Sounded great, until reading the roles part.

On some public server yesterday, I was the only one player. Did'nt notice half the sky was burning in flames behind me and slowly eating everything on it's way, eventually me too. ...And right up to the point where I turned around and realized something was definately wrong, I was blaming Bohemia Interactive for not making a better sunset! :D

I am looking for a Coyote Backpack. Don't know what you want in return.

Geez, that was fast response! I really thought I lost it this time, but kichilron ran for half an hour because someone stole his ATV just to help me out. Faith in humanity restored and thx again to the medics out there! :)

A:Skadefroen B:Low on blood/no bandages C:Field south of Stary Sobor, I do have the exact coordinates D:Afro skin, camo suit

Hi, I am Skadefroen, 40-something and Scandinavian. I am doing great in navigating on most maps and avoiding zombies, but you will most likely find me running in blindness on a German public server bleeding from a teenage KoS-bambi who tried to take me out before he got a hs from my axe and we both died. In case you meet me, I'll probably ask you for help or if you need help...Or to team up, because my friends are offline. Due to my nature, my average life-span is 45 mins - max!

The reason I ask, is because I am still not sure this is the right game for me. I was introduced to DayZ seeing it as a survival game, and I guess this is still the way I see it - full of atmosphere and a very realistic setting. Walking alone in the woods make me feel more scared and alive than meeting other players while looting Cherno (yes I'm weird, I know) But it was not my initial impression that PvP was the main point of DayZ, hence no time-consuming practice would be needed. Yet, I get killed several times every day by bandits (who seems to oppose my idea of the concept) and this got me wondering: What is really the purpose of this game? Please do'nt get me wrong - this is not whining, I really think the survivor, hero and the bandit class is needed for balance. And I do think the PvP zones (NWAF, Cherno, Elektro, Novy Sobor etc) are a great way for players to challenge themselfes. But what I mean is: imagine you and your friends have looted every item you think worthy of carrying. And you actually found a spot that cannot be found by other players, and you managed to set up a great camp. I guess, this is the ideal situation for most players, right? Then what? Wack every person on the server? I am not the person who shoots people for fun. I played Counter-Strike for several years - been there, done that. ..Also, if you already have your favourite weapons and gear..if not for loot, then for what? Statistics? Fame? Laughs? I already had my laughs looking at others players die from my itchy trigger. And please excuse me, I really can´t see the fun of hiding in a forest all day long, if my aim was counting the days being alive, I would probably make a truly dedicated accountant IRL - which I am not.. Clearly, the Zombies alone are no real challenge to anyone but bambi's. In some cases they even present a greater looting resource than the actual target. But I admit, the first week was pure death and horror for my part! :) Should bandits make every player shoot anybody on sight in scared frustration on some servers, it would make sense to form temporary groups for the occasion, standing stronger against lone bandits. The only thing is...it does not seem to happen. Everybody shoots everybody on sight = only real life friends could be trusted = no new friends. And I did see some clan vs clan footage on youtube in DayZ - given the concept of this game (survival on limited supplies) I just don't see the point. So..Is DayZ really just another boring competitive shooter? Making you practice targets in Arma2 all day long, thinking the person who just shot you in DayZ is a better player than you are? Oh, the feeling of frustration and revenge ^^ Spending all day looting, hunt or get hunted, start over..and over..and over again :( What else is there to it, what do I miss? Anybody with long-term goals for your team? What are your preferences, what are you hopes for a good night on the servers? (english is my 2nd language - although I do my best, grammar and spelling comments are probably well deserved)

I never meant to make a point out of this topic,nor attack any playing styles. I am still a newbie. Just overwhelmed and grateful for your feedback on how you personally are dealing with these various issues.

My first find of trolling on these forums. Pathetic, too... Except for this one, all threads are nice and interesting reading so far.
