    Gunning down gearless survivors ain't exactly a feat.

    Admittedly a more difficult acomplishment than killing boards clanners though...:rolleyes:

    Gearless? hmmm i see a rifle on someone, and all i have is a lee enfeild and some food.

    18 kills.
    with barely anything against groups of guys with other lee enfields and shotguns and ak's.
    yeah, wasnt exactly as good as a feat as staying north of the game terrifyied might lose some stuff LOL.

    I don't think so.

    I think it lowers your temp to a point of a cold and spreads the infection around to people that are near you.

    I offed myself for the consideration of others before, which led to confusion on who I was and another was shot in the liver LOL good times

    So how does I join a faction, this lone wolf thing isn't going so great for me at the min? I've learned the hard way that humans are way more dangerous than the zombies. What happened to live and let live :(

    Make some friends, add my steam godsmack_014, i play on the boards server with a small group of friends, you can tag along too if you want :)

    We only hunt people and their stuff really. If that's what you'r into, then we can take ya on-board. Just PM me your skype, Just be prepared to lose awesome stuff to some random dude with a makarov xD


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    I'm sorry but doesn't adding friends outside of the game to form clans completely fly in the face of everything that makes the game brilliant?

    Rediculous imho.

    It kind of does. There's a "if you're not in voice-chat you're dead" thing which has a strong influence on play mechanics. The boards server is incredibly hostile.

    Very very sad. For anyone that is in this Boards clan...what's the point in it? It turns an incredible game into a mediocre game. Bullying everyone else, killing zombies with ease.

    Dreadfully boring.

    That's funny. I only hunt for people's stuff. Watch your tents and stashes! :D

    It's great that most of ye are preoccupied killing each other. :p

    I'm in the boards clan, it's far from boring, it's a fraught affair. There's an anti-boards clan too.

    The problem for me is that it seems to be all shoot-on-sight, and I like trying my luck with strangers. That's pointless on the boards server now, and I believe the bandit levels are way above average.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    Being part of a larger team has much to offer, you can share supplies, vehicles and stuff. Cover each other.
    Perform large scale raids.
    Stuff you can't do without a team.

    But.

    You can still pay solo if you want. No one is forcing you to take part in any raids, they are fun as hell, even if everything goes wrong.

    You can go do your own thing, I do. The only difference is you can call if you see someone. Confirm they are not on Mumble and take the shot, or not... I've dodged more people than I've shot by a nice margin.

    I think having a team opens a lot of doors and closes none.

    That's why there's an anti-boards clan! To stop the mindless hoarding and server free roam. A bit of a contradiction, but necessary all the same. I welcome anyone to play with us, or even shoot us in the back, we've even hunted other anti-boards members for the laugh. It's a game of infinite possibility - but not if there are dictators out there :)

    IDK, If bandits wern't intended, and grouping up wasn't allowed, I`m pretty sure they would have fixed it by now.

    It would also be a single player.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    Yeah, the whole idea of bandit groups sounds awesome to me ! I mean.... IRL... if there was ever a zombie Apocalypse, im sure there would be groups of bandits who survive by pwning the noobs.

    Unfortunately a lot of people prefer playing with friends.
    While it can be fun,being able to trust them,call on them for help and taking out a much larger group, the downside is you can't play on your own....wait,but you can!:eek:


    Seriously though, there's max 8 on at a time,rare it goes above that,so that means there's 32 other players that we do not know.

    I'm one of the shoot on sight guys unless I'm feeling in a particularly good mood. My thinking is its a zombie apocalypse game called Dayz,not CareBearZ

    Well they took out side chat to try and stop people grouping up. Not sure what else they can do.

    When I first started playing, I ran into my first group of about 5-6 people at the airstrip that gave me an mp5 and food etc, I assumed this was the norm and I went on my merry way. About 30 mins later I ran into someone else and assumed he'd just run past me in the same manner - Nope, insta-killed and my mp5 nicked. Shrugged it off re-spawned picked up another wep, got killed by another person. Kill or be killed - no exceptions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭_vti


    They took out side chat because of people using it for long range chat.

    Rocket wants to introduce some sort of radio system in the future, I was reading some sort of lootable baby monitor/ham radio setup.

    I think Genghiz answered you perfectly. My opinion is that this game is about survival, you've a better chance of that in a group yet you can still play solo if you wish. Not sure where you are getting this "bullying" idea from (bandit's and shoot on sight were around long before a bunch of boards folk decided to play together) and "killing zombies with ease" isn't accurate, you just have a better chance against them when there's more than one of you.
    I know I like to venture out solo and most times will avoid killing other players unless they take a shot at me first - quite recently I watched two guys inspecting a small town and let them go on their merry way when it would have been very easy to pick them off.

    Sure look at the anti-boards gang/group/clan - they sound like a bunch of kiddies wanting to play the game like a COD deathmatch - they're perfectly entitled to do so, who gives a fcuk about them or how they play or how others play the game. As long as you're not cheating or hacking then all's fair.

    Lol at the mindless hoarding comment from Lacoona. :rolleyes:

    It's funny I can see how dictators work now, you don't actually have to have full control you just need people to think you do.

    As Andrew76 says the noobs seem to approaching this as a team deathmatch in COD, the boards clan actually killed feck all people in the past and we even joined up people we met along the way in the past, however the recent visitors are trying to make into a team deathmatch keeping scores etc so everyone is shooting on site now. I'd imagine Rocket will bring back bandit skins and maybe some incentive to keeping your murders down.

    The whole idea of the game is survival and death and you have to embrace both.
