ill stop being anti-social and i will tomorrow night. I finally got a mf'n tent... lolol... idk why but its been my goal since i started playing this game to... get a tent and gtfo of major city lol... and i finally did it...
current supplies = 1911 and 4 mags. Lee Enfield and 2 mags Winny and 2 mags, tent, 4 steaks, cantine, and bunch of camping tools hatchet, matches, knife, compass, watch
That was my goal too..hit the jackpot on top of elektro town hall (the big clock? right?) Found an alice pack, an AK w/ 2 mags an m1911 w/ 4 mags, bunch of water/food/medical supplies)
This was one of my earlier days..tried switching weapons after spending 20+ mins scouting and figuring the best route out.
However, i switched weapons on my way down the pipes. (ladder basically) Fell, unconscious, 2 zombies killed me at the bottom (damn trees, really thought i'd be safe xD)
Does anyone else have this problem or am I just unlucky? Alternating between stary sobor and NW Airport, checked them about 4 times now with a crashed heli in between. All of the times theyve been raided, just some ammo here and there left. People told me theyre the best spots to get good weapons, but too many people looting there now?
Currently Kinda sort of around Novy Sabbor. Stocked on food and water. M16A2 3 mags and 1 SD mag which is almost out of bullets. Trusty Makarov. Need some matches but I have enough canned food for a few days and enough water and medical supplies so I'm straight incase of emergencies.
Not sure where to go next if I should hit up Novy or not. Wanted to check other airfield thought I was headed in the right direction until I realized I was going opposite way. Now I'm back on track but that other airfield is still really far. Not sure if I want to head back toward the cost and main cities yet.
Would like a sniper rifle even a CZ would do for me but from what I can tell the spawns or low even though they can spawn in farms. I know the good stuff is on the crash sites but I have no clue where they spawn at.

From what I understand the spots are the same on every server but when they spawn is random. Might just be bad luck though. Most of the geared guys have vehicles and can get to those spots fast.
Is that one of the spots inbetween stary and NW airport? Though I dread NW airport cause that is sniper city.

Same here. The server is currently running on a wierd/wrong time. We hope to get this sorted in the near future. I mean having a server that on prime time US is night is not very cool.

That is called debug island and you are not meant to be there. It is the place where people are placed temporarily to load into the server. You should kill yourself via the menu or find a server that has debug forrest and head south for about 6 clicks to get back onto the map.

Yeah Ill continue to stay there for a bit longer then. Playing alone the last couple of days so its pretty risky hehe

yeah I set up the tents in berenzino since I'm such a friendly guy :D

Lol... i remember times seeing multiple tents set up next to the Northern Barrack at the NWAF... many breathes were held
Only being playing this game a few days, and I'm torn between being incredibly frustrated and having a great time!
Started off probably dying about 15 times, best thing I found was a hatchet. On the 16th time, I managed to find a double barrel shotgun and actually found my location on the map. Decide to head up to one of the castles, five minutes in passing one of the very small villages I get shot by someone. He gets taken down by about 5 zombies, i'm still alive but crawling about 200 meters to get to his body and die just before I get to him. Spawn again, luckily this time i've finally figured out the map and realise it's a quick journey to our two bodies. Get there and he has a AK47 with ammo, revolver with ammo, loads of bandages and painkillers, compass, map, binoculars, morphine auto injector, bag of blood. Couldn't believe my luck. Now I have my bearings, i'm checking the map to see fun things to do. First thing I check out Zeds castle, bit boring but I move on and decide to go to the International Airport. Head inside, first hanger and get attacked by about 20 zombies, manage to survive and decide to get out of there and head to some other castle further north. Running away from the airport I decide to hug the trees, at this point I hadn't seen anyone for about an hour, including in the airport and I was getting a bit worried. A minute in my leg breaks and I can't move, turn around and theres a guy with a gilly suit and a sniper rifle that I have literally just ran into. I managed to get a load of ak47 rounds off into him and he dies, along with me.
Haven't brought myself to playing again, can't imagine how much time it's going to take to get all that gear back and that location!
You just can't play the game like any other game. When you die, you have to pretty much start from scratch. Keeping this in mind, would you run around not looking left and right if it was real? :-D
I was playing with 2 friends of mine and at the beginning, we were pretty much playing a 3rd person-whatever game, but after a few deaths around the main cities, we decided to step our game up a bit. We created a set in stone triangle formation, which we would not break at any give time, and gave each one of us a certain task during our travels, so every angle around us would be covered. Each time we encountered something interesting, we would spread out and have 2 cover the one who carefully approached the target. One directly covered the scout and the third one of us fell back to scout for incoming targets etc.
Now that was fun. Not only did we survive a few days straight, we also managed to kill many others, who tried to ambush/attack us. and of course got big time loot from all around the northern parts of the map. We died after getting too cocky and risky though as we ran out of morphine. Better be more careful next time :-)
Today i survived a zombie apocalypse at NW Airfield with the last zombie eating me, while i was unconscious. I woke up at somewhat 1000 blood, killed him and stopped my bleeding at around 700. Had a tour around the northwestern parts of the region and after eating 2 cows i'm ready to face new adventures.
1. Don't trust anyone. Ever. 2. Don't get attached to your gear. You ARE going to lose it. That's how the game is built. Accept it. 3. Never leave all your shit in 1 place. 4. Always have a backup plan in case shit goes pear-shaped (horribly wrong). 5. Always have good comms up. Bad/No comms = friendly fire/possible casualties.
Spawned last night in Prigorodki, just east of Cherno. Made my way north and found a barn, inside which was an Enfield. This morning I huffed it from Prigorodki to Elektro, following the power lines for a while, then cutting north. My plan was to kill any hostile snipers and take their stuff. Alas, there weren't any (wat). I made my way down to the firehouse only to find that someone has closed all doors but one and barb wired a bunch of zombies inside, including 3 army zombies. I kill one, piss off about a dozen others, and run like fuck. I manage to lose them all on my way to the school, where I find 7 Enfield clips, a morphine auto-injector, another Enfield, camo clothes, a tent, some water bottles, and a bit of food. Wandered over to the church where I found more Enfield mags (jesus christ I'm sitting on 7 already) and logged off because I have to go to work :\
I still have no sidearm and I'm stuck with the 8 slot shitty starter pack, but otherwise I've had a good run today. I'll probably hit the hospital when I get home. Also some friendlies will hopefully be around who I can join up with.

' Honestly those items arent that hard to get and I'm no vet at the game. You might not get exactly the same weapon or side arm but it doesnt take long to get those. The other items are pretty common maybe save for the Map and compass
I've not found a sniper or scoped weapon either, but that'll change. I'll just camp the hill by Elektro until a sniper shows up then I'll kill him and take his stuff.
