ENDGAME: what keeps you entertained?

[Jay Shack 28]

so me and my goup of mates are pretty much at the end game stage (great loot, vehicles, tent city etc) and im wondering what everyone else does at this stage to keep them entertained..

Its frustrating because i cant go to Stary, NWAF, Berezino, Balota and a handful of other locations due to the artefacts, i cant find players up north to fight because im always avoiding full servers due to hackers, and going south to troll noobs disinterests me..

So what do you do?

[Newsflash 6]

Eat beans.

Kill.

Yah the games pretty much on a standstill until the next patch. When it comes up start a good ol rivalry.

[Dancing.Russian.Man 1631]

Dupe, trade, hunt for hackers (It's possible as long as you're not spawned into air.), camp Cherno/Elektro/Stary Sobor, form ambushes around random roads, etc.

You will find plenty of people up north on mid pop servers. If you're really itching for a fight at NWAF, join low pop servers of around 10-12. I know it's not always the case, but I find that on 50 man servers, if I run into anyone at NWAF, it's only one or two people. If I join low pop servers though, more often than not half the server is at NWAF.

Personally, I want to one day ride an ATV off Pike Kovlova. That's just one personal little end game idea for me. You could start looking to infiltrate and engage other clans/groups, get some rivalries going. You could make it your mission to protect the noobs of the coast, handing out low-mid level gear while killing all those pesky little bandit snipers off the hills and buildings of Cherno and Elektro. Get creative. It's true there's not anywhere near as much endgame content as their could be, but we won't see most of it until stand alone. That being said, there's plenty of things you can do with all that fancy gear and all those vehicles you have. The key is to use your imagination and, most importantly, not just horde it.

Find another group to play against on your server. Or play on non-hive servers and do wtf ever u want if ur bored.

Lately I've been trawling the NWAF and Stary.

Unfortunately I've only seen 2-3 people there in the 15 or so times I've been in those areas over the last 2 weeks.

I don't know wether it's because of the artifacting some people are having or what but I'd sure love to see more people around those areas, I'm needing some PVP!

We have been trying to get helicopters up and running lately but people keep crashing them and hackers keep owning us zzz

[Ashnik 113]

I go around just collecting everything I can. Using my epic pedal bike, I roam around finding tents, looting them. Then I finish of the tents with a satchel charge.

I'm also trying to reach 1000 zombie kills on my new character, was very close before a hacker killed me at NWAF along with my friends.

[Disgraced 1123]

Sweeping the northern forests and fields.

I found a fly able helicopter the other day. That helped me find some vehicles and a large camp.

I found three vehicles full of hacked vehicles, blew them up with grenades from on board, then almost got shot and ran off. Unfortunately, server restarted.

I'm now comfortably watching someone's camp from 500 meters, through a scope....

Yep artefacts. NWAF is ok but stary and berezino are an absolute mess

You found a vehicle that was full of..... other vehicles? I would stand in line to see that.

Use your imagination.

Shooting people and finding cars.

It's probably artifacting. You want PvP now, go to the main cities, it's crawling with assholes.

Lately I've been bored as well. A buddy and I found someone on the forum who needed a transfusion and figured what the hell, lets make a run down to Balota and fix him up, maybe give him some gear. In itself it was no big deal but the events that happened after that in Cherno were a blast (we ultimately ended up dead) but the point was that the medic run took us out of our normal routine up north and we had a great time afterwards in a place we would never have been otherwise.

If you are bored and you think you might have it in you to not shoot a wounded player in the face the moment you see him, maybe help someone out. God knows, there are only so many new things to try at this point in the game, might as well try them all. On the surface, playing a medic role sounds pretty dull, but it's that fact that you may find yourself far from your usual shit that could add some spice to your game.

killing noobs with an as50 in kamenka

[HeHeHe 38]

I kill fresh spawns.

Mess with them first, if possible.

[Kalle^ 11]

Well I found L85AWS but fuck it... 30 first zombies down and take my tractor and jump from ramp into wall.. Get bugged into air 10 feet above from ground... That shit is fun! Of course it was in non hive.. I would never risk my gear in regular life :)

[sonicrainbrony 136]

I am currently hiding in a bush (with a ghillie and a silenced M4) in Kamenka, when someone passes by, I shoot their legs and drag them into the woods. Their bodies will never be found.

[GodOfGrain 191]

Hmm.... we have medics, we a chopper service (yeah, that's us: CSS)

You could open a taxi service on the ground.

Or you could offer a mercanary service.

I am actually thinking about hiring a very professional mercanary service from time to time for CSS.

Sometimes we have fishy customers :)

Or you could think of some kind of mega-organization which would allow you to cover an extensive tent-city 24/7.

(Not atm yea... hacker / ghoster).

Head-hunter service? Try to lure a target person into a (deadly) trade and get well paid for selling your soul?

Or specialize in vacations. Find the most scenic places on the map and drive your customers there

to chill out for an hour. Supply moutain dew, beef and a fireside.Some music over direct chat.

Perhaps some entertainment programm as well :D

E.g. allow them to try out different weapon on an unarmed target (teammates of yours) who is trying to dodge their shots.

I am getting more and more diabolic so I should stop writing here now :D

I'm thinking about opening an irish pub in cherno. Plenty of properties available, also we can sell food/drinks and have some nice live irish music. Problem would be beer but i always can pass some good morphine under the counter.

I'd probably need a couple of bouncers if anyone is interested.
