    1. Avoid Elektro
    2. Avoid Chernov

    It looks like Balota is the place to get good loot rom rather then hitting these areas until your equipped.

    Well you can avoid them and go places which are in theory quieter, but you certainly need to keep your eyes peeled around balota airfield as much as in those two cities. I’ve been in and out of both cities a lot and while I hate it everytime, because it’s such a high risk activity, it’s not so much of an issue when you’ve just spawned and you need equipment. You just need to be alert and careful in managing zombie aggro.

    Heading towards deer stands in the hills behind most of the southern coast towns is another option for you, although it’s a bit more time consuming. Zelenogorsk and Berizino are also two good alternative locations to trek to, but of course nowhere is 100% safe, as we had demonstrated yesterday.

    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 🙂

    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.

    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”.

    Enjoying it very much, the tension and pvp aspect are the high;light for me! Ive spent a long while watching some good videos on looting spots and tactics so eachj time I play I can only get better – its cool, becuase you can loot well, log and come back to it which is a nice touch.

    I spawned in when i got home from work, worked my way around the back of Elektro, found a m1911 in a hut, then noticed a player standing still, looted his back, then before he realised what was going on, I shot him in the head – thats the highlight for me, heard his mates so I logged lol! But yesterdays mayhem with the 20 or so undead in that field, was quality! Fighting them back while Beer was crossfiring (ok and me lol)
