Sawlstone

I do adventure, actually I had no room to loot anything and didnt need any ammo food or water. I was heading to places I had not been(ie. all the mountains on the map). Kinda looking for easter eggs or neat things not in the mod. I have yet to be victim of a bug/glitch so thats what I meant by being lucky:)

I guess I have been lucky up till now.....I love legends. I am walking a little funny, and now I see dead people but other then that I'm good to go.

What server you on Johnny? Because I am gonna transfer immediately.

There are more then a few good people out there. They just can be heard over the sound of suffering and pain since it echoes louder then anything else. Its a sad, cruel, scarey world in the eyes of the media.

I'd like to think that when facing a common enemy strangers would be more helpful to one another then they are in DayZ. The moment the zombie apoc is contained thats when the real hell breaks loose.

It can happen in gaming, Guild Wars 2 has footprints as well as Skyrim. Skyrim allows you to toggle it on or off. But for the terms of what OP is describing I don't think that is possible yet.

Do you happen to know how many .357's I need to throw at someone to kill them? Because I haven't seen one bullet yet.....

Errr, bad spot eh? Last time I checked there are no safe zones. So wouldn't everywhere be bad? I feel your pain OP. The people that replied above me are the same kids that would do that because they are entitled too, or so they think ;)

Actually that very same rock has from this evidence a major glitch in the terrain. I spawned in that area and went to the top of the rocky outcrop to scout and started sinking through the rocks. I was not falling very fast and it took a few seconds but it killed me. I wouldn't be surprised if this person was being a good Alpha tester and trying to duplicate it and get an idea of where the problem is with the mesh. I have been waiting to respawn in that location to try myself, but by seeing this maybe a bug report has already been filed.

I'd like to have a simply running clock that shows the amount of time survived on a character. it reset on death. It can be forum based or in game where we can proudly say we've been surviving the Zombie apoc. There is no reason why bandits couldn't take trophies in game. I mean the whole clip an ear off of your kill and where it around your neck has been done in several movies/shows. Or it could be a collection of eyeballs(gross) . I'm not a bandit, or a killer so its not important for me. But knowing these sickos are running around would make me want to kill them if I ever cross one, and something like this is very immersive since it is something that could certainly happen in an apocalypse.

I hope soon, I have the same problem.

Having an ability to create armbands or buffs would be nice. In my opinion bandits should walk their talk and mark themselves accordingly while us passive agressive types can mark ourselves. I would like a more visual way to identify clans and groups in DayZ personally. I like to sit and watch groups or people and see what they are up too. I would consider helping individuals marked accordingly...or might kill a bandit or 2. Roles of material could be found out in some cities. But ripping pristine clothing into rags could easily yield suitable material for 2-3 armbands or buffs. Markers or paint could be found anywhere since pens are in place.

I am so longing for interaction like this. I am yet to have something other then a timid encounter that involved both of us running like hell. TO me this is what the game of DayZ is all about. The tense moments of seeing someone, meeting them, being wary the whole time about a double cross, the elation of having met someone where you enchanged tales of survival, wish them well on their perspective journey and walk away with some knowledge or a useful trade!!!

Respawn has yet to work for me when I am unconscious.

Great its Lee Boyd Malvo......

Sadly I think the term friendly is now even being misused. It should mean, "Hey I'm friendly! So where are you heading, If I had some beans for you I'd share..." But now it means. (crap someone sees me and I am unarmed)"Hey, I'm friendly don't shoot" (if I only had a weapon...)

So to an extent I think you are right. Zombies need to have more of an impact and I believe in time they will. It will most likely change these shoot first mentalities. So what I meant is that it is not fair in any game for a player to directly have an impact on the enjoyment of anothers game. DayZ is NOT a Player versus Player game. Its a Player versus Zombies, Enviroment and Player game. The problem is that alot of people that come to a game like this and bring their call of duty mentality. They either don't understand or don't consider other players. Keeping this in mind that means players should be able to pay for this game and get what they want out of it. Now don't get me wrong because I understand that pvp is a massive part of what this game is about...but its not what its all about.

If you shoot an unarmed player from a distance you should be punished. This isn't a playstyle. It's griefing. There is no sport in killing deer at a petting zoo.

Its a good idea. Skyrim used that as well when searching chests, cupboards and cabinets. They also had lootable things that were visable. I'd like to see something like this.

I love you guys! I have not used you yet but I definitely see myself doing so. I am looking forward to persistent gear as I hope to be able to donate and do supply runs for a service such as this if your supplies get low.

Hey HC you can sacrifice me anytime. Because when I have died and need to restart in DayZ I usually take a break. My break consists of usually sleeping with my beautiful wife and playing with my dogs on the trails. I'm pretty sure your mentaility will garnish you neither luxury in real life. Enjoy your claim to DayZ fame asshat.

I think it'll start with tents and over time will see larger camps. It'll have to evolve to that or it'll be an issue.

I am way up north all stocked up with ammo and supplies a little ways west of the Train Station and was thinking I was gonna head to Grozovoy Pass. But suddenly I am hit with this feeling of now what? I mean I had a fantastic journey up here, saw some interesting people and avoided chaos. Strangely now, I am hoping I run into someone. I'm lonely now as there are no rabbits to pet or zombies to kill. So do I just turn around and head back? If anyone else is in my boat, what are you doing for 'fun'? p.s. the northern ponds seem to be empty, not sure if that is intended.

There is one NW of Gvozdno or NE of Devils Castle. Well I am striking off East. I figure I will head towards Krasno and just do a loop and see what happens. I'm glad to see some of you in my shoes!

You can find M4 ammo just about anywhere. Don't ever back track unless you are certain of a server reset and there is a spot close by. Use http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus and check location. Police Stations, Airfields and Military sites are obviously the best spots. Police stations are found in larger cities
