Cheers! Have to say it was pretty funny. For once zombies saved my ass. Before I took these pics whoever was in the helicopter landed outside and tried to come into the store to get me ... But they got swarmed by zombies and ran back inside the gunship. They spent a while shooting at the building from above before trying to get me through the window. It was at that point I made my excuses and left.

Great vid!

I can only speak for myself, but I just find the whole 'shoot on sight' thing tedious. There's a million, billion games out there that do that sort of thing, most of them much, much better than DayZ. I mean, PvP Battlefield 3 v PvP DayZ. It's not even in the same league. And I believe the only people who will argue with that are those who want an uneven contest. But realistic combat! I hear you cry. Well, Arma II, I answer. Try it. You'll really dig it. However, to get back on topic .... Look at the scenario the OP outlined. That guy with an m1911 and a can of beans is just as equipped to survive as the guy with a FAL and an Alice Pack. But maybe what he lacks is other gear or med supplies. Well, here's a thought - team up with the better geared guy and go get them. DayZ is a great game, but it's exponentially better when you do it in a group. Then maybe you could find a vehicle and repair it. Set up a base. Go hunting for other groups and have a big ole shoot out. You know ... fun stuff. But to skulk about the streets of Cherno playing solo deathmatch - or even worse, to sit on a tall building and snipe those playing solo death match in Cherno - seems to me like being given the keys to a lambourghini and spending the day practising reverse parking. It smacks of ... a lack of maturity. A certain ... deficiency of imagination, if you will. But hey, swings and roundabouts. It's just, like, my opinion, man.

Got into a game. Then out. Then in Now out. Shake it all about, I suppose.

That's pretty shitty behaviour. What were the explosions at the start?

Because it's a wretched hive of scum and villany? I mean that as a compliment.

No, you can not selling item in DayZ.

And yea, it came to pass - Should have mentioned I got myself shot on my way back north to get more supplies. Doesn't bother me, though. The real fun in DayZ comes from getting gear after starting with nothing. And as soon as I'm geared I'm doing it again!

That's why I made damn sure I only apporached unarmed guys.

Matches spawning is borked. They should be one of the most common items - IE in every house - but they are as rare, if not rarer, than morphine. Also, why can't flares be used to light fires?

Oh, such bollocks in this thread. The single defining characteristic of every disatser the human race has faced, from the bubonic plague to Hiroshima, is that we've all pulled together to get out of it. And don't give me crap about society just being a paper-thin tissue over a cesspool of violence and bloodshed. When you strip away human nature to its basest form, you're left with a guy in a grey shirt holding a clipboard who's making sure that all the boxes that should be stacked at site A, are in fact being stacked at site A - with a couple hidden round the back for him and his mates.

OP, I feel your pain. Got myself shot last night, losing a ton of gear and a 150-zed kills character in the process. I didn't even see the guy, but made a noob's mistake of going into a barn when I really didn't need to, and when I had suspicions that someone was about. But you've got to realise - this IS what DayZ is all about. It's a PvP game. You are trying to survive against zombies AND other players. You didn''t get shot for no reason - you're a walking resource bank. That's the way the game is designed, and it's not going to change. Now, you can either join in and shoot on sight, stop playing, or learn to avoid other people like the plague unless it's a group you've formed outside the game. It's a shame, I know. A lot of us want to play a "Walking Dead" version of DayZ where a canny and quirky group of survivors band together to take on a zombie-infested landscape and have all sorts of adventures together. Amazingly, it DOES happen 1 time out of 100 encounters, and it's fun as all hell ..... But it's extremely rare. At the moment, there are few tools in-game for people to co-operate, and a hell of a lot of tools for them to do the opposite. Plus, people are dicks, and the majority of them have come from FPS shooters where the sole aim is to kill other players. You're asking them to go against decades of conditioning.

[attachment=1663]Assuming tis guy is cheating. He's called dedsemen (???yuck!) and he spawned nearby me with full ghille suit, sniper gear on the coast while I was looking for noobs to help. Not sure, but would his tag really read (sniper) and not (survivor)? Anyway, he took one shot at a noob then disappeared. I assume he was also server-hopping. What a hero.

AH - wasn't sure. Only time I've seen someone with a sniper tag was in the editor.

Now that I think about it, with 0 kills - numerically, I'm winning. I welcome the chase. But you've got a long way to catch up, boy.

Dude, I hate to break it to you, but there's been 1,113,042 murders since DayZ launched. To put that in perspective, with 62 kills, you've contributed 0.0055703199% of that total. You have to get three digits below zero before you even get noticed. Less than zero .... Less than zero ... makes you think, eh? Basically, telling us how many steaks you had eaten or cokes you've drunk would have the same relevance. For the record, I've killed 0. But you don't see me bragging about it.

Can't .... pull....trigger...... [attachment=1595] [attachment=1596]I don't think we're getting out of here ....

Bravo, that chap!

Gentlemen, know your enemy: Case 1 Yosdiel: "as50 46 murders and counting.. i really hope to see u in my scope, u wont have a chance to dc for ur friends to help u ;( cry about it.. ur post is a mass hypocritical rage!! u complain about snipers hunting while u r dcing to dodge death... rage more plix plox its entertaining.." Here, we have a CoD kiddie, attracted to DayZ because it gives the highest reward (permadeath of the target) for the least skill (sniping) with the smallest risk (being 500x metres away). As an added indication of their arrested development, note how this person is also a moron - indicated by their inability to express themselves with the proper use of spelling and grammar. Case 2 Slyguy65: "DCing from snipers, snipers complaining. Its funny". A cheat.

It's limited ... carries only 20 shots rounds and the night scoped version is useless during the day, making it a PvP night weapon, really. If you're a night player-hunter, then yah - it's the best weapon. If you're a lone wolf survivor who fights a lot of Z, not so much.

Fixed that for you, bro.

But ... Pixie Lott's tits!
