Survivor-Kyle

One or two could possibly spawn inside, yes. But they will walk and it's just one or two of them. It's not a super high zombie spawn site.

I found a tent inside the Electro fire station, so I'm pretty sure they'll go up indoors.

Why not fortify the barn outside Electro at 097,133? It eliminates most sniper issues due to having a roof, it's near a major city, quite defensible, and you can pitch tents inside it. or in Cherno the barn at 070,122.

Good read, better news. That infection will not kill you. Not ever. It will lower your max blood, but it won't claim you. Antibiotics pop up every now an then (in fact, a guy posted the other day that he had 3 packs.. you may want to search this thread and PM him). Just stay alive until a pack surfaces.

It was bound to happen, griefers using server hoping and ghosting to kill everyone. Just let things rest for an hour or so and restart. Tally ho chaps (I think that's encouraging in British...?)

It isn't contagious due to decomposition, it's contagious because the player who died was already contagious. This honestly affects ~1% of the bodies out there, but I think it'd add a neat dynamic.

You couldn't, that's the point. Maybe inspect, but by that point it'd be too late.

The point is to stop thinking of it as a shooter or loot collecting game and do whatever you want. There are hundreds of threads discussing this topic.

This thread is an example of why DayZ is so great. Because people like yall can make an improvised fort, in the middle of a freefire zone, and try to defend it. I bet everyone, bandit and survivor alike, is having a blast.

OP, don't you think that a public listed kill counter might encourage endless griefing in the name of claiming the "Bandit King" title?

The sick part is that he never actually lets it spawn. Just adds it to the table as "ultra rare".

Not really, people just need stuff to do. Rocket should add a massive zombie hoard on some island and start a rumor that a howitzer spawnes there. Give people something to do, and they won't grief noobs.

It could be because of the growing number of medics extending people's worthless lives.

I think you have a lot of people who get frustrated because, while the game is easy once you figure out the mechanics, if you remember back to when you were new, it was fucking difficult. You have no weapon, you know where nothing is, and you die every 5 mins. That player then goes into a city, finds another player, who claims to be 'Friendly'. The new player, who still has nothing (or possibly some shit-tier rubber-band-gun) and they get shot in the face anyway. For no reason. That player, will come here and bitch about it, and I'd say they are somewhat justified. Hell I had a bitch/moan thread Last Night, because I was being raped by game bugs and someone shot me in the face after we chatted briefly in the Electro church. I clearly had nothing of use to him, and I had the drop on him and still chose not to kill him. He shot me anyway. I was so pissed off because I'd finally found a server that I could play on, and boom, just like that I was toast. The night before that I posted a thread complimenting a player for killing me so skillfully. We forum denizens just see every one of those bitching posts and tend to skim over the non-bitching posts, so it seems more rampant than it really is.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/25560-so-you-are-bored-and-think-the-game-needs-something-endgame-or-new/ Is full of ideas. Basically, you just need to branch out and think of objectives/challenges for yourself. People are setting up corporations, for Christ's sake, don't tell me there's nothing to do.

I'll vouch for him, great guy. I trusted him with my life and he didn't disappoint.

Hit escape and select respawn to suicide. Since you are a fresh spawn and stand to lose very little, I'd recommend doing that. TBH the medic (and you) will likely get sniped before you get saved. There is a bug where you CAN break a leg while crawling over certain terrain types (basically anything not flat ground). It doesn't always happen, but it can. It's generally a good idea to not go prone indoors if you can help it.

NE, SE, NW... Which base?

I broke my leg when I passed out from blood loss in a barn. Lost some blood too, damn near killed me. Some times the game is just all, "Hey, that's a mighty fine looking leg you got there. Imma take it."

I was running along the side of the road today while fleeing from Elecrto. It's possible that I was just hallucinating; I only had 1,600 blood and I was low on food and water. But I swear I looked over my shoulder and saw a survivor running down the road. I froze, proned, and prepared for a very short fire-fight. The other guy kept running in the opposite direction. And then he faded away. Not a gentle into the mist fade. Like a disintegrating chunky fade; it was really strange. He looked grey, but everything does at that blood level. Did I see the ghost of a past survivor?

Last night I was plagued by game glitches and a random Pking that just pissed me off like no other. I was down to 2k blood, couldn't see anything due to graphical glitches, and some asshole was taking shots at me from somewhere (I couldn't see due to the artifacting and it's possible he wasn't being rendered--like half the zombies I encountered) until managed to either scare him off with my serpent run of doom, or he just ran out of ammo. Either way I eventually logged out angry at this goddamedgame. Today I logged in and found that I could actually see Electro. 10 mins and a couple bugs later I was headed out of town with 1600 blood and a sack of medical supplies. I hooked up with a medic (brand new, with no track record, so I had to take him at his word) in the Survivor HQ thread and asked if he could administer a transfusion. We met up, after a couple of set-backs, and now I'm fit as a fiddle. I stocked him with some extra morphine and blood bags and we parted ways. Every time I'm pissed off at this game and ready to just go on a murderous rampage, I meet a helpful player and everything just seems okay. For those of you who shout Friendly and mean it, keep your chins up. You aren't alone, and you do make a difference.

Last night I was playing and the walls of buildings were intermittently not rendering. I could run into them, and they were there, I just couldn't see them. Have you ever turned your monitor off and tried to navigate Electro, it's pretty much like that.

Tanker, do you have some killer gear on you? You may be better off suiciding and starting over. Getting two people up on that death-trap platform is a mighty tall (no pun intended) order.

I've sent out a batch of Steam friend invites as a precursor to adding everyone to the Steam group. If I missed you, give me a shout.

Sorry to hear that!
