I'm willing to help donate for the boards server if needed . Pm me details as I play dayz on it most of the time

One thing though is it a choice to not allowing helicopters on the server and if so why out of curiosity?

I'll send you a PM, the DAYZ admins decide which servers get Helicopters but due to desync issues they have no plans to enable them at present.

i thin what we need here would be a bit of something to make it interesting...as in how about 15 boardsies vs 15 anti...we both invade cherno the winners being the ones holding the most buildings or with the most survivors after an hour or so... the losers pay the server cost for the month or at least contribute 5 euro per member or so...

I think the pvp that's happening is the right way to do it to be honest. A team-based ground war would be a pain in the hole to organise, and there'd be too many opportunites for people to take the piss.

As for betting for who funds the server, I'm more of the "fund if you can" persuasion. In recognition of how big the game is getting, there's an opportunity for there to be two boards.ie servers. The game changes a lot, making server admin kind of a pain for Villain and the lads. It'd be cool if the workload was spread out a bit.

right, [anti-boards] currently have 7 or so players, we all know each other IRL. if anyone would like to join, we use skype only. we would prefer to chat to you first on skype, get to know you a bit (as we don't want to let you run with us, and then you blow us all up with grenades or act as a spy :-P) so anyone interested, pm myself, thornography or unavailable. were on everyday from 1pm onwards, and mainly play as a group from 5/6pm - 1-2am.

A DayZ event fund-raiser could work through. Pay five euro to enter, lock the server for a day and only give password to people who've paid. The actual event has a lot of possibilities. The 'who is holding the most buildings in Cherno at time X' idea is pretty good. I also like the idea of a battle-royale/treasure-hunt type event. Once the event starts (server locked, everyone on server), an admin announces the next location (e.g. Power station Electro, Hospital in Berezino, etc). First person/team to get there wins that round, and the next location is announced. Game continues until everyone is dead (no respawns!) or for a fixed amount of locations.

Or just a pitched battle around Cherno..


Also, myself and a group of friends have been playing almost exclusively on the boards server - we've talked about donating for server upkeep but haven't gotten round to organizing it yet. Will do soon!

Not allowed lock the server and if your into that kind of game mode, play Warfare (change filter in server browser). Its interesting and is exactly what you said about but with more tanks and stuff..

I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw that monstrosity.

FrostyJack

I am trapped now in the tower of the station in North Elecktro, 2 broken bones from trying to climb stairs????? , so trapped between floors, I have some good equipment maps, watches, bandages etc if someone wants them. I only have a hatchet so don't be scared, I killed 5 people so far and 10 zombies so my blood lust is curtailed for now. I am going to the gym now so if you want the stuff hurry.

Was wating for a steam sale but think I'll just go ahead and get this, thanks.

Br4tPr1nc3

what server do most of you guys play on?

Sound of Silence

We play on the "Boards" server, Br4tPr1nc3.

On a side note, for all those who still have the "[Boards]" prefix but are not part of the whole "Boards/Anti-Boards" conflict, we should create another prefix which still allows us to identify fellows Boardsies but which doesn't contribute to the kill tally of either side.

Perhaps something like "[Boardsies]", or something like that.

Br4tPr1nc3

thanks for the info man.

is there anything i need to know before i start?

I would def check out some you tube videos, They will give you some good guidlines on how to play successfully.

Don't get attached to your gear, you will lose it.

Use one of the online maps on another screen, to decide on where to go and how to get there. They will also show you loot spots, etc.

As soon as you spawn look at the bottom left of the screen to tell you where abouts you are, it is very quick.

It will prob take you a few lives to figure out the basics. I've been at it a week and learn something new everytime I start.

Also, crawling is essential while trying to get around Z infested areas.

Was walking down a hill and in between two large stones just west of Kamyshovo when my character suddenly broke his leg and bled out instantly. Made my way back over and the body was gone after about 4 or 5 minutes but still heard the flies. Just a heads up so no one else gets caught

Can anyone tell me how to lower the grenade launcher sights on the m16?

Zatoichi

Apologies to the person I capped in the supermarket in Stary. I just spawned in the corner, see the guy looking at gear feet ahead of me. I tried to hide but he came jogging right to my position, so I came out blasting.

I hope that kind of thing is prevented in the future. Random spawns within a certain radius of where you last logged off might help. It would also lessen the barracks looters easily warping in to safetly loot, rather than having to approach a more than likely covered entry point.
