Once i get some time and stuff then for sure ill join.
I usually just hop in servers and solo bandit cuz i cant find anyone to join with. So this is cool
Sounds like a plan nom. Our group is full hero atm, but personally, I'm all for tranq-gunning a person, tying them up, and tactically acquiring their goods.
Yeah, we were gonna nomad it, until we found out that tents in Origins aren't as easy to setup as in the other dayz mods. So we plopped down a house. Now we are working on plopping down a level 2 house, and such, as we have run out of room in the house / vehicles for guns / ammo / items / etc.
Its a hate love though. Went and did an AI mission today with 4 people, killed 5 AI then an AI reinforcement SUV killed us all...but...a minor firefight broke out earlier in Mitrovice, and the other admin pulled off a 500m headshot with an ironsight FAL through a window. Honestly surprised he's still hero level 2.
Plus side, I tranq'd a bandit, tied him up with a rope, stole his stuff, and then aggroed every zombie on the double jetty docks by firing my M249 saw, then ran to the pier, and watched him get eaten, and killed another bandit with the blades of my Blackhawk, fun times.
Ha. Epic is the current predicament my buddy and I are in. We decided after classes to login and get a chopper-wreck loot run in. Found a PDA and some ammo. My buddy found me a SF Vest with 2 ceramic plates. After we hit all the wrecks I decided to dump my stuff in the KA60 we fixed up, and then have him drop me off at the Sabina Labs to loot.
And that's when everything went SNAFUBAR. I hit get out instead of gear, fell 60m to my death. Buddy landed the KA60, jumped out to get my stuff, and the chopper flipped. He saved my M4A3, and my 48 slot BP, but the KA60 got toasted. In mid-gear save, my body disappeared, and my items created a super-graphics-glitch entity in the sky, 20 feet off the ground. Just out of reach. Lost my Vest, G17, and some other stuff.
Ran back from Etanovsk to Sabina, got my gun, raided labs. Killed 2 AI, then got shot in the face. Died. Ran back from Etanovsk. Buddy starts looting for a chopper engine. Gets shot by a rogue Lab AI. Dies. He runs back from Etanovsk, and gets lost. I get my gear. Kill the AI, fall and break my legs on a desk...no morphine. Crawl to stairs, get shot in the face by AI with Shotgun. Run back from Etanovsk. Kill AI on stairs with Makarov. Get my gear. Find an m249 SAW with 5 clips. Tell buddy to come get loot. AI murks him on stairs with shotty. He survives. I blast the AI with the SAW, and then cleared the rest of the building.
So...lost vest, broke KA60, but got epic loot in the process due to my lucky Hero skin, all before server restart. Bad news is, I logged out pretty much starving and dying of thirst, so we will see how it goes when I log back in.

Edit: I'm the main server monkey, so if there is a mod / script you'd like to see implemented then let me know. Just a quick side note, Chopper Lifting / Vehicle tow has issues with Krixes / AI, but I'm working on a fix for it.
