Your words and spacing make my BRAIN hurt. I read as much of your post before my nose started bleeding and you've got a noble concept there. However; you're dealing with human beings. They are varied, motivated by things that many can't comprehend and you cannot control them. If more people played this way then the world would be a better place...and then we could stop all the wars and all drink lemonade.

Luckily....running.

Had it a couple times now since the patch. Nothing special about the kills; one with a magnum, one with an FNX. Put someone down and they're gone in 60 seconds. Bad news for snipers :P

This will be it's own game and it'll have it's own moments :D That being said, this sounds like a good load to add to the bucket list for Dayz. Currently on the bucket list for tonight....run north until I pass out.

Just recently saw my first hacker. Absolutely certain. Some french guy killed someone with an M4 at close range. I watched this happen from about 200-250m away. Not sure what went down but the guy who got shot went down and I looked back up, the M4 french hacker looked in my direction and then started blipping towards me, about 50m at a time. Within seconds he was right in front of me, M4 in my face. I got my hands up and he eventually left me alone with a ruined cola. I asked him about the hack but he didn't seem to speak much english. I didn't have bugger all, so i guess he didn't wanna waste the ammo. I know it's a frustrating issue and it seems like there's a lot that could be done to resist it. However, you have to know it annoys the developers as well, and I'm sure they're doing everything they can to fight it without screwing up the game as it is.

This one speaks truth. I had the same issue. Had it a few times actually. Don't worry about the avatar on the main menu screen, or even if you log in and it says you're dead. 9/10 you just change servers til it all comes back to you. Try to stick with official servers. Seems like all the servers with weird rules (like no pvp, no military loot, night-time deathmatch, etc) like to spawn you in fresh.

I gave you beans...but it doesn't look like you need any more.

+1 to OP for avatar. Not necessarily for content...

A good idea, but I'd tuck this one away for now and bring it back up in a year or 2 :P

Not even clothes.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not some KOS, lone wolf misanthrope. I'll talk to peeps. Help some peeps, hold up others. Player interactions are a core part of the game after all. But sometimes I just want someone's beans. Or sometimes I'm ferrying prime loot to a fresh spawned friend and I don't have time to chat. I like to rest by the shore in electro/cherno, hum to myself and pretend I'm fishing. Occasionally I'll shout gibberish at people like a hobo. But no matter what I do, or how I act, I will not trust people in this game.

I've had polite people kill me when my back is turned and I've had a 3-man camo squad bandage me when I was a new spawn,then they gave me a water bottle and then shot me dead. Do not trust anyone.

When trying to deal with players in this game, it helps to remember that they are not, strictly speaking, people. They are remorseless, immortal avatars of people. They exist in a world that is defined by the equipment in their inventory. Do not trust anyone.

Having this server issue. Sometimes, about 20% of the time, I can't see any servers, or maybe 1 or 2. I've been patient and waited for them to refresh while I read a book. I'm guessing after 15 mins it's not happening. When I do get into a server atm,I get the bug where you can't pick up or interact with anything. Not inventory or world objects. Can't even rest or select an item or weapon. Basically I'm locked out of the game for now. Looked about for answers and solutions...no cigar. I am enjoying the game though (when I can get in) so I guess I'll wait til it works again.

I checked all the controls before i got in the game and had a good idea of what to expect/do. I went to the first building I found and got a compass (yay) then I came out the building and a guy in full camo gunned me down with an M4 from about 50m away. C'est la Dayz.

I didn't mean rooftops, I said the upper floors of certain buildings. Not all of them.

I don't make videos unfortunately. :( Also this was one of my first plays, so I didn't really know what I was doing. Didn't think about fighting, just hid until he found me, then ran. He cut me a few times and I passed out when he ran away, but I lived :D I'm so glad for players like that screaming german psycho clown. He makes this game.

It's a little too early for modding. Let's have this discussion in 15 years,

I avoid these places as well. I don't believe loot spawns there. Also avoid the top floors of certain buildings.

I've had this twice in the last 2 weeks. It is NOT desync. It's a bug that persists, tried multiple solutions and loads of servers. (mostly low ping, low population) The only solution I found is to log into a server with about 20 people in. Ping seems irrelevant. If it happens you can still play with your inventory, but you can't see what you've done until you log in next time. So don't play with your inventory. Try to select an item. If that doesn't work exit server and try another. Eventually you'll join one that works and the bug goes away...for a while. P.S. when this bug occurs you can still be hurt by zombies, but you won't see it happening, if the server has this bug for you then don't spend too long there. Good luck.

Do whatever feels right at the time. KOS has its place, but sometimes a different approach may help more. And don't tar everyone with the same brush.

Money does not equal immediate progress. They've brought us this amazing game and it's only going to get better. Be patient and let them bring in the system they want. The idea that throwing money at games makes them better is something the mainstream games companies need to get over before it destroys them and/or the industry. And people should not be encouraging them.

The other evening I came round a wall at the main airfield and a guy was at a far corner of the wall, rifle raised and crouching,not looking at me. I lined up the psu scope, zeroed to 50 and caught him clean in the side of the helmet. When I checked him, all his head gear was ruined and so was everything in his chest. Trousers and backpack were fine. I just don't know how this works.

I had a German guy chase me around screaming in one of my first spawns. He was wearing a Huxton mask, yellow raincoat and no trousers and he had a knife. One of my first spawns, I was terrified and he chased me around a town for about 10 mins before I found an axe and he ran off into the forest. If I knew then what I know now :P Would have turned around and KO'd him with my meat claws. So yeah,don't trust guys like that one.

Actually, I do use the mosin with long scope in game, and I'm very friendly. It's the long distance recon I need it for. If they had binoculars I probably wouldn't even need a primary gun.
