Any update on the [Boards] campsite(s)?

Obviouslly not for discussion here but more members will see this message then the group post.

Do many peeople actually have Tents?
I've found only one and that disappeared during a spawn reset.

Man, I had a great game last night, the first time I've properly sunk my teeth into it. The boards server was running like a dream, by my estimation.

Unfortunately I did something wrong with Mumble, so I could hear, but not talk to the boardsies. So after about ten minutes messing with I though, **** it, I'll be Rambo instead. I eventually left my character in the woods with about 700 blood, not many bullets but a Winnie, a watch and some good bullets for somebody else, should I meet them (next week some time, mind).

All I need now is 20+ cans of food, in the absence of anything better, and to manage not go get eaten, because any chase I end up in will almost definitely make me collapse.

The gas thing is, it's really difficult, but there's no way I'd go for a respawn.

Just saw this lighting demo vid on PCGamer.com and just thought that DayZ for Arma 3 will look absolutely f*cking amazing!!!

snuck out of novy yesterday, went into stary and stocked up (loads of stuff!). Got a new backpack in some supermarket, and filled it right up

Picked up a winnie, and a tonne of buckshot. Also found a 1911, so well sorted! Snuck off then up the hills, and came across a barn. Figured I was good for close range stuff with the 1911, so swapped the winnie for a cz550 - only 5 shots though.. ah well

Glad I did though, cause as I made my way north, I ran into a bandit. Actually, when I say I ran into him, I saw him running through a field, about 500m away weith me in the safety of a treeline.. he decides the cow he's running by is too much to pass up, stops and guns it down. I take the opportunity to pop him one in the head while he was gutting it (1 shot, from ages away! so chuffed )

Turns out he had an m4 cco, with a hape of ammo, a gps, watch, compass, map etc etc. My first definite player kill turned out to be pretty profitable

Hehe "hape".

So the moral question after your profitable kill would be :
Would you kill another Non-Bandit player if you were struggling for health/ammo/food?

Yes.

Them/me. An easy decision.

Would you try asking nicely first or just blast them?

What if zombies were in the area?

Without hesitation. It's a kill or be killed world. Whether it's bandits, desperate survivors or zombies, you're generally safer to shoot first.

I'll generally try to avoid people however, and will only kill them if they see me.

plus, the bandit skin.. so pretty much gotta :pac:

My thinking now is that I will shoot on sight if a bandit or survivor is in my vicinity, saves me having to worry about them picking me off later on. Couldn't be bothered asking in chat if friendly or not and sure they could just lie and kill you anyway. So far I've only killed one bandit and no murders as I pretty much keep hidden and on the move when playing by myself - don't come across other players too often.

/Edit: The exception to the above is that I'd ask on Mumble if there are any boardsies in my location, if nobody answers then the person is fair game.

I've only played once since the new update but I've began to like the crossbow since the weapon and it's ammo are far more common now. Feel like Daryl from Walking Dead :pac:

Is it just me or have the zombies become alot more sensitive to noise? While walking slowly and croutched inside a firehouse or a church I've triggered off an army of zombies.

But yea, this game has turned me into an untrusting killing machine. I went from being friendly to being "Keep the fùck away from me, man, or I'll do something crazy!!"

They seem to be very easy to set off whilst inside a building for some reason.
I was in zelenogorsk and tried making my way to the supermarket,took three attempts and 10 dead zombies.

Then while inside drinking a cola alerted 1 and then just crouched running alerted more:rolleyes:

Yeah iv noticed that. Pretty much shooting any gun in any of the cities is like ringing a dinner bell for zombies. Shot one zombie outside a Fire station in Cherno and literally the whole city (could see zombies running towards my area from hundreds of meters away) came my way. Had to kill about 80-100 zombies before I could move on again. Went from having a Lee Enfield with 6 mags of ammo and a Marakov with 6 mags also to only have 1 mag of marakov ammo and a few extra bullets after it

Had some mad **** happen on a virginia server last night. Floating ghost chemlights!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlmE-3PpV48

After this happened, there was a flash of lightning and it literally went from nighttime to day in a split second. Ive never seen so many WTF's pop up in side chat at one time

Delver

Remind me never to come near any of you guys then, if all you shoot first and ask questions later! If you see someone saluting you, it's probably me, and I'm friendly, as long as you don't shoot me first
But make no mistake, if you come at me, you best not miss.

Just make sure you are in Mumble. We usually give people a quick "Is that you?" before shooting you in the face.

Usually :P

Or do the boards dance. Actually some of the lads created a new one doing a robot dance with the salute. :pac:

Well as soon as direct comms are working properly we should be able to talk in game and not be spamming everyone!
I love the robot dance, cracks me up. Also try walking and cycling from left lean to right lean, it gives you a great swagger!

Be brilliant when the in game chat works. Lol at the swagger. Hmmm, so if I just lean left I'd get a John Wayne walk going. :cool:

was playing last night and I enter a house to get some supplies when a Zed comes in and so I thought ok easy pickings
But when I tried to use my gun my character kept throwing flares at him no matter what i did
eventually hes looking like a christmas tree and my health is going down until I ran out of flares and THEN my gun worked :rolleyes:
Later on I'm in a church and pick up an enfield and accidentally discharge it and I hear Zeds but can't see them until I am being attacked by invisible Zeds and then I'm dead

If you press F you select flares

Skerries

yes I know that but I had my gun out and he kept changing to flares

Even if you select flares your gun stays out, if you keep an eye on the top right it shows you what you have active when you press f
