That's why I switched over to FrankieOnPCin1080p and JackFrags. I love their playstyles, where they try to help out even the most obviously hostile players

This definately helps a lot. Thanks so much, you two definately have my beans!

Thanks, this helps a lot. People keep mentioning the NW airfield as an ideal spot, which is also what I was thinking. Problem is, I have the tendancy to avoid the airfield specifically at all costs. I do like Guardian's idea of travelling within a self-specified area.

Was wondering which route you guys use to go up north. Mine is Elektro,Moglievka, Novy, Stary, Kabanino, Vyshone, Airfield. Does anyone else take a different route? Note: this is when I spawn, gear up, and head for the airfield and Stary, I don't have a specific route after that

That clears things up a lot for me. I had always assumed deer stands were for hiding in to hunt animals. Thanks!

Love the system, but I would need to be able to change the default textures and colors of it. Not that the texture/color is bad, it's just that it isn't really my style. Never really liked the whole "metal borders around a stone/wood textured background", although I do know a lot of people who love that. I would love for this to be the inventory system, but with a set of themes for the background and borders. My ideal color would be a green version of the current one, but that's just my preference EDIT: The guy above kind of summed up what I was saying about the color scheme. It's a great system, but feels more like an RPG type game. The texture is really nice, though, just a bit unfitting.

Nope, but it would be pretty damn cool to be able to travel between maps

"putting a weapon away" can be done in a few different ways. a common way to show that you are friendly is to salute (default: \) Also, sitting down and surrendering can help depending on the situation (I forget the keybinds, which isn't good of me) you can also double tap left CTRL to lower your primary firearm, or you can simply drop the weapon or put it in your backpack if it fits

Everyone tends to have this dilemma while starting out. Nobody wants to be a complete dick, but everyone else just panics and shoots on sight. The way I found to get around it is to get to some sort of concealed vantage point and scout out the area first. If you see someone from afar, approach them from behind and stalk them at a distance for a bit. Once they are in a vulnerable position (looting or looking at their inventory, for example) tell them, in the most calm voice possible, to stay exactly where they are and not to turn around. If they turn around, you SHOULD kill them immediately. If they are smart enough to listen to you, tell them to put their weapon down and back away slowly. Make sure you inform them that, as long as they do as you say, they will get to keep their loot. The key is in the tone of your voice. If you sound the least bit panicky or shaky, they are going to try to take advantage of it. Make it sound like you know exactly what you are doing and that you aren't someone to fuck with. In DayZ, always make someone afraid of you before doing them a favor, because if try to do it the other way around, people are always going to take advantage of your generosity.

So I heard stories a while back about this radio message. Apparently, if you have a radio in your inventory and are nearby Green Mountain, you will occasionally hear a message consisting of Morse code and some coordinates. Well, I just killed a sniper on the Elektro hill (because he was shooting down at noobs), and he had a radio on him. Can anyone confirm if the radio thing is true, and if it's worth checking out green mountain?

Wow, dude. That sucks really massive cock. The last time I got the debug plains, it was caused by camo clothing and I got out of it by simply restarting the game. I assume you've already tried this though. I have heard of some people being able to kill themselves by pressing pause and hitting the respawn button as quick as they possibly can. Multiple people have told me that it works and that they've done it, but I haven't had any success with the method. (Not sure if it works and I'm just a massive retard or if the other people have been wrong). If you do get your character working again, I would suggest never using camo clothing ever again until the standalone is released. Other than that, I got nothing. But, If it's any consolation, I feel really, really bad for you. Were you at least in a private hive server?

So I've been playing the ARMA II campaign, and I'm on the 4th mission (Manhattan) In this mission, you get a bunch of transport vehicles at your disposal, including a LAV-25 and an AAV. Pretty much, the mission objective is to go around the northeast side of Chernarus and find these terrorist camps. Then you roll in with your big scary tanks and fuck bishes up. for those of you who don't know, the LAV is the one that resembles a light tank with a smaller cannon and it rolls around on 8 wheels. The AAV is a big steel box on treads with a little turret on top. Both of these are heavily armored, can knock down trees with ease, and can carry a large amount of people So I thought that it could be a pretty good addition to the game, but only if it was insanely hard to repair and always spawned completely broken. to fully repair a LAV, you would need: 2 Engine Parts 30 Scrap metal 8 Wheels 3 fuel tank parts 30 Jerry cans It would also only spawn at one location, and it would not be a garunteed spawn To fully repair an AAV, you would need: 4 engine parts 50 Scrap metal 2 treads (new item, would be as rare as engines) 12 Wheels 1 Fuel tank parts 40 Jerry cans same as above, one spawn, not garunteed Also, Both vehicles would be Amphibious In terms of ammo, the explosive ammo would be found as barracks loot, take up 3 spaces, and be as rare as a DMR The machine gun ammo would just be M240 mags Attached are pictures of a LAV and an AAV

