse repeat. Over this period of 3 or 4 hours of playing I killed 2 more people (In much less-interested ways, just simple sneaking up while they were killing zombies) After this routine I ended up near Berezino, and I looked into the distance to see a downed chopper. As I approached the chopper I saw two guys running towards my car from it. At first I was scared, maybe they'd fire upon me? But then I realized something.. the voice was familiar.. The 14 year old who had driven me earlier was one guy, (Person A) and the other guy was the person I stole the car from. (It must be said that I was not driving the same car, but driving a jeep instead, I simply transferred the gear over because Jeeps are better offroad, so he did not realize I was the same person. Person A kept complaining that he was infected, and so was Person B, so I decided to drive them to Berezino to search the hospital. I took them there and they looked around, not finding antibiotics. I told them to get back in my car while I texted someone quick, but once they got into the back of my jeep, I took out my revolver and aimed at their heads. I said "Sorry, zombie rule #1, never travel with infected!" and shot them both in the head killing them instantly. I felt like a true, proud bandit now - I had killed with stealth, with aggression, and with deception, and it was all to gather gear and survive. I was not killing "Bambis", I was playing the game how a Bandit should, and I was having fun! But of course, as I was in the North Eastern Airfield, karma hit me. Well, a zombie hit me. I got infected and as I casually strolled back to my jeep to get antibiotics, I realized I had none.. I only had half of my blood and that's when I realized the situation was actually extremely urgent.. my blood was going down fast! I was going over 100km/hour down debris filled roads just so I wouldn't bleed out. I got to Berezino, checked the hospital.. none there. I rushed down that road to Elektro and to the hospital, it was then that I realized actually how much this "Infection" plays into this game. It adds (at higher play) a sense of urgency.. a reason to go back to the coast.. it actually *scared* me! I rolled up to Elektro hospital quick, got out, shot out the windows and started to loot. I had a hundred noobs in side chat saying "WHOS CAR IN ELEKTRO?" CAN I HAVE A RIDE?" "SOMEONE SHOOT IT!" After 2 bold survivors with axes tried to take me out (with no success) I started taking sniper fire from the hill and decided to book it to Cherno. My screen was hazy now as I got to the Cherno hospital. I sprinted out of my car and smashed all the windows furiously, Where the fuck was the antibiotics??? I checked last box.. boom, jackpot! There were three antibiotics, I quickly took one. My screen was still hazy and blood was low, but now I could finally relax for a second. I got back to my car and started to head West to Kamenka. As I was driving down the road, a helicopter passed me.. It was towing a large humvee. I stopped on the road briefly to let it pass trying to go undetected, and it started to turn around... I typed into side chat "Helicopter friendly?" The chopper paused a few seconds, and started to unload chain gun into my car. I hopped out and ducked behind my Jeep as a hail of bullets rained down on me. It paused, reloading, and I decided to stand up and return fire with my M4A1. I shot a good 3 clips into the chopper and it flew away briefly. I thought I had won, but as I started to drive away it returned behind me, chasing me and gattling me down simultaneously. I reached Kamenka grocery store and ran in - I watched as the chopper destroyed my Jeep and continued to circle me. After 15 minutes of trying to shoot through the windows and me spraying clips into it when he reloaded, it finally flew away. I stopped for a second and just stood there, catching my breath from all the shit that had happened. Just before I was going to log out, a player (new) ran into the grocery store. All he had was an axe. He screamed "Please don't shoot! I'm friendly, I just got this game!" I was going to shoot him, but decided I'd done enough Banditry that day, and I was out of M4A1 ammo anyways, most of it had burned up in the jeep explosion. I said "It's alright, I won't kill you, I'm out of ammo anyways." He took this advantage to run towards me and hack at me with the axe, as I backed into the corner of the grocery store and screamed "No no no wait wait stop!" Then I died. From a noob with an axe. After all that. Damn I love this game.

