I spawned in Elektro on the hospital roof and waited there to scout it out before i made my move to go loot. A man spawns in front of me with no pants, a mosin, and a stupid down coat. I shot him once in the back with my mosin and he fell down. I shot him again in the back and then once more in the head to make sure he was dead. I went move literally 4 steps forward to loot his body and he stands up, turns around and shoots me in the chest. I shot him once more in the chest and he shot me again in the chest and i died. I hear him bandage and loot my body. What the hell happened here????

This doesn't explain how i shot him 4 times with almost no armor on and he shot me twice with full gear on and i died. I was full health as well.

Is anyone else having huge problems with losing their character since the new patch? I have lost my character over 5 times since the patch hit and lost my character maybe 3 times pre-patch. I know there are different server versions and private/public hives so don't give me that crap. I just want to know if i'm alone.

Its obviously a bug from the new patch. Going to have to wait for another patch before we can play our characters for more than 4 hours.

Glad to see i am not the only one. Maybe ill take a day or two break from dayz to save myself the pain.

I don't understand this at all. This system idea is completely flawed. If someone is a murderous bandit how in the hell are they going to wait a fraction of a second before they grease you? The problem entirely is that players purposefully camp loot spawns to kill other players. Whether they are bored, lack endgame, or want other players loot does not matter at all. The fact is bandit players are going to kill other players and ruin the game for anyone who tries to be a moral hero. Ranking a player on their humanity simply does not work. A good player can get screwed over and a bad player can abuse the system to appear as a god. The question is how can you grant free will but also use limitations to encourage good behavior? Use a system that allows other players to rank each other for being good only and only allow them a few rates a day. Ranking a person for poor performance would only be abused. Players should be rewarded for being good but not punished for being bad.This wouldn't weed out all the bad eggs of course but who would wand a candy land apocalypse where everyone has a merry christmas??? Of course bad players in a group could rate each other and abuse the system, but not if you made it so you could only rate a person one time(use steam ids to disallow multiple ratings from same players)? How the good players are rewarded is beyond me. Speculate.

Im stuck inside a house and i cant lure a zombie to kill me and everytime i join another server im stuck in the same area!

Cannot vault through any wall or window and server switch doesnt help. How can i suicide!?

I really like this idea. I have only played DayZ for 2 days now(didn't play mod) and i have already geared up completely and i just started camping and killing players/hostage looting. I feel like there should be things to do past gearing. Creating vehicles or repairing a town to post up in with friends. Towns could battle each other for supplies and other players would gear up and want to build their own stuff too.
