platinums

anyone got lingor to work with the Arma II Operation Arrowhead: Steam Version?

I have downloaded @lingor/@lingor_dayz/@dayz_lingor_island but the russian instructions are soo effing vague...

Why do people mark tents on the map, when it has stuff in it?

Baffles me :P

tuxy

They must think the map is private, it's a bit weird how stuff you mark on a map magically appears on other peoples maps.

I'll be on with a mate at around 8pm or so tomorrow if you want to join up for a while.

Just hop into the Boards Mumble - there should be some info about it somewhere here on the thread. If not, I can send you the link.

I put a couple of bullets in that chap when he came down the ladder. I think Chris was his name.

Why does no one go to the north west on the Boards servers anymore?

I was up there an hour or two ago. The place was dead so I left. Although I only stayed around for 10 mins at most.

ie2 has quite a few players on since early afternoon. whats the story with everyone are you all just pvp down coasts or are ppl playing the simulation all over the map because the north in general is deserted.

I feel sorry for all the lonely Snipers up on NW Airfield.

The north is always deserted on both servers, especially IE2. Very hard to find decent squad v squad combat.

You'll rarely find anyone well armed up north, there always down south killing new spawns with there snipers.

I'd love if the developers did a complete character wipe for everyone & wiped all tents etc. Would be great to actually need to loot the stary tents again. If I want gear I go to elektro sniper hill or go to one of the many camps dotted throughout servers.

Sticking my neck out here a bit but anyone up north fancy giving me a blood transfusion I'm by the NW airfield and I have a blood bag.

I think it's really a matter of providing more tangible objectives for survivors. I honestly believe that the promise of weapons really shouldn't be the only thing to draw players North. Hell, weapons and vehicles seem to be the driving force for everything in DayZ when you think about it.

Being a casual player, I often feel that time is far too huge a constraint when playing this game. Providing even the most basic objectives that people like myself could achieve in a reasonable amount of time would be brilliant. I'm sure it would even give me the incentive to head North a little more often than I do.

The objectives could be absolutely anything! Why not get players to send a signal through each one of the Comm towers to get the location of randomly located vehicle or weapons dump? Maybe we could have radios that broadcast procedurally generated messages that would force large numbers of player into a single area, like a distress beacon or a call for the assassination of a group of players. Anything that would shake up the game up a little bit every once in a while.

I just spent a while stalking Kevin around the NW airfield wondering if he might give me a blood transfusion. But then I realised I was far better equipped than him and he had every reason to kill me so I murdered him in the deer stand beside the airfield. Sorry Kevin

Edit: still looking for that blood transfusion btw don't lets kevins experience put you off!

Soby

You still up yaker ?

You do know anyone that goes up there to 'heal' you, will more then likely kill you?

Your better off asking someone you know and trust to do it.

Kells...

Found a Bus on IE1 earlier,great craic.

Got bored then blew it up.

2 buses on IE1 in the last few days? And who said vehicle spawn was low?

Thankfully our's is still parked up where we left it

Another reason to keep all the good stuff in a seperate location as well. Incase someone does manage to find it.!!


Just logged on to IE2 to see if anything was going down. Scary how much of an advantage your at with night vision goggles. May hop on when its dark more often.

Got to the airfield on another server, seems quiet until an invisible MK48 starts shooting at us...FFS!

platinums

finally got Lingor working last night.. a different island makes a lot of difference. Also met a group and had some great craic with a bus, we drove to the s. airfield then the whole squad was murdered one at a time, by another 5-7man squad, who had snipers watching the airfield. It was havok and hilarious at the same time.

Stuff like that never seems to happen to me on the Dayz Irish server and I cant be arsed to go elsewhere, ( i like moaning/commenting here).., Its just as well Lingor did reinvigorate dayz for me as I was getting a tad bored of the solo play and Chernarus was done to death. Actually I think it may have been more the group element rather than the game/map..

Maybe ill start an open clan for the boards server. Some where anyone who want to team up with a group can join in and tag along etc. the only requirement would be a sense of humour , mumble etc.

DayZ Lingor

Found a really easy guide for setting this up.
here

Played last night and had a welcome change from Chernarus.
New map is good to explore and has more loot spawns. Its not overkill but enough to make sure your up and running a bit quicker.

More Vehicles aswell and choppers. The servers are not connected to the hive and run their own instance so you can't server hop with your gear; which I quite prefer, Each new server starts a new character.

I noticed some servers were very fast even US ones that I was on when loading characters etc (local hive)

Also Here's a map if you do get it up and running: http://dayz.metrocraft.org/lmap/

If anyone is interested in joining hands and going skipping through the meadows of Lingor with me, then jog on, however if you want to kill stuff, harass bandits and exlpore the map or improve you chopper skills add me on steam: "platinums" or pm me. :pac:

Never saw that map before, looks like there could be a lot of nice choke point for ambushes. Chernarus just doesn't have that. Tank Traps could really be useful here.
