This. This is not WarZ, lol if you want a casual arcade experience, by all means go play that or Nether or Rust or some other crappy wanna-be survival game. DayZ is meant to be an anti-game, and not a casual nor friendly experience. If you can't handle that, don't let the door hit you on the way out. I fully support no auto run key.

Thanks Mom. I'll remember that next time our usual server is down and I join on my friends through Steam.

There was music when you died on the mod if I recall correctly. I think that'll come in one of the very last updates as it's not a priority.

Also this. When you vomit you pretty much empty your water and food levels. Need to replenish ASAP.

lol you're screwed.

wat.jpg.avi.gif.mp3.rar I've been hit with the timer on several occasions. Join a server with an admin who only wants his clan in that auto kicks people without the tag? Boom. Timer. Server disconnects or times out and you need to rejoin it or another one? Boom timer. Friends log in so you go to switch to your hardcore character to play with them? BOOM TIMER.

Over 100 hours inland. 5 total players seen.

This. I have plenty of shooters to play. It irritates me when I'll call to my friends that I see another player and they instantly go "OMG LETS KILL HIM"... like go play Counter-Strike or Battlefield, shit I'll even join you, but DayZ is not meant to be a free for all deathmatch fuckfest.

Sometimes when players lag or the server lags or whatever, people will look to continue running in a straight line even though they may have stopped. This includes going through walls, fences, buildings, etc. Also, the people who do mess up the experience for others don't hack shit. They cheat or use scripts. There is a monumental difference between hacking, scripting, and cheating.

They will never do that. Most youtubers and streamers make the game look like a deathmatch with perma-death. As long as people keep "YOLO LOL"'ing into cities and playing on the coast yelling at kids to square up and fight each other on sight like it's mortal kombat, this will never change. I enjoy playing up north west but the lack of players is sometimes extremely disheartening. I've seen maybe 5 people up north in my over 100 hours of gameplay.

Seriously though, at least they were creative. Coulda just killed you outright, gotta respect that. Although the laughing like kids wasn't very bandit-like.

As Tizzle said, I was in no way trying to be a douche. Feel free to play how you want, but there is a clear distinction between being a bandit, and being a "kill everybody" sniper. I personally prefer interaction over random killing, you may not - not judging you. Nice shooting by the way.

That's why I sometimes visit the Infestation Survivor Stories forums. It's 100% bitching 100% of the time. And people who were caught cheating so obviously who claim they've never cheated. Oh man it feels good to watch.

This thread got too funny lol

Lol you're one of those. "I do it because I can. Therefore it's ok." Scum.

Title was confusing, thanks for clearing that up.

News for you pal, that's not being a bandit, that's being a KOS sniper. The easiest way to play the game.

Oh well since every single youtuber and streamer says so......

Hrrrmmmm???

Just take them. :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

This line alone earned you my beans. Welcome to the game alpha, and welcome to the forums!

As far as I know they fixed this? But no it doesn't let them keep their gear or anything. Just doesn't allow you to take their ruined shit off their bullet-riddled corpse.

Edited.

The fact that the devs went out of their way to add more character customization in terms of appearance gives me hope that this stupid thing won't make it into the SA. Half the fun is assessing players around you and determining whether or not players are friendly. If you run in "HURR DURR" to every situation, you are GOING. TO. FUCKING. DIE. If you play smart and scout a town before entering or watching someone before you approach, your chances of survival, not surprisingly, increase. Imagine that!
