Lingor is pretty crazy. Played for a little while with Gaffers. Looks like we are going to play this one more often now.

[Hylian7]

I was this close to having an AS50 in Lingor. THIS CLOSE!

Edit: Also, dat two-hour standoff in Orlovets factory. Whew that was crazy!

Thank you to player G Money for making that fun!

[Hylian7]

I'm uploading the "ghost rider" chase that J-Rock and I were involved in right now.

[J-Rock]

Hmm, can't seem to get into the gaf server now. I get stuck in loading forever. Wondering if the lingor download has anything to do with it. Anyone else experiencing this? I updated the latest arma patch and still no luck. Odd.

Worked for me two hours ago. However we got thunderdomed, so maybe the server got fucked after that

[Mr Nightman]

well found my group a bike, this game has only been getting better for us :)

Yeah maybe. I can get into other servers. Gaf server is really the only one giving me trouble. Time for some Lingor I guess.

That standoff was crazy. My heart was pounding when Littleworm's (pretty sure it was Littleworm) head got blown off right next to me.

[Mafro]

Are bicycles meant to heal themselves back to full health when you get off them?

Wait you ran into G money on Lingor?

No, it's a bug thats been around since bikes were added.

No, I was talking about the standoff at the factory. Lingor is safe, I think. Except for that dancing...

We wish, I was talking about on Chernarus when you killed him.

[Atomski]

where did TCKaos get the holo sd. I know it can be from killing a hacker and getting the item, however it doesnt mix well when they're accusing of hacking and the screenshot depicts a weapon that isn't in the dayz wiki :/

Is it a hacked weapon? I found a tent with 3 of them in it the other day had no idea. :/

I'm currently still playing as a lone survivor on the gaf server. Anyway: This morining I decided to head for Elektro and check out if there was anything left of the camp, but before I even got there I found this boat in the middle of a forest:

What was even stranger is that I could actually enter the boat, so my guess is that it somehow got teleported.

After seeing this I decided to head on. Since it was dark travelling fast was quite easy and I got into a spot with a good overview of the island and it's surroundings shortly after. I then watched the island with my binoculars for a while to make shure I wouldn't get shot during my approach. When I was sure there was noone I decided to test my luck and walked, then swam towards the camp. On the way I found the body of an unlucky gaf member.

However when I arrived there was nothing left, except for a lot of flattened tents and the body of another survivor who had some 5.56 ammo on him, so my journey was not entirely whitout payoff.

After this I decided to head north again, back into the forests. However on my way out Elktro I spotted a supermarket, as I was low on canned food I wanted to make one last stop in order to stock up. I entered through the back after evading some hungry zombies, but as I looked around the back for useful loot I heard someone else walking around indoors. At first I assumed it was another zombie, but I didn't hear the usual groaning, so I decided to check it out. To my suprise it was another survivor, the first one I'd seen in days, he didn't notice my however as he was busy looting himself. From behind the counter I aimed my m16 for his head and contemplated killing him, but noticed he wasn't wearing nvgs so he probably couldn't see me anyway, nor did he seem much of a treat.

So I hid behind the counter and asked if he was friendly. He did reply, muttering a few words which I couldn't make out, I heard movement and prepared to shoot, but didn't see anything move. After a while the sound faded away and I decided to take another look. It turned out he had left through the front exit and was nowhere to be seen. So after assuring myselft he was gone I quickly looted the rest of the supermarket and ran off north, constantly making sure I wasn't followed.

We're being chased by freaking Ghost Rider!

Read the description to see how this started out (I unfortunately don't have video of that part.)

I swear listening to you freaking out is more fun than playing the game lol

[Hylian7]

I forgot to mention. Later that day (about when we gave up on that server and went to a Lingor server), that guy showed up again and started turning people into goats. Goats Rider.

[holdbrillanj]

Oh so he was a hacker? So strange for him to use a bike like that. How is the hacker status on lingor server?

Lol, disconnecting bitches.

[Hylian7]

That was definitely a hacker and we had no chance against him. The only thing we could do was keep driving and hope he got bored and went to go bother someone else. The invisible dirtbike was an obvious sign, plus there were so many times there we could have shaken a normal player.

Lingor was mostly hacker free. Shortly before we logged out a hacker made everyone dance then kicked everyone with BattleEye error #142. No one could get back into that server after that.

[cametall]

Was the default skin changed? I downloaded the new patch and my character is in plaid with a Kevlar jacket.

He was a hacker. I usually disconnect when dealing with them.

[NH Apache]

So I updated the beta to 95777 and battleye updated, but now I'm stck on loading after a couple retries... Any ideas?

[cametall]

Pics?

I died and the skin went back to default. But it was the Hero skin I think. Plaid shirt, black Kevlar, different colored hat and the jeans looked like a richer blue. Sleeves on the plaid shirt were rolled up. It looked cool but was terrible for camo.

It's possible my two back to back murders caused me to lose it.

EDIT: It looked exactly like this. Maybe the jeans weren't a richer blue.

Got it going. It's been a while so I started with a new char. I only had a little bit of time to play so I wasn't rocking my headset or on mumble.

Found me a nice little enfield and since there were only a couple peeps (>10) on the serer I wasn't too worried about running into someone, but my luck sucks ballz.

Damn, sorry man. That was me! I was in mumble though. Had a ton of good loot and only 2000 blood so I was edgy as hell about running into someone.

[Ingueferroque]

What's the point of DayZ if you spawn without a means to defend yourself and have little chance of encountering any sort of weapon before a zombie sees you from a mile away and runs at you without ever stopping?

