I never got sick drinking till now. I guess it will be implemented later and then you need to use those pills.

:huh:

Since my first days in DayZ I hated Server hopping and ghosting, be it for looting reasons or even worse to get in someones back while PVPing so my normal approach is to KoS them as soon as I spot one logging in. Gladly DayZ SA offers now a second option... And there my story starts. Since I spawned a few days back I got myself fully equiped apart from an ACOC for my M4 so was hopeing to get one earlier today in the new tents at NWAF, I approached them carefully from the northeast corner with several breaks to see if anyone is already there, all was quiet, 22 people on the server. I started checking the 1st sandbagbunker outside the wall, nothing of use, 2nd bunker inside the wall the same as just when I was about to leave the bunker I hear the reload sound behind me, turn around and a Server Hopper loggs in, right in the corner of that bunker. Now I hope my plan goes well and I shot him in the leg, it brakes, goooood :D . I immidiatly yell over direct comms: "Sorry, sorry you just scared me to death, I will help you and heal, you just give me a second." I waited 5 to 10 seconds then Mr Hopper anwsers: "Ok, no problem, I´m just glad you didnt killed me." I got him and he didnt logged out, hurray. Then he told me that he was unconcious and I jumped up and down on my computer chair :D :D I asked him how long and he told me "looks like it will be for ages" and we agreed that I go and look for a saline bag ( which was already in my Backpack ) to get him back on the feet but 1st I bandaged him to secure his trust in me. While I searched the surrounding tents ( atleast thats what he thought I was doing ) we had some small talk over direct chat and he told me that this was his 4th server today he was jumping to. I came back to check the area from that bunker I told him and we talked some more while I started phase 2 of my cunning plan, put all his stuff out of his backpack in one that was laying beside him and got that away on my next run for the 2nd tent row on my search for saline :D So there he was, with his face in the grass, no gear left, no meds, no food, probably half dead and a still broken leg, poor him :( Time to confront him with with the reality! While I got my saline out that I "just found" I told him that I will handcuff him for my own security, he accepted after a short arguement and the offer by me to end him right now if he will not obey. The saline goes into his venes and there he is, awake and back on his knees, telling me that all is still greyish and that he is shakeing. So time to start phase 3 of my plan. Without any further notice I started forcefeeding him 3 pieces of rotten fruits I found earlier in his backpack. I guess he didnt know that you shouldnt eat them as he was not moaning and I coudnt hold on myself an started laughing over comms like a maniac and told him what an dumpass he is for server hopping and getting himself in such a situation. I wished him a slow painful death from the rotten fruits and went away with lots of name calling comming from him over comms that got lower and lower... Have a nice day fellow Server Hopper, I hope we meet again...

The thing is, that with this model you will not motivate anyone who has already shit in his pants to leave the coast as you can easily survive with a can-opener, hatchet and an Enfield or whatever lowend Gun the coast line will spawn in future. If lootspawns would decrease because of player density ( because that would make sense ) then coast line huggers had a motivation to venture up north and stop playing CoD on the shore.

While the concept is nice, it would just be one more reason for the majority to never leave the coast line.

Currently loot spawns only happen when the server restart.

How about:

Sorry... but I think I found your problem...

Yesterday I was running circles around a dude and yelled "Pudding" over direct comms all the time.... he Alt/F4 on me :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=i6m6bpxkjP4#t=8

Yes, thats what the map offers :facepalm: , click on a dot and see the lootspawn % for different items in the seperate window

I used the toilet in this house and didnt flush :P

Sorry OP, I think your thread was put up with good intentions buts sadly the route you offer will teach new DayZ players only: - you must gear up close to the coast - you will die atleast 70% of the time trying to gear up near to the coast - that the coast line is full of jerks with axes going beserk - there is nothing to explore up north - you can`t survive going up north without being full geared up You should motivade people leaving the coast line right after theey spawn, then we have less whine posts from new players.

Since I spawned near Balota ( which I avoided ) a few days ago I was wandering around gearing up and visited Polana which is now a decent City to loot compared from the "old" Polana in the mod. Polana Factory is still the same so I went over to Berenzino, got a few more bits and pieces but was still without Gun apart from my Hachet. Found an Monsin early after spawn but never any ammo for it so I dropped it on my way. After Berenzino I went to the Ship at Rify which got me an M4, fresh clothing and more food so I was good to go further up north to check out the new City Guba, by the amount of already modeled streets with no houses I guess it will grow in future to a decent city. It already has decent loot but there is room for more... after a short visit at the NEAF which got me more ammo I went back further north to check out the surroundings of that new street going from Guba all the way west, same picture here as in Guba, lots of streets and places already modeled but rarely any buildings. When I was north of the NWAF I turned south to visit the new Military tents in the hope to get me an ACOC scope but no luck but was able to change my orange large pack for a green and some more prestine fresh clothings/boots. Will check tomorrow again for an ACOC and the go further west and then north again. Anyone else checked out the northern map border ( north of NWAF ) yet ?

Hopefully, never liked the coast madness in the mod even if every player encounter in the north normally ends with the dead of him or yourself but atleast you know what you up against. Not like the Balota/Cherno/Elektro madness were 50% think they are fully equipped when they have an axe to go beserk for 5min and then die and rins and repeat :facepalm:

Well I play on a busy server, dont do server hopping and was unfortunate to spawn when everything was already picked up by others. My 1st few tries I even ended up dieing from starvation because everything was already looted :(

New Balota is the n00b Bandits wet dream.

As long as OR supports only 720p I will not get it, thats early 90s

I would run for my life if I would came across you in that dress.

On top of that, the character should spawn with only 25% health and a broken leg when they log in next time.

Or I`m stuck with the name I see in the lower right corner ? If not please tell me how I can change it.

k. tnx :beans:

Just one rule: - let the others of your squad die 1st... :D

I wonder allways why people in a Zombie Apoc through away their watches.. they are allover... :(
