Yes, so you can laugh in direct chat while they are shooting at you with almost no effect :) But seriously, I agree with this part. Meeting a freshly spawned bamb-dit with no weapon is kinda ridiculous.

Every communication attempt gets instantly translated into russian language. The Russians are not allowed to play anymore.

Let the players be able to only walk in buildings, like the Zed.

I am probably wrong, but I've got the feeling, that many of you are assuming, that the guy asking the original question is a child. Think about it for a sec. Do you really think, that kids care about age restriction? :)

Really? I am sorry to tell you, but you are not right. DayZ is an ADD-ON to Arma 2, not vice-versa.

Three words: ROCK PAPER ZOMBIE

Yeah. A proper game - IMHO - must have some sort of a rating (and/or age restriction), so it can be sold to people (i think the distributors want to have it this way). The mod is for free (nobody is selling it to anybody), so no rating (age restriction) required or needed.

Well, in order to play DayZ you have to purchase Arma 2 (with Arrowhead), which has PEGI 18+ ... As for the DayZ Mod itself, i'm not aware of any age restriction, but it's pretty obvious from all the pictures and videos you might see. :) Hope it helped.

My hero skin is saved! Thank you.

The Hero skin needs to have the face of Chuck Norris.

Walking through Cherno with no weapons, smoking a cigar, showing the bandits that I DON'T GIVE A FxCK!!!

Eating food and the time it takes. CANS: - let's have both types (with the ring to pull off the lid, and without) - the type without the ring much more common, than the other - if you need to open the can without the ring, you have 3 choices: 1)no can opener, no hunting knife: You have to open the can by using your hatchet, or by smashing it with a rock (for example). (your character goes into the "busy" animation) Either way, you open the can with loosing some of its content - let's say 1/3 of it. (your character get hungry faster than usual) 2)you have the hunting knife, no can opener: You open the can with your knife, loosing no food. (your character goes into the "busy" animation) 3)you have the can opener: (no "busy" animation) SPOON: - "There's no spoon." : You have to eat with your hands. ("busy" animation) - You have the spoon. (no "busy" animation) COOKING MEAT: -the cooking itself should take some time ("busy" again?) EATING MEAT: -you can eat only cooked meat -using KFS and camping dish (no fear of diseases?) NEW ITEMS: -can opener -spoon -KFS (knife, fork, spoon set) - has a can opener (saves one slot in the inventory) -camping dish -new skins (If you eat like a pig, you look like a pig.) What do you think?

Thank you for your ideas! I can only agree with almost all of your suggestions. THE SPOON: I know I should have explained it in the first post better. There is not enough loot in the mod IMO and I wanted to suggest something, that could give us some diversity. Picture yourself looking down strictly at your bambi friend telling him to eat faster :) I know that you can eat faster without a spoon, but what would be the point of having it in the first place? You should gain perks by having better equipment, that is my point. to Dasdarkseed: I LOL'd in a full bus, while reading your post! Beans for you! Picture an organized group raiding Cherno, while one has to stay in the camp and cook dinner.

Yes, I agree. Your idea is better.

No :) If you eat with your hands, your clothing gets stained.

It works now. Thank you.

I keep underestimating the zombies. I can't help myself.

Good idea! I always thought of it as if they had some sort of a deal, but freedom never crossed my mind. Thanks!

