Base Raided by “The Bandit Clan”

Posted on October 20, 2015 at 10:27 by digitalstimulus

Our base was raided and approximately 10 tents and 10 barrels were stolen along with all the gear contained within them.  We have since moved the base and have gear in a new location.  I will share the new location in Mumble with anyone that wasn’t there for the base recovery mission.

They were kind enough to leave a note at least, however they only identified themselves as “The Bandit Clan”.  I am looking into the identity of the thieves, mainly to find out how our base was comprimised.  We are fairly certain which clan this was, and I have confirmed IP addresses and physical locations of the perpetrators.  This information will not be shared and will only be used to link the perpetrators to their identity.  No retaliation will be done other than perhaps a counter base raid if we are able to discover where our gear went.

If our base was stumbled upon in-game, outside information will not be used for a counter base raid.  However, I have good reason to believe that our base was raided due to “meta-gaming” which is using out-of-game information and knowledge to gain an advantage in-game.  Basically, I believe that our base location was known before the clan entered the server.

Also a surprising find is that the yellow protector cases seemed to survive a reset.  These might fair well for stashing a small amount of gear.

DayZ meat strikes again!

We were running along looting and Piter was talking about having some side effects of meat he consumed earlier.  It was cooked animal meat.

HERO Base Camp

Posted on October 10, 2015 at 00:28 by digitalstimulus

From what I understand, we have a couple of bases on our home server.  Here are pictures I took from main camp after I sorted through all of the inventory.  I was sick and had time since I was bored.

Not pictured are 3 trucks nearby.

Congratulations kittensoft, Hungry HERO GameZ Champion!

Posted on March 21, 2015 at 10:36 by digitalstimulus

In the end of the gamez, it all came down to SoulMerchant, Agent Scarn, and kittensoft.  SoulMerchant moved into the fields after the announcement that the arena would be getting smaller in hopes to find one of the remaining survivors moving around.  He moved back towards the city where he spotted Agent Scarn and kittensoft near a tree on the outskirts of the city, the two had apparently allied sometime after the start.  After SoulMerchant was killed, it was announced that there could only be one winner since the two were not on the same starting team.  After a brief moment, kittensoft rose from the rubble as Champion of our first Hungry HERO GameZ!  Congratulations!

Thank you all for your patience while the event was being setup and contestants were moved into the staging area.  Also thank you Hoodrat Gaming for allowing us to use your private server for this event: http://hoodratgaming.com

After much anticipation and build up, we all fought hard.  Many, including myself, didn’t last 2 minutes in the arena but it was still be biggest adrenaline rush in DayZ I have had to date.  Although, next time I will probably run straight away from the loot in the middle instead of trying to grab something.

If you streamed the event, please feel free to link your stream in the comments.  This news post will be updated with streamer links, videos, pictures, and other media from the event.  Also share your story about your experience with the games in the comments section, what strategy you used, how long you lasted, what you liked and didn’t like, etc.

Backpack Configurations

Most backpacks were carefully crafted so that there would be an advantage and disadvantage.  It all mostly came down to luck, though.  Here are some of the starting backpack configurations / themes:

  • The Runner – Loaded with 2-3 pairs of running shoes, 3 full water containers, and a few bandannas, this pack would get one ready for getting out of dodge and outrunning any pursuers.  No other packs had water.
  • The Psycopath – Loaded with lots of sharp stabby weapons and hats collected from the victims, this pack would ready someone for instant melee combat with a choice from a variety of weapons.
  • The Chameleon – Loaded with a full, pre-crafted, pre-painted green ghillie suit and camouflage clothing, one could easily hide in plain sight.  The drawback: the only food provided were 2 powdered milks meaning whoever got this pack would get hot and thirsty fast then be forced to move to find water.
  • The Bugout Bag – Loaded with a collapsed trumpet and 11 rounds, plus other miscellaneous survival gear that was absolutely useless in the games such as snare wire, compass, etc.
  • The Gunslingers – Several packs were loaded with pistols or sawed off shotguns, but had no ammo or any other useful gear.  Most packs with guns were empty other than the gun.
  • The Medic – Packed with 2 full medkits, lots of bandages, splints and morphine, even a saline bag.  This bag was ready to help you with any scrapes, cuts, bruises, and gunshots to the face.
  • The Food Hoarder – A pack loaded with canned food, and lots of canned food!  Whoever packed this bag forgot to pack a way to open the cans, though.
  • Miscellaneous – The rest of the packs were balanced with a selection of either melee, empty water containers, or food mixed in with other items.  Packs with food may not have had water or melee, packs with melee may not have had much food and water, etc.
