lol Marsden you cant even brag that much considering youre away for most of the time 

[LaGesse 1st MRB]

Hell my guy is at least 2 or 3 weeks old. In my book that is an achievement. Oh sweet i had 420 posts ;D

 

[Samuels 1st MRB]

At the great risk that im about to jinx myself

 

The character i currently have been on has been alive for around a month and was at the Vybor base when me and Armstrong got fucked in that ambush with 3 guys when Marsden crashed. And then again a few days later when Mottola and Armstrong both got killed.

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Im away for the hours you are on but log in most every night after about 2 EST to loot around our local areas. Not my fault the time difference means you asleep

 

Bit there was about a week and a half period since the last time I died (which was in January BTW) that I hadn't played. Which is why I said two months instead of 3

[Samuels 1st MRB]

Will you be joining us tonight Marsden?

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Joined them I did. Lead us to loot Supremacy I have.

 

If you couldn't join us this evening then don't worry! You can see the whole thing after I joined here

Only down side for everyone is it is 3 hours long. Highlights would probably bee after the 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes is spent in mill base south east of Vybor.

 

35 to 45 minutes we hit a Heli crash during our Heli Run early.

 

From about 1 hour 25 minutes to about 2 hours 5 minutes is in the vacinity of NWAF, specifically on the western edge of it.

 

Arrival at the Tisy Mil Base Tent City was at about 2 hours 18 minutes and we had our unexpected trade about 7 minutes after that.

 

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Also built up this highlight of the action that lists all our funness

 

This one shows all of the time we spent at the NWAF and while we didn't see anyone, it was stressful

And this shows the most surprising and stressful encounter I've had for like about 2 or 3 months

Good run today everyone, we have a solid 6 man squad held up northeast of Gzvodno.  Lets try to move as a unit next time we get on

[Marsden 1st MRB]

For those who were unable to make it out to us today we are basically back in our old base of operations on the north eastern mountain range.

 

Sadly our tent got deleted or stolen but we were able to acquire an ungodly amount of netting for it. So now as long as you bring burlap we can make you a ghillie gunwrap.

 

BTW,

 

 

And how I feel when we trynna find eachother and having to learn to read Cyrillic

 

 

Start of the action viewable here, this ended just  prior to the first server reset of the evening.

[LaGesse 1st MRB]

[Mottola 1st MRB]

I'll try and post my clips tomorrow but if you check my twitch, twitch.tv/mrmottola, I have footage of me chasing peaker with a chainsaw lol. It was a good time and I'm looking forward to following people and sawing them in half 

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Alright new base camp is set up. If you are not already in the locations conversation just post here and we will get you in.

 

Sadly we have no video to share as the goal tonight was to build our base out.

 

But you can see the fruits of our labor XD

 

 

Which by the way, yes that is the same character that I had written about in the February edition of the Newsletter. still alive and kicking, with Samuels also alive for about 3 weeks now. Armstrong is in the middle of us and I think he has about a month of overall survival, but fewer hours into the character, although he's got to be getting close by now XD

 

Feel free to hop on in and join us! We can meet up and guide you in from any of the spawn locations north of Solichny (if you don't know where that is we can help teach you XD)

[Marsden 1st MRB]

100% confirmation that server restarts occur at 4:04/7:04/10:04/1:04 (Times in EST/PST)

[Mottola 1st MRB]

Made it to the tents with a little help from samuels. Added a mosin, suppressed ump and we cooked some food. I also took some 7.62x39 ammo. There is also now .308 win ammo in there now and more 9mm and .380 aouto

[Samuels 1st MRB]

I believe our next objective other than making sure everyone now gets to the camp, is to begin expanding it and preparing for the summer.  

 

With the Summer the weather will obviously be getting hotter and we need to compensate for the heat now that we are back on the coast.  Being back near the coast we will begin to see it rain more.   We will need to start building fires to stay dry.   During our raids, we should keep our eyes open for barrels since they seem to be in good supply in the east

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Update, we have expanded the base. So much so that I was comfortably simply offloading every last part of my kit except my boots and high capacity vest and venture forth. And venture I did. I planned for a 7 KM minimum strike and believe I made 4 before needing to return to base camp.