Maybe there could be Anti Tank mines, IEDs, and more launchers, such as an M47 or a FGM-148 Javelin

Right, it would give a use to the stupid M136. That sonovabitch has been the only barracks specific weapon I've ever found. And I've found it 4 times. Also, I see it as a good way to taxi players without the vulnerabliity of a bus or the skill needed to fly a helicopter. Plus, it's not a bad endgame vehicle

This is a good idea, but there has to be a way to disarm them. Also, it kind of reminds me of an idea I had a while back, maybe as a sequel to DayZ, which would be a WWII version of the game. in which you were in Nazi Germany ("blah blah blah CoD rip off hurr durr") and bouncing betties would be a possible loot spawn

A cold-blooded reptile? In Russia? I like the idea but it wouldn't work for Chernarus. I think that it would be a good idea if Lingor Island was implemented. It would have to take a while to develop. Once the bugs are all fixed, then snakes could be pretty interesting

Well, I jumped a V3s once. My friend had a helicopter to the gas station in solnichny, and I had just finished repairing the V3S, so I rode it full speed, got about 3 seconds of air, landed next to the chopper, and yelled "WHAT'S UP BITCHES"

Find noobs on the coast and give them gear or a ride

Well I just recently found a fuckload of new guns, so right now M4A1 CCO SD Mark 48 Mod 0 or M240B My buddy usually takes an AS50 and an M16A4 ACOG As for a sidearm, I never take anything other than an M1911

Not sure if you got my message, but I don't need the ride any more. When I logged in I got teleported to the debug plains. I relogged and spawned in Kamenka with nothing, not even a backpack. No worries, though. I managed to meet up with a friend and am doing pretty well tl;dr my game glitched but I'm fine now I would like to be able to contact you more quickly though, in case of a future emergency. I wasn't able to find you on steam when I searched the name given. My steam name is intelligenttrees, can you please add me? thanks

So me and two friends are in the northeast side of chernarus, and I'm talking wayy the fuck northeast, as in our Y-coordinate was something ridiculous like 17. Then, while running, my character literally fucking trips and breaks his legs. My friend fixes me up with morphine, and, thinking it was just another glitch, we keep going. All of a sudden, one of my friends goes "Holy shit there's 5 guys over there and they all have dogs" Then, a rabbit starts jumping on him yelling "I'm friendly, don't gut me". Me and my other friend are trying to figure out what the fuck is going on, when we hear another guy yell "bark bark bark bark bark bark I'm a dog bark bark bark bark bark". Then, a fucking dog runs up to us and starts running around us. One of my friends panicked and shot, and we immediately got a rain of gunfire in return. The friend who shot was killed instantly, losing his SVD, an FN FAL, a rangefinder, GPS, NVGs, and most importantly, a Makarov. My other friend alt+F4ed, and I took something to the knee (it wasn't a goddamn arrow), I'm not sure whether it was a bullet or the dog because everyone I saw had an AS50, which should have instantly killed me. Anyway, I'm currently bleeding on the floor passed out with broken legs in the middle of nowhere on the most remote spot on chernarus. TL;DR version: I tripped and got attacked by dogs The reason I made this thread is not to bitch about the hacking, however, because I found it kind of funny, and I'm glad the hacker had some sort of class rather than just teleporting me to Kamenka and killing me. No, the reason I made this thread is because, as you may have noticed, dogs aren't in the game yet! So how the fuck is the hacker able to turn into a dog? And does this confirm that dogs are in the game code and will be added?

THIS I honestly don't give a fuck about dying, because my body will usually be there, and I got friends who can help me out. but When its by an abusive admin or a hacker, it just puts me in a shit mood
