Sup, So I stole your helicopter... after killing [PH]Matt.. and someone duping their corpse at your camp.. Just wanted to say thanks... I'll probably end up banned from the server for posting but w/e lol.

So the server didn't reboot, instead someone teleported to the helicopter with an M240 and god mode... and killed me :). aha

I would like to think trolling in the game by taking someone's stuff.. is much better than trolling on the forum. haha. bet the server reboots in the next 3 minutes.. lmfao.

What's up guys, Yes I am currently bandit skinned, but it was in self defense~ lol.. come to think of it, it's deserved actually, since I did kill a group of 3 for not answering me when I asked them if they were friendly, I needed some soda/water... no answer so I killed all 3, and took what I needed. anyway.. that's besides the point. the reason I am here is I'm looking for a couple people to roll with, as well as a server to call home, I would prefer if it had 15+ people during daytime hours (on the server - regardless of when that might actually be for me, I play a lot). Who I'm looking for; - Players who have good map awareness; and can make good use of the terrain. - Do NOT kill unarmed players; or people with enfields unless they are a threat. - Players who get enjoyment out of counter sniping those pesky ghillie snipers on Dobbry/Cherno hills. - Players who first try to make contact with someone before killing them (unless they're carrying high grade weaponry, which would benefit yourself). Who I'm not looking for; - Elektro/Cherno Hill Snipers/Griefers - Ragers - People who alt-F4 in the face of danger, or when a teammate goes down. What I'm looking for server wise. - Active 15+ players @ Daytime hours - Active Admins - Clan owned is cool too if you have a TS3 server setup for the server - I would prefer the main hive on version 1.7.2.6 Anyone who's interested, can leave a post here or if you have a group of 2-3 people looking for one more I may be interested in meeting up with you guys. If you own a server, which fits the above criteria feel free to also leave a post, much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

What's up all, So I think now that 1.7.2.6 is released, and the tents/vehicles now save properly, we might start seeing more action in the north, as the current tents (Everyone knows about, the ones that reset all loot inside on each server restart) from 1.7.2.5 ~ start to get emptied and saved, provided all those servers update to the current dayz version.. these tents/camps will slowly start to dissapear, I mean I know people will still be able to spawn in items, but I don't think 90% of the players spawn their own items, I think like 10% of players have hacks/cheats and can spawn items, so we'll slowly see a lot of the AS50 TWS, and other hacked guns slowly dissapearing. as people die with them and they no longer just respawn back in the tents at which they were obtained from. Personally, this opens up a lot more of the game again, at least over time I think it will.. and I've grown pretty tired of roaming the hills around Elektro/Cherno & all other coastal cities, killing snipers, who are killing new spawns they disconnect after dying to come back 15 mins later, fully geared again, as the tents slowly get cleaned up of duplicated items or at least have had their ability of respawning all items on server restart removed, people will actually need to go north, to loot places like NWAF/Stary Sobor, and this means we might get to see some more pvp in these area's that before duping, were always a place you could go to have a little fun. granted not all duping is fixed, but a major part of it is. and for those players who enjoy roaming the wilderness looking for player camps looting/destroying them, that brings a whole new level of satisfaction back to the game, now that when we destroy or loot these camps, the people who made them, will now know about it, as their items won't just return the next time the server reboots. [not related to 1.7.2.6] -- As for the hackers/cheaters whatever you want to call them, I know from experience in many online games, this is something that takes a long time to get rid of, and you will probably never be able to get rid of it 100%, I know a lot of the issues can't be fixed without changing the arma 2 engine, and this is why you're working on the standalone, a lot of the script abusing that allows the cheaters to teleport everyone into a bus or something is part of the arma 2 engine being easily modded (legitimately by players who develop missions and such). once that ability is removed, hopefully in the standalone, the cheaters will really only be able to use the same kind of cheats 90% of us deal with in other online FPS type games, such as wallhacks &/or aimbots, and at least then, these players will still be forced to somewhat play the game, they can't just come into the server, and press a button, kill everyone on the server at one time.. So, on that note, I would just like to say thank you to Rocket and the rest of the Dev team, for this great mod, and keep up the good work, most of the community appreciates it.

Personally, I spend a lot of time in NWAF/Stary Sobor... and hardly ever see a soul, even on servers with populations of 30+... cause they're all deathmatching in cherno/elektro anyways.. not that this gives reason to kill fresh spawns ( i don't kill anyone unarmed), even players carrying enfields are pretty safe unless they look at me for too long, or fire first lol.

