I logged in today and went shopping to gearup for another hunt. All the slots are full and i have a bunch of cans pluas extra akm and 1911 mags.
I will be on tonight at last nights logoff area :}

You don't interact with helis anymore (at least not for now). The loot spawns on both sides on the ground, and sometimes it's half buried in the terrain, so you have to get right up on it to know it's there. We pulled a bunch of STANAG rounds out of an ammo box a couple of nights ago, and I found a Bison SD that was lost in the Great Scooby Van heist (sniff...)


UPDATE: Just confirmed on the DayZ forum announcements that the vehicles were reset on all servers yesterday, so the Scooby van was despawned, not stolen. Helis are still too dangerous due to desyching, but may be fixed in the next patch (1.7.1).

UPDATE #2: If any of the 7-man crew last night spawns in today on the server/location that shall not be named, they need to check the nearby city for newly-spawned vehicles. They've now been more randomized and apparently some high-end gear can spawn in them as well.

Good to know Dark and I managed to repair a sedan together Saturday night despite me falling asleep with one of the tires in my inventory!!!!

I only closed my eyes for a second (I swear) when I opened them up (an hour later) Dark was on another server and like what happened "YOU FELL ASLEEP AGAIN DIDNT YOU!". Well miraculously I was still alive in the factory outside Cherno (thanks to a low server population) and I made my way to Stary met dark and fixed the car and drove off into the night! Don't ever use a comfy day bed as a gaming chair, you have been warned!

I'm currently half way to repairing the UAZ on US10 ragecagegaming.

If anyone has or can find tires, lets get that thing running. Server is running central time but its hardcore. We might have to gear up for some night ops for the usual evening to late night group.

/UPDATE
Mission successful. UAZ is at the old cabin, in the trees a bit farther from the road. It needs a gas tank, if you find one.

Long live the party bus !

Alrighty, me and moose last night found after a long trek from gorka through berezino, a firefight with another survivor in berezino, and a trek through the airport at krasnostav, a party bus! all fixed up, ready to go, and with a nice load out of medical supplies and a few weapons on board. We drove it off and stashed it, but if we meet any of ya'll on TS or if you shoot me or Moose a PM we can give you the server and grid ref for the bus.

Should get everybody together one night and go joy riding through the server on it, this is an actual long city bus.

a couple of screenshots from tonight. wish i had fraps recording that berezino guy.

Probably will be on tonight. The other half is away this weekend so havethe house all to myself! Might even sit in my underwear while playing . Anywho, after yesterday, Airdog, Darkcyde got into a battle with two other guys at the NW airfield. We had a shootout while we were stuck in the barracks. Guy even tossed in a grenade. Dark was the only one to make it out alive. My four week character gone Kind of relieved as I get to start from scratch. Dark did mention with all the ammo we had we never really utilized it...well he jinxed us! lol. Was fun.

I'm gonna try to be on tonight after I put my kids to sleep. My wife is going out w/ her friends so, I should have a distraction free evening if you guys want to get together and go gear hunting.

There's about 8 of us on right now (7:45pm CST, Friday). Jump on! The more the merrier!

EDIT:

So last night was awesome right up until the herd at NW AB. I was lucky enough to loot a Bison from a helo and feel like I am 5 times more capable now. I doubled my kill count last night. But, the fun did not last. Too many loud guns drew too many Zekes. I got cornered, took a lot of damage while I was surrounded by zombies, punked out and disconnected

I respawned on a low pop server and healed up and left the AB.

Still need a higher volume pack, Bison and Mak mags and, of course, NVGs.

If anyone wants to go on another raid, let me know! However, airfields do not seem to be worth it. We were doing great until then.

I will be on tonight as well, left my toon at the lakes so its in the middle of the map.

I have extra matches and some food, just the chec pack so not many extras. I will give up the revolver and a couple of mags for it and have plenty of steaks.

At my last start fresh attempt i just ran north to mog from the coast and skipped all the bean coast mess and picked over spawns.