The Demon's Apprentice / The Offering So, I spawned somewhere at the coast. It took me about two hours to get the basic gear, but after that, I was enjoying the view from the top of the Zub castle tower. I felt happy. Just a minute ago, I have found my first wookie suit ever! (after playing DayZ for more than a month) I decided to wait, and put it on in the cover of the forest. (to minimize the risk of banditry, if somebody comes here and sees me) Now to my gear. Lee Enfield with 1911, as a secondary. I had the knife and even the matches in my possession. The only single item I still missed, was the hatchet. How ironic! I couldn't hunt, silent zombie-kills not to mention. I was slowly getting low on food. I checked my compass and looked north. (I had no map.) After observing Vyshnoye and its deer-stand for some time (no zombies in town), I decided to descend there and finally get myself a fXking hatchet. While running down the stairsof the tower, in my mind I was already planning a feast, after hunting and cooking some animal. My tastes were set on four-leeged, that day. I got to the bottom of the tower. There was a woman there. She was lying on the ground, her silenced MP5 pointing in the direction of the entrance. She dindn't make a sound. That is why I noticed her in the last moment, while running down the last part of the stairway. I panicked a little and ran to her left side (while desperately trying to find Caps Lock with my finger). "Friendly!" I shouted out. (I am and always will be!) I pointed my rifle away from her. Now it was her turn. I guess she took it too literally, because she turned (still prone) to face me and lit me up full auto. I don't know how it is possible, but I managed to strafe left and get out of the tower. I was bleeding badly. Not wasting any time, I ran behind a corner and bandaged myself. (while observing the entrance in 3rd person) My mind was racing. Should I fight, or should i run? I chose both. Bandaging - done. I was sprinting, moving slightly to the left. Checking my six, heading for a pine-tree in the lower third of the hill. Once there, I quickly changed my dress to wookie-style and went prone. This was definitely not the way, I pictured my first time with in a wookie. My plan was simple. I wanted to get her, but not for the price of me getting killed in the process. She clearly had the upper hand. High ground, automatic weapon, no wounds. Me? Enfield, grey + getting blurry vision, scared and hungry. My only advantage? My wookie. That is why I ran. I was waiting. Silently, patiently. Absolutely nothing. I had some time to think about this encounter. What if she just spawned in and I simply scared her? I could picture myself doing the same in her situation. I forced myself to wait for 15 more minutes. I expected her to come down in my direction, since I was lying with Vyshnoye behind my back. The time was over. Still nothing. I had to move on. (hunger icon getting really red) Painfully slowly i worked my way up the hill. I took some special time to not generate any noise. No sign of her in the castle. I checked the village with my binocs from the tower again, but still no zombies. With that, I decided to stay here for a night. By the way, the womans name was "Love". (no kidding) I hibernated. On my second day, i was super cautious when going down the stairs. I wasted lots of time, I looked like an idiot, but I got all the way down and nobody could hear me! Before going into Vyshnoye, I decided to change back to civilian clothing, same reasons as before. I have found an axe! I was tempted to shoot in the air to express my happy feelings! Vyshnoye already looted (got some beans and coke), I was going to check the deer-stand. Changed to wookie again. Glitch, wookie lost forever. I cried, to be honest. Depressed, I walked to the deer-stand. No weapons, but I've found morphine and a blood-bag. I got myself together, after a while. I had to restore my health, the hunt was my first priority now. I stared into the flames. Feeling good, being able to actually see colours again. Suddenly, I heard gunshots in the distance. I extinguished the fire and curiously went in that direction. I came to the edge of the forest and took cover under a pine-tree. There is an open field in front of me. Behind it, about 200 m, lies a town. I have never been here before, the layout of the buildings wasn't familiar to me. I can see some fast movement, so I pull out my binocs. My heart stops for a moment. Right in front of the closest building, I could clearly see a heli crash-site. And a real one! (I've found one next to Stary Sobor in an earlier life, but it turned out to be just a wreckage of some flyable heli. noob, i know) I couldn't believe it! Two First-Time-Ever events in two dayz. There was some action going on. Two guys were trying to sneak past the zombies, in order to get to the heli CS. A short while later, they aggroed. I had the front seats to an action movie. There was a lot of shooting, running and death. Sadly, the main characters managed to survive. I felt really great, being able to see and remain unseen. While they were looting the shit out of city, i was thinking about making contact with them. In the end, I decided not to. After looting the town, the couple was about to leave. By running through the field, in my general direction. They turned a little bit to the left and entered the forest approximately 100m away from my position, beyond my point of view. "Doprdele!" I thought to myself. (because I'm Czech :) ) "Now I have to search the whole treeline and make sure, they don't observe the heli CS from a hidden spot." Aeons passed. The treeline was free of snipers and I was exhausted. (in real life) As far as I could tell, the whole area was clear. I stood up a took a deep breath. I leapt out of cover and ran. Loosing all the zombies, that aggroed on my approach, I ended up in the long white stables. The heli CS was on the exact other end of the town. Made my way to it on my belly. The closer I was getting, the faster my heart was beating. Finally, i was there, right next to it. Searched its surroundings, while prone...nothing! Conducted the same search