I just like how everyone assumes the person they just killed teleported behind them for some revenge.. considering we can't tell who has killed us...

Why didn't you just answer me, when I asked if you were friendly.. I really only needed some water I wouldn't had killed you. now I have 3 murders over a cantine.. :( - P.S. I had just finished killing 2 bandits on Dobrry, so that humanity gain.. was kind of a waste..

Personally, the first camp I ever found when I first started playing this game, I had the biggest adrenaline rush, and probably felt the most fear I have ever felt playing a video game (due to the possibility of the camp owners being around), I looted these tents, I got my friends to come and help empty this camp, we saved all the tents empty. we thought we were gonna make someone really upset/angry the next time they logged in, this was before we knew that the tents were just going to respawn all the shit inside.. so we're all happy we go back to playing.. the next day a friend dies, he says.. hey I'm gonna go back to that camp we found yesterday and just see if the people who own it came back... he gets there 10 minutes later.. over skype I hear.. "Holy shit, everything is back...", suddenly we didn't feel so good about it anymore, at least that's going to change, with this patch, at least I think it should. What's to say that the tents don't save on their own every so often, without the save option being selected? just like your character saves location to the hive every so often? Also, your idea about degrading tents, is actually really cool, and would be a neat feature of the game.. IMO.

I still play regardless of anything that is going on, I'm not too worried about bugs, as when I downloaded this mod, I knew it was an alpha, and expected there to be bugs.. that's why it is in alpha, so I can deal with these. but I would like to see some of the hacks dealt with, I mean I played CS for seven years, beta to 1.6 as well as source(competitively) and it had it's share of hackers.. but the hacks in this game (referring to DayZ) are much more detrimental, when a player can teleport you from where ever you are, into a vehicle or under a bus.. or w/e that shit really sucks, I could deal with the occasional aimbot/wallhack, the usual hacks you see in most online FPS type games, at least these require the hacker to find you first and actually play a little bit, with an advantage.. but this mod, on the arma 2 engine at least for now allows way to many other things to happen.. if they want to make you do push ups and drop grenades on yourself, they can do that... I also understand that dealing with hackers is very hard, because you might manage to detect "x hack" but, with all the people in the cheating community a new method of doing it is out a few days later... and as far as I'm concerned, if a game is online, and enough people play it, you will never stop hackers.. EVER.. but I'm pretty sure it would be possible to at least block the commands issued to your client to stop these things, if not in a patch, it would definately be possible in the standalone. and as I said before, people using aimbots/wallhacks in other games like CS or Quake, CoD/BF3... they hurt the game, but at least they can't join in a server, press a button and instantly kill everyone online, they're forced to play somewhat, just with an advantage...

M4A1 CCO SD + M24.. sidearm doesn't really matter, could be a flashlight for all I care aha. :)

northwest (put your back to the water, and turn a little left..) and I have a question for you lol.. do you watch League of Legends streamers? (more specifically Dyrus)

Thanks for the equipment, much appreciated. and that V3S full of more equipment, oh btw.. here's what's left of your truck.. P.S. I used your AS50 and nato rounds, to blow it up. :)

Well that was fun while it lasted, aha. 25 players, then 30 players... guess what happened next.. I was teleported from near stary, to cherno.. under a bus, and killed haha.

Strange because I got in before that reboot, and I'm using the 96493/95 beta patch.. as far as I know they're all backwards compatible, at least the beta patches. the problem is there's just too many servers, any time the population goes over 25 it seems to be a hacker magnet, then someone comes in and server wide kills everyone.. however this has only happened to me twice since I've started playing.. I've died to an invisible guy once too, heard him talking infront of me, then saw the smoke from the barrel of the SAW he shot me with. (I was in the 000,120 area west of kemenka basically no reason for anyone to go out there.. and too much playing on servers with 10-15 people, makes encounters less often, especially in the north (it feels this way anyways) sometimes its bad enough to where you feel like there's no one even in the game or you forget to be vigilant.

Their names were, (Plague)Toshiro & (Plague)Tommy ~ I just don't believe how much gear was in that truck, there was 9 military grade weapons, M16A2 M203 (with 203 HE rounds)/M4A3/M4A1 CCO/SD... 3 NVGs.. a rangefinder... MP5A6/A6SD. so much stuff aha. I took an NVG, Rangefinder, and AS50(to blow the truck up). burried the AS50 on their corpse, took my M24 back lol.. it's a shame though, as all that stuff will likely be back on the truck, and the truck will be wherever they found it last, in the next 2-3 mins when the server reboots. lol. but it still got my adrenaline going aha.

