Do zombies spawn just after this happens? I sometimes freeze while all the zombies pop up. I've gone from walking with a full kit to laying on the floor, broken legs after a freeze, surrounded by zombies. ;(

I got 26 beans for the OP of this thread. ;)

1: Currently in DayZ, ammo is common. As far as I know, civilian semi-automatics without much ammo is going to be the norm here soon. 2: You've watched them? D'awwwwwww... 3: You're right, I do aim at the legs,,, however I don't consider my shooting tactic to be "Spamming." It's usually 2 bursts at the most, usually 2-4 bullets semi-automatic 4: I haven't seen suppressing work in DayZ very effectively before. Usually you're shot reloading or attract too many zombies to keep the fight up.

1: TeamSpeak is for cheating douchebags that have no place in DayZ. Go pro, or go the fuck home. 2: You're probably just going to get shot by trying to set up a team.

You don't have to how a copy of the same video twice, man. Anyway >.> I'm not personally a fan of the SMK mod. I like the version that was incorporated into A3 just fine. Blind fire and all would make sense for untrained, wild survivors, but would be a giant waste of ammo. I'm not saying that's not a reason to include it, but that's definitely a reason not to use it. I think what the SA should use is the A3 "Degrees of freedom" (stand, half-crouch, crouch, low-crouch, sit, prone) but not the other poses SMK allows.

Stuck a satchel charge to the bed of a truck (I fell off a building into my truck. Yeah) and drove it into Elektro. I marked the map with a "FREE TRUCK" and hid in a nearby building. Pretty soon 5 bandits jumped in (3 in front, 2 in back, if I counted right). I heard the engine rev, and hit detonate when they got a few feet down the road. Killed them, and all the zombies around them. Walked away with NVGs and lots of ammo.

1: I'll shoot at anyone at any range with anything that isn't a pistol, shotgun, melee weapon, or Winchester. 2: I despise the ACOG. Is it just me, or does a gun get weaker when you slap an ACOG on it? 1-hit STANAGs become 4-5 hit wastes of inventory. The sights aren't even that good for semi-automatic, either.

Really? Strange. I prefer to use the AKM at range, since I can dial it and I'm comfortable using its sorry sights at 300+ meters.

Well, seeing as you're Inception, you can do whatever the hell ye'd like.

The fact that you called it a "Frag nad" means you didn't deserve it anyway. And I've hard worse luck; imagine losing the L86SW (I don't know what its ingame name is. The LMG with the thermal/night vision scope), M9SD, all your food, NVGs, coyote pack, et cetera, because a dying zombie's body shoved you off a construction crane.

I hate any private server that lets you spawn with bullcr*p like a free M9 + ammo or NVGs; they absolutely disgust me. But let's say hypothetically it wasn't such a disgusting mess and ruins DayZ, and you could choose ANY one item to spawn into every server with, what would it be? (No, you can have a gun and ammo; it's one gun or one magazine) Personally, I'd want to join with a boombox that I could set to play loops/mix-tapes of classics, like Whitney Houston's "I'll always love you!" Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja6vwei5L4g Or to promote myself, some techno music like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN8lq2-ciBA It would attract players and zombies to a useless building, like one I already looted, on the far side of town of the firestation I want to loot, or the airfield I want to search, or et cetera.

Hello everyone, are you tired of sucking at DayZ? Are you not good enough to play? Are a lazy, combat-logging slob with no life? Can't aim or shoot, so you need custom weapon choices? In general, just not any good at life? Join this server, and let the douchebaggery commence! Is finding a helicopter on a legitimate server too hard? Join us because we're lazy and don't mind 20 fucking helicopters in our ZOMBIE SURVIVAL game. <--- sarcasm. Stupid private servers.

Thanks, then. :)

Like a douchebag cheater?

The M4A1 Holo/grenade launcher is a beautiful weapon, but I've always felt like it got nerfed too much; I've put 4 bullets into someone's chest without them going down, and that's a little frustrating. Plus, giving up pistol ammo or bandages is a bit annoying... however, with an SD, there isn't as much need for a pistol. 1: It's called hit-and-run, not hit-run-hit 2: I'm not an ACOG fan; I don't like being constrained to "Hip fire" against close targets. You can use the Fn Fal and M14 red dot just fine at 300 meters with little practice.

Do you mean that in the obligatory asshole manner of, "Cool story, bro?" or are you being sincere? You know how the internet is, with its small children and giant assholes.