procedure again with the same result. So I crouched. Zero fuks are given by me at this point towards any threat (meaning the zombies and the bandits). I the end, I found myself running in circles around the chopper, refusing to believe, that the only thing I can find here, are 2 stanag mags and 1 bandage. "I guess I have to wait then," I thought to myself (among many other czech words). So I ran, trying to get to the stables, in order to loose the zombies. I took a quick detour, to read the sign with the name of the town. Damn russian signs, but I memorized the shape of them. I also looted the town and found my loved zombie-slayer, the winchester rifle. I hibernated in the red building next to the stables. (I'm usually not using the online map, when I am playing, but this time I wanted to know my whereabouts, because of the heli crash-site. So I checked it - Novy Sobor. I waited for 2 hours to log back in.) I'm awake, rested and ready to pick up some high-end gear. So I crawl. The heli CS is still in its place. All I could find there, was the same fXking couple of stanag mags and a fXking bandage. I didn't know, what to think of it. Knowing, that Stary Sobor with its bandits is near, I don't hesitate too much and sprint off, heading north. Hoping to get as far as possible and then break left, to the airfield. But in the middle of the field, I got teleported. Suddenly, I am on a small clearing, surrounded by trees. And everyone from the server (30+) is there with me! I knew what was going on - demon activity. For at least three seconds, everyone was totally perplexed. (at this moment, my roommate is watching over my shoulder and yelling: shoot, shoot them all!) Instead of listening to him, I ran. Again. I was sure nothing good is going to happen here. I really think, that I was the first one to actually move. The rest of the population quickly followed my example. Everybody ran in a different direction, away from each other. I didn't know, where I was heading. One guy was in front of me. A bandit skin, with no weapon. "Hmm, he must be skilled," I thought to myself and decided to follow him. ;) I had someone on my tail as well. The rest, who knows? But soon the air filled with the sound of a massive firefight. The bandit managed to loose me and I managed to loose my tail. I ducked under a tree and hibernated. Next day I've found out, that it was Krutoy Cap, the place where the demon has brought us. Going west, I looted Tulga, killed and ate a cow. Health almost back to full. All I wanted for now, was to get inland, then maybe north. I crossed a dirt-road. I had an open field lying in front of me. As I was nearing it, to get a view and pick my next destination, a strange shape caught my eye. I couldn't believe it! Another heli crash-site! I really didn't expect to find one so near Tulga. I went immediately prone. First, I have to check for snipers. Then it happened again. Teleport. The scenery has changed, in a heartbeat. Grass was no longer under my belly. Tarmac took its place. I was still lying, but also moving. I turned my head around, only to stare into face of an infected. He was dragging me, rendering me absolutely helpless against his actions. For a brief moment, I was shocked. "Oh, not again!" something like that crossed my mind. The demon kept dragging me across the area. All I could do for the moment, was to communicate. So I tried. The demon didn't respond. Instead, he teleported himself back on the road, to the same place he was dragging me from. I was puzzled, to say at least. My mind was racing. "What should I do?" I knew that this time, running is not an option. He could have easily teleported me back. But what does he want from me? I realized, that the smartest move would be to try to act friendly, speak to him and get more informations. So, I ran towards him, showing him my friendly/bambi intentions. Suddenly, I see another player. A bandit. I didn't notice him, until now. He is carrying an axe and he is running in my direction. I don't know how, but I knew what was going on. The demon wanted my blood. But for some reason, someone else had to kill me. For him. The bandit was getting close. I had no time left, I had to do something straight away. So, I shoot the bandit in the leg. Lucky me, his bones broke, exactly like I was hoping to. The demon started to shoot at me, but his aim was terrible. I managed to hit him a couple of times, but he didn't mind. I got shot in the leg and fell to the ground. The bandit was bandaging, so I focused on the demon. I wasted all my ammo on him, but with no result. (I wasn't looking through the ironsights, because I panicked and forgot about this function :) ) It was clear, that the demon was invulnerable. He even stopped shooting at me. I looked back at the bandit. He was already crawling his way to me. I knew the demon wouldn't shoot me, so I quickly went into my inventory and used my morphine. It was a race between the crawling bandit and the "busy" animation. The hatchet man won and hit me a couple of times, but I still managed to get out of his reach. I got on my feet and made a run for it. I was heading for a small bush, 10 or 12 meters away. I wanted to duck behind it and bandage myself there. I tried to zig-zag. With every step, I was closer to safety. On the other hand, I was loosing blood massively. But maybe, maybe I can make it. The demon shot me. I fell to the ground, only a few steps from cover. (I could see a death message pop up - it was the bandit!) And then, I died. *** It left me sad. Not, because I lost my gear, but because I lost this character. We have been through some serious shit together :) *** AND NOW FINALLY TO THE URBAN LEGENDS TOPIC: WTF was going on there? What was the bandits role in all this? I think he was "innocent", that he was forced to do this. Why else would he get killed too? Because he failed to complete his mission, right? TL;DR : I DON'T LIKE HACKERS!!! P.S.: I apologize for possible mistakes, like I said, english is not my native language. http://youtu.be/v2g3cOnMpsA

I am having the same problem. Thanks for any help.

LOL!!!

When you are wondering, why the zombies don't aggro in real life.
