I have work tonight but tomorrow morning I'll be onExcellent.
just like today, around 9 am PST
064 28I'll be there tomorrow. I have like 3 blood bags and a bunch of bandages.
Go there, i got hit by a fucking zombie and realized i gave all my bandages to teammates im low on blood and have no bandages.
of course it was.It would be there at the next restart..?
doesn't really matter now, its long gone either way
Problem. I lost the car. I can't find it in the forest. I haven't moved it though
So I'm at the camp. Was able to find Juan and save him. After he left, I went off to scavenge at Vybor. On the way though I found a cow, so I killed it so I could give Juan some meat. However, on the way back to the car, I got lost...
So basically, I'm near camp whenever we play again with a lot of meat (saving for Juan)
Thanks man.... Yeah Axule saved my assI'm currently in a barn with the coordinates 029 089
Status Report:
Deacon: Died by a huge ass horde of zombies, came back met server owner stole his car jumped out and sacrificed himself to give me the car
Status: Dead/Fresh Spawn
Tiger: Died from dehydration, is at the same barn as Lavenchie
Marie: logged off above rogovo has a CZ
Yellow: Died from bleeding
Axule: Alive lost in the woods by camp
Lavenchie: in a barn, was not able to reconnect, alive killed by bandit originally
Nuclear Winter: shot by Axule (ACCIDENT.)
Me: Have not died once thanks to Axule. Still have Ghilie suit, NVGS, GPS and AWS
Also I will most likely play all day for the Next two days
From 9 AM PST with Deacon and other so feel free to drop by TS3!
Bad news; Work switched my schedule around. I work tomorrow and my next day off is Thursday.
I can get on here and there but not for long stretches anymore.
Current group membersTo my defense Sabb said he was there but he wasn't there
Deacon
Yellow
Lavenchie
Me
Axule
Marie
Tiger
Sabb
Nuclear
TehHank
Blah
Snivy
Degtyarev
At least the people that have played with us, also I'm considering the idea of having two or
Three groups with a designated leader, today everything went to shit as soon as left
Considering that deacon will not be on as much, leaders (I think) should be
Deacon/Deg(When Deacons not on), me and (if we have 3 groups) Snivy also because how snivy isn't on as much anymore.
To my defense Sabb said he was there but he wasn't thereStill your not supposed to go running straight through a town with SIX people. There was a reason why I only took tiger to get Marie, too many people will attract unwanted attention.
So anyone wanna fill me in on what happened?
Deacon, Yellow Killer, Juan, Teh Hank, Marie, and I on the railroad:

meanwhile... i glitched spawned in Solinchy with all my gear. Trying to get back...
Met up with a kol gai at the NW airfield. Making parts runs with him to fix up a car. Cars in Kabanino, we be searching Vybor.
For nearly half an hour, Snivy and I did not realize we were with each other.God damn my sides.
For nearly half an hour, Snivy and I did not realize we were with each other.LOL
Any info on what happened to the red car that crashed?
Got it fixed up. Have it parked somewhere in the forest and went offline. It's near camp so.Sweet. I was worried when I saw two bikes where I left it. Ive since gotten a dirt bike too add to our collection.

Also I forgot to mention I got grounded for being on at 2 AM last night, I probably won't be on till tomorrow
But right now you are playing GMod......

I just convinced my mom to let me use it if I clean three things
I should be on within an hour or two
What did you do with the gear in the car ;~;
ITS STILL IN THERE
I think.
I have a shitton of homework to do though. Won't be able to hop on today.
I am at this annoyingly long awards ceremony, I might play a bit when I get home.have you got your special snowflake award yet?
They seem to have crashed the server. if we are luck they

NEWS:
I found the White offroad truck we lost in the hacker battle in the general location Lavenchie told me the motorcycle was (I could not find the motorcycle)
I hid it somewhere and will not post coordinates for obvious reasons.
On the way back though I scoped the base and found someone in a ghillie suit snooping around, I attempted to shoot him but somehow missed I got my zeroing and everything but still missed about every shot I had. He managed to shoot me I passed out then hid behind a tree bandaged and tried shooting again the problem is I had to get off and couldn't kill him. Expect most of our things to be stolen unless you manage to join right now and get rid of him
Tomorrow we MUST find a new base deacon and I think the place where snivys base used to be would be a good place.
I'm really shaky right now lol that's fight was intense especially considering the fact I did not kill him.
I logged in, grabbed a gun from the Ural, and ran out far enough to where I could keep an eye on both cars from a decent distance. No one shot at me, and no one showed up from the time I was watching the cars. Whoever they were, either logged off or ran away. I would stay to keep an eye out longer, but I got homework I have to finish.
Tomorrow we MUST find a new base deacon and I think the place where snivys base used to be would be a good place.
It's a good spot, we never had anyone find us.
The only vulnerability is helicopters and hackers, really.
It's also a pain on fuel, but again, we were never found until hackers showed up.
Well tomorrow I'm hoping on finding the motorcycle, and I can go ahead and look for a new location
To many fucking people have found our base since the hackers.
I'm still mad even though I got my white offroad back, it's heavily damaged, the fucker must have crashed into all the trees and bush's in the getaway.
Okay, just checked out the cars, We have the Hatchback and the Ural still, Maybe the red one and the Truck (not sure on their status)
But we need to fully repair the Hatchback.
And the Hull and Fuel on the Ural is red.
We have no working vehicles atm so we have to gather supplies on foot.
Well Deg and I found the Ural after some people stole it. It even got a paint job!That's pretty cute.

