Yeah that was good crack, I was the other hatchet man. Though I just got the AK74 as you left. Ended up for north in Dolina but the other guy got a broken leg and we just managed to crawl out of the city after a big fire fight. I went looking for morphine but to no avail. He logged out and hopes someone can save him tomorrow Nice change with no one trying to kill one another, except for that madman who tried to take on the 5 of us at Rog.

I was truly surprised that you guys didn't shoot me immediately when I came running up the hill with about five or six zombies chasing me! I was literally bracing myself for a hail of bullets as I came across the crest of the hill, lol.

I should be on around 8-11pm tomorrow night, if you guys are thinking of logging onto the server. I'll see if I can catch up with you's from there.

Sounds cool, but whats the boards mumble?

The Mumble was set up to allow Boards members to talk to eachother in DayZ without having to use the in-games Comms. It's even more important now since they got rid of the side channel.

Here's some info on how to set it up. It should be easy enough, and there's usually some other Boardsies on there as well.

Anyway to tell if a server is day or night from the server listing? Like what timezone it's using?

I didn't insult him, I was trying to be friendly, he insulted me and then shot me in the head.

oh, wow. What an asshat.

I wish the bandit skin was back. Because now I take zero chances with other survivors. At least with the bandit skin you had some idea of who you were dealing with, and random alliances would form as a result.

Now, shoot on sight.

Ok so I've made a small bit of progress tonight.

Carefully made my way into what looks like an industrial site on the edge of Elektro and found and AK47 on the lower level and a PDM (sp?) in the tower and some barb wire fencing. However after I got up there a Z somehow made his way into the stairwell and was right below me.

There were ALOT of zombies in the area so I didn't want to risk shooting so I logged out. Big difference from last night running around like a headless chicken dying every 5 minutes, I really don't want to loose the only bit of progress I've made ha!

Starting to get a feel for the game now and enjoying it.

Watch out for snipers on the NE hill overlooking that area. You should really scout those hills before you enter the firestation, just to be safe.

Why is everyone on the boards server so hostile? I just met 4 guys on the road to Pavlovo, one guy with a northside dub accent kept telling me to get down on the ground so I did, I've gave them my ammo I had found in deer stands, I had no guns, I was trying to be friendly and he just shot me in the head, called me stupid f*cking dickhead first though. What a prick.

hey man, that was me that shot you on the road.
there was 3 of us. and i deffinately did not call you a dickhead. i may have said motherf--ker at the end, but that was just for the moment, not an insulting way. and i meant no insult at all with what happened.


now with that out of the way,
youve just given me the greatest laugh in a while, i didnt expect to see this on here.
the 2 others with me were new at the game, and i showed them the deer stand, and on the way down met you. and just had to see if you would do as i say, in order to not get shot.
it was merely a laugh, i had one either way.
i thought you might also,
i couldnt believe you got down on the ground when told aswell.
although we did slightly regret shooting you.
I will say fair play to you though, the fact that you played along was great!

this is a cracking game, just got it at the weekend.

Here a good one, i thought i'd try and play on the Boards server, I asssumed it would be friendly. Pah!.. i have been executed many times for my Can 'o' Coke.

the strangest thing did happen the other day though, i was set upon by a Zed on the 2nd floor of a building, coastal city, i immediately went into the Gear screen to prepared a bandage and and make my getaway,but to my exalted surprise, the Zed was bashing away at me but i took no damage. Astounded i decided to leave the Gear screen open and see what happened.

about 4-5 minutes later the Zed just disappeared or walked off, the last I saw of it was in the next room behind a wall bashing at me. I Survived!

Anyway Ive taken it as a Divine Intervention, I haven't died since (2 days) but that may be to do with the reason I haven't been in any town...

The game is really genuinely scaring the wits out of me. I could never play Resident Evil on my own, this is even better and I find myself sucked in to the Horror and suspense and the hopes that one day I might actually get some good gear and go a hunting little Z's

Dude gets cornered.
Stripped of weapons.
Taken to an airfield and used as bait.

The best thing about zombie mod DayZ is that, because there's not much to do in the thing, people are left to their own devices. Some like to roam solo. Some like to team up and stay alive.

Others like to gang up and kidnap people.

Aussie writer Adam Ruch was minding his own business earlier today in the game when five guys cornered him, pointed weapons at him and took him hostage. What follows is...bizarre, as he leaves breadcrumbs of information for the world of his "ordeal" as he's made the gang's "slave", pressed into service as zombie bait.

You can read the whole thing below.

Strangest thing about that is the chap's willingness to be a slave, weird mentality. Go out all guns blazing or run for it.

Should have run for it when he was scoping out the airfield for them. Would be deadly fun having 6 people chasing you around the Dayz map...

Come to think of it...

How about a server event. Manhunt. One lad runs off and is given a 3 minute headstart. then everyone else hunts him down...

Just give the person food and drinks and starting items. Nothing else.

If Hunted can kill the Hunters or evade for an hour, then he wins.

It's hard to understand your post, but you may have head-bob on. That or aiming deadzone.
Turn both off.

I like a little bit of head bob, makes it more realistic. Having it turned up fully is ridiculous though, its like character has one leg shorter than the other or something...
