Any South Africans on the forums?? Looking for a Clan/group or a player team up with

dont bring back guns on spawn, first off I never had that when I started playing, secondly its so much more fun starting with nothing. Im by no means a pro but in 30min of game play and couple close call I have a coyote backpack, ak-74 and a m9 sd, I did start in a great location though, but I still ran a good 2-3km's

LEGEN..... wait for it..... DARY!!!

I was pretty happy today I was exploring the map after I looted some survival tools and I was thinking hey I have been playing for a week and a bit and havent found a crashed heli, then suddenly I walk out the bushes and there it was a crashed heli with 7 or so zeds hovering around it. Anyways I crawl in and found a FN FAL AN/PVS-4 , which is awesome. But I have a question about it, why cant you turn of the NV scope?

not really complaining, just wondering... seem kind of silly tbh...I also get that they might be willing to change things to make the game more interesting. but what ever way I still have my AK-76 Kobra with SD mags,a bout a 1km/1000m away from the Airfield, so hoping to find a M14 :D oh and hoping not to get killed which probably will happen . Whats the best way to swap out weapons from your back pack with out having your back pack eat it?

Have they made the Zombies harder since Friday? Because Im getting spotted when my eye icon shows im hiden and also its not simply to loose aggro'ed zombies, I ran for ages zig zagging around house and bushes going prone after a 90 degree turn behind house bushes etc and nothing works, also if a zombie hit you with 8000 blood you loose consciousness. Im only just over a week into DayZ but the last 2 days have been seriously difficult in relations to Zombies view range and de-aggro'ing

Nope been playing a Veteran server pretty much from the start, I get that the Zombies are harder... well I imagine they are, but yeah they just seem harder, also today I spawned I didnt even move and I had aggro'ed 3 zombies.. I just gave up lol

I know lol. um yeah I get that its crap unless playing night servers, but isnt it toggle-able in Arma 2? If so why not do the same in DayZ

As the Topic Title says :) LOL I cant even spell my own countries name, Meant South African and sorry I put this in the wrong section aswell my bad

I like it to, its just frustrating... worst part of this thou was a threw a smoke grenade and all but one Zombie went for the smoke, the one that was the third or fourth furtherest from me was the one I aggro'ed so didn't make sense. I like that now shooting attracts way more Zombies, I shot 3 zombies in a Barn, and in about 10min I killed 30... was fun until I ran out of ammo :), but still managed to get out a live without a scratch.

Go to the Diablo 3 EU Forums, its full of happy go lucky players ...... :)

I agree with you, if anything all these player who sit in the big sitting waiting your ppl to come in and try resupply, so they can shoot them armed or un-arm should go play CoD or such games. I myself am only 3 days into this and Im loving it, I survived 4 bandit attacks today with out killing anyone and then died due to starvation because I got as far from the town as I could ran out of ammo while killing Zed for the odd can of food that didnt appear. I dont really mind the bandit to be honest, everyone need some sort of place in the world, and they chose to be dickeads :) ( not all bandits are bad, I actually got mugged the other day, that was pretty sweet lol) but I strongly disagree with those bandits that snipe in the big cities where noobs spawn, they to scare or lazy to go up north where the real bounties are. Im not against killing I almost killed a guy today, but I saw that there where 3 bandits coming down the hill and I didnt want to give myself away. I will kill for food lol,but anyways I love this game, i dont care about the bugs, crap inventory and the silly bastards that kill un-armed or hatchet/crossbow players... Just wish I had someone to play with :)

this is my 3rd day of playing and I love this mod, currently have 1 day survived under my belt and I have a map,gps and tons of food and drinks... just looging for a better gun... but traveling along the eastern side till i get better weapons then Ill assualt the western side. Besides ppl killing me at the spawn I have no complaint at all, and getting your ass capped but a Bandit is annoying but hey you the only one to blame :) I would like a friend to play with though but can find any South Africans on the forums. Died about 5 or 6 times, 2 from bandits and the rest for being an idiot, and one suicide lol. For the most part the community on the forums are actually really friendly compared to the horse shit community on the Diablo 3 EU forums.

How do you remove GPS tag on your map, I was fooling around and made a tag but dont know how to remove it. thx karlash

sigh I am a tool.... Thanks for the help :D

+1000 Think I'll hire your for any translations for Street to English, Ill pay with coke/pepsi and beans, and maybe spare tools ;)

At around 12am when the server reset I lost the ability to play on the server, Um normally run the game through six launcher but tried running it through Steam where I noticed that the servers I play on have a different patch. Im at Version: 1.62.95248 and the servers are on version 1.62.953-- cant rememebr the last 2 numbers. How to I update to the server version? when I click on the server in six launcher I get the verify and i click that and then says join, but gives an error "bad version" but Im clueless on how to update. any and all help would be appreciated Regards Karlash

1- 2 way radios / walkie talkies: so that you could communicate long range with friends or other players, also in terms of the walkie talkies batteries would need to be added so wasnt allows on. 2- detachable scopes or suppressors/silencers, which would only work on certain types of guns. Kinda like Jagged alliance/Stalker type modes. suppose there is a lighty chase of find one of these items not attacked to a gun, even if you need a tool to attack it or something, or some way to zero the scope once attached just to make it realsitic or something. 3- more customization for the player- clothing and maybe a way to show your intent ( for example a medic's badge if you want to player as a medic, ofc ppl would abuse this to get close and kill but thats human nature) not worried about what your face looks like or anything, but maybe change the random starting gear clothing wise, you may be lucky enough not to start with rags, and clothing may be use to get your body temp up or protect you sightly more from zombie attacks 4- pen/paper/note books/chalk : I know ppl have already posted about these but would be cool to leave messages and maybe if you returned to the location of the note you could actually gain a friend through this correspondence who knows. 5- more ammo types: HP and AP, not that it would make much difference to killing zombies but could save your ammo on a human, one hp run make the player bleed more, or sightly more dmg than a normal round/bullet. Apologize if some or most of these have be posted before. Any constructive replies would be appreciated ;) Regards Karlash

