Re: (Project Horizons Comment Crew) Day Z

[Scootayay]

Wouldn't it be better if the tent was on another server with fewer players, decreasing the chance that the tent is detected and looted? You'd have to switch servers each time you want to get something from the tent though.

[Ketchup]

Gargh, leg broke. Plus side, you can vault up stairs. I found a CZ 550 too.

[Meleagridis]

Sure, but it'll only exist on one server.
LU 261 perhaps?

Oh, and the game is deleting my characters. T_T

Characters?
You can have more than one?

[Katarn]

no, only one.

We're heading soon from Electro to Zelenogorsk. It will be 1 hour run at most, then we'll be logging off. Btw. If you come across some antibiotics, my friend need some.

[Scootayay]

Woooo! Found my first weapon(a hatchet, I officially suck at this game), felt really good to be on the dealing side for once and not having to run away.

There's no real way to tell how many players will frequent a server over a long time unless you sit there watching it for a day or two.
Even then, there's no way of stopping a player from simply getting lucky and finding it, as rare as it should be if you do it properly.

I have seen a good few tents in REALLY poor places though, such as inside frequently visited buildings like hospitals and one just out in the middle of the street a few meters away from the very same hospital (different server) in Elecktro.

[Kippershy]

Our usual server - if you don't know which one it is, PM me,
Ketchup or Katarn as we're the ones most likely to know - in that order.

• It's only accessible if you're prone.
  
• It's hidden from view unless you know where to look, the three evergreens all standing side by side in that area is where it is.
  
• it contains 1 cooked meat, 2 bloodpacks, 1 AK-74M, 1 mag for the rifle.
  
• Feel
  free to take what you need from there if you die, but please also
  contribute to our stockpile when you can if you do so - I'm not
  expecting backpacks of gear or anything, though a little item or two
  like some spare cooked meat, not so needed side-arm, water canteen -
  anything like that is much appreciated. It's for all of us, after all.
  

[Ketchup]

Anyone up for playing DayZ now? I woke up at 7am, not 1am today. :3

[Meleagridis]

If one was to find a vehicle, would it be a bit to crass (ie obvious) to leave it parked outside the stash? Not saying I have one, but I found a few parts and it got me to wondering.

And I have to say sorry, Ketchup. I'm leaving soon, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to make it right now anyways.

[Ketchup]

I'm on with kipper, tis fine.

[Kippershy]

The tent has gone missing. All its equipment is lost.
Damn shame, but really, nothing we can do about it.

Still, Ketchup/his brother found another AK74M around in a barn (no mags) and we learnt what kills people on the stairs:


DON'T FUCKIN' USE STAIRS IN PAIRS. ONE PERSON PER SIDE OF STAIRWELL.
If you're moving in opposite directions for even 1 step - and collide - it can knock over one of the players and kill them.

be safe, don't even risk it.

ONE PERSON PER SIDE OF STAIRWELL.

[Moodyman90]

The tents gone? That sucks, but I heard that sometimes servers just drop things.

I still say ya'll should stick to that spot till others discover it. From the sound of it that was a great spot.

[Kippershy]

It really was a great spot in being out of the way. The only better spot would be the very top right hand of the map, but that's simply -too- far out of the way for what we do.

(we oft. raid cherno as it's easy.)

[Ketchup]

Attacked near Kozlovka, quit. I was shot a few times, no effect. C:
We are headed to a dear stand, we hunted lots of food, too.

[Katarn]

If you need heal your bones/transfusion, I'm near deer stand not far away from Bor.

[IncoherentOrange]

Refer to me as Orange, that's my name. Or Zach. Whatever.

Need matches. Apparently, starting a fire without matches is far too hardcore for people who can run for hours on end.

[Ketchup]

We raided the hospital, lots of medical supplies, but no antibiotics.

[Katarn]

If you find oil can, you can lit it up without matches and cook some meat.

[Ketchup]

We'll keep it in mind, thanks.

[Ketchup]

Random thought: DayZ needs marshmallows. There's already fire.

[Katarn]

Yeah. Some post-Soviet country, zombies, survivors trying to live for another day..campfire..marshmallows.
So you just know. For those, who live in post-Soviet countries this is marshmallow, not this. And we don't cook/bake marshmallows on fire..though we might bake bits of meat/bread/salo.

[Ketchup]

Hrm. Interesting. Soviet marshmallows look tasty, in any case. We cook sausages/hotdogs and other meats over fire, too.

[Kippershy]

As far as I understand, marshmellows over a fire are more of a... tradition of age rather then a common practical thing.

For when you're out camping, you simply do it because that's the way it is, ya know?

[Ketchup]

Maybe it would be cool if they added something along the lines of challenges, to give the game another goal. Like "hunt and cook meat" or "kill 10 zombies", things like that. And, roast marshmallows.

[Katarn]

Dunno why, but talk about marshmallows reminded me about this picture. And game/mod still in beta, also I've heard, that they will develop stand-alone game and will charge 10-15$ for it.

[Kippershy]

I have antibiotics.

[Kippershy]

Turns out I have to learn to control my voice reflex actions better.
Just called Ketchup a fuckin' moron for throwing a smoke 'nade by accident before I could even think about what I was saying.

Ah well, we didn't get swamped like my head told me we would, so could've been worse.


Katarn - still on the outskirts of Bor, so when you want me, get ahold of me any way you can and I'll give your mate the anti biotics.

[IncoherentOrange]

Accolades of the day so far:

Most accidentally shot: Ketchup504. (2. Once Katarn, once me.)

Worst sense of direction: Me. (Special mention for navigating to Zelenogorsk while trying to get to an area near Chernogorsk.)

Oh, and Kipper, if anyone's the fuckin' moron, it's me for getting you to go to Bor in the first place with my terrible sense of direction.

[WavemasterRyx]

Well, so I thought I'd try to get in a little practice on DayZ finally!

Logged in, "Oh hey, there's a little town nearby, and a warehouse, sweet. Let's go check it out!"
On the way in, I alert a zombie. I run around the corner of the warehouse and drop to the ground, and fortunately it loses aggro and wanders off. I let out a big sigh of relief and crawl my way to the warehouse. There's a tire inside. "Well, how useful."
So I crouch and walk out of the warehouse, "Hey what's that? Oh, a guy on a bicycle."
And then he shoots me.

Well that was a quick try!

[Ketchup]

Raided deer stands near Bor, received an M1014 with two magazines of slugs, and an AK-74, with which I used the ammo to load my AKS-74 Kobra, 3 magazines. Other than that, the most memorable loot was an M9SD mag, and one of the deer stands had nothing but smoke grenades and flares in it.
Oh, and I accidentally dropped my hatchet.

M1014 in backpack, AK in backpack, AKS Kobra equipped.
