I think maybe you spawn with random gear, sometimes nothing but jeans no tshirt or flashlight and other you spawn with cargo pants and a half full can of beans as like the best spawn gear,I think it would make it more interesting s Rather than all spawns in jeans and a tshirt with a flashlight

Ummmmmm..... Combat logging I don't like but it's fine if some people do it for now. If you care about your gear that much... Glitching, what do you mean by that? Like hiding in a wall and scaring the crap outta someone? Sometimes it's fun other times it is a bit far Server hopping, go for it, can gear up in 2 hrs on the same server but if you want to do it in 10mins your loss KoS not my problem should be allowed it is a core mechanic Killing new spawns, mean but not game breaking One you didn't mention ghosting: too far, if you ghost I don't think you should be playing this game Script kiddies/hackers I haven't run into any so far (touch wood) but that is unacceptable IMO What you were saying about private hives, I want 2 main hives (hardcore/regular) and a few Private hives for messing around on. Because private hives mean it is difficult to be a medic

I have 2 unprovoked kills, one was at balota tents, I was pissed off( BS death bout 1hr before) and had just found a pistol, I walk out the tent and shoot 15 rounds into to fresh spawn who was walking into a tent, coulda been hostile, I will never know Other time at NEAF, we think we have seen another player, we head to the last prison building to see what loot we find, I walk into the top room and see another player laying on the ground I panic and shoot them at point blank with a mosin, I then shoot them again and immediately feel horrible I have about 140 hours in game and these are the only 2 times I have killed other player who haven't shot/attacked me first Edit: i have killed others in firefights who havent shot directly at me, but have killed freshspawns or my friends this is probably another 4 i also killed someone to prove a point, about surrendering when asked: I said' i wont shoot im friendly, put your hands up'. He declined (he had an axe on his back) and ran up the road snaking and strafing his way away from me so i shot him at about 80m with my mosin+ PU 1 shot, 1 kill

Just joined a group of players through this forum and had been running with them for about 2-3 hours, server resets so some of us go onto another server but only 2 of 5 can get in. My brother enters my end room and tells me what time I want dinner, I swivel round in my chair tell him, turn back and I am dead, killed by another member of this group all for my mowing w/ long range scope ( before most recent patch) Another annoying death: Day after most recent patch character is reset and I can only find night time servers, so I head to berezino from my spawn in kamyshovo where I found some food a rucksack and a firefighter axe, headed towards building site w/ crane outside of berezino and am shot dead 1 hit KO I was still in my jeans and t-shirt. Good kill by him but still Annoying as I was more or less a fresh spawn another death :P in balota on a server that just rebooted and there is only 3 other players on, in the tents grabbing gear and attachments for my M4 when I have to go to the bathroom, so I go, comeback and it's all fine, I turn around to grab my headset and as I turn back I see another player with an m4 who has just shot me 1 time, I press F2 but as I do it's too late he as already decided to kill me( had I been held up I woulda co-operated) and he shoots me again and it says 'you are dead' Final one Running down the coast to meet a friend giving away gear, I run into a fresh spawn and I give him some food, he follows me so I think whatever and I see another player who is bleeding about 100m away and this fresh spawn is just telling me to kill him,shoot him and I don't KoS so I say no, this other guy comes closer and I go to bandage him. As I do the fresh spawn starts punching me in the head and this guy I am bandaging who has an axe does nothing ( huge idiot) I get knock unconscious, the fresh spawn takes my M4 and shoots the other guy and runs off .... ( w*nker) turns out that the fresh spawn had less than 2hrs in game ( he had typed so I knew his name, then I searched him on steam) kinda my fault for being so unaware, but he bandaging action wouldnt cancel. And as a Medic I don't shoot people unless attacked as it would be counter-productive XD

You: 'You need help with anything?' player shoots you what you shoulda said next: 'maybe some accuracy training?' anyways nice vid, i think that if you have a fire axe then more people would have killed ya... and an M4 even more unfriendlies? but you said you would upload a vid with low level gear

if this is survival of the fittest and only the fittest arent zombies, why would zombies be faster? i thought they would be slower as they are the ill/old/disabled/unfit who couldnt get away from the zombies and becoming a zombie doesnt make you a super-human

This could be a bug, sometimes when unconcious the player stands up even if unconcious, so i am guessing that happened after first/second axe swing

I am glad tbh becuz it means if i cant find this loot so can less others, meaning if you want me dead you gotta chase me with your axe or shoot with your pistol,

You paid £19 for the alpha, beta and full release, same model that was used with Arma 3, and other games like minecraft. As for the engine being flakey i think apart from the lag when the servers get stressed and melee weapons the engine is good, it means we can have a HUGE map like very few other games, the realism aspects are cool, and when there are more firearms thats when weapon mechanics used in the RV engine will come into their own. The engine probably wont be outdated in 1-3years , take CoD same engine for all the games, still runs well you can go back to CoD 4 and it plays fantastically, so the fact the engine will be old in 1-3years wont mean a thing

brilliant guide, as they add more weapons, maybe you could update? for the next patch there is an magnum speedloader along with a shotgun speedloader

quite a cool idea and i can see where you are coming from, the more experienced players of DayZ (mainly those who played Mod/Arma 2) may choose first person only as they are used to it, and those that are new to the game (me) will use 3rd person because it is easier to use. those who are experienced probably arent going for the MUST KILL EVERYTHING approach and are more playing as a survival sim. whereas beginners who have come from CoD, BF3/4 and other FPS games think this is an oppertunity to shoot everything because that is the game. i used to complain about absurd amounts of KoS because i was a noob/idiot but now i feel more experienced i can deal with everybody trying to shoot me, and if i dont want to be shot i go 1st person only or Low pop

