There is no issue, because this is DAYZ, and zombies are part of the game lol. You lost your gear, move on. No reason to start a thread about it.There honestly is nothing productive that can be added to this thread whatsoever... No, it is not a bug, shit happens. R.I.P thread.

I just fail to see the issue... re-spawn lol

Start playing smart. Hit Balota/Elektro/Cherno/Berezino for a couple starting weapons and gear and head inland.What you do after that is up to you.

One post on the forums for both profiles?...http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/seems-legit1.jpg

Umm, they do this sometimes... One hit bleeders, one hit KO's, and one hit leg breakers... tis' all random. Rule #1 about DayZ, never get attached to your gear, you'll have much much MUCH more fun.

LOLOLOLOL. Made my fucking day.Seriously though. @ OP. You're best off changing hair color lol. Don't know why this is an issue.

The AKM, every-bodies favorite assault rifle. Simple and quick review of the AKM and ones like it you will find around Chernarus: _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Pros: - High damage rates when shots are put into the legs/chest area; 4500 blood. - Iron sights can be zeroed for certain situations; 100-800m - Relatively common in Chernarus - Iron sights can put accurate headshots on targets from 1-300m with the right zero and patience and skill -Great knockout power in PvP situations, could take down multiple survivors at medium range with the right cover. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cons: - Zeroing can be complicated if you have no rangefinders, making long range shots somewhat difficult when compared to other rifles, but once range estimation is learned and perfected to a certain point, this problem is minimum. - Ammo spawns much less commonly in my experience, as opposed to STANAG and Ak-74 mags. - Loud and obvious; the sound is quite distinguishable as an AKM shot. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All in all, I think the AKM is a great starting weapon, as many do. I would definitely also use it in squads as well. I find, the more ammo that my squad stacks, the more ammo we need to find. If you come by an AKM with at least 2 mags and don't have anything better, grab it and collect. You'll either die, keep collecting ammo, or find something better. 9/10 for inexperienced, 7-10/10 for "masters.

Zombies running in buildings? Should be a great addition. For too long has looting in buildings been much too easy.

Zombies running in buildings? Should be an awesome addition, and get rid of the ease of looting.

1866 suffers from a horrid lack of range.

If he is mentioning what I think he is mentioning, then that avatar is lost to the far depths of DayZ, never to be seen again. Happened to me on a Public once, worst thing about it was just watching the screen... knowing there are no sharks in DayZ... but it's still nervewracking. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltldmqtCAr1qbqkbgo1_500.png&imgrefurl=http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/zombie%2520shark&h=684&w=344&sz=183&tbnid=F0whi7_ot10_cM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=45&zoom=1&usg=__fLLBbLqSTggQiWTUAgTKfB2t4es=&docid=ggfl9cxCimwg3M&sa=X&ei=vbI3UYTJGoqqyAHLh4DgBg&ved=0CEIQ9QEwAg&dur=641 Which leads to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbeH7jjPcHg

This^You'll spawn in with a fresh avatar, and never worry about being flushed out (literally) by those sissy skiddies anymore. Also, players are much more mature, and admins actually DO SOMETHING about rule-breakers (on moat servers).

Either starve to death, or join a whitelist server.QUICK, GET TO THE SIGNATCHA! <---- Arny voice

Um, heads up real quick. You have location down as 'lactation'. I don't think anyone has milk leaking from their nipples in here... and if they do, I doubt they are going to post it on a public forum. :P Good luck with recruiting!

Usually in the bigger cities, they are food/drink/medical supply raids for the good of everyone. We grab 5-10 food and drink, bandages, blood bags, Morphine, and all the general loot we can find that can be of some use. But who stops by Cherno or Elektro and DOESN'T check the firehouses??? We stop by and see if we can get a nice DMR, or maybe even ammo for our current weapons to bring back and stash for upcoming raids, but they are usually last on the list. The main motivation is to have a shitload of fun, but at the same time survive and maintain a squad mindset, despite some of the jackasses I play with ;)Raids on places such as NWAF are much more serious and involve much more than basic squad tactics. Those raids are for the good of the entire platoon, and they are mainly to re-stock our arsenal, after the occasional failed raid, or death of a teammate.

It is a short and simple review of the AKM. lol

I know you know that I know that you know that I know what you want. :DWhat I'm saying is generalized, people come in, and suggest additions like this, and they range from weird to crazy to insane to pointless. The devs will add what they feel is necessary to the game. Trust them. If what you want is not in the game, wait till private servers open with what you want. Or, rent a server and put them in yourself.

