Given that my character is not in great shape and it's night time, I would probably freeze/catch a cold trying to swim it. Furthermore, I don't feel like dropping my hard earned stuff in the water.

Buro, do you happen to play another particular online game where your user name shows up in a conspicuous red color? Perhaps accompanied by a gorilla icon?

He's having the courtesy to warn the rest of us traders about someone to avoid, stop trying to sound tough.

Then explain to me why half the servers have 10 vehicles camped on the side/top of the map, doing nothing but collect dust? OP is 100% correct.

Epic literacy fail.

Same thing will happen once a hacker figures out your location. Inb4 nuked.

No one uses the search function, so that won't really do anything.

I like running around Elektro in my ghille suit with my night vision and AS50 waiting for snipers to get excited and shoot at me, then AltF4 just to piss them off. Serves you right for trying to snipe noobs for no reason.

Log out of the game and back in again. The name of the town will appear in the lower right.

Age 25 How long have you been playing? A few weeks What is your reaction when you see other survivors, not knowing if they are friendly or bandits? Hide and observe. Running out and yelling FRIENDLY will just get me shot since I'm in a ghillie suit. On the other hand, I don't like shooting people for no reason, so I usually stay hidden til they are gone. If I have just spawned, of course, I just walk up to anybody and say hi. It really depends on how geared I am; if I have a sniper rifle or LMG then most survivors will be scared of me. What is your first instinct when you see another survivor? Hide. In my experience, most players are out to kill me. Situation 1: You and a fellow survivor you have just met are searching a barn, you find the only can of food in the building and your fellow survivor is down the red on on his meter. You are at orange and the next local town is a few km's away. What do you do? Give it to whoever starts blinking first, which will most likely be him. Situation 2: You are down to two clips of your 1911, your fellow survivor has a revolver and is currently out of ammo. Knowing you can convert the ammo of your 1911 to a revolver .45 clip, do you give that survivor your last mag or do you keep it for yourself? Tell him to switch to his hatchet. He shouldn't be firing a gun unless we're hunting animals. If he doesn't have one, I'd switch to the hatchet myself and give him the ammo. Hatchet = instant kill on zombies and completely silent. Running around with pistols and drawing attention to ourselves would be really dumb. Note that if we are in Cherno, Electro, or Stary Sobor, I would give him one clip in case we are attacked.

The problem with this idea is that it only takes one ****tard to sneak in with a satchel charge saying "FRIENDLY FREINDLY" and detonate in the middle of the camp to kill all of you and wreck your camp. With the high percentage of complete dirtbags playing this game, it won't take long before someone comes by to crap on your day just for the fun of it.

I was recently rescued by a forum medic out in the wilderness north of berezino. As gratitude to those who risk their lives saving others and hoping not to be shot in the face immediately afterwards, I offer my services: a volunteer hired gun to help you reach your patients in one piece. More importantly, I will ensure you STAY in one piece after you have delivered your services. If your patient is in a big city, near a hotzone such as Stary Sobor, or just on a crowded server in general, (no fun playing on 1/40 servers) then let me know. I do require proof of your membership in TMW, WM, or some other medic group before I will come.

Someone just attempted this with 'friendly city' or something like that near cherno. I would suggest getting some elevation to make it harder to snipe you. Klen hill is a great spot for such a thing (114.039).

Not at all, just saying you don't exactly sound like a mobile hospital either. I've seen your group in action before and since I play solo 80% of the time, I keep my distance. Last thing I need is to be branded a 'bandit' and shot due to having a sniper rifle and ghillie suit.

It was legit for a while, but apparently there was some shooting in the camp and now the owner has abandoned it (which is what happens to all these camps sooner or later). If you hear about camps like this, go to them quickly and get what assistance you can, then get out before the bandits arrive. And believe me, they come fast.

WM = Whitelisted Medics. Somehow a name like 'Militia' doesn't strike me as a medical clan.

How exactly do you adjust this setting? I can't see bushes until I'm right on top them.

Interested, but you need to add the following info to your original post: Location of server (US EU UK?) Type of server (Noobtags disabled? What about 3rd person?) Times you play

Skalisty Island is also really easy to snipe, and sniping douches will camp the water to kill people on the boats. You should consider an area that cannot be fired into so easily, such as Klen Hill (114.039). At any rate, OP, what were you expecting? Of course idiots will come to ruin it, you need to have a full group of volunteer guards up before you try something like this.

The only 'trollers' I've seen in this thread so far have been CoRe members.

Unfortunately, I don't really have much of value to trade right now other than an M16, unless you'd like some basics like my map or something. Can anyone help me out? I'm near berezino.

You can only find more silenced rounds in deer stands and military spawns. Stary Sobor and the Northwest Airfield have them in bulk, but you will likely take a .50 to the head trying to get into either of those places on a populated server. Stick to dear stands, or visit smaller military complexes like the tents in Berezino or the northeast airfield. As for matches, supermarkets really are your best bet. I find matches in them about 20% of the time. You can also find matches in any residential spawn, which are all over the map, but your chances are much lower. As for other players: 1. If I'm playing solo and I've just started out, I am friendly, trying to get close and establish contact for temporary teaming up. I am also friendly if I've been alive for a while, but all my goods are stashed in my bus. 2. If I'm playing solo but I am well geared, I avoid other players entirely. They will likely kill me for my loot, especially my night vision and my sniper rifle. If I see an injured survivor, or someone being chased by zombies, I will assist them from a distance and ask if they need help. If they have a gun, I demand that they drop it before I will give a blood transfusion or morphine. If they refuse to drop the gun, I kill them and move on. 3. If I'm playing with my group, we are friendly down south but kill on sight up north. Can't take any chances, since folks up there are usually both experienced and hostile. After you have played for a while, you'll develop your own system of how to handle other survivors. And once you establish your protocols, you will break them over and over as other players test your patience with rampant D-baggery and/or surprise you with kindness. :)

So.... you're making an accusation and refusing to provide proof. Fair enough. But then you're turning around and saying that people should not believe everything they are told, i.e. look for proof and do research. Do you think at ALL before you post? Glad to see there are such mature gaming communities out there.

Clan wars never get old. Join a group, pick a fight with another one, and preferably try to steal their vehicles. Way more intense and entertaining than shooting fresh spawns, and you might actually get some viewers instead of being mocked. P.S. Remove the medic thing from your sig if you're sniping noobs.

Lame.