Alright time for dat update
We now have:
A Hellicopter/quote]
Yes.
Yes.
How many of you are actually experienced with piloting it?
Just asking. I think Deg has the most actual DayZ experience out of all of us. Back in our old group, Sanders and Nailcanon were the primary pilots with me and Deg as emergency backups. Deg had to fly it a few times if I remember right.
Inb4-I practiced in armory
NO, FLYING IN DAYZ IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUCK YOU.
I practiced in armory
pilot skils (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwiS0x6SdJY#ws)
No clue when I can play guys. My mom's friend is visiting here in Hawaii, so she has my room (which has my computer). I'll probably be trying to break my procrastination habits while she's in there, so it's all G :)
Anyways, yeah. That's why I haven't been active.
Lol it's alright dawg no need to worry. Also I had an idea, we should park all the cars at a faraway bridge and put tank traps/bear traps on either side, oh and barbed wire/sandbags (if they are still in the game)
You're aware you can remove those, right?
Oh man you have no idea how many times I was like "CRASH" waiiiting.... Waaaaaiiiting AND CRASH but no crash lol
NO, FLYING IN DAYZ IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUCK YOU.How different? lol the armory, go play multiplayer.

Wait, what.Thats about half the vehicles we own
the...only...fucking...British...Police car...ever...in Chenarus ;-;Wasnt worth it baby ;~;
Wasnt worth it baby ;~;
Plus I was banned from us47
wat.......I got in the skiddie car and was promptly banned
WHAT.
Why what did you do what server what happened to the heli wtf is going on
god i hate school and times zones.....fuck timezones
wat.......I'm apparently banned from the server too. Well not sure if banned but it kept kicking me saying I was hacking, couldn't join.
WHAT.
Why what did you do what server what happened to the heli wtf is going on
god i hate school and times zones.....fuck timezones
I got in the skiddie car and was promptly bannedThat means it was spawned via scripts and it was logged
We are now in search for a new server.
For the entire time I was on I found a single server that no soul joined except for deacon and I
The server is "US 2247" just put "2247" in filter options.
I don't think base should be their because it is a recruit server which means people can see where you from about 1000Meters.
But nonetheless as deacon stated "It's good if you want to go on and Dick around"
Like I said all day that I've been on I haven't seen a single soul join it.
If you find a good empty server that seems dead post it.
*cough* new map *cough*I promise you I'll start actively playing again if we do this.
I'm only open to Takistan as a new map.
There's an entirely custom map out that's more like a tropical island than a war zone. One that doesn't come in arma itself.
Yes, I know
But
I don't like tropics
But I love the tropics.
how can you like a barren, boring, old desert more than coconuts, warm beaches, lush forests, and palm trees.
I live in a desert.
Its familiarity.
What's different about custom maps? Like do you still have vehicles weapons and stuff?
Or what is added?
Am I the only one who wants to go to the tropics?
uuuuggghhh fine.
We can go to the boring old' desert.
Someone find a server and I'll start playing tomorrow or tonight.
We haven't decided a map yet.Namalsk has a gauss rifle.
So
Thats still debatable
Namalsk has a gauss rifle.
So.
Yaknow.
Namalsk looks to be the best bet...Its a bit smaller, but not like fallujah small.
Part of why i liked cherno so much is because it was huge. takistan huge. it also reminds me of the forests of my family's cabin, so i love that feel. that being said i'm a closequarters fan so this should be fun. I vote namalsk.I vote for this also.
can't edit on my phone. meant i like chernarus.Well thats good, because I played it for a bit, explored every town, camp, etc in 3 hours. Its kind of awful in my opinion.
Well thats good, because I played it for a bit, explored every town, camp, etc in 3 hours. Its kind of awful in my opinion.
Lingor is at the top of my list for maps Ive played so far. Its as good as chernarus, if not a bit better, but its different.
TO THE TROPICSI actually want to see the tropics in DayZ.
what map are we playing on?Votes appear to say lingor, so lingor it shall be for now
too complicated to installIts the same as dayz.
too complicated to installUse DayZCommander :L
too complicated to install
I second this.
It took me 3 hours. 3. Fucking. Hours.
I got it set up but it's a fucking pain in the ass.
If deacon decided to stay in chernorus I'll gladly stay with him, it will be like the good ol days when is just me and him against the world
Of course I could also play Lingor since I installed it (after 3 fucking hours)
Lingor is actually a really nice map. I still prefer Namalsk because of it's difficulty to survive, but Lingor is just as fun. It can be a bit annoying, however, when you have to swim island to island.
Not unless you have a helicopter :>>>>
COUGHDEGCOUGH
Horray! kinda late...
Anyway count me in, I dunno what I have, but I'll get my shit ready pretty soon.
Oh right, if you need anything, spam me on steam I'm usually on.
IM SORRY I CRASHED THAT MILITARY OFFROADER ;-;
IM SO SORRY DEG...
Fuck you allWe have an m240.
I've got a vintage honda motorcylce
get on my level
We have an m240.
Sooo is DayZ worth it? Just traded for it.
C-can I play with you guys?
get commander
I think it is worth it
but
its difficult.
Commander?
http://www.dayzcommander.com/ (http://www.dayzcommander.com/)
That just for server stuff? Or it's free DayZ?
I confused.
That is DayZ installation easymode.
DayZ is a HUGE pain to install.
And then get working.
So I suggest using this as an installer and launcher
Ah okay thanks.
So I DL on steam first and then use this thingy??
And then maybe find you guys and leech off of your skillz?
Yes. And maybe. Anyone who joins us will be expected to pull their own weight. We may have to train you. ArmA is a bitch to learn in that of itself
Ah okay. I shall do that soonz.
And fair enough. Isn't it pretty much just use silent weapons when in towns and such?
ha
no
silenced weapons are incredibly difficult to come by.
You need to die about 10 times before you even halfway understand what is happening. It is incredibly frustrating...but sooo addicting.
Yea, but certain items and more quiet then others right? :o
I've heard. It was one of the reasons I wanted to make a PC even though I didn't own the game. I fell upon a copy today for a pretty good trade.