I think it'd be interesting if some zombies were slow and some were fast, and the fast ones infected you.. at least then you could tell them apart! Or maybe 1 out of every 50 zombie attacks will be a "bite" that infects you.

something to do

Hello there, I, like many people, have gotten just slightly bored of Dayz, but one thing I like doing is collecting things, so I thought, why not bring that to Dayz? I only recently started collecting items to trade on a specific server, and what I want to do is continue trading fairly and cooperatively with people to establish a basis that I am a reputable trader. The one thing I'm lacking still is a car, which I will hopefully be acquiring some day soon, so we'd have to meet on foot somewhere close to where I am. [i trade items at Berezino.] So I want to build up enough reputation via smaller trades so that eventually, people who are in the area of Berezino that know the forums well, can see if i'm online by PM'ing me, and then I can trade them key items they need. Here is a current list of every item I have and am willing to trade for other items. I'd also like that if we have a successful trade, you give me a +1 on the traders/traitors list. Thanks :) EDIT: This list is not accurate, will be updated within a day or so, depending on work. Look for it then, ~Lockdown WHAT I HAVE: [Weapons] -AS50 -CZ550 -M107 -FN FAL -DMR -L85A2-AWS -M14 AIM -M4A1 Holo SD (2) -M4A1 -M4A1 CCO SD -M4A3 CCO (2) -M249 SAW -SVD Camo -M1911 [Ammunition] -8 10RND (M107) -12 DMR -13 STANAG -7 AK -9 FN FAL -3 200RND M249 -11 SVD Camo -3 STANAG SD -4 CZ550 -1 Grenade [Various Gear/Car Parts] -1 Wheel -1 Main Rotor Assembly -1 Engine Part -4 Scrap Metal -9 Jerry Cans -1 Fuel Tank Part == -4 Camo Clothing -3 Tents -2 Ghille Suits -2 NVGs -1 Antibiotics -2 Blood Bags -Various Medical Supplies -Various Food/Drink I'm doing this for the better of the community, and I want to help. As soon as I get a vehicle, I'm going to be repositioning my base nearer to the North West Airfield so I can provide medical assistance to people who are further from a hospital. I will not be able to do much tonight, but keep me in mind in the future when you need something. I usually work till later, so you will see me on later at night, or on nights I don't work, I'm on after my homework and such. Just remember, we will be doing trades on low pop/0-pop servers, so nothing will go wrong. I accept survivors/bandits/heros. I do not care what you do with the weapons or what you plan on doing, just that our trade goes smoothly~ Currently, I'm seeking weapons I don't have, SD Ammunition, and rangefinders. PM with offers and such, but If I don't always get back to you right away I'm sorry, I'm a busy guy! -Donations are well accepted and appreciated- I'm just trying to get my trade rep up :) Have fun Dayz-ing, and good luck on your future endeavors! ~Lockdown127

As the title says, here is an updated list of what I have in stock.

EDIT: 5 Hours until trading ends.

HALL OF FAME! :D Fricken sweet! :D

I was running in the rain for a while.. And I just coughed. I logged out because I'm trading in this location in a little while, but what happens when I cough? Will it go away? If not, MEDIC!

maybe not so quick, maybe 8 hours day 4 hours night, or 6 hours day, 3 hours night. But good idea! And good job on the english :}

We are bored and looking for a fight OR trade in server US 2555. If you come to fight, we can bring it. If you come for help, we can offer it. Elektro School/Offices. EDIT: Server went down for maintence Maybe next time, Bandits!

IM READY TO ROLL :D

Hi. In server 2555, in the offices/school of elektro, we've started a "Safe Zone" Here, we have many people set up and ready to help you in any way you need. Need medical assistance? Got things to trade? Need any help? Come here, maybe we can help! Bandits and hackers are not welcome. Legit, real fights are not exactly welcome. But if you bring heat, we can match you. <SAFE ZONE> *Guarded by armed personel*

8 minutes and counting :)

I invite you.

