Custom skins? One can dream

I always make it my priority to run through a hospital before I head inland. I just grab 4 or 5 and stuff it in my bag.

I just shoot my load in their face

No he didn't, he got out-exploited. And he's not a 'carebear'. So great post, well done! :) youre a genius! youre the smartest person in the world! you are not ugly! you are not an idiot! you are not a carebear!

Run no matter what they say. They will kill you anyway 19 times out of 20

Not only survive better, but raid cities, have a laugh or two, repair a car, fly a heli. It's much more authentic when you are playing with an actual survivor you met in game, otherwise the feeling of "can I trust this person" just isnt there. And just because you group up with someone for a couple days doesnt mean you can't shoot them in the back anymore. Doesn't co-op look like so much fun?

It's just random

You gotta go on steam or the survivors section of this forum and make a group before you actually make a group in the game.

The posts arent anti-pvp. The post is about how its only pvp for every encounter. The only solution, as suggested, is to get a group on skype before hand. But you know you can trust them. If you formed a group in game, you wouldnt know if you could trust them. But in reality you cant form a group in game because its just kill kill kill.

I communicated with a guy I spotted and asked if he wanted to group up. He said yeah so I took my iron sights off of him, waited for 2 minutes, and he said things like "Yo buddy you still there?" "Where are you lets go get a vehicle." and I went down the ladder and met up with him. As I we ran off towards the main road, he shot me in the back with his silenced mp5. And I died instantly.

I killed a zombie with an m1911 through a wall. It was more like the door frame but it definetly went through.

I was at my tent with steaks, i had 4k health, not bleeding, no players around and I just rolled over, got the hourglass timer for 4 seconds and died instantly. I lost my acog m16a2 and my g17 and tons of gear, i was alive for 5+ days, maybe 20 hours, and to see my character die for no reason really makes me angry and frustrated. /vent inb4 alpha

I disagree with the above. You dont have the wrong version. You are on a server that is not 1.7.1.5 But that doesnt necessarily mean its the wrong version. In my opinion 1.7.1.5 servers have the wrong version.

LOL @ attracted to the smell of gunpowder and silenced ammo not being silent. I suggest massive hordes of zombies. A Horde so large, it will take multiple players with military grade weapons to kill them.

I think it would be a neat little addition to dayz if you extended the time window to cancel the morphine injection. You are able to cancel the morphine animation for about 2 seconds. The last 3 seconds you are unable to cancel. This would make it more life like in my opinion. I went into a supermarket and in the back rooms was a guy crouching in the corner with an axe. As I begin to ask if he is friendly he starts swinging his axe and I kill him. I go into the next room, many zombies come, and my bones broke when a few of them attacked through the wall. The zombies die, and I begin using morphine and another zombie comes up. I cancel the morphine animation a little less than halfway through and kill the remaining zombie. As I bandage myself and then use the morphine, I hear something crawling towards the door. I see it is a player with an ak drawn in the grass, I start moving to cancel the morphine, repeatedly mashing the movement keys and fire weapon button. But it wouldnt cancel. And he killed me. If the animation was able to be canceled the whole way through, I wouldve killed him easily and kept my equipment. Thanks for reading!

LOL @ thinking its hard to survive for 31 days.

There doesn't need to be incentives for co-operation. Co-operation is an incentive in itself.

Starts out pretty creepy....ends on a classic dayz scenario. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OICU6G1ZA2c&feature=relmfu

You may have been sniped. It's happened to me before. People with night vision goggles often play on night servers for the sole purpose of killing players in the dark. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

I found a truck at north west airfield, all it needed was a tire and 4 jerry cans and it was perfect. Although I only had it for 40 minutes it was the best time I've ever had. I found it at near the end of my playtime, so I stashed it deep in the woods, saved it, and logged off. Next day it was gone along with my ak, cz550, countless mags, and steaks, all in the trucks storage.

This wont go over well with most of the community. It severly limits the game and what 90% of people exclusively do in dayz. I suggested bringing back bandit skins, but I got only hostile replies and posts about how the original bandit skin makes them "A beacon" and "a 25 ft flashing arrow above bandits heads" These are the same people that will defend their ridiculous advantage that makes one aspect of gameplay nearly impossible. It's also one cause of the "never ending cycle" as mentioned above.
