Riemer 23 Posted May 19, 2012 I really, really hate to be a downer on this, but I can see bandits from all over coming to Norway 1 in hopes of ruining this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simasz 15 Posted May 19, 2012 Nice :) Good example of player initiative to make the game different on their own :) Will definitely check it out at some point Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 19, 2012 To stem the tide of naysayers, WE ARE AWARE OF THE VARIOUS ISSUES THAT MIGHT ARISE, SO PLEASE DON'T SPAM THE THREAD WITH YOUR OBVIOUS OBSERVATIONS.Hopefully cross-server spawns, and even characters, will be removed eventually as they completely destroy players' ability to create emergent gameplay like this. It's what's made the mod appealing to many, and it's what would increase it's popularity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lulu! 3 Posted May 19, 2012 Hmm.. Won't that be hard to enforce with zombies and PKers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JinxX 11 Posted May 19, 2012 Good job, I'm sure having some scouts on the hill sides keeping an eye out for the usual sniper posts will keep any bandits from trying anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 19, 2012 There are just a few zombies within the free zone and PKers are just something we'll have to deal with. Consider this a test of sorts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt.Spam 42 Posted May 19, 2012 I'll be curious to see how long this lasts.How many players can one M67 take out? It has a five meter kill radius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunkhan 8 Posted May 20, 2012 So what news from this project? Any luck? My experience so far has been that the bandit threat is somewhat exaggerated. For a start bandits are unable to work together, and also very paranoid about dying. In a properly patrolled zone individual bandits are more of a resource than a threat.

Tartantyco 1 Posted May 20, 2012 We just established it today, Duncan, and it's the middle of the night over here so not much has happened yet. We hope to gradually get this stuff online throughout next week, but we will start our initial patrolling tomorrow.It will be fun to see if we're invaded by bandits tomorrow :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjordan24@hotmail.com 14 Posted May 20, 2012 Hurr Durr Ima block off stary and novy to any survivors.Best of luck with your little fantasy, I expect a chopper raid soonish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shizukage (DayZ) 17 Posted May 20, 2012 While I find the idea of a free zone nice, the fact that you claim the army base as well as 2 towns as your "exclusive zone" is not a good idea in my eyes. That army base is the resource of a lot of great loot, not to mention ammo and there is no way you will be able to enforce the Exclusive zone with only 5 people, considering on Norway 1 I have seen groups of 8+ people raiding the NW Airfield together.I fear that if you enforce the exclusive zone, it will only lead to conflict and the whole project will go down the drain as players who want to have access to that army base will eliminate you to get to it.But good luck! Perhaps I will perhaps visit the freezone, but do not support your idea of the Exclusive zone and will not follow it. So get ready for some possible firefights when my group wants to go into the army base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 20, 2012 The reason why we have an exclusive zone is because the militia will actually have to be equipped and fed in order to operate properly. Therefore we need control over certain areas. We keep an area safe, but it doesn't come for free.And the militia does not consist solely of the people mentioned in the post, those are just founding members.

StrayWolf 1 Posted May 20, 2012 This is wanna be crap in a game that doesn't guarantee anything. 'Militias'....LOL.

Knock yourselves out fellas.Im gonna join Norway 1 and end this charade with my buddiesIf I can get on that high ping server, I just might add some bullets to the fray.

Reedtheman 1 Posted May 20, 2012 THIS IS EXCLUSIVE ZONE....Hope you can hold down the fort. Even with a 10+man group defending you prob have the whole server gunning you down. But ill show up possible if it means i can get some SD ammo of any type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonryan32@gmail.com 2 Posted May 20, 2012 In exchange for exclusive access to two valuable areas you'll attempt to keep an area of crap safe for survivors?You're nothing more then organized bandits with a friendly face.Best of luck with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 20, 2012 The objective is not to keep a loot area safe for people, the objective is keep an area safe for people to interact. We couldn't keep a zombie spawn area safe for people... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tebbutt1 0 Posted May 20, 2012 Tartan have you consider joining up with another group, if so G.o.C will oblige I can offer you admin to the group and more men to defend the safe zone. what yah think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 20, 2012 We are very interested in that proposal tebbutt. We are in talks with other groups, as well, who will assist us with manpower if we drop our claim on Stary and Novy Sobor.PM me with details. We can meet up on TS or something to discuss further.

weissenwulf 0 Posted May 20, 2012 Well, good thing you posted a map!Now I know where to find some easy kills. Can you also please post the times you guys are most active? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertEagle (DayZ) 2 Posted May 20, 2012 Don`t understand why do you need Novy Sobor. It hasn`t any good loot to enlarge protected area, while you are a small group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tartantyco 1 Posted May 20, 2012 It's got a church that spawns some very useful loot at times, but we're in talks with several groups who would like to join if we drop our claim on Stary and Novy Sobor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
