I'm looking for a partner or group that plays on west coast servers (US) I'm a hardcore gamer that got into day z a few weeks ago. I've been a loner since I started playing and would really like to play with some cool, trustworthy people - I hate looking over my shoulder every 5 sec because I'm alone. I'm well geared. I like to have fun and laugh when I don't need supplies I'm 24 and live in the bay area, ca I usually play between 12pm-4am PST I prefer to use skype but will also use mumble/vent/ts 18+ only, 21+ preferred I really only want to play on west coast servers, I am OCD about having a low ping (however if the group suits me well I will consider central US servers) contact me: skype - evobytedesign steam - son_aofu hope to talk to some cool people soon

I got this game about a week ago, and it's been a blast... other than being teleported into the ocean from hackers (this is the 2nd time) The first time I was lucky and the hackers teleported everyone back on land (and proceeded to shoot everyone - but I got away) This time when I was teleported into the ocean I immediately alt+f4 thinking it would protect my last saved position. I was terrified of losing my m24 and mp5 sd which I was so proud of (bite me, I'm new lol) Well, it didn't. I tried logging in to 10 different servers and I was still in the ocean in all of them (19000m from land so swimming wasn't an option). I was dreading the several hour wait to starve my character because I had just eaten a bunch of cooked meat prior to this incident. Then I remembered something! When I first started playing this game I was confused about the long loading times, and one time I pushed esc while connecting to the server. It brings up the normal "abort" menu but when you push it while the game is loading the respawn button is available. I accidentally pushed this once and it killed my character and I was upset (I was a noob and didn't know that it killed you) So I thought I could try this. I logged into a random server and pushed esc while it was loading, clicked respawn and it said it killed me. I logged back in and it did nothing - I was still in the ocean. Ugh... out of desperation I tried again, hit esc, respawn, reconnect... but this time when I reconnected I spawned in the debug wilderness with absolutely no gear (no items at all in inventory). I was thinking "oh god, what's this?". I aborted and reconnected again to the same server - but this time I spawned near otmel with ALL OF MY GEAR! I was overwhelmed with joy! I apologize if hitting escape while loading and pushing the enabled respawn button is considered abuse or an exploit... but I am only trying to combat hackers here This method definitely worked for me :) got out of the ocean with all my gear!

Can someone explain to me what these tags on servers mean? 3DP? CH? also what's the different between reg/veteran/expert? if anyone could point me to where this is explained or answer for me, it would be greatly appreciated

not really, but I'd probably give them a pistol with 1 bullet left in the mag and I was just teleported 19000m into the ocean... so lost my gear :(

I'm looking for a partner or group to play with that plays on west coast servers (US) I'm a hardcore gamer that recently got into day z. I'm fairly new to the game but I am definitely not a noob. I've been a loner since I started playing and would really like to play with some cool, trustworthy people - I hate looking over my shoulder every 5 sec because I'm alone. I've got decent gear - M24 sniper, MP5 SD (low on mags) I like to take games fairly seriously, but NEVER to the detriment of fun (why play if it isn't fun?) I'm 24 and live in the bay area, ca I usually play from around 1pm-4am PST I prefer to use skype but will also use mumble/vent/ts 18+ only, 21+ preferred I really only want to play on west coast servers, I am OCD about having a low ping (however if the group suits me well I will consider central US servers) I am open to all playstyles (bandit or friendly) but I am against ganking ungeared people contact me: skype - evobytedesign steam - son_aofu aim - [email protected] hope to talk to some cool people soon :)