So i am playing with some buddies and we are pretty geared (1st week of release 10+hours in) M4's and so we are heading through cherno till we arrive at balota tents after looting these tents we have 4 M4's and1 mosin man. We decideto head to zelenogorsk via the balota airstrip. As we are walking i the trees towards barracks we see shots from ATC and we realise there are a group of 3 squaded up killing freshspawns who have run to the airstrip we feel it is our duty to intervene. 2 of us push up to the left flank of the ATC tower and we see someone on the ladder so we absolutely wreck him as he was geared and part of the squad killing fresh spawns. From here. I push under the concrete fence and am promptly shot :(. Fortunately i get a near spawn and run back by then shit has truly hit the fan the original 3 are dead( we thought) but we fear that some others are on the way turns out one friend shot another and he died. I have ran inside ATC and see someone who i spray down with no remorse. Fro here there is now 4 of our squad here. Then come the other players 2 other M4 guys are shot and its me in the ATC and my buddy with the mosin who is hidden somewhere and then i get killed and go offline. OR ( i cant remember wich was first kill :/) I am protecting my friend who is afk under hospital stairs, i stand at front i spot a guy with an axe, i tell him to back off he takes 2 steps back from entrance but doesnt talk he then advances i keep saying back off or ill shot with my m4, he didnt. Sort of took 2 steps forward then back so i shot him, he had plenty of warnings and i was scared sh*tless

Simple question why do you/people play DayZ? zombies, realism, survival, PvP, PvE, role playing, messing arounds with friends??? Why I gots to know I play for the realism/survival aspect and also do a bit of role play from time to time

okay, i was really interested to see why you guys play this game, and am glad to see its not all: ''i play so i can combat log and piss people off'' or '' i play for PvP and then ghost some fucker who didnt even want to fight me'' thanks - have a nice day :)

I agree with original OP because I am guessing we have a fairly similar play style . I will only hold someone up if I feel threatened, maybe they are 50m away and have an axe, I am obviously not going to shoot I have everything I need, My example I am in berezino, i see a player walk out a house so i say 'stop moving, I'm friendly I won't shoot' as I do this the guy stops says something inaudible down the mic and runs, I 1 shot him with my mosin as he strafes his way down a berezino road( it was a fantastic shot ngl), ' I told you to stop buddy' I say over his dead body. I was going to offer the muppet food, I had literally given 1 other person food 30seconds ago right round the corner, in act my friends were still round the corner with the other guy I had given food to

i do like these ideas and if you spawn with a half empty water bottle its not exactly overpowered, the second idea about more random spawns, yeah i kinda agree but at the moment there is apparently a story as to why you spawn on the coast.... you were on a boat which crashed, you navigated your way safely out the boat using the flashlight you found in your room, you then wake up on a random beach of a random place something along those lines, its a pretty bare story so if you could spawn in more places like Novy( already a spawn?), guglovo, polana, Msta, Nadezdihno etc it would be good i agree

you must be new here, every Tom, Dick and Harry has made a thread about sanity, mental state whatever you want to call it, even me a while ago, so i dont know if you did but use the search function for key words please

oh you'd be suprised, 36/40 player server i went for a lonely stroll through cherno not 1 person ( i am serious no one), 6 player server, i am in balota close to the tents like 150m (shot in the face as i turn around to speak to my brother, yeah i know, the people on low pop servers generally are doing what you are doing there, looking for gear where there is no one else

yeah i dont know where your based but if you want to get gear either kill/hold people up for it or go on a server that is in a diff country, i live in UK and i play at around 6-10pm so i play on central US/ west US servers where everybody is away so most servers are empty if i want gear or sometimes i find low pop GB servers ( if i want gear/am doing medic run if not i go on a 20-40player server) also for me i now have 105hours so finding gear is second nature after a death, for example in my most recent life, i spawned just south of berezino (luckily) ran to construction site, fire axe + full size back pack, by the time i am finished in berezino i have played between 20mins and 45mins i have plenty of food and water and am at the healthy status and i have a magnum w/ ammo

un fortunately the servers arent allowed to be a 'no KoS, or PvE only' as they are only public hives so yeah, too bad on you though, has happened to me a few times aswell

I want more items that are useless, i want to walk into a kitchen and find pizza cutters, spatulas, pot, pans etc, i want to walk into a bedroom and find there mouthguard theyre old walled shinpads etc... I want to be able to find items i cant use but will be nice to have simply to add to the spawn tables and realism. this is a stupid idea, but i want it ingame

So i searched the forums and didnt find any threads like this What i would like is for more people to take up the idea of roleplaying. We already have enough psychotic sadist murderers and i want people to become a character, give yourself a story? Be a hero, medic, a REAL bandit, murderer friendly bambi helper, coast guard etc... Give yourself something to do once you reach "endgame" maybe get an M4 go to cherno kill 4 people then die so you canstart a fresh, rather than take extra ammo take extra food? I am doing this, my next life i am going to say i am not allowed into any military areas such as vybor/kabanino military base, balota airstrip, NE AF, NWAF so on and i will sit around in kamyshovo shoving beans and soda down the throats of new spawns in my luminous orange raincoat

lets say you are done, you have had all the gear you can get? then what? i really like dayZ so i roleplay when i am done getting all the shit i want, call it a challenge

no i dont, when i see other players or my spidey senses start tingling i go roleplay style, sometimes i am found sitting down after eating my food well have fun being boring :) unlucky :/ oh well, it will only take 20mins to get your gear back as weapons stand, nice line though XD

i dont mean like extreme roleplay, just give yourself a target, i.e. give spare food to new spawns, dont shoot on sight, give medical equipment away etc... i do understand some people dont like it and i can see why, i just want people to choose this over fresh spawn hunting sometimes when they get to endgame which takes up to 1-3hoursw/ no server hopping
