Kevin you son of a bitch. Spawned in Cherno, walked around for a while, found a coyote backpack straight away lucky me. Heard shooting, and I didn't have any gun so I walked towards the shooting. Saw some guy there standing up, I walked up to him without any gun, and saluted, and started talking to him in direct, he looks at me for around 30seconds and then just starts firing at me. So I ran, and then he killed me.

Spawned in Cherno again, this time I found a shotgun straight away, found the guy who killed me, he had killed another person. He was running away from me, but then I stopped chasing him and he started chasing me. So I legged it to the grocery store, got some more ammo, and a revolver. Found the guy who killed me running from zombies, so I shot him three times and he died.

**** you Kevin, don't kill unarmed people.

PS. He didn't even take my coyote backpack. He just left it there and kept his patrol pack. I got my coyote backpack back.

It wasn't me btw Lots of Kevins about.

I broke my wrist on Monday, so I'm entering Dayz withdrawal. I had just picked up an M16 with lovely ACOG sights, and a DMR too. AGGGHHH!

Now i have this giant flag pole sticking out of my back though. Must pay extra attention to any silhouetting, You'd swear I joined signals.

hahaha brilliant.


On a side note, whats the acceptable time after running from a firefight to DC? I was in the NW airfield a few nights ago and had just cleared from the south all the way up to the firestation. As I was leaving the final hanger I got hit with a round. Not knowing where the shot came from I bandaged up and crawled away. Stopping every couple of minutes to cover my back and see if I could spot anyone. Made it out past the fence into the forest and logged out after another few minutes watching the exits. Maybe 15-20 minutes after first shot fired, with no sign of the other player at all and me moving out of range.

Does the Boards server keep dropping off for anyone else today, or is it just me?

Bugger. Just killed in the woods near Zelenogorsk again.
I'd heard shots, and went towards the barn there to try help if someone was shooting Zs, and ended up getting shot at while running through the woods. Called out friendly, but they kept shooting, and I died. Starting to wish there was a single player or closed network version of this so you could try the zombie survival thing on your own or with friends without having to worry about being ambushed by other survivors/bandits.

I've just left so might be one available if it's not already gone!

I'd leave it as long as you can as from experience people are very paranoid and knee jerk about dis connectors at the moment so at least the logs will cover your ass if someone ever falsely accuses you.

Anything other than instant, but again we cant see what happened and our bannings are based on players opinion. We generally dont give the Dcer an appeals process.

Btw must sort out MOTD to repeat that.

Haha, oh man that building in Elektro was a death trap.

One of the lads link me to that earlier. There has to be some sort of copyright issue here.

sounds good, 250 player maps sound too good to be true, I smell Eve Online here, with Zombies, eg Safe areas allow PVP, but sentries willl turn on the offenders and also they will get a bad rep..

Eve Online model all over.. but we wait and see.

DayZ is a mod, I doubt they have any copyright on it. And it looks like this has been in development longer than DayZ.
My opinion, if they can keep the same immersion as DayZ and add more features and make it less glitchy, then I'll gladly hop aboard.

I don't believe them. Where's the alpha gameplay footage? It looks like they just modified some screencaps from one of their current games. They're also all about nickle&diming people with 'gold coins', something Rocket has said from the start he is completely against.

MMO zombie survival clearly isn't a new idea, but to me, these guys are ripping off every idea, and concept straight from Dayz. I've never even heard of their other games till now, so I doubt they can deliver.

This 'shoot first, ask later' attitude in the game is really pissing me off. I had a guy with a hatchet run up to me while I was unarmed and just assumed he wanted to team up or something, so I waited for him and then he starts hacking away and I'm dead in a second. WTF is the point in that. There was absolutely nothing to loot and it's fairly clear I wasn't a threat in the slightest.

I don't mind the shoot first.. But It can be a bit disheartening when you just spawn and have an axe kamikaze come after you all right.

I've tried to be friendly to be people today all day, two guys didn't shoot at me in total of about 10 people. However I ended up shooting the two guys, as the only reason they didn't shoot at me was because they had hatchets and I just couldn't trust them. I couldn't turn my back on them without the fear that they would hatchet me to death.

Yeah that was me, you were going for the big guns in the military camp near Balota, So was I. I am always being killed in that area, I didn't want to risk you getting your hands on a weapon and blowing me away.

It sounds good, I read the whole IGN article but until I play it I'm not deciding which is better.

I agree, low level players with nothing are people Ill never shoot. I had someone outright try to kill me for about 5minutes straight yesterday, I could see them panicking and desperately trying to find me, armed with nothing but a backpack and a bandage. They had a rifle and an alice pack so I assume they were well equipped.
Despite me talking to them over the mic and chat repeatedly saying "friendly, and Im unnarmed" etc they tried their hardest to kill me.

However, if I see somebody very well equipped and Im similarly equipped its game on

Lol, War Z in development.
I have game ideas I've been developing for years in my head. I get the feeling that a few months ago one of the guys said;
"Hey, how about, like, a zombie game that you play with like 100 other people?"
"Could work, make a note of it."
/Development started.

DayZ hits, hard so they make some models, pose them and dump them into a level.
