Hello all, been playing Day-Z for about a month and a half now and pretty much got everything down pat, I'm at the North West airfield with M4A3 CCO, Coyote backpack and some very decent loot including a fuel tank part. I'd really like a clan to join, clan doesn't have to be the best or L33t or anything but active with quite a few members and a camp if possible would be preferable. I'm 15, got a microphone, I have TeamSpeak 3 and I've been playing ArmA2 for a while now. And yes, mature.

Please answer truthfully, I felt the need to make a poll in order to see people's mindsets atm. Yes, I know the poll isn't perfect. Some people are hardasses and say: "Oh, I would kill everyone" Think long and hard about your answer. I honestly would be between 1 and 2. Please don't say that people would become zombies or any retard answer, just SAY what kind of person you would be if a zombie apocalypse occured. 1. Friendly Survivor: Person who happily protects his family in times of need, only loots when he has to, and does not shoot at other humans, unless they are threatened. 2.Woodsman: Friendly survivor who would live in the woods, eat game and make his shelter in the wilderness. Normally friendly to survivors passing through. 3. Scavenger: Still a friendly survivor, but is less likely to have family/friends, and loots every place he can find. Likely to be friendly during an encounter. 4. Lonewolf/Neutral survivor: Person who will stealth it, and decide not to go with others. Neutral in encounters, will avoid others. 5. Highway robber: A person who would steal your belongings, but somewhat unlikely to kill you. 6. Looter/rioter: The person who would pick up a Molotov cocktail and begin looting every single store in sight after getting word of an apocalypse. 7. Bandit: Hostile survivor, very likely to kill if he needs supplies. Possible of grouping up with others. 8. Beanbandit: Person who would kill you for the stuff on your back. 9. Asshole: Person who would kill for fun, and rape women. Poll numbers: 1.5,1.5,2,2.5,3,3,3.5,4,4,4.5,9.

No asshole answers yet?

No... just no, what the hell did I read?

So we all miss the Makarov (who thought we would?). And lately the game is a tad difficult for newcomers, here is a list I put together, complete with items that could be added in to make life easier. This would not make the game noob friendly or anti-game, just help get newbies the hell off the coast. New characters spawn with:- A Makarov with no ammo. This means that they'd have to find some. A can of beans, and a water bottle. This would make traveling a bit easier. Two bandages like in the old days. Currently zombies can give you an arterial bleed with a single bitch slap. A pack of painkillers. Obviously. One shot of morphine. Some players are coming in from CoD/L4D and think they can jump from the top of a building and survive... in ArmA 2, jumping from the rafter in a barn on to the stairs can break your legs and bleed you out. This would prevent, or make less likely, hospital bandits, camping hospitals to kill newbs trying to get morphine or other things. A compass. To help people find North. Believe me, once I went south to Balota instead of north to Stary Sobor. A Coyote Patrol Pack, to carry more items. Thanks for reading, this should help all those joining the game.

No backpacks, no nothing?

Not really, all it would take is one glance at the announcements page/forums/changelog to see this. Currently the chance of finding an actual gun is low except in barns, ammo is plentiful though.

OH, and try side strafing while crouched with a pistol, sounds like you have eight legs.

OH please get over it. Just grab a Lee Enfield form a barn. You don't need to take on every zombie in a city.

Hello, been playing Day-Z for a bit and lately quite a few of my friends haven't been logging in.... we've been doing pretty well, Coltan (a member of my previous clan) and I would get vehicles like the camoed Military Offroader, and we had five or so tents, a weapons tent with random weapons, ammo for them, hospital tent, parts tent, generic loot tent etc. Well, if anybody was willing to make an offer, I'd really like to join a clan or team, or whatever you may call yourself for this mod. I have a mic, TS3, and I've been playing Day-Z for more than a month. Currently I'm in the north (won't say where just yet) with a Winny, plenty of bandages, food to keep me going for a while (donated my revolver to my buddie's tent) a Czech backpack, and other random tidbits. Just one catch, and I know what people are gonna say: I'm 15. So if you don't mind a young member, thanks.

Sure, course I don't mind any cussing. Just want a gun to hangout with, a guy who knows what he's doing. Thanks.

You're just asking to get killed, and you never even mentioned which server.

Sure, if you guys don't quite mind a 15 year old. I'm up north with plenty of awesome stuff, if you guys could pick me up that'd help. (I'm really up north.) And yes, I'm in Florida, I got a mic and TS3.

Oh, please. Sure it is't realistic but it scares me badly while I'm in a city. Maybe not in the wilderness, but I think in cities it's ok. Oh,and the random zombie moans need to go.

"Walker" type zombies will sprint like fucking KENYANS if they detect you. No stupid QTE events like other games. Hoppers, the monkey like ones, will pickup the pace and crawlers will haul ass.

Because the first one got removed when the kid hacked the website.

Not bad.

Search function is your friend, google it next time. 15 minutes SOMETIMES (they can dissapear earlier)

Zeds attacking in hordes at night? Nah too cliche, and would make lone survival impossible.

So you're saying that we should make it impossible for bandits to raid towns? I hate bandits myself, but this is the most idiotic idea ever.... can't tell if trolling or 9 years old.

Just now in ATL14 a hacker threw everyone in the air and we died before we even hit the ground. Literally, EVERYONE died. Just two minutes after server restart I believe, everyone lost the session. That's great, because I lost a pair of binos, a crossbow with three bolts, wood pile, 2 water bottles, 2 painkillers, 2 morphine injectors, 5 different cans of food and 6 cans of pepsi, 2 raw meat, an ALICE back pack, M1911 with 5 mags plus one in the gun, 5 bandages, a G17 with 2 mags plus one in the gun, hatchet, box of matches, hunting knife, one clip of STANAG 30 rnd, and that's about it. If a moderator or staff member could give my character my stuff back the name is "SuperComputer" without the quotations. Thank you, very much. Seriously, how the heck does this happen?

Not by bandits, but by hackers. Just now in ATL14 a hacker threw everyone in the air and we died before we even hit the ground. Literally, EVERYONE died.

If a moderator or staff member could give my character my stuff back the name is "SuperComputer" without the quotations. Please, it took me about two days' worth play time (not two days, but as in two days worth of time) to get this stuff, and I was going north to meet my friends. Thank you. Seriously, how the heck does this happen?

Inventory is more than 10 spaces, ALICE is 20. You accusing me of lying?
