Or am I just living in fantasy land. Towns are death trap since they attract lots of attention and always have plenty of zombies lurking around town. Pretty much only worth visiting for quick supply raids.

Having a mean time in this game still - havn't died for about 16 in game hours now, but have had some really close calls. This new patch boosted my fps significantly; the game is a joy to play now. Some advice: Pistols are generally the best weapon for clearing a town of zombies; 1 shot kills usually and they're much more silent. If you're getting chased, get into a building - this causes them to walk slow. Don't neglect painkillers and morphine like I did. Being unable to aim for the last 4 hours was not fun. Do NOT prone between rocks - doing this gave me a broken bone, shaking, and 6000 blood damage. If you get a hunting knife and matches you can cook meat, which restores your blood level. Your blood level is essentially your 'life bar', so you want this as high as possible all the time.

rizuhbull posted:NY2. I'm done for the night, but tomorrow, we ride. Is that the servers most goons are on? I'm tired of playing with pubbies. Also heads-up, a few people seem to hate goons and will shoot on sight anyone with a [lljk] tag. A few were calling me out on another server for some reason and hunting me down. If I read the chat log right I think they're Facepunch players with a grudge. Not sure why though. mottbag posted:Having a mean time in this game still - havn't died for about 16 in game hours now, but have had some really close calls. This new patch boosted my fps significantly; the game is a joy to play now. To add to this, I would consider getting a crossbow early if you can find one to take out zeds quietly while scavving. I was in a barn and a monkey-zed was in the way in front of the door. If I didn't have the crossbow I would've been toast. Not just that but it allows you to kill other players/bandits in town without alerting other zeds. The thing is deadly accurate at close range and you essentially have infinite ammo as you can pick up bolts you shoot from corpses and walls. Just don't use it in a fight and always aim for the head.

We're already getting a name for ourselves. Playing last night, as soon as somebody saw me, they called me out and told the server population I was a bandit (but no bandit skin!) and to kill me on site. So I used that to my advantage. I hid in a building in Electro, and nailed anybody looking for me. I only got killed because I tried to run down a street looking for ammo and ran into a nice old horde of zombies. tehsid fucked around with this message at May 2, 2012 around 03:18 |

And it's weird, but the damaged engine didn't seem to affect anything. The steering is fine, acceleration and top speed are fine. What's the point of fixing the engine? It's almost got a full tank of gas and even a front windshield I put on. Might add a bit of protection. Whats the spade and engineer pack do? And how many parts did it take to get your car drivable?

How do you use stuff that's in your inventory? How do you type? I finally got past Loading Server Data or whatever, I don't know if I fixed it with the stuff I did or just connected to a server that isn't borked. This is almost too intense, sneaking around in the dark. I went into a barn and saw someone walk in as I was coming out of the loft. I was going to ambush them but somehow managed to drop a flare which gave me away. They said 'Hey, I saw you throw a flare, are you friendly?' and apparently someone else in chat had just thrown a flare and said 'Yeah I'm friendly' so I managed to avoid getting shot. I got out of there and ran away and then dropped prone in the weeds before they realized I wasn't the same person. They also mentioned they had been shadowing me for a while which I had no idea about...

Yeah, I think we need to move this thread over to PGS honestly. I would like to talk about vehicles and stuff without as much worry (I know PGS isn't completely secure). Also, I'm going to be taking the LLJK tag off, and I think most other people probably should as well. We just need a new, better tag. One that doesn't immediately identify us as goons. Any ideas?

Picturing you just running away while the guy is just scratching his head like, "huh whats that dude's problem?" is amusing to me.  I found a completely working car earlier today but I crashed it pretty hard and broke my legs and was bleeding..I got out to bandage myself and apparently cars are zed magnets  I was hoping I'd finally see the airport in the NW with it. Easy come, easy go I guess.

Most people who I've run into that know the LLJK usually ask about CRPG and say positive things about them. Maybe the CRPG goons are nice or something (this definitely is not the case.)

I'm just going to take the [lljk] out of name but keep Red Mundus. Also Goddamn there are a lot of redditors playing. Maybe that's the source of all the vitriol? If you ever see me in-game hit me up and I might have a few supplies or I can help scavenge. My aim is poo poo and I'm too much of a wuss to betray people so I'll always be friendly. Also, rizuhbull, shame I didn't hear about the new car earlier. I was able to grab a windshield, jerry can and engine part from a cell tower. Glad to see you got it working though!

wow. I finally died to a zombie. Then next spawn I got sniped from god knows where, then PK'd two more times. Later on, I wound up meeting a bunch of non-hostile folks in Elektro, but unfortunitely we attracted a bunch of zombies and I ran completely out of ammo. I need to learn to just lead them into a church or other building, so I can pick them off at will instead of trying to deal with them while running. Still a drat fun game. My life's purpose now is to find some out of the way place and start rebuilding a car. Also: yeah, thinking of taking lljk out of the name for now.

