I've been playing the mod for about a week now and i have died ALOT! I can accept that But twice today i have died from blood loss because i couldnt bandage myself. I seen in the changelog that most items are interacted with by pressing G into gear then right clicking, but it doesnt work. After the first time i died i checked what was going on and seen the change log but i just died again!. Anyone else having this problem or is it because im a noob?

Its funny that anyone that doesnt like to be shot at and killed every 3 mins is assumed to be a carebear. Its also assumed they want an easy game. Maybe there should be two different types of server?

I wasnt aware it was a PvP game. Sure Arma 2 is pvp. This is a freaking mod. It Changes the game to something different. This is a survivor game! If you get bored of surviving then that's down to lack of content at this stage. You against the odds (this includes zed, starvation, dehydration and Yes even other players) But when people will shoot you because they don't want shot themselves it takes away from the original point of the game, the experience and the whole point Rocket started making the mod.

Okay I think there’s a few issues that need to be addressed. There are clearly some divided opinions here. As I believe there are probably some players that are in fact playing the game like CoD I don’t believe that is the problem. The mod in that regard doesn’t have anything to worry about because simply. CoD players will get bored quickly of the game. But I think maybe having a short respawn time will help with rampant killing at the start. 10 mins maybe?. Electro and Cherno are just plain flat no go areas. The simple fact of the matter is the meta game has got to the point where its killed or be killed. I’ll be the first to admit that with the bandit system. It was a little too easy. People didn’t shoot because they didn’t want a target on their back. Now everyone has a target. Its much easier to shoot than not shoot. In my opinion the balance has shifted to the other side of the bar. Before it was better not to shoot a little too much, now its a lot better to shoot at another player. As reference to my last post. I stopped going to Cherno and Electro early on. Bypassed them utterly because I knew how it was. But even away from them the meta game and the underlying reasons why people shoot/don’t shoot are the same. I don’t believe punishing people to shoot first at players should be punished. The balance bar needs to be brought back. Each side of the coin should have its pro’s and cons. I think the virus system is a good idea to start out from, One or two kills wont make a huge difference but it means shooting first without thinking isn’t the way to go. It also makes a good point if you want to be a rampant killer then your gonna have to put the effort in. So in summery. This is just my opinion. Virus system linked to humanity level. The less your humanity level the more the virus takes effect, you need to take medicine in order to keep going. If you’re a hardcore killer then you’ll be swallowing them like skittles. That means you need to keep finding them and keep putting yourself in risk in order to do so. Some more zombies. Short respawn time (5-10 mins)

I have been playing for a few weeks now. At first i was pulled in utterly. I died a lot but each time i died i knew why i died. I grew very patient, methodical and careful because after a few deaths i learned gun running, even a little got you killed. I was careful who i was around and i was probably a little too trustworthy. But now its just pointless. Everyone is just shoot! There's been a few times i have seen players and not opened fire. Only to be killed minutes later. With no ramifications to your actions everyone just shoots. Why not? In the last 2 days i have died over 20 times... With no consequences to your actions in terms of killing the game as become a shooter with zombies.