Haha like the title? It's punny!.. :D Anyways... Tonight, I'm not sure an exact time, sometime within the next 3 or 4 hours perhaps, I will be attempting something that I have never done before. My character's current location is by Berezino, but tonight, I'm going to grab what supplies I can (Such as tents and weapons and equipment) and run to Elektro. From there, I'm going to hop onto a very low population server 0-5 or 5-10 and place a few tents in the Elektro offices. This is where I will need some help!... Then my team (anyone who wants to help) will gather all the supplies in Elektro, and transfer them to the offices of Elektro, in one spot. We will then barricade off the school yard and side entrances with wiring and tank traps so that there is only one entrance. I will station a guard on the 2nd floor and 1 guard at the entrance, to monitor people coming in or traveling through the city. We will also have a tent placed at the entrance of the school yard so that people can leave their weapons safely there while they come in for supplies (medical/beans/water) an assistance in any way they need! Obviously I will get some bad feedback from this idea, "That's never going to work." or "Have fun bandits" or "Hackers dumbass LOL" but I really don't care. Anyone who tags along, I suggest you bring weapons that you are NOT afraid to lose.. because the chance of a bandit or hacker attack would be large if posting the location and server with the outpost on the forums... but I really want to try this! We could role play it up as a survivor outpost that helps those who need supplies or assistance! Regardless of the turnout, it would be fun, would it not? Not enough events like this happen, and I really want to do one! The way I see it, for this to be fast, successful, and safe, I'd need at least 4 or 5 other people that are willing to cooperate, are not afraid of death, want to help people, and are brave enough to conquer the fears and bandits of elektro to help others in need. More details will be released soon, as I am not currently out of school yet haha C: But tonight I plan on getting a team together. Leave a post below if you will be on later tonight, and are willing to help, and say what you can/want to bring to the table. Familiar faces on the forums that I see a lot will be the first of my choice. Thanks ~ Lockdown. -Leave your hate somewhere else-

Cool beans! :) Now have mine! :P

http://s1171.photobucket.com/albums/r551/Lockdown127/?action=view&current=UAZ.png LOL... This was 20 mins ago.

One of my good forum buddies RogueOne PM'ed me and asked me for some medical assistance. He said he needed morphine and was too far away from his car, so I got to the coordinates as fast as I could, but when I got there he was already at his car and fixed himself up. Since he was there with his car, I asked if he was kind enough to drive to Stary to pick up my friend who stranded himself, he said yes. So we drove 7,000m to Stary, and we thanked him greatly for everything he had done. He then offered to take us back to our camps. We said "yes of course that'd be amazing!" But instead, he took us to his camp. He gave us weapons, including MK Mods, SVDs, and tons of awesome equipment! It was amazing! He then took us to his other vehicle camp, and literally just said "You can have the UAZ if you want" and filled it up for us and said "Alright guys have a good one!" and just ran off into the woods. Who does that?? We are fully geared with a vehicle now! Da hell! Some people you meet on the forums truly are amazing.

I need to do some "RL" lame stuff.. so not for a few more hours. Lame I know. But when I'm ready, I will PM 5 or 6 people skype info, or TS info if people would prefer using that, (Although I don't have a TS server) I will need transportation to elektro tho, and hopefully some of you may have tents..? :P I have only 1 at the moment to place down. What I need: 3 or 4 Close Quaters (CQB) people. Equiped with shotgun/assault rifle/sun machine gun, the ones on the ground, potential death by sniper or *not nice person* should be noted, it could happen :[ 1 Overwatch on top of the school. (Must note, chance you are sniped first is greater, but I need someone to watch the compound from a close position. Weapon should be a sniper or single fire high damage round gun, maybe an LMG too. 1 or 2 people scouting the nearby area or providing sniper cover from the Elktro Hill/Counter Sniper Hill Need: Tents/Man Power/Medical Supplies/L85 (For thermal to find enemy snipers in hills) Messages will go out a little later, if you want to participate, simply leave a post here, and I will send out mesages in a few hours. (PS... A medic wouldn't be a bad idea either)

+1 RogueOne, nicest guy EVAR. Glad to trade with this fellow!

I like how 3 good friends of mine, rogue, inception, and welch, are all commenting and such on this haha. I have little faith in this Dayz community, but the faith I DO have comes from people such as yourselves!

Dayz needs moar animals. I want a squirrel like this. I want him to jump out of my helicopter, and retrieve things for me, or at least nibble at people's legs. KThanks, I expect this to be in the next patch. ~Lockdown
