    I think for your first life you should probably iust spawn anywhere and get used to survival around some zombies, and die a few times, but if you want to be near us ben and me will be fairly close to solnichniy this evening which is one od the spawn points. You will likepy have to take the respawn option a few times before you get it.

    Yeah, it is a lot more fun in group play. When you spawn in game and it’s not the place you want, if you hit escape, and then re-spawn. You will die and hit escape and then abort. It will bring you to a scoreboard of sorts, hit disconnect. Then it will bring you to a briefing screen, hit ok. This will re-spawn. If you do this over and over until you spawn at Solnichniy, we will be able to pick you up. We are currently just north of Dolina, working on getting a vehicle.

    Might try and get on tonight. Played it a bit at the end of last week and logged out on green mountain with an M16A2 and some ammo including 1 round for the underslung grenade launcher 8)

    Its gonna be a long hike over to Solnichniy! I’m literally on the other side of the map!

    Awesome, picked up one of those the other night but died to zombies before I got the chance to fire it 🙁

    There is getting a decent crowd of us playing this now, me and matt are gonna attempt to pick up a UAZ (7 seater land rover) to cut about the servers in so hopefully we will be able to pick you up.

    Heh fix up a chopper and you can airlift me out! Its worth noting that vehicles are server specific so anything you fix up will only be availabe on that specific server. Same with tents.

    Yeah, absolutely, we actually had a vehicle for a bit, the 4×4 off road pickup trucks. Me and chronic engaged a pair that had it, we killed one whilst the other jumped in the jeep and retreated. We got swarmed by zombies and the guy that ran away stopped 20m down the road and incapacitated us with a sniper rifle, leaving the zombies to kill us.

    When I got back to my body to try and loot it, the server crashed and we lost everything. When the server came back up, we had their jeep sitting there so the only good and proper thing to do was steal it. I spent 20 mins doing suicide runs in cherno trying to work out how to fuel it but eventually managed to fill her up.

    I picked matt up and headed for cc but we then worked out it was only a 2 seater. Me and matt decided to do another suicide run to the NWAF and we looted it fully. We hid the jeep and logged, and when I logged in the next day it was still there. I left it for matt and went to loot the airfield again on foot but got killed. Matt later lost the jeep as I had smashed it up pretty bad running over around 150 zombies with it but at least we know the basics of vehicle maintenance now.

    Haha nice. I’ve never been to NW airfield. Any good loot?

    Not really when we looted it, there was an M16 I was able to pick up, but with no ammo I just left it there. It was more fun just having the jeep. Ben had smashed it up a little, but the loss was more my fault as I ran it full speed into an overturned truck, knocking a wheel off, and then getting myself swarmed by zombies.

    Just a heads up for anyone trying this tonight, the patch issues appear to be persisting so if you have the older version, 1.7.1.5, don’t upgrade and tell us how you’re getting on.

    There’s a hotfix planned for tonight for the new patch but who knows how effective it’ll be.

    Watched a few of the vids now and though it appears to have quite a few gfx glitches and it ain’t the prettiest game to look at, the gameplay itself seems pretty awesome – love the whole idea of the game.