This^If you want that kind of B/S play, join a Namalsk server and have your dogfights and tank wars. I know people say get over it, but almost nothing bugs me more than some guy wanting to add in elements of BF3, CoD, and elements of Arma2 to DayZ. This is a survival SIM. Not a shoot em' up, over the fuck all top, first person arcade PvP 24/7, happy happy fun time game.

Feel free to add to the list through posts. See y'all in Chernarus! - If you happen to see Slenderman, by all means, leave him alone. He will not like being shot in the face. - If you happen to see a zombie doing anything bad, do not tell his mother. She will eat your face off. - Always throw flares in the daylight. Bambis cannot resist following them. "Ooh a piece of candy!" - If you see a chopper crash, resist all urge to call 911. - Stop drop and roll is a great way to get shot consecutivly in the groin and the ass. - Always throw your empty food/drink items in the ocean. Not really a necessary rule, but it feels good to fight the power anyway. - Do not play for more than twenty-four hours at a time. Doing so may result in the unwanted habit of raiding your houses cubboards for beans. - Do not drink soda so frequently, it promotes bad dental hygeine. Last thing you need is having to see the dentist in a post apocalyptic world. Hey, at least there will be no lines right? - If you have a female zombie chasing after you, just shoot her. You will never hear the end of it if you don't. - Always shoot animals, even if you have no way to obtain their meat. Take that PETA! - Contrary to popular belief, the Makarov does NOT shoot spit wads, so try to resist shooting your friends with it. Okay..... go ahead. - Always take what you find, ammo and all. That way, when you find a gun, you always have extra ammo. And then, can make a line of the un-needed ammo for one specific reason. (See third(3) Do/Don't)

Good idea mate, beans for you. Most tranqs are fired from an airpowered gun, mainly CO2

Tractor @ 35mph into a tree. Wreckless driving. Nuff' said.

So, get this, grenades and items that... LAND WHERE YOU THROW THEM! I'm sure this has been talked about, and I'm not sure where the developement of it stands in the SA... but shit seriously needs to start landing where I fraking throw it. Other day, tossed three red smokies in cherno firehouse while climbing down the stairs, to make a clean get away from another, very un-friendly player. Where do those smoke grenades land? Well my friends... they land... nowhere near where I tossed them! They ended up teleporting through the floor, and plant themselves firmly in the ground outside, about 10m away, in a nice little triangle. Some may claim that this is a problem with the Arma 2 engine, and not the mod itself. Well, I have played all of Arma 2's campaigns, and all of OA's campaigns, and never had a single problem with smoke grenades. The entire throwing system needs to be revampped. Not sure how or in what style, but I'm tired of the little circle we get, and the two second time frame to choose how far it is thrown. Simple fix could be to take away the circle, and add a trajectory line that fades after 5-6m (so no gung ho, NFL Quarterback, 100m grenade tosses), and this trajectory line will move up/down depending on how long you hold the LMB. This way, people can choose to throw something just as far, but the throws would have just the same accuracy at long ranges as the circle, but paths would be a little easier to predict. Placement would still be key, trajectory just much easier to figure out. Also, add much more immersion to the items themselves. Hate to bring up the CoD bullshit, but their grenade system is spot on when it comes to being realistic. You toss a grenade, and it'll bouce off walls, same with smoke grenades. DayZ and A2, not so much. We need more bouncing Devs!

I am tired of all these b/s private hives and the horrid admins. Idk if it is just my luck of the draw or what, but I'm through with it. Last non-list private hive I played on, up and switched to Wasteland (yuck), so I lost my full gear out. That was awesome! lol So, I have read great things about Balota Buddies, and have never tried them out once. Going on seven months of play so far B) Can anyone give me specific details about the community? I couldn't find much in the way of server rules on the site, and I really don't wanna play and break any rules. I haven't whitelisted yet, because I have yet to download teamspeak 3, and do not have a mic because mine decided to crap out last night >:( . What are certain rules people that are new to the server should know? Anything different about the community? How about the playstyle? In game content? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am going to have a challenge, I have never used TS, for anything. lol

JESUS H, I don't get what people do not understand in the OP. Every time someone wants a laptop, desktops come up. It is mind boggling. HE DOES NOT WANT A DESKTOP. @OP. That suggested setup in the OP should play DayZ just fine.

In World War II, the Enfield was used with amazing effect as a sniper rifle.
