Yeah I keep my Makarov for quite some time, especially before the patch that enabled you to combine Revolver/1911 ammo. It's fantastic as a zombie killer, and as you say the ammo is plentiful. Typically, I'll use the Makarov whilst I'm travelling north looting barns etc then when I reach camp I switch to a Revolver.

Let's face it the shock thing doesn't work because people just switch to an empty/low pop server, wait out the 5minute timer whilst making a cup of coffee/going for a smoke then simply go back to the server they were on. It's no doubt been suggested before, but is there no way that a player model can remain in game for a limited time (1-2min?) after they log off, which would then prevent them from reconnecting on another server. Server hoppers and death avoiders sorted? I'll be the first to admit, I have absolutely no idea how or indeed IF you can implement this within the current engine..just an idea..

Just happened again MarkeR mate

Anyone know when the next wave of Battleye bans are? Encountered hackers every night I've played for the last 4 days. Obviously nothing can put a complete stop to this, but it seems a little out of control right now. You only have to look on youtube to see hundreds of videos advertising/giving instructions for DayZ and ARMA hacks. I've been playing long enough to not get attached to any items, but I cant remember the last death I had that was legit...

Looks like a piece of the tree to me.

Because you logged out in such a ridiculously unsafe place? He was probably on the roof too and just shot you when you appeared.

I was walking the dog the other day and heard some flies that sounded exactly as they do in game with a dead body...yes I did check the area for a corpse but there wasnt one, must of been a bug.

There were waayy too many cans of food and drink around before this patch. I think it's a good move (if it is indeed intended) as it encourages you to hunt and will make places with fresh water supply more contested just as they would be in the event of an actual apocalypse.

So many of the suggestions here all come down to not wanting to die and lose your position/gear. That is exactly what makes this mod so fantastic to me, it actually seriously affects your gameplay when you die! I'm awaiting the suggestion OMG I DIED, I CAN HAZ RES???? To quote the DayZ 'About' page on the website; "Requirements: Balls"

Anyone else have no issues with waits on character loading screen? I wait at most 20seconds every time....

Would like a Steam invite too please! Steam name is "daveh"