It's more like avoid towns entirely, when you do make town runs, never open fire unless you want to ring a dinnerbell.
Really, those guns you're going to be carrying around are really only to be used against hostile players as opposed to zombies.
Certain guns are definite "no"s
Lee Enfields
Side by side (double barrel) shotguns are among the loudest.
Your hatchet is technically silent, as is your compound crossbow...but they have obvious limitations.

We're going to have to have him run the gauntlet you know.
This could be fun.
Yea, so I've heard.
:O a Crossbow. That sounds pretty awesome and handy. Though I imagine like everything in the game ammo is very scarce.
Ammo isn't too scarce, but DayZ uses a box inventory system. One magazing of, say, an assault rifle, takes up the same space as a single crossbow bolt. You won't be able to carry around much of it, but it's a one shot kill and silent.
Really? The few videos I saw looked like they used the somewhat silent weapons in towns.
Again, ammo for silent weapons is pretty rare, and the silent weapons themselves are even rarer.
I'll be the retard falling behind most likely. I'll be good bait. lol
Just keep your ears open and make sure to listen to what the others are saying and you'll be fine.
Curious. What is the "goal" for DayZ. To live another day or what? (Or maybe rob as many people as you can?)
There is none. It's a sandbox.

Yikes. That kinda sucks..
Again, ammo for silent weapons is pretty rare, and the silent weapons themselves are even rarer.
So you find them like once every 4 games?
Just keep your ears open and make sure to listen to what the others are saying and you'll be fine.
I can do that!
There is none. It's a sandbox.
So no kind of objective? Just walk around and do stuff?
Yikes. That kinda sucks..
Yup, which is why it's better to keep a weapon that does make noise in case SHTF. That crossbow won't help you too well against a hostile player.
So you find them like once every 4 games?
What do you mean by "every 4 games"? It's more about knowing where to look and hoping you get lucky than anything.
I can do that!
Good.
So no kind of objective? Just walk around and do stuff?
Nope, not really. Like I said, it's just a sandbox. The great thing about the game is the experience it provides though. The setting, combined with the fact it's a military simulator makes a great combination for a zombie apocalypse simulator. It's all about surviving with your bros.

1a) You have to get the beta patch; http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php (http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php)
1b) You have to set launch options to play in steam.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
2) If the launch option thing didn't work, go to the main menu in Arma 2 OA, and make a new Player Profile.
