Who do you think you are? God? That you don't kill people doesn't mean that others are wrong by doing so. Everyone who play this game has payed the same amount of money for it, and therefore everyone is titled to play like they want. There is no wrong way to play, and there is no right way to play. So stop calling people for assholes and sadists for playing a different way then you. You know a lot of people KoS, so then you have to adapt for it. I'm a friendly myself, but i'm not crying when i get shot. This because i know it was my own fault. I was not careful enough. So instead of moaning, i recomend you to learn how to decrees you chances by being shot. Stealthy moves and being able to see others before they see you is an art and a very important part of surviving in a zombie apocalypse if you ask me. And if you meet someone you like, add them as your steam friends. That way you will not loose them forever when you die, and you can play with them later.

Whatever you do in life, the very first time is very special. And most of the times you will remember it for a very long time. Either its your first day on high school, the first time you had sex or even the day you bought your first car. Its always a story to remember. And the same goes for a game like DayZ as well. Therefore we all remember our first kill. Here is my story: Today, after nearly 50 hours of surviving it was finally time to cross the line and go for the very first kill. I had people in my sight several times before, but i have never pulled the trigger. I have either made contact with various results, or i have kept quit and let them move on without even knowing i was there. But this day it was time to choose the third option. The morally wrong option. I was running towards Cherno after a very long trip up to the NE airfield and it started to be late at day. The sun was hanging low over the horizon and the silence was only broken by some imaginary eating sounds every time i stopped running. It was a beautiful evening, and the server was no more then half full. I haven't seen anyone for hours despite i was running on the seaside all the way from the broken shipwreck of Rify. But when i approached the very small farming community of Prigorodki right after the sumps in the outskirts of eastern Cherno, I saw a man running towards me on the side of the road. He was about 500 meters in front of me, so i did a good job spotting him so early on. I was wearing a bright orange raincoat at the time so i was sure he saw me. The very big red backpack did not help to camouflage me either, but since i spotted him so early, i still had time to get to the side of the road in crouch down into the grass behind a very small three. My heart was hammering, and it hit harder and harder the closer he get. Because this man was not a normal man. This was a solider. Highly trained solider with a custom M4, a hunting backpack, assault west and he even had a gas mask. This man was ready for anything. Just 100-150 meter away from me he decided to check out four houses right next to the road. This was my opportunity to get closer. Since i'm the nice guy, my way with firearms are not so good, and my mosin had just been test fired at some non moving zombies a few times. I knew i only had one chance. If i missed, he would empty he's entire mag in me before i could reload. Therefore i needed to get closer to make sure i hit the target on the very first attempt. So while he was inside one of the buildings i ran and hide behind a fence all to the east on the compound. I knew he was heading towards Electro, and therefore i knew he would pass right next to me on the other side. So i lay down behind the fence and waited. And not long after he came jogging past me on the other side of the fence. Just as i predicted. At this time i was starting to have second thoughts if i was going to shot him or not. Should i say "hello, whats up my friend" instead? But this guy looked like a real survivor. He would just blast me into my next life if i talked to him. I guess.. So I hold my breath while he was jogging by. 50 meters up ahead he stopped behind a small three. He had to run over a open field, so he was checking if it was safe to cross. At this time i stand up, and aimed down the sight of my beautiful Mosin with a pristine PU scope. I was arguing with my self if i should pull the trigger or not. He had a very nice backpack, jacket, and pants i could use. Because I was shining brighter then the sun in my Orange raincoat, and some camouflage in this hostile world could be the difference between life and death. But this was a life. A survivor like me. He had most likely traveled far and wide and faced many dangers like zombies and trigger happy ten year olds. Just like me. He didn't deserve to die now. Not now. He should at least have the opportunity to see the beautiful Bay Zelenaya before he died. So i made a deal with my self. If he run, he live. If he turn around he die. He turned around.. One shot and down to the ground he went. I felt like a turd that just have come out of the magical place where nothing ever should go in. It was terrible. I ran over to he's copse, and pushed my direct communication button and prayed it was not too late. With a low and shaky voice i manage to say " Sorry man, I'm really sorry" But it was to late. He had all ready moved on. I robbed he's dead and still warm body and felt much better when i notice he had a long range scope for my Mosin. And for some reason it was not ruined. And what an M4 the guy had. The very best of the best in pristine condition, and he had five ammo boxes full of ammo. All of the ammo was ruined, but the guy was carrying only weapon parts and ammo. No food, no water. Just military grade weapon stuff. This guy was ready for war. I guess he was on he's way to meet opp with he's clan or something because that amount of ammo and weapon parts was just insane for one person. So i didn't feel bad anymore. I can only imagine if he only had fresh fruit and was on he's way to the orphanage. Then i would cry, but this bastard must have jumped server to server at Balota Airfield to collect that stuff crazy amount of ammo and weapon parts. So i was happy. Very happy. So that's my first kill. What is your story?

