    Man, I had a great game last night, the first time I've properly sunk my teeth into it. The boards server was running like a dream, by my estimation.

    Unfortunately I did something wrong with Mumble, so I could hear, but not talk to the boardsies. So after about ten minutes messing with I though, **** it, I'll be Rambo instead. I eventually left my character in the woods with about 700 blood, not many bullets but a Winnie, a watch and some good bullets for somebody else, should I meet them (next week some time, mind).

    All I need now is 20+ cans of food, in the absence of anything better, and to manage not go get eaten, because any chase I end up in will almost definitely make me collapse.

    The gas thing is, it's really difficult, but there's no way I'd go for a respawn.

    snuck out of novy yesterday, went into stary and stocked up (loads of stuff!). Got a new backpack in some supermarket, and filled it right up :)

    Picked up a winnie, and a tonne of buckshot. Also found a 1911, so well sorted! Snuck off then up the hills, and came across a barn. Figured I was good for close range stuff with the 1911, so swapped the winnie for a cz550 - only 5 shots though.. ah well

    Glad I did though, cause as I made my way north, I ran into a bandit. Actually, when I say I ran into him, I saw him running through a field, about 500m away weith me in the safety of a treeline.. he decides the cow he's running by is too much to pass up, stops and guns it down. I take the opportunity to pop him one in the head while he was gutting it (1 shot, from ages away! so chuffed :D)

    Turns out he had an m4 cco, with a hape of ammo, a gps, watch, compass, map etc etc. My first definite player kill turned out to be pretty profitable :p

    Hehe "hape".

    So the moral question after your profitable kill would be :
    Would you kill another Non-Bandit player if you were struggling for health/ammo/food?

    What if zombies were in the area?

    Without hesitation. It's a kill or be killed world. Whether it's bandits, desperate survivors or zombies, you're generally safer to shoot first.

    I'll generally try to avoid people however, and will only kill them if they see me.

    certainly :p

    actually, I had spotted his m4 on his shoulder from a good bit away, and that was what I was mostly after :P

    plus, the bandit skin.. so pretty much gotta :pac:

    My thinking now is that I will shoot on sight if a bandit or survivor is in my vicinity, saves me having to worry about them picking me off later on. Couldn't be bothered asking in chat if friendly or not and sure they could just lie and kill you anyway. So far I've only killed one bandit and no murders as I pretty much keep hidden and on the move when playing by myself - don't come across other players too often.

    /Edit: The exception to the above is that I'd ask on Mumble if there are any boardsies in my location, if nobody answers then the person is fair game.

    I've only played once since the new update but I've began to like the crossbow since the weapon and it's ammo are far more common now. Feel like Daryl from Walking Dead :pac:

    Is it just me or have the zombies become alot more sensitive to noise? While walking slowly and croutched inside a firehouse or a church I've triggered off an army of zombies.

    But yea, this game has turned me into an untrusting killing machine. I went from being friendly to being "Keep the fùck away from me, man, or I'll do something crazy!!"

    They seem to be very easy to set off whilst inside a building for some reason.
    I was in zelenogorsk and tried making my way to the supermarket,took three attempts and 10 dead zombies.

    Then while inside drinking a cola alerted 1 and then just crouched running alerted more:rolleyes:

    Yeah iv noticed that. Pretty much shooting any gun in any of the cities is like ringing a dinner bell for zombies. Shot one zombie outside a Fire station in Cherno and literally the whole city (could see zombies running towards my area from hundreds of meters away) came my way. Had to kill about 80-100 zombies before I could move on again. Went from having a Lee Enfield with 6 mags of ammo and a Marakov with 6 mags also to only have 1 mag of marakov ammo and a few extra bullets after it

    Remind me never to come near any of you guys then, if all you shoot first and ask questions later! If you see someone saluting you, it's probably me, and I'm friendly, as long as you don't shoot me first :D
    But make no mistake, if you come at me, you best not miss.

    Just make sure you are in Mumble. We usually give people a quick "Is that you?" before shooting you in the face.

    Usually :P

    Well as soon as direct comms are working properly we should be able to talk in game and not be spamming everyone!
    I love the robot dance, cracks me up. Also try walking and cycling from left lean to right lean, it gives you a great swagger!

    Be brilliant when the in game chat works. Lol at the swagger. Hmmm, so if I just lean left I'd get a John Wayne walk going. :cool:

    was playing last night and I enter a house to get some supplies when a Zed comes in and so I thought ok easy pickings
    But when I tried to use my gun my character kept throwing flares at him no matter what i did
    eventually hes looking like a christmas tree and my health is going down until I ran out of flares and THEN my gun worked :rolleyes:
    Later on I'm in a church and pick up an enfield and accidentally discharge it and I hear Zeds but can't see them until I am being attacked by invisible Zeds and then I'm dead :(

    You can also get ArmA 2 Free and just buy Operation Arrowhead... bit cheaper but Combined Operations is a better package I feel.

    There are 70 members so far in our DayZ Group with around 30+ in game name etc plus info on how to join the mumble server so you don't end up getting shot by one of said boards players ;)

    Edit: You should access to it now :)

    Hadn't gotten to play for ages due to work. Bloody hell, that terror feature makes things awkward. The shaking caused half my shots to miss, leaving me defenceless against the second half of a horde. A lovely anonymous survivor came to my rescue and let me escape, after finding a clip for two rifles I didn't have and a crossbow bolt. Still shaking, my saviour gone, I stumbled across a hopping zombie. No ammo left so I legged it into a port town. No more trying to be clever, I just legged it, more and more zombies giving chase. zoomed up the ladders of a loading crane, decided I wasn't going to get anywhere soon with no ammo and a crowd of zeds downstairs, logged out until tomorrow when there'll be some bloody daylight.

    This is right up there as one of the best games I've ever played . Been Lone Wolfing it around the map just to get a feel for it and its a delight . Only down side so far have been a few minor glitches , worst of which was picking up a c550 and ammo but i cant equip it . I was thrilled to pick a tin of sardines and a pepsi this afternoon .

    The Lighthouse....

    Brought some justice to the world today.
    Just north of Electro, heard some shots coming from the power plant so decide to investigate, see a guy, about 300 Meters away, on top of the building running to the ladder to get up top of the tower. Hear a CZ off to my right and play it cool. Wait for the sniper to start looting the body and put a Lee Enfield round right in center mass. Twice the loot for half the bullets :D

    Going by previous updates each one builds on another,so it may be setting ground works for more vehicles.

    You need to take painkillers to stop it shaking.