Hi pretty new here and was wondering what the 3DP on/off and CH on/off means. Thanks Karlash

Awesome thanks for the replies, kinda feel stupid asking... Honestly those didnt even cross my mind :) Thanks again

Hi looking to join a South African Clan or to join couple of players on SA servers. P.M me Regards Karlash

I agree with you, ppl are never happy with anything or at leats there wll alwats be a group that hates some part of a game. However bugs aside I really dont see the point at BITCHING about getting content added or removed, I have played the game for a while longer than I had in my first post and to be honest I have met more player who has left me alone than I have that have killed me. The thing is though, if you have a complaint about a game or game mechanics make a solution to your complaint, but no ppl just bitch and moan and cause raging, QQ and trolling. The flip side of that is that the player then make a solution that only benifits his own play style or a small group of players. Honestly I dont think any punishment for PK'er should be in place, but there should be some way to have an idea if a player is going to kill you or not. The other thing I dont agree that global chat should come back in, but maybe if you find a radio or walkie talkie you can communicate with other players, but that may lead to need to find batteries and all kinds of other things, could be fun though. But anyways PK'ing isnt always justified I was killed 1min after I was spawned it was another but you just move on and get over it, doesnt me I am now going to kill everyone I see, but I am more likely to kill now for items, oh and some one complained about 1 shot kills or something much earlier I love that, I hate games where you have to un load a mag or clip into a play before they die, getting shot in the head and dying is how its ment to be, or getting shot in the chest twice or what ever.

dont know if this came across wrong in my post, but the main reason why I said PvP ruin the enjoyment factor is many because of examples I gave in my post such as players who kill on sight armed/unarmed, hatchet/gun or in an none Dayz example lvl 85's in wow killing the lowbies in a lvl 30 area... Its the stupid ppl who abuse the pvp idea. yes pvp is player vs player but whats the spot in you having a AK-47 and the dude you busy slaughtering has a flash light, I honestly dont care if I get sniped from 200metres away if Im in the open and have a gun... but when ppl spawn camp, or kill lowbies who just started its silly. My opinion, I have only been killed once buy bandits and run past a few ppl shouting dont shoot dont shoot and then moved on, but there again ppl who this dont shoot/friendly thing and kill the player when there back is turned, I think mainly ppl are just upset with how unsporting the PK'ers are.. Anyways, have fun dodging bullets and zombies :)

The problem isnt the game machenics, Its the idiots that play. Every multiplayer game will have issues and at the moment it doesnt matter what game you play, you will have the rotten apple that ruin it... The Bandits that kill everyone on sight are just like WoW lvl 85's running around the lowbie area and killing all the lower tiers that cant do shit to them. I just move away for human I come into contact with because Humans in real life or a game like this cant be trusted, its what makes this game appealing... however just because someone doesnt like the deathmatch style of play that going around doesnt mean you have to leave and play CoD or L4D... the arent many games out there like this I have been looking for a Game like this for ages now and wow the choices you make in the game are similar to what you will face ina real life situation of this nature.And yes as stated by many if this was real you would have your Bandit that rob, pilage and kill but this senseless murder of any and all, unarmed or armed is just lame. side note: being told to leave this game to go play L4D or CoD is like telling a person to stop playing world of Tanks to go play Tank simulater... ppl waht to play this game, but because the hate getting capped every time the enter a town they must leave, Killing everyone is missing the point of the game as much as the ppl who say there shouldnt be PvP, If i was running low on ammo/food/water I would kill, in a game or real life (ofc not as the world is now, but in some kind of zombie world or nuclear wasteland) survival is key, how ever human contact is as important and food and water, but afterall this is a game and if you find the need to be stupid and just kill because you have everything and killing zombies is not fun well then go ahead but then expect to have ppl upset. Sorry for the long message last point thou, why is your play style more important than someone elses, if other ppl want a more pve game experience why should they be told to leave, why is it PvP player always win in games, as much as pvp DOES work in this game, pvp ruins the enjoyment facter of most games, because of ppl who dont care about oter player... but in the same breathe making this game only pve is going to be stupid, the only real solution is ppl need to learn to respect others, respect is always expected but not given

To be honest the biggest problem in any situation stuch as Zombies taking over the world, care bear or just a nuclear wasteland are the surviving humans. Human nature is one of greed and the need to be the best, sorry to say in the current world there are more "immorale" people than "morale", human nature is and well always be the biggest issue on this planet.... Watch the Road, Book of Eli and even Zombieland ( lol bad example but does have the Human Nature issue in it) So in term of this game, I find it appealing that you as a "survivers" can choose to befreind or kill any player you come across, How the problem here is thats just like in any pvp game you have the idiots you go about it wrong, spawn camping, kill all etc etc.... the thing is the OP has a point however his point goes against the game, if this was real ppl would be killing each other for a tin of food, however because its a game ppl will happily just pvp to ruin other players lives. Solution: have a means to activate a pvp toon, so pve and pvp player play the same server but if you shoot at player who wats pve and have clicked the box pve the bullet do nothing, if the box is un ticked all is fair in love and war . Its a crap solution but one that could make some ppls gaming experience "better", and still allow for a mix and a player to face the morale delima to befriend or kill.. whats sad is how you ppl just shoot down the idea with out actually thinking it over or trying to make middle ground. P.S sorry for spelling and long post
