Retreated to the hill found a barn with a shotgun shot one just for the hell of it and holed up in the barn.Pretty good so far once i get more into how everything works and where to look for xxxx item then ill be loving it.
Awesome, hope to see you on soon. You should jump on TS as we might be able to help you with some daft questions about the daft interface.

What do you mean the choppers were hacked in, I thought choppers were part of the game?
They took the choppers/ghillie suit functionality/L85A2 AWS and something else as they were not functioning as they should.
They are going to go back in, just this particular patch they’ve been left out (to test server stability or something). Me and beer found the chopper last night, it has been shot out the air. There was a dead wookie next to it, with a 24 slot backpack, full of the best gear as well as the best silenced weapons, with tons of mags. The item hack that you can do spawns a box with 100 of each item in the game next to you, that explains the chopper and perfect gear. He also had a camo outfit which I’ve got but am wary about putting on.
There was 6 bodies 150m away too, all with good gear, potentially hacked in too. I managed to get the M4A1 Acog SD (silenced) with 7 mags. Gave one to beer last night as he picked up the same gun. I got NVG, GPS, 24slot backpack etc and have a DMR in my bag (which works with NVG for night sniping fun). I actually went on 3-4 hours later and the bodies and crashed chopper were still there. Had I had the parts, I could have repaired it and flew it out of there. Prob best not to fix and fly a hacked chopper though.
Not going back on the server though.
Regarding hoarding gear, we really need a vehcile or tents to set up a base.
Just for the record btw, the chopper we saw today was hacked in, and I imagine the gear was too. The choppers are not in the current game so the only way to get them in is to hack them in. This probably explains the volume of awesome gear they had as well as why they didn’t bother their arse to go and recover their loot from the dead bodies. The weapons we have are legit in game weapons so we won’t get banned for using hacked gear.
After a bit of time on the forums tonight, it appears there are invisibility hacks too, which would explain what happened to me and Chris tonight too. All in all, avoid US 52 server it appears that the admin are using hacks.
Yeah, read that the other day. I’m worried it will just turn into another theme park MMO. With hardcore being “optional” it speaks volumes about it.

I love it, I spent 2 or 3 hours this afternoon just hunting round north of cherno and elektra and built up quite a good kit, but when i relogged, i got caught by a zombie and didn’t realise he’s bled me out. Deid soon after.
Currently checking out the deer stands around Bal.
Seriously, everyone ditch BF3 and get this game, it looks amazing and sooooo much thought has gone into the game. For a mod, it puts most games to shame. Sure it’s bugged, but it can only get better and better. 😀
It’s the tension for me. The sound effects and music just emphasise what the action makes you feel. The pvp element is adrenaline filled and reminds me of pvp in eve. There is real consequences to death and that makes avoiding it more important and skirting close to it more exhilarating. When you die, you are bummed out, but it’s not long to get kitted up again and back in action.
I’m excited for it’s development too. It’s still in alpha and I reckon there is going to be some amazing changes coming up. I for one look forwards to when we can legitimately make and hold a stronghold in the game. We can have secure means of holding items and set up an “XDC Base”.
Also, you and Beer should mention what you guys have thought of it so far. I guess me and Matt sound a little biased when we talk about it, perhaps we could entice more people and have a bigger squad/more fun.
Yeah, I far prefer getting set up in electro/cherno tbh. I can spawn, sprint to town, lose the zombies in a building then go straight to the supermarket/military spawns/hospital/high value residentials. I spawned last night and my life has been under 15 mins. I spawned at cherno, sprinted to west supermarket, ran straight in and looted it whilst the zombies were going inside, ran to the firestation, ignoring zombies and managed to find a player at top of tower and killed him.
So in less than 15 mins of spawning, I have a 20 slot backpack, M1911 with several clips, an AKM with several clips, lots of tools/food etc, just need some medical supplies. If you just spawn, you’d be as well to go high risk as you have nothing to lose.
Next time we get together, we should go straight to starry sobor and NWAF for some proper PVP. Get yourself kitted out for Wed/Thu 🙂

So I heard you had some good pvp – wish I was there! Where did you guys head to in the end?
Yeah, we actually had an awesome night last night.
After we left you we headed north to Berezino and as we were scanning the city, Matt spotted a player heading from the east of the city west. He entered the supermarket and we guessed based on his direction, his next target would be the hospital which was actually our destination too. We got into town as fast as possible facing some pretty hair crawls past some very close zombies and worked our way to the hospital compound. As we were approaching, we heard gunfire very closely but it wasn’t directed at us. As we edged round the corner to see inside the front of the hospital, we heard his character coughing so we knew he was there, we just didn’t know if he had his guns trained on us, perhaps our characters were making noises too. I poked my head round the corner first and he had his back to me. I tried to wait til matt was in position too before I opened fire but it was really tight on space so matt couldn’t get a clear view on him. I popped several AK rounds in his back and he went down, he had a fair bit of gear on him. It was really tense, similar to what small scale eve combat feels like. We looted the hospital then made it over the the military tents in Berez and looted them too.
We logged back in later and found ourselves not where we logged off, but back where we met you for some reason. The murder had been wiped from my record, but we still had all our medical supplies and ammo. We decided to head for Stary Sobor, one of the most dangerous places in the game.
On the way there, we came across a downed chopper, a special spawning loot location where the best loot in the game drops. We managed to loot it and I dropped my AK for a sniper rifle we found there, unfortunately, no FN FAL/L85A2 AWS/NVG/Ghillie suit. We eventually made it round to Stary and looted all the military tents without incident, all we really got was a little more ammo, I assume it had been looted before we got there. We did pick up some spare tools for the next people we meet up with, matches, binoculars etc. Was really tense the whole night, crawling about in the dark in the most dangerous parts of the game.
The graphics look awesome but it looks like they’ve taken the BF3 engine and made COD out of it. Can’t say I’m all that excited about this.
Oh, and max, and anyone else thinking of starting out, this is one of the best guides I’ve read, it’s from a perspective of someone 1 week into playing the game and pretty much sums up what I would tell you if I had patience/was articulate enough to do so.
http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28175-how-to-survive-starting-without-a-gun/
It’s handy to have a more recent guide as you used to start with a pistol, now you don’t.
Ok, I’ve played some of this today, there was a small patch when I logged in. It has gotten harder. Zombies are harder to lose (without shooting them) and they are much more aware of their surroundings. It now matters what way they are facing and I’ve had to spend a lot more time prone to not get detected. On the other hand, I have successfully made it into and out of the centre of 2 towns without getting detected or desynced. It’s a shame it was on my own as the supermarket I visited had 3x 20 slot backpacks, somewhere I think we should explore tonight.
So yeah, no need to roll back, we should be able to crack on tonight.