I really enjoy reading this stories. So keep'em coming:)

Love the story:) This is why this kind of games are so special. Everyone can get a 5 kill streak in CoD, but the stories that comes with just one kill in this game can be so incredible unique and individual. This could have been a story in a hollywood movie, but it wasn't. No scripting here and nothing was planed. Just one of infinitive numbers of random events that unfolds in this fantastic game. And this is just an early alpha. Can't imagine the stories that will be told when all of the content are available for everyone:) What a game:)

Why are 90% of the servers the same? (114008)
skoms replied to Rōnin Rick's topic in General Discussion
There is not a problem to find daytime servers. Even in the middle of the night. 1. if you fin a server witch is almost full, lets say 37/40, its most likely a day time server. Most people play on daytime servers and therefor people gather together on these servers. 2. When you see the first column after the server name, it normally say DAYZ_AUTO. But if find Dayz_AUTO its a daytime server. Its easy to spot, because of the small "a", "y" and "z" 3. You can search for specific words or numbers for server names. If you search "daytime", or "24/7" there is a good chance you make a hit, and the hit you get is 99% certain a daytime server. Hope this helps you out. And if you don't find any loot. Go away from the coastal area and find a town where no one has gone yet. Or just server jump like almost everyone else..:P -
And you complaining about my tone..:) Some people wouldn't realize reality even if it hit them in the face. Maybe rocket should put a talk show about that on his radio so perhaps the camping KoS kids could learn a thing or two. Just saying..
-
Why? Why not just get the book in real life if you really want to read it... It must be so much better..
-
I cant count how many posts are here that are some guy with more then 500 posts complaining about people with less then 10 posts complaining. Just saying
-
The important thing is that its sticks:) So i'm glad you get so much help to remember..:P
-
Option number two: No and NO! I hope they never put a system in to the game that let you "earn" stuff based on how you play. DayZ is not about that, and the risk of betrayal and getting fooled should always be a part of the game. That counts for medics as well. I think that medical outfits like a white dress with a red cross on front and back, e medical backpack perhaps with same design could also be a good idea. They should be spawned in the hospitals, but i also think that everyone must be able to walk in and get one. Regardless if you are a bandit or a actual medic. The risk of someone tricking you would always be a highly likely scenario in a real life apocalypse situation, and that must be the case in DayZ also. Thats my opinion

This sucks. It should really be a option to restart or kill off your character on the start up screen.

The forum police has arrived... Everyone, hide or you will be arrested
-
So, you do remember:)) Not that glamorous but still it still stick to your brain:)
-
I was reading somewhere that you could regain full blood with saline bag. Can you do this on yourself?
-
Um...not really. I don't think this is how everyone did their first kill. In fact there is five examples above you that are very different. So, are you just trying to say your first kill was that you killed a newspawn in full milgear? :)
-
They called it a harbor town. So i guess it will be much more then just the docks.. How big the town will be, is the question. Surly smaller than Cherno and Electro, but hopefully large enough to have a fire station and perhaps some totally new buildings:) Anyone know where it will be located, or is this a secret yet?

Rolling Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.32.114557
skoms replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
But now its gonna be even more fun. Because you know its less then 10 minutes since the shit went down, and that means the killer is close by... But yeah, you will come a cross less bodies, but the fact that people can't run back to their bodys and instantly gear up makes it more then ok -
Rolling Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.32.114557
skoms replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
And we got a new town, And shot guns, and much more. I think a log out timer (i guess that is what you want?) cannot be introduced before we get tents or the possibility to set up bases. This because people who are done for the day are unfairly exposed when they log out otherwise. Thats also a big problem. So, for me its ok that this delay for now.. -
