Mine does that when I press spacebar . I usually press spacebar again and I can run .

Or you can run a bit , till they can't see you for some time , and go prone behind a bush . I usually do that . But , if you fail , and the zed finds you , you gotta be quickly , or he'll hit you .

You tried to kill a poor bunny ! You're a horrible person ! Ya' ain't going to get my beans , sir .

Well , you can always use : http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158520-looking-for-a-group-please-post-your-details-here/ . Or , you can do ye' olde' searching for friendlies in game . But I suggest only teaming up with freshspawns who aren't suspicious , and if you're kitted , tell them to always walk in front of you . Never bandage / eat in front of them , they could kill you while you do that . Only do that if you think they can be trusted .

The devs are already doing a lot of stuff . Let's not get them too busy with these ideas , they need to fix the bugs / things not working first . Personally , I'd prefer to stick with the classic zombies . If you give gamers a new type of zombie , they'll start asking for more , like the '' Zebra Zombie '' , etc .

I encourage you to keep playing friendly , and avoid KOS . Being stealthy helps a lot , to avoid these situations . Since I don't want to KOS , I try to act like an Infiltrator : I always hide from the people , and when I see a potentially friendly person , I stalk them for some time , but never enter buildings . I wait for them to go out of the buildings . By how they move , and how they act , I can check how their general personality is . If they have a firearm , I usually get away from the zone , without them seeing me . If they have a melee weapon , or if they're unarmed , I usually talk with them ( If I have a firearm ) , and if I team up with them , I tell them to give me their Steam name , and to always walk in front of me . If they need to bandage , I drop bandages in front of them . If they act weird , I just run away , while looking at them . But don't start to KOS . Don't become another Bandit / Overly Paranoid Dude / COD Kiddie . I suggest to avoid teaming up with anyone in game , unless they aren't suspicious . Try to meet people at the forums . PD : Avoid groups . If they already have friends , then they don't need you that much , unless they're a small group . In big groups , there's always the '' Rotten Apple '' : The guy who will shoot you when the others want to leave you alone .

The last part was stunning . Happened to me too . Saw a guy on his knees in the middle of the bushes . He was bleeding heavily . I talked with him for , like 30 minutes , but he didn't do anything . Then I decided to take a risk and bandage him . He didn't do anything . I opened his backpack and placed some bandages in it . He never moved . The server restarted , and he didn't came back . I thought : Maybe he was AFK , waiting to bleed out , and now I just saved his life .

Hahaha , that was interesting . Haven't found an use for the defirbrillator yet . I think it's supposed to wake up '' Uncounscious '' people , but you also have Epinephrine for that .

I haven't tested the .45 yet , but I believe it's a more reliable weapon . 1 : The ammo is a lot easier to get . 2: Those 15 bullets per magazine come in handy . 3 : Easier to reload , if you have a magazine ( I have to reload my Magnum via inventory , can't use '' R '' ) . 4 : It's more accurate . 5 : Has more range . Meanwhile , the Magnum : 1 : Does A LOT more damage . 2 : It's better for room clearing : One shot , you're dead .

Cool video . It's always nice to have some combat advice . I recommend you to see some '' How to contact with other survivors '' videos too , unless you want to have the KOS Mentality .

WARNING : It's a bit long , you've been warned . So I'm gonna tell my first murder in DayZ . I've always wanted to have this game , I've been stalking this forum for , like two years or so . I wanted to buy DayZ , but I didn't wanted to buy the game again , so I decided to wait for the Standalone . Now that the game came as a Standalone , I bought it , and I've been playing for some time . I'm playing as a Lone Wolf , because my friends don't want to buy the game yet ( They've played DayZMod and didn't like it much , because of the bugs , so they want to wait for Beta or so ) . I'm a friendly character , and that means that I have to hide from almost everybody . I always crouch , and never stand up , not even in houses , and I've met a lot of people who didn't see me , but I '' spared '' them . So , after some deaths , because of being a bambi , I had learnt how to survive . Spent two days on Elektro with a crowbar ( Yes , I'm a mad weirdo ) , till I was geared enough to go north . So , let's go to the main topic, my first kill . I had found my first Magnum , and I was on Berezino . I had 8 bullets for the Magnum . I was looting a building , when I heard a voice yelling '' FRIENDLY '' . I looked at the window , and saw a guy wearing an orange raincoat . He had a Mosin Nagant . I talked with him , but he seemed a bit suspicious , and his friend gave me the creeps , he was always trying to get on my side/ back , so I told them '' Anyway , guys , I'm leaving . Maybe I'll see you later . '' Some time later , I was looting Berezino's Office Complex , and saw a dude looting a dead man's corpse . He took a Mosin Nagant from the dead man , after that , he took his Orange Raincoat . I wasn't sure about this guy , but after seeing him do that , I realised he was the Friendly pal's '' Partner '' and in fact , he had killed him , and stolen his gear . I didn't want to waste bullets , so I tried to axe him from behind , but I couldn't for some reason . He ran away , but I took my Magnum and followed him . I saw him , and shot 4 rounds on him . He went prone , and I wasn't sure if he was dead or not , so I shot another 2 rounds on him . Reloaded my gun , and went to see him . He was dead , and his corpse was bleeding , I took the Mosin . Everything else was completely ruined . Then I tought '' Maybe he was the dead guy's IRL friend , and his partner died of something else , and told him to take his stuff '' . So I checked the dead man's body . His equipment was ruined , and a Splitting Axe was laying next to him . My victim probably axed him to death , to take his Mosin and his gear . So , my victim wasn't an innocent man . I went to his corpse , and told him : '' You're a horrible person , betraying someone to get his stuff '' '' You got what you deserved '' . I hid his body , and ran away from the area . So that's the story of my first murder . I've survived for 5 days now . I'm looking forward to meet more friendlies , and leave your comments if you want . I'm interested in hearing other people's murder stories , specially their first murder . Post them here if you want . TLDR : Met two friendly guys , left them alone . One of them betrayed the other to take his stuff , found him , killed him , I ran away .