It doesn't even really matter to be honest, it's hard to put stuff in a tent without duping it, if it even saves at all, the problem is the gear that does save, respawns in the tents every restart.. there's been many times I've tried to place a tent, to store things for myself, come back and find my tent empty, or just not there at all.

Sup guys, serious question... After getting a couple kills from dobrry do you server hop? only trying to get a general consensus, as I get killed from dobrry as a new spawn, pick up the first gun I can find and go look for the sniper, by then he's gone.. I even talk shit all the way up over voice comms in direct chat lol :P. I know its fully possible that he has changed locations, though its unlikely, as there isn't many other easy sniping spots around, and you can't really get that far inside of 2-3 minutes.

I have to agree with you, the first couple of kills I got were on people who had killed one of my friends, and man it felt good, but after those 2 kills I have yet to kill another survivor, there is definitely emotion and sometimes fear/adrenaline felt when you're being shot at, and just randomly running looking for any cover you can find, to give you the time to locate the shooter, then when you do find him, he just logs out... there's also a lot of fun in overwatching towns, seeing someone get taken down by some zombies, then running in there with an M4A1 CCO SD, and saving the guy.. when he probably expects you to just kill him. lol.

I'm on day 14 myself, and I hang out mostly in hight traffic areas, you don't need to live in the woods to survive you just need to be vigilant(I'm not saying I go running through the middle of cherno/elektro - I don't lol), I have something like 290 zombie kills, 2 murders, 1 bandit kill atm, both murders, though are from killing snipers on dobrry, who apparently hadn't killed anyone recently, as they would had counted as bandit kills lol.. and I'm at about 4300 humanity, since I saved someone yesterday in komarovo from some zeds, he got attacked and stuck in one of the very narrow doorway brown buildings, to have his leg broken, and get knocked out by a zed, killed the 6 zombies mauling him, then I hear over the mic, you can go ahead and kill me, he was surprised when I proceeded to bandage/epi/morphine him, and guard him until a friend of mine showed up from cherno with some blood bags.. it was probably the most fun I have had in dayz, since starting.. and I was quite surprised that he did not try to kill me afterwards.. lol. Congrats on the 20th day though, it's hard to achieve if you're playing on a server with 15 or more people quite often. :D

Hoarding vehicles/having camps appeals to some people, it wouldn't appeal to a server hopper, all they care about is killing people.. but for some players who play exclusively on one server, having the vehicles/camps (even if they don't save) is a blessing, as you need to be able to move around the map, if you're just server hopping at NWAF for loot, you don't need to move.. you just get the gear, ALT+F4 a loading screen a couple of times, respawn on the coast, and go DM in cherno/elektro... I've played 14 days on my current character, and play exclusively on one server.. killing people is fun for me, but so is attempting to stay alive as long as possible.. There is fun to be had, in following players around, and taking them out at the least expected moments, or knocking them unconscious bandaging them up and leaving them there on the ground, to do it again as soon as they stand up lol..

Maybe posting some plans you have for said group would be a good idea, I may be interested, if you could pm me some details, or post the details here, I'm 27.. if you plan on just running 3-4 man "Team Deathmatch" elektro/cherno, I'm not interested.. lmk, I'm on my 14th day of survival.. pretty well geared. I have access to an offroad pickup, ATV and UAZ on a 1.7.2.4 server as well, that haven't reset on me yet.. and its been quite a while since I've obtained them.. however I do most playing on 1.7.2.5

So true man, a good weapon doesn't make a good player, however this has already been proven, by walking up behind dobrry, then seeing the guy that you can walk up behind with a hatchet as a fresh spawn, and take all their shit.. but you know they just have a tent on another server, full of it, so they'll be back 10 minutes later, I haven't really ran into this many fire fights, as you describe above, I think that would of been a lot of fun, and your friend certainly did deserve the loot.. for sure. I think the closest, I've been to a fire fight, is having someone fire at me, I run & prone behind a tree, locate the shooter, only to watch them log off, after I tell them over the mic I have vision of them, they should had hit that first shot, instead they rush it miss, and they would likely end up dying, but nope ALT+F4ggot. they live to do the same thing again.. :(

Aka they want you to give up locations of camps, of which you have found yourself. xD.
