Recommended Posts

Was in the barracks checking for loot and bam the guy poofs in and sprays all his clips with his M4.

Welcome to DayZ.

Seriously now, server hopping will be fixed eventually (hopefully), so just hang on. Stuff like that doesn't really happen all that much.

You didnt hear the crazy loud reloading sound that plays when someone logs in? you gotta learn to listen for that shit~

Damn man. Get to Elektro and I'll help you kit up. Let me know where you are and be out in the open.

I can gear up pretty fast but I've been searching forever to find a long range scope for Mosin. If you have an extra one that'd be great. Otherwise, my search continues. It's funny because when I did not want it, I saw those instead of the BUIS scope. Now the BUIS is so common and I can't find a freaking long range xD

 

btw anyone having connection problems today? the servers are pretty laggy and messed up for me. Anyone else the same?

That doesnt actually always help. Friend and me ran around NE AF the other day, were just looting the prison next to the rc tower and the server restarted. Since we remembered which server we were on, we jumped back in mere 30sec after it had restarted when suddenly, as we logged in, 3 other guys(who havent been there before) were just looting the place. xD

 

Most awkward situation Ive had in the alpha so far. But yeah, survived - both of us did. And all 3 of the hoppers died that day. Was a good day. Worst part is, we spawned in next to one of them and he just didnt care about the reload until it was too late for him. Dunno what the fuck he was doing all that time. But I guess these guys will listen for reloads from now on. ^^

True there are glitchs/bugs that cause sounds not to play just the other day at NWAF me and my buddy were looting it up when I heared someone shooting outside with a M4, but he heard no shots. needless to say that guy came around the corner and got lit up to my friends surprise. but Ive had pretty decent luck with the logging in sound and thus getting the jump on server hoppers :)

There is a bug where you hear reloading clip sound of magnum. It scares the **** out of me all the time. It's different from the spawning in one. Anyone have that?

if you hear the reload in the barracks...

If you're in the front side: get out ASAP. Don't camp the door, the player might have spawned outside, just get a good view of the whole building. then camp it... 1 or two shots should scare it away. 

If you're deep inside: get inside a room (crouch, move slow), close the door. Wait for the curious bastard and let him carry some of of your bullets (shoot him) :D

Make a friend. Take the risk. Having a guy looking down the barracks corridor while you loot is nice. If you hear the reload, tell your friend, lock yourself inside a room, let your friend take out the trash.

when you enter the barracks... leave the front door open if you're with a friend (closed if not). Close every door after loot each room. So, when you hide in a room and wait, the trail won't lead to you

yeah happened to us as well today at NWAF, we were chilling near RC tower for some time and we were sure no-one was around at the time of server restart or 10minutes or so before, we joined back immediately after restart and few guys was there already happy spraying us ... btw that sound of crazy loud reloading sound that plays when someone logs in helps sometimes but some ppl logs in pretty fast

got this today in the hospital in barenzino I went looking for the guy for like 5 minutes until accepting that it was just a phantom sound and my character must have gone insane by now.

It doesnt have to be server hopping though, I was timed out cause of server restart and decided to log in later. When I did log in I did it in front of a scared little bambi with a axe

Well they better not fix the server hopping with no loot respawning. Otherwise the game would be retarded
