I know people can shoot you through the window of the trucks, but why would they try to hit a truck moving full speed unless they are forking idiots or ubersnipers.

I was on my way from NW airfield to Novo in a truck the other day, I had picked up two passengers who were very happy to sit in the back and not have to walk.

We got just outside Novo and some forking idiot lying in the grass on the side of the road shot at us with an AK. So I kept driving but the other guys said to go back so they could shoot him for being a forking idiot. I did a u turn and drove back and he proved he was indeed a forking idiot because he jumped up and ran out in front of the truck and I ran him over doing 70 km/h.

The others shot him just for luck.

I want them to introduce buses. I could see myself being a bus driver in Cherno, doing the ring road, picking up and dropping off at the bus stops, as long as the pistol was enabled so I could shoot back at forking idiots who tried to fork me. I guess you could do it in a truck too - charge a fee (can of bacon, a few 51mm rounds etc) for a lift somewhere.

And...that's it.

I did a couple of tours of Cherno in my truck (filling up is a pain, but hey, its post apocalypse, I get that), got shot at a few times by people who can't aim, earned a bit of food and ammo. Visited the jail island, it is just full of campers waiting to shoot at anything emerging from the water or coming across the bridge. I did manage to find an AK there, otherwise no reason to visit at all.

Nothing else in this update is very interesting - I can't see any visible difference in zombie or animal AI.

I'm back to having nothing to do in DayZ.

Time to join Ajay in War Thunder I think!

Ha ! Ha! Yeah man, i'm waiting it out until something big happens, AI work is my hope, and seriously cannot wait for some bug fixing. Damn, i still remember the first time i finally saw a truck in the mod. Just dark, running towards a barn in the distance on my towards Zeleno, five minutes out from the coast when i hear this rumble in the distance, as it drew closer and got louder i panicked, knew i wouldn't make the barn and just went prone, froze up lol. This truck came over the rise of a hill in front on the road that leads to Kamenka and i was like WTF ! He dashed past me by a few metres and disappeared down the hill. I didn't move until he was out of ear range. Blew me out.

Not really keen to try vehicles until i get my trusty bicycle or off road motorbike. Them trucks and cars attract bullets like flies to brown stuff.

WT is a hoot dude, we need to all get organised and do a sesh ! Fair sized crew in there now smile

A mate of mine played bus driver a few times on our old DayZ mod server, it's amazing how antisocial nutters will shoot at anything that moves but will queue orderly and wait for a bus lol

I need to.stop.going to persistant servers, havent found squat.

My brother and I finally found an MP5, after I emptied about 50 mags worth of ammo, I was basically maxed out w/ inv. Slots all full of 9mm, and had a 9mm pistol with silencer/flashlight.

We were walking through the city on the western edge, and a zombie out of no where one hit kills him.

So He respawned, on the SE coast line,

He made a dead sprint around 1/3 of the map to get most of his stuff back...

His vest, pants and pistol despawned, but his backpack with his P73 and clips all stayed with his body along with his SKS, at one point I dropped my stuff to move the remaining items into the house off the middle of the road.

On his way back he stopped at a popo station or 2 got me some more MP5 ammo and a another mag as I dumped all but 2 and I wanted a 3rd.

He also found a Ammo box.

We had an AK74U with 3 clips from the barracks, however the server started a reset just as we were consolidating inventory and trading items, so the AK was no longer in my hands when we re joined after reset.

The funny part is, we started Sunday off, by swimming back from the prison island.

First town we were jumped by no less than 8 zeds (i fired a mosin shot, lol) he turned around and put out P73 rounds in my direction, I immediately fell UC, finally woke up a few minutes later, we traveled west with me seeing black and white to the western barracks on the edge of the western city.

A zed had glitched through a closed door and hit me, I dropped UC again, and my brother struggled to find items to help, after about 45 minutes I.came to, and we found a saline bag to use with my med kit items in an outhouse. Walked 2 blocks and thats where the zed got the one hit KO.

I've found 2 truck in about 75 hours of game play.

Theres nothing to do once kitted out, they need to integrate NPCs abd Missions soon.

We explored the entire map over thr course of 2 weeks without dying until that one hit KO.

We even encountered bandits and dispatched them... Lol