If they want some sort of realism (in a gamey sense), why can my character seemingly run forever? I usually end up just giving up and letting the zombie catch up with me, at which point it takes him 30 seconds to kill me as I stand there and his badly timed animation routine is filling the screen.

I love the atmosphere, but I'd like to see where they are going with this mod and how they are planning to improve it.

I've played a few times and have not encountered a human player, I thought I saw two crawling away once but upon closer inspection those were just zombies that decided to crawl. :(

PS. What's the point of spawning dead military units if they have nothing worth looting, even though their model clearly shows that they can at least provide me with some camo and helmets.
PPS. My appetite for this game sort of waned when I was crawling along being sneaky and careful, when I suddenly see a zombie maybe two miles away running right at me. :(

[blitzcloud]

Just like Dayz applied a cool gameplay design to the core arma 2 OA, Lingor took the most suitable map for a Dayz experience and adapted it.

the marathon running you need on Chernarus isn't really a nice experience, and here you can feel like everything's connected. Hell, there's so much enterable stuff compared to Chernarus, that it already is a gamechanger. If you're being assaulted on a town you can enter a building and go to the next one through the roof, for example.

Overall i like it much better.

[Hylian7]

Whew, what a crazy night on Lingor Island! Video coming eventually. I will say it was hacker free though. I agree with J-Rock, we'll definitely play Lingor more often!

[littleworm]

We be tripping on cars in Lingor.

Also I'm still writing up my story from the other night, so for those waiting it's coming I promise.

[J-Rock]

It was pretty damn exciting. Frustrating that we basically lost everything that was found, typical DayZ, but we learned a lot. I'm sure we'll get better with this map and find even more stuff in the future. It was also nice not having to deal with a hacker every 30mins.

[Kentpaul]

Lol, disconnecting bitches.

Ruining the game.

[J-Rock]

Yes, hackers are ruining the game. I agree.

Man... LINGOR.

The last game I played on Lingor was so damn intense and hacker free. So good. I'll briefly tell the story.

So I spawn into a city and spot a store in the distance. I head over to it and grab some food, water and gear. I wander a few buildings over and hear some gun shots in the distance. The shots are not directed at me but I feel it's best to get inside the small two story building that I'm next to and watch through the windows. I find a popped tent inside one of the rooms! I dig through it and snag a shotgun. Gunshots ring out closer to where I am at. Then I hear footsteps right outside the window of the room I'm in. I duck down and hear someone come through the front door. This guy is shooting at zombies that are chasing him. I close the door of the room I am in and lay on my stomach with my shotgun facing the closed down. More shots. More zombies. Then even more zombie. Then a shitload-holyfucking-fuck fuck fuck there are zombies everywhere and glitching through the walls all around me. I can't believe how many zombies are attacking this guy. I hear the him run upstairs. His gun still firing and zombies still pouring into this small building. I start to think that he might be in the room right above. Then that thought gets confirmed as blood begins to drip through the ceiling all over me. A few more shots... then silence. I hear him bandage and I focus all of my attention on this closed door in front of me. I wait... and nothing happens. I peek outside the room and see a trail of dead zombies leading up the stairs. I look around on the second floor but the guy is gone. I loot a bit more and nervously make my way out of that nightmare house.

As I step outside, I notice a guy on the roof of a five story building that is across the street. I get up to run because I'm thinking he is probably a sniper but I end up alerting a bunch of zombies nearby. Fuck. Then I hear gun fire from the roof. FUCK. I scramble into an old garage and look back to see that all of the zombies behind me are dead. He killed them. I thank him in the chat. He said, "np, we help each other here". I offer to bring him some food and water and he says to meet him downstairs. He asks if I want to loot the building with him. We raid so many rooms that I lose count. When we finish I ask what the plan is. He says, "follow me" and we run. Eventually we turn a corner and he says, "get in". He has a truck! We run over a crowd of zombies and haul ass out of the town. We cruise for a while and I wonder if this guy is taking me back to some hidden camp of his. Suddenly we stop, he spotted a crashed helicopter in the distance. Time for more looting. We pull up and I get out to distract the zombies while he loots the chopper. He's almost done looting, looks like he found some good gun... shots ring out. A sniper puts a bullet in my leg and breaks it. I'm bleeding out fast. The other guy runs back to the truck to try and get away. I hear him start the engine and I'm hoping that he'll make it out alive. The last thing I see before I die is the guy in the truck getting shot in the head.

A. Run away. Lose zombies by breaking LoS, by blocking their routes with foliage, by dragging them through buildings where they can't run. The best players kill very few zombies, IMHO. I'm fully geared and I have 11 zombie kills on this character.

B. Weapons are easy to find in Chernarus. You just don't know where to look.

C. It is an alpha. Don't expect a AAA experience.

Most of your complaints go away once you know wtf you're doing, btw.

[Shorty11857]

Guys just got a question, does Arma 2/DayZ have any issues with quad-cores? I'm getting a really low FPS but my graphics card isn't being maxed out so the issue could be my CPU

[Sethos]

Nope, game utilizes multiple cores, however the game is very CPU intensive.

[paperboywriter]

well we now have a fleet lol click for high res

are you fucking kidding me? where did you find those vehicles? We are playing for over 100 hours and we never find any cars/bikes/trucks? any tips on how to find them?

[Shorty11857]

Nope, game utilizes multiple cores, however the game is very CPU intensive.

Ah thanks, was wondering what was happening, managed to get the game up to a solid 30 FPS anyway guess that will do me

[cametall]

It was 0 when I spawned with the skin.
