I laughed. I cried. I punched a German. Seriously, this kind of story only exists in DayZ...

Suicide is an option that will be added eventually. High priority? Not likely...

I can never say this enough time apparently... GTFO THE COAST!!!! NOW!!!!! IMMEDIATELY!!!!! MOVE IT!!!!!

If this happened more than a week ago, irrelevant. If it happened in the last few days, then you got lucky. He couldve been low health already. Shirt contained no items (i run empty when looting risk zones, with backpack stashed at hiding spot). Headshot with no protection. Or combinations of those. The damage absorption values from items are way whacky at the moment...

All things Zombie is a bit wonky and yet to be fully fixed. The only zombie fix thus far, is their ai adjusting to collisions with each other and players.

I have bad news for those hopes of yours... Sorry, but... Santa isnt real, and more Zombies are incoming REALLY soon. If I were a betting man, I would say that the slow process to total zombie domination will start in less than a month

OR... A bit of reading could save you terrible embarrassment. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/174313-when-is-weapon-damage-being-tweaked/ Anyway, as it is now, headshots or nothing, and even then could take two or more.

Looky. Something to get out of the way. I am not the one who keeps bringing up the sanctimonious bullshit twice per page... Its the anti-KoS group that does that... "In a RL apoc you wouldnt this or that for survival! You are not doing it right! Whaaaaaambulaaaance!" Etc. Im just playing that back at people and saying that, yes, in fact the exact way i play COULD be seen as an extremist form of survival. I have outright and from the start openly said that I play this way because i like it, choose it, and find immense joy in it. That out of the way... Me. Showing my base. Or even my temporary nest for the day. To... YOU?! Seriously man, not even any one of my actual friends who i sometimes play with know THAT piece of info!

OP: on behalf of bad guys everywhere, i sincerely apologize for the extremist level of unprofessional banditry you were subjected to. Please allow me to correct this mistake. If you could please visit my offices, by appointment, located around Lopatino, I am sure we can sort this out in no time. For real though, that was the worst attempt at being a bad guy that I have EVER seen. I would be ashamed of this sort of performance.

Improvised backpack, the improved one... Burlap sack + rope = improvised pack. Then add sticks to it = extra bunch of slots. Also, looks like a bundle of garbage when you see it on a player prone in the grass.

Your character is starving to death. You find a can of beans. I pop up behind you and tell you to give me those beans. Nope, i dont need them right now, but there is a sniper nest with my smell all over it that needs a few more hours of tending and i will need it eventually anyway. You seriously wanna convince me that you will give me those beans, resulting in your death from starvation within the next minute? Naw. Tell you what. I'm gonna kill you before you or me or anyone even knows those beans are there. This is my territory and I will make sure that besides me, nothing but roaches survive... Also, this is my fun! My territory! Pry it from my cold dead hands, and you have earned it! Thats what I enjoy. By the way, im shocked at the lack of creativity from some folks... Youre so attached to your gear, but never do anything to prove it! Here, i will help you out. You log into your favorite server. My, plenty people on today! Better be careful! You logged out about 500m outside the town you call home. You decide that RIGHT NOW you are in need of new bandages, a pack of ammo, and a can of beans. Hell, if you get lucky you might run across that black banadana youve been itching for... STOP. DO NOT GO INTO THAT TOWN YOU IDIOT!!! Make a proper note of your surroundings. I mean PROPER!!! How many trees were EXACTLY 90 degrees left of you at 200 metres? Not sure? Then you werent proper about it! Now that you know the exact blade of grass you were standing on... Drop your backpack. Take EVERYTHING you do not NEED out of your clothes and put in pack. If your pack is full (imo) youre prolly doing something radically wrong... NOW, go do a blitzloot of that town. In and out. Dont dawdle. Dont inventory tetris. Dont grab shit you dont NEED. Get in, get your shit, get out. STOP YOU MORON! Are you SERIOUSLY running a STRAIGHT ROUTE BACK TO YOUR GEAR?!?! NO! Take a slight detour. Make sure youre not followed. NOW go collect your gear and move on. What do you lose if you die? A few pieces of clothing, maybe a pistol, and the X minutes it will take you to megasprint your way back to your PROPERLY stashed gear. Needless to say that an observant player will know the server restart schedules of the servers he frequently plays on and has added to his/her favorite list... What I am getting at is this: if you care sooooooo much about your "hard earned gear" (dont make me laugh) - then PROVE IT! MAKE A GODDAMN EFFORT!!!

The very fact that your character exists, is a direct threat to my survival.We both want/need whatever is available in front of us. My survival trumps your life every single time. There exists no situation that you could possibly model in any game, ever, that would change this. Even in a no-winner scenario where I immediately die upon taking your life - i would do it even if its just out of spite.

Holy batman booties! Its the necro from hell!

Except that I do not care where, when, who, what or how. If you enter my sightline, its your life or mine, here and now. Make your choice. Do I care for your need to have a "validated" death? Nope! The only thing I care about at that exact moment in time, is SOMEBODY getting their face in the dirt INSTANTLY.

Both, however, with MOST moving targets (same as i would with a mouse) i try to lead the target by significant margin and breathe the shot in. Also referred to as waiting on the target. I say MOST moving targets, as 90% of moving shots that i do take are at such insane distances that the horribly modeled 12x zoom makes it impossible to accurately "track and lead" the target accurately. No shooter game that I have played in a VERY long time accurately portrays what I can actually see through a real scope at 800-1000m. Trust me when I say: at 300/400m, i can almost read the time on your watch if i were to pay close enough attention... Depending on specific scopes. At 600 i can still mark you by your face out of a crowd. At 800, your face becomes a little bit lost. Etc etc. Most games ive played ever, at 400m, the target isnt even more than 6 pixels in total height! Will post a pic real soon so you can see what i mean about the zoom (a little offtopic, but it needs to be shown) http://www.redfield.com/_media/redfield-revenge/accu-ranger-static.jpg That pic is just from 9x capable scope at 400m...

I actually play (some parts of) DayZ with a controller... mostly the long range sniping part and long distance running (doesnt happen too often).

Shit-talking Italian: 0 Grimey and co: 1

*Shrug* I do know that sounds in general is being worked on by an external studio (Benefits of MASSIVE sales on alpha). So... Maybe?

Right in their dirty combat logging face!

If it's one, I will fist it to death (lol @ the dirty images in my head). If it's 2-4, I will cycle knockdown punches to keep it level field untill all down. More than 4 I will run (maybe punch down 1 or 2 fore breathing room) In any of the above scenarios, should another player be spotted, I will book it like my feet were on fire.

Already confirmed as a low priority future update.

Not entirely true, that part about no blood = no flex. A pretty wide range of micro-organisms are able to produce quite measurable amounts of electric charge that would cause muscles to "flex" or "spasm" even well after death of the host.

Beans given. Because stating the obvious, when so few people have even bothered to see it = win anyway! So many people INSTANTLY hop into disabling this and that "eye candy" feature, it sometimes makes me wonder if devs should just stop making beautiful games altogether...

I think of it more as a mutated kind of rabies, rather than the undead we are so used to in "lore".

Known glitch. Will be fixed in near future, but unlikely a high priority (guessing to give it a month)