I know exactly how you feel. I had a really hard time getting the hero skin for 2 reasons: 9/10 of the players I meet are assholes, and if they shoot me I have to restart, or if I shoot them, I lose humanity. Shooting bandits sets your humanity back, which I do. I remember the second time I achieved a hero skin, what happened was... So I got my skin, and I was near Elektrovodsk. Someone in the side chat is like, "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod someone is shooting at the Church help please!!" very genuinely freaked out, not squeaky 5 year old being a pissant. So I go into the fire station diagonal from the Church and head up to the roof (sadly I used the wall-ladder glitch, sorry) and pulled my handy-dandy DMR out. The guy's freakout was an understatement. An Icarus (is that the big blue bus?) got rammed into the doorway of the bus, and was somehow sideways. There were at least 3 people trapped inside, and a messload of bandits shooting at the car/people inside. It was really weird, listening to the "KLACK KLACK KLACK" of a bandit gang firing AKs full auto, followed by pathetic little "Pew, pew!" as pistols and Remingtons were fired back. Well all these bandits have their backs turned to me. I decide to be nice, and throw a flare at them, which got them to disperse/kind of look for cover. I shot the easy targets (ones with their backs to me), then layed down to hide/avoid zombie detection. At some point, one (or more?) players joined the fight on my team, and started killing bandits, but I never saw them. When I stood back up, all the bandits were dead or gone, same with the mysterious player(s?) that had joined the fight with me. The Icarus exploded. Bambi death scream insert here. I got down off the firestation and to the Church. "Don't worry, the bandits are gone" or some schmuck like that. The 2 survivors walked out with their tiny little guns bleeding and near-dead. The third survivor crawled out, and had to be morphined. There were a couple dead bodies in the church I felt bad about not saving... but I didn't feel bad about the gear I looted off said bodies as my just reward. The three survivors had several, "OMGthxkbye"'s to share, which was nice, but a bit annoying. They followed be around Elektro, and out into the woods until I had to log off. I didn't think until now that I should have said, "I didn't do it alone." In fact, it didn't even cross my mind to say, "No thanks required!" It felt really good to have three people adore me for the next half hour.

You keep grenades on you? It seems like I don't find them until my inventory is full, and unfortunately, frags just aren't more important than food. Maybe in the SA, when I've got a combat jacket and cargo jeans?

Every kid wants to be a superhero or a princess (unless they grew up in 1783 France and the revolution started, I guess). Every teenage boy dreams of dating some busty movie star and every teenage girl to join a popular sorority and date a foreign exchange student with a French accent. But in DayZ, simple people live a simpler life, usually wanting nothing more than a can of beans and some ammo. But if you could be anything in DayZ, more than a human being, what would it be? Personally I'd like to be a shapeshifter that can be a hawk for cross map travel or look like a bunny to sneak between zombies... or perhaps walk up next to a player as a cow and pull a LMG out when they aren't looking? MOOO-BANGBANGBANG.

I am not proud of my actions. I claim all of these instances were self-defence or revenge killings for fallen friends. I also figured none of the heroes would be interested in a video of players being killed seemingly willy-nilly, so I brought it here instead, as a warning. Noobs! Never fear, for Applejaxc is here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib8xy2ddMrY If you don't like the music choice, I'm sorry; I tried making music and... well, this is what it turned into.

And for Mr. Sourpus that apparently didn't like the original song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN8lq2-ciBA&feature=youtu.be

Please no. DayZ needs no senseless bloodshed.

1: Thanks, man. 2: They were all players except 4:26. Turns out the server I was playing on had AI dressed in BAF winter camo. Didn't find out until I showed this to the admin, who then took me off his whitelist for "Shooting his best AI friend Steve." (which explains why he was standing in the middle of the airfield) Wow... well, that was a polite way to put it. And I'll have you know I've edited it quite a bit today. Definitely not, except 4:26; turns out the admin didn't like my video when I shot his best friend Steve the AI. You know that everyone that has heard this song has said that, except ^ that called it shit? I don't see it.

Did it vanish as you were looking at it, or did you shoot him and not find the body afterwards? 1: Bodies do despawn if you don't stay around them on some servers. I don't know if public servers do, but private server owners don't like to hog their space with dead bodies 2: More likely it is Alt + F4 assholes. Shoot to kill, double tap to kill again; you can never be too sure.

Ponies have the best stories. What's wrong with that? :) Anyway: When I first started in DayZ, after... I don't know, maybe my tenth death that week, I spawned into Chernogorsk on a night server. I ran from the ship loading cranes into town, looking for a firestation. I was lucky enough to find one M1911 magazine and a Mtn Dew, but no firearms. I was severely disappointed. So I prepared to make my run to Elektrovodsk when I heard a car engine. Panicked, I found somewhere to hide. An Icarus (the big blue bus?) pulled into town, turned its headlights on, and a dozen people jumped out (which I learned in retrospect; I was so scared I thought it was at least thirty) in ghillie suits, NVGs, sniper rifles, assault rifles... the typical "Let's drive around and kill players" set up. So these prospective bandits (I didn't know if they actually were or not) fanned out and started killing the zombies that were attracted to the light show. Somewhere threw a flare literally right behind me, meaning my hiding spot was ruined. Stuck between a zombie and a hard place, I ran for the bus, between two players. I jumped in and turned the lights off, then backed out of the town and drove like a crazy person into the woods, heading west. When I finally stopped (heart thumping against my chest) I thought I'd gotten the bus without a fight, because the players were blind. No, turns out they shot the back of the bus with a smattering of fire. There was a tiny smiley face in the corner :) I checked the gear in the bus and got a ghillie suit, NVGs, a AKM + ammo, a bunch of food, and et cetera. I wished there was some kind of note-saving mechanism, so I could leave an IOU card.