 

The route through the north toward North base and Tisy is relatively easilly navigated, and minimizes the wolf spawn chances severely, will be a great run to take people on to get them fully geared s well as hitting players. We can easilly work from camp, to north/tisy, down through NWAF and back to base. This will allow us to outfit you, and then loot up so as to facilitate your replacement of the goods provided. In which we allow ourselves the possibilty of A) easy respawns and re-gear and ability to facilitate trades with other player groups on the server.... Lemme know if we wanna start trying to build into that.

 

Additionally I hopped on and stole another tent in the wee hours of the morning off the server in the middle of my naked jaunt. Found the tent just west of Novo on the northern slope. Came with a free car battery and not much else telling me that another player set it up there after hitting the north base.

The camp now consists of the following:

One: Car Tent

Three: Civilian Tents

Three: Big Military Tents

[Samuels 1st MRB]

Sweet, I will be going on this afternoon to finish my unloading of gear and then prob head out into novo to snag some basic clothing supplies for later

 

EDIT:  I got on this morning and started unloading my gear, I will return around 4/5PM EST if anyone wishes to join the fresh venture and pick up more loot.

 

Ill probably end up taking a pistol or something to shoot back with so my guy will not be totally defenseless if i run into trouble

[Samuels 1st MRB]

How I feel when we find other players in game

[Marsden 1st MRB]

did samuels get killeded then?

[Samuels 1st MRB]

Lol no, we do the killing

[Samuels 1st MRB]

Armstrong and I made a good run tonight going back and forth between base twice to recover some shotguns, an AK-74U, ammo, food, and military clothes as well.  

 

There was an unfortunate fresh spawn that we happened to wander across on our way back.  He did not get the chance to find out where we were headed or why we were in that area.  

(we were in mostly civi clothes when this happened)

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Okay good. One thing I want to stress is that while we are in the vicinity of the base we should be very careful of if people see us in Mil gear or not. If you see a fresh spawn near to the base and they don't see you, kill them before they see you. It's a very very hostile approach, and kind of player negative experience, but ultimately will keep our base safe. If other players outinely spot fully geared players in this area they will begin searching for a base, with as large as we have grown we cannot afford that. It will be easy for a well managed squad (like ours XD) to find our base without even having to drop into the valley bellow us. They can crest the ridge line, and scan the horizon before the debug plain to find the tents. We can't afford to keep a sentry at the base at all times, let alone afford to have our scavengers to be able to be close enough to recall to prevent being looted. Our best defense is simply anonymity; if they don't know a squad is operating out of the area, they won't think to look for a base, and our base won't be found.

 

Any player traps we work to initiate will need to be at Bere or further south to avoid attention being drawn to our base. And large scale squad combat should not be sought after until we pass black mountain/Nagrone (I know Nagrone is pretty far from us but that's the point. If we engage in large scale squad combat there it will seem more like a chance encounter for the mil base to the west than anything). I feel that at this point we have a pretty good access path to the loot runs across the northern segments of the map, but we are looking at pretty long stretched time dedications. Once we get another tent or two I feel we should begin expanding our base outward into a checkpoint system. If anyone has suggestions for placement of these checkpoints/resupply points that would be well appreciated. I want us to be able to supply ourselves up and down the spawn points without having to rely on high player trafficked loot points to get geared up and able to provide a support role to the squad in the event of player death.

[Samuels 1st MRB]

I logged on and picked my stuff back up this morning, in case anyone logs on and freaks that some of the stuff has moved

[Marsden 1st MRB]

alright well over the mountains and threw the woods to abandoned research facilities we went. And ooh how th payout was grand. We now have two full spare kits on us, a new spson tortila bag, a hunting bag, not to mention the FAL, Aug, and M4, and Winchester we found.

 

Found Ammo for Sanborne when we link back up.

 

Sanborned - Located in Stary Yar at present.

 

LaGesse - En route to base from Zeleno with AKM, Aug, AK-74U; exact location unknown

 

Marsden, Samuels, Armstrong - South and East of the Tisy Military Research Facility, at the top of a hill across from a pond and the bordering access road.

 

Samuels has - Aug, many many many mags, most our 5.56 ammo.

 

Armstrong has - M4, Trumpet [with hunting scope] and many rounds for both

 

Marsden has - Winchester with 40 rounds, FAL [no mags, no rounds].

 

We will be working to return to base tomorrow, and hopefully pick Sanborne up on the way, if we miss the window we can grab Sanborne on the way back through the northern loot line from base we established today.