I was having lots of trouble connecting to servers tonight. I had the best luck with FR2, but that could have just been coincidental. From last night and tonight it seems like whatever PKers there are on FR2 tend to stay away from Elektro. I made my way back there tonight and was (seemingly) the only person in town and last night everyone I met was friendly. I also looked all around the power station just to the North without seeing anyone else. Although maybe it was just because there were only about 20-25 people on the server.

We just had an interesting time in Starry Sabor(middle of the map has a great military base with top tier equipment). We had the area locked down and basically fortified the area with about eight goons. At the height of it we had about 8 goons with ak 74s+ from the military tents spawns. Things started to go a little south when we found some survivors peeking in on the north and we took out two of them. One of them had a cz and took out one of our goons. A goon soon found him and took him out. We all thought we were fine until a fourth straggler came from the side and shot and killed one final goon, then I shot him. It's pretty hilarious the amount of firepower we were all packing though, the only thing we were missing was a vehicle to burn the countryside with as an army of bandits with m4s and akms. There should still be some more goons in starry sabor now. Just get in vent and ask what server they're on. I am seeing a ton of goons not in vent which is kinda disheartening considering the vent goons are actually coordinating and helping people get gear.

Just had a grand old time on Dallas 2. Some guy named Bandit King was running around Chernog when me and my friend who I was following around saw him stop about 50ft in font of me. Got him in the head and then looted his body for a GPS, map, watch, compass, knife, night vision goggles, binoculars, 3 water cans and 4 cans of food plus a Winchester 1886 and like 30 rounds for that. But I opted to stay with my Cz550. Then we made it north to where I shot some guy named Shadow and tyrant as they foolishly announced their location to the entire server. looted them for more ammo and some more food that I couldn't carry. Overall it was a fun stalking night.

I just realised that the mod is called Day Z, for Day of Zombies or something. Until now I'd always read it as Arma 2 Dayz and was endlessly amused picturing a gritty rap bout livin and dyin on the mean streets of Chernarus

More fun in Stary when jabronie and co spent 2 hours getting there and then a trigger happy goon threw a grenade and blew up 2 goons. Me and blooshoe then held a small house against waves of 30+ zombies as they seemingly poured in through the walls and attacked through the walls, it was pretty dumb.

Right after the grenade incident we got jumped by 4 guys. I wrecked 3 of them, then the game decided to load the bandit skin onto my character. For some reason I respawned in the middle of the ocean, floating over these ghostly copies of my character. http://imgur.com/EkgtD

Holy toledo it's dark at night. I cranked up gamma and brightness and everything still just looks like a black texture against a terrible skybox. I wound up accidentally stumbling into a large body of water without knowing how I got in so I was swimming for kilometers. It was like a nightmare and all my starting stuff got destroyed.

My pistol was out of ammo and my AK was down to three rounds after I'd learned the hard way not to use it near buildings. It was midnight, and I decided to do a suicide run through the nearby towns just for the hell of it. It didn't take long before some people in the blue channel freaked out about the mystery zombie train roaring its way through the dark. Naturally, I started doing laps with the horde in tow to find out where the spectators were. It turned out that they had holed up in the air control tower at the airfield near that army medical shelter. "It's okay, they're just following some poor bastard." one of what appeared to be two observers said. That quickly changed to "gently caress gently caress gently caress!" as I went to the tower and brought all of my undead buddies with me. Inside, I found two bandits crouching on the stairs with their rifles raised. Surprisingly, they let me run straight past them. I used the topside ladder to get out and went to hide under a tree while manic gunfire roared from the tower. It was pretty awesome. They managed to survive somehow though, which makes me regret not shooting them in the back on the way out. All that ammo could've been mine had the zombies won. Do you know if zombies that have been trained like that will go away after they've killed someone? Donnerberg fucked around with this message at May 2, 2012 around 08:43 |

So I finally got Arma 2 working (haven't downloaded the mod yet) and I'd just like to share something that might help the 1% of people having the same issue as me. I kept getting ctd's when I tried to launch any instance of the game, Combined Ops, Operation Arrowhead or Arma 2 proper, and it turned out to be the steam overlay crashing the game. So yeah there's a fix for that issue if you're having it I guess

Darkness, I can handle fine. Torrential rain and darkness? No way! I could barely see 5 feet in front of me without my flashlight on. Even though I was way away from where people usually hang out, I'm way too paranoid to run around with it on all the time. Holed up in a building for a while, scanning with my binos looking for someone to shoot. Finally got bored after some guy called me a "mexican spic friend of the family", and called it a night.

Couldn't get video back on the screen ever though. Night time is fine as long as there is some moon out, otherwise it's a pointless waste of time (unless you want to die to the few guys with NVGs repeatedly).
