Did he? What did he see? I didn't understand very well what they were saying, the accent was too strong (no offense) :|

Definetly that. People need to stop jumping to conclusions without looking for reasons!

Maybe the person running lagged out and the dude that killed you was there by a coincidence or he spotted you and went there. ;)

Just died of heart attack, incredibly stupid

Turn it off, wait 5 minutes and turn it on again ...But wait, you can drown yourself? :|

Great idea! This way I can post on Facebook "ANYONE IN CHERNO?"

It's weird, because everytime I hear a shot my character's pants immediately get that Damp status. Must be a bug or something...

Not giving a shit to cars. Giving 10.000 shits to bikes. Like, really; they were the best vehicle back in the mod... silent and fast Oh, and the 70% you spend running from town to town, you'll spend double fixing a car :thumbsup:

Barns = 100% gun guarantee. A SKS, Izh or a B95. EVERY time.

Sometimes, I ask myself why no one plays at night. But that kinda works good for me, because it gives me the best experience I could get in any game. One day I decided to play at a night server with only two other guys that were in the server before and I wasn't talking to anyone in Skype/Teamspeak, I wasn't having any kind of human interaction. I'm posting this here because I wanted to share with you guys the feeling I get, the atmosphere, of this experience. DayZ is a game based on a zombie outbreak, an apocalypse that would desolate most of the population in the world. That means that people wouldn't be that common; they would actually be pretty damn rare. And I think that the main feeling that this theory brings up is the sensation that you're alone in the wide world beyond. Many people believe that the atmosphere of the game is based on the tension of thinking that someone could just appear and shoot you, the tension of the high possibility of people being very close at anytime. Sometimes it definetly is tense, but deep down it warms your heart. Human interaction, it does warm your heart, yes. And in a good way. You feel accompanied, even if anyone can be a potential threat. You don't feel alone. Please, read the following part with attention. Imagine that you're the only person in the world. Imagine that you are the only human that exists; and that there is a small possibility, really, really small possibility that there is someone else out there, thinking the same as you. Imagine you're having all these thoughts at the top of a building in the city you used to live, or at the apartment you used to sleep in, while the cold night freezes your body. You would feel alone. Pay attention to the dead and desolated landscape. There is nothing living... (Increased the gamma to take the screenshot so the landscape is visible) Yes, alone. You would feel like there is no one else in the world, every scenario would just taste dead. Not just that, but the darkness from the night would make it even worse. From this point of view, now imagine how would it be to actually find someone. You walk in the town, only breathing the monotonous and solitary atmosphere from that night, and suddenly, far far away, deep down in somewhere not near you, you see the light of a flashlight. Believe me, this feels amazing. After so much time alone in this world, you finally find someone. But this time you get mixed feelings: As I said before, even when a person is a potential threat, it is heart warming to see someone after so much time isolated. The feeling I got when I saw the flashlight in the middle of the woods was amazing. One of the two other guys on Chernarus was actually there. Then, while I tried to approach, before he could even notice me, his light entered the woods and disappeared. I even tried to search for him, but he was too far away. While I was in the woods looking for him, I also noticed a new presence of this atmosphere I've been talking about so much: this time scarier. It's not like it is horrifying, it again, feels like I'm alone. But this time in the woods. Looks to the trees in the deep, how involving they are. There could be anything behind them... And this feeling of being alone all the time amazes me. Nothing makes me feel like this, but the cold nights in Chernarus. It doesn't get boring, at least not for me; actually it is a scary and solitary feel. I kept imagining how would it be if he actually saw my light, but he just disappeared, and the hope was gone again, bringing, one more time, the feeling that I am... you know. Alone. And this word that I've been marking in bold so much is what I think that creates the atmosphere that envolves the whole DayZ experience for me. I don't think that going on a 40/40 server on balota airfield would feel like the true DayZ, just because the tension of getting shot at is present. The tension is always a part of the game, yes. Anything can be found in a not so long time, even somewhere with almost no one. Even in the extreme North, I found people in this kind of empty night hives. Coincidence? Maybe. Anything can make you tense here, even a dead body on the floor (on a land that barely has three people), like this one: I think that Chernarus has many more secrets than just the tension of firefights. And those secrets, Chernarus only shares with the ones who are audacious enough to try it out. It is a feeling that I don't know how to describe, but people, try it out. Just once, maybe. It may sound boring, but search for this atmosphere, go for it. At the end, it is not boring. At the end, DayZ is not just about day time. It is amazing how this game can make you feel so alone.

Magnum + Izh or B95 + Cowboy Hat + Aviators = you beat the game So yeah, the magnum wins.

Some countries could ban the game on them, that's the only thing I'd be worried about. Other than that, I support the idea; but cannibalism is not just eating other people. There are several biological facts to be considered...

If it's a man, kick his balls. If it's a girl, don't let her kick your balls.

You could contact the TMW, maybe they'll help you out

Scientists have discovered through long researches that not giving a shit saves 30 minutes of your life everytime you do it.

I'm REALLY hoping they add fireplaces. They were the biggest atmosphere builders back in the mod. At least for me... Oh and flares too! -
Did he have a ballistic helmet? It blocks some bullet penetration

You've never played the mod, did you? -
"Killer rocks" - we need to have a talk.
