Metal barrels can spawn as fires at night in most cities. and sometimes along roads. They are not super common so GRATS!

If you look up, clouds ALWAYS move east. So if you face the direction the clouds are going and turn 90 degrees to the right you will be facing south, then run to the coast, find a city and loot. then ??? then profit!

Sounds like the annual "Burning Island" Festival. Its where a bunch of artists get together and... Wait. No that doesn't exist. Yeah probably hackers. Id log out before you are teleported there.

Go to the top of a flight of stairs and run full speed down them. Now do it with a 30 pound pack on your back, a rifle in your hand and zombies all around you... Just saying... Some of the time its a bug, other times its realistic. THIS IS ALPHA - CALM DOWN AND DONT FORGET TO BE AWESOME

Fully stocked including some antibiotics. If you are near Lektro and need some patchin up, I can help (for the time being anyways) Don't post your server in here. just locale and severity of injuries. I have a vent server we can use if a voice will help you trust me.

When I get home I will put a wheel on the atv I got and go fetch you some parts. (assuming you wont be done fixing it by then.) Ill PM you the server and locale of the ATV in case you wanna try and get on that this morning.

I 100% sympathize with your point but try to think about a REAL WORLD situation like this. you and a friend have hatchets and and a makarov. a dude rolls up on you with a ghillie, an AS50, meat, meds, all the tools and says "Wanna be friends?" He is a walking treasure chest. In a real world survival scenario killing that guy and taking his treasure trove would prove more valuable to you and your friends survival. I am not supporting banditry, I am merely saying that THIS is reality. If you are geared. get out of the city, meet some real friends (or become a medic and friends become abundant) and enjoy it. You will get killed by bandits. You will get axed by coastal cuties You will glitch off some stairs and die. These things are part of DayZ. Don't get attached to your gear, Don't get attached to your locale. Just Survive. And don't hate people who choose to survive in a more ruthless manner than you. This is DayZ - This is your story!

I answered YES to all BUT BUT BUT. it SHOULD NOT give you weapons. That bugs me. Perhaps you spawn with a map. OR you spawn with a morphine and an extra can of beans. Perhaps an extra two slots in your inventory. BUT NO GAME CHANGERS LIKE WEAPONS OR CAMO As far as clothing... Something subtle, perhaps a helmet or different hat or access to a few more skins than other peeps but not like a ghillie or something.

log in and out and in as fast as possible on different servers. It SHOULD spawn you as you are on a beach somewhere. Good luck!

So last night I had a bunch of supplies to donate to the TMW guys for a payment for the help they gave me the day before... A couple of them logged into the dead server I was on and as I met up with Paradox, we found a working heli!!! Well that turned into an evening of fun, looting and watching a crazy man who PREFERS a hacthet to any other weapon... He took on 10 zombies at once with a hatchet and won! Anyhow, another good time in game with those dudes makes me happy. Sarg, Paradox, Awesome-O thanks. Ill be looting for you again today. If you need help with any runs or wanna send me to help someone, I should be lurking in your TeamSpeak tl;dr being a medic > being a bandit

I would love to, however I am at work. If Paradox is on he should be able to get to you, assuming his parking job on the heli wasn't "permanent" lol. I also have a near, oporational ATV that I am going to try and finish today.

THIS IS NOT A "PROBLEM" THIS IS INTENDED - ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN They added this "feature" to discourage server-jumping assassins, combat loggers and server hopping farmers. Basically if you log in and out too soon (10 minutes) you will be spawned at the coast. The only two times this sucks is A) when you get frozen at "LOADING..." or if you are DC'd moments after logging in. Basically if you are in game and log out, you will need to wait ten minutes to log back in. Thats it, pretty simple. I know it can be annoying but it is not the end of the world.

Paradox scored a new Heli last night (but it may need some work due to a parking job gone awry. Has some good loot in it too. Talk to him to find out the details.

in a recent interview Rocket said "We have not even scratched the surface on loot in dayz" This is ALPHA testing. Technically this game doesn't even exist yet, lol. Give it time, I imagine there will be more possibilities for loot than can currently be imagined.

No, when it happens (more than 3 minutes or so) your game is frozen. BUT. IF you wait 11 minutes you will wait out the timer that sends you to the beach. 1. See LOADING... 2. Force close dayz 3. Wait 11 minutes 4. Log back in This SHOULD work. (it has worked for me) Good luck

Also make sure your Battle Eye client is up to date, they update that thing like every 72 hours. Read up on all the options it has for specific scripts and actions to take... Its good stuff. You can set it to auto-ban anyone who uses a script. Its a bit harsh but it would probably get the job done.

I had the problem yesterday. If it wasnt just private servers it was all EU servers with 250+ pings.... After restarting the game a couple times I got it fixed. Also just waiting it out works too. Hit refresh a couple times. I hear that DAYZ COMMANDER doesn't have that issue but I don't know how to get or install it... :-/ Hope I healed a bit.

This. This is the worst way to die!

Thanks to Paradox, Sarge & Awesome-0 for the funtimes gearing up the new heli (that Paradox fail-parked!!!) that we can hopefully salvage. Im down to do it all again today and will be lurking in TMW TS today starting at 1pm (GMT-8) (Pacifc Daylight Time) If anyone needs anything, im looking to get white listed so hit me up in their teamspeak. Gave up my L85 (thermal rifle) last night to Paradox (*flexes dedication muscles*)

Im in Your TS... If u want me to, I can run towards your locale.

Askar, if you all respawn in or near Lektro, I have some things I can donate, including an L85 (lots of med supplies too)

Cant get a reply from TurkeyBacon (he is the one that asked) But I raided a hospital and got everything. Epi pens, morphine, blood, antibiotics... I want to donate it to Trusted Medics... Anyone near Lektro want to take it all off my hands? EP: x5 Mor: x5 Anti: x1 Blood: x2

Yesterday I was saved by Bernd and his crew. Without giving all the details of their oporation away, I was broken legged in Stary, they swooped in like the angels they are, fixed me up all new and then proceeded to escort me to safety and provide me with an oportunity to get some amazing gear, which I did. I wish I could give more than beans on these forums, but in lieu of that, I am going to make some raids on all three hospitals and donate to the cause. I want to become a Medic now. Before yesterday I had a few murders under my belt and was on my way to becoming a bandit, Bernd and his crew of bad asses showed me the light. From now on, consider me Scrump the Redeemed! If you need help I can do! tl;dr Bernd and his crew make this game better than Rocket even intended. Just wanted to say thanks again... Made me love this game even more. I want to help the cause. I can set up some tents and fill with meds - anything you need? I can provide server info in a PM

You're a trusted Medic, Turkey, im happy to do it. I THINK I have a couple epi-pens. I will make a run into one of the hospitals on a dead server and see what I can dig up for you. Ill PM you tent locale and server once the job is done.

I see messages that your TS server is down. I have a fully functional and vacant Ventrillo server (its mine) that I can provide info for if you guys need a backup server?!? PM me if indeed its needed. Edit for: Server is 40 man.
