Labeling someone a Bandit by what their wearing I find never works, watching that persons actions, seems to be a better way. To the guy who made the video, you are certainly not 100% Friendly/Hero in this at all, just a bandit.

I wouldn't mind a Global Text Chat, with the option to turn it off and/or mute/block people, because we all know it will be filled with trolls, ect.

While I grasp the idea of what a game being in Alpha is all about, it's hard to attribute all this games problems to being just that, Alpha... When the phrase "It's Alpha" is tossed around so freely that, everytime someone has an issue or brings up a problem that it is explained away by people shouting, "It's Alpha!" makes me think that a lot of the problems this game has, may be in fact, NOT Alpha related, and just poorly planned patches, and little to no testing on the developers side before putting it out for us players. And before someone comes in and says, "We're not just playing it, we're testing it too!!!" I realize that as well, however, unless everyone who is playing/testing this game, has a grasp on game development skills, then simple uneducated reports aren't going to help get things sorted out. So, is all this game in Alpha, Yes! Can all the problems we face while playing it, be excused away by, "It's Alpha", No...

There's been a few times throughout my time played that there was zombies in number, but then the community cried about being murdered by them and so the Devs nerfed the amount into the ground... Now I can go from one side of the map to the other, and see maybe 8... Although I will admit, they do show up right at the exact same time, that I decide to try and sneak up on people or set up in an area to snipe. But beyond that, I really wish they would beef them up in numbers, even if those numbers where only concentrated around cities/military/large towns... This would give people something to fight against when they go on low pop servers to loot up...

It's alright... I spent the first 400 Hours playing this game as that "Hero" type of player who wanted to help people, and stay away from any real "Combat", but alas, the "Combat" came to me in the form of repeatedly getting attacked by those who I helped, being shot at or killed by those so-called "Friendly" players, that eventually something snapped inside and I changed into a "Kill or Be Killed" type of player. This game and the people who play it, have a way of changing your way of thinking and your way of reacting/playing this game... I still strive for a positive interaction with those I meet, but only after I've watched them from afar, and see how they present themselves vs. other players, then I might approach, or, snipe their faces off.

The sounds quality of this video is horrible, sorry.

Do people just completely ignore the rest of the map when gearing up and playing DayZ?

I believe with 2155 hours in-game that I know full well of how "Hard" of a game this is, and since when is four considered "Big"? Not trying to be a jerk, but from what I watched it didn't seem like a infiltration, and more along the lines of them not noticing you until you start spraying.

How is this "Infiltrating"? All I seen was a bunch of inexperienced noobs, being sprayed down by an AKM.

No such thing as a "PvE Server", put on your big boy pants and get shot like the rest of us.

Most squeakers I meet in game are nice the moment you meet them, then, they turn into some chipmunk on crack as they're screaming things about me. my mother, and getting rekt. My point, never met a friendly one.

My answers are bold in the quote.

I chose: Other. I would like to see a smaller amount of gear, especially guns/ammo spawning, not because I don't want to get shot and killed, it's just, I find it way way too easy to gear up and get a gun and ammo currently in this game, I feel like it would be more rewarding play finding things then, because as it stands now, you can be beastly kitted out in under a half-hour, sometimes less and your off to do whatever, I would like to see how players would react if there where less accessibility to guns/ammo and gear.

I've had the whole Random death/broken legs/fractures mostly in the two story green buildings, military pd's, and the firestation's tower. The spots that have triggered such a "Random" thing as mentioned are, to the left of the window as you enter the room in the green two story house, the area behind the steps on the second floor of the pd, as well as when I've crouched by the bench on the pd's second floor, death has been exclusive to the bunk bed area in the pd, and I typically get killed or broken on the second level of the firestations tower. This is almost as annoying as when rubber banding was very common in-game.

The improvised bow as it stands right now needs work, I used one the other day just for fun, and it was a struggle to say the least, I feel that it needs to be slightly more accurate and have a stronger travel time before beginning to drop, it's damage seems ok, I'de also like to see arrow bundles go up from 5 to 20, because they take up a lot of space in your inventory, and your not always going to have the opportunity to go and retrieve them...

So people should reveal themselves, come up to you, have a casual conversation about, well, "Interesting" things, then shoot you? Some people just don't care for the interaction between themselves and others, they shouldn't have to conform to one player or a group of players standards on how to play this game.

" It's the people like you who ruin this game. " Heaven forbid people have differing playstyles...

The further in-land the more friendlier people become, except on Airfields or Military Bases that is because these places are usually KoS, this has been my experience as of late.

I've had plenty and I mean plenty experiences where some freshie who has "Nothing" to lose, would rush me in the attempt to KO me and take my gear, if your thinking the gear your giving them is "Something" they won't want to lose, well, your gear is an upgrade to the stuff they got given to them, ofcoarse they will attempt to take you out, not trying to be a dick here, just, had enough experiences that warrant me never ever giving some random anything that would give them the opportunity to kill me.

And then said "Newly spawned survivor" would take said pistol and continue to empty it into you, and run off with your gear, I'm all for giving something to someone, but a gun and ammo, no...

Because they introduced the Gorka Helmet which is compatible with the Gas mask or Payday masks, along with the Face-shield. I am aware that in real-life the Ballistic Helmet is capable of having the Gas mask attached to it, but it's not the case in DayZ anymore. Also take it from someone who used to prioritize "Looks" over "Usefulness", don't do it, it's a waste of time and looking "Good" in this game does nothing but make you easier to kill.

I don't hoard, I load up with what I need and go from there, with how the game is currently and the amount of cheaters I've been running into on a daily basis, storing extra gear and tools seems like a huge waste of my time, so until things get sorted out, I'll stick to grabbing what I need, and nothing more.

Ballistic is better vs. Bullets ( Seen a guy from around 600m take a head shot from a Mosin and just go unconscious. ) Gorka is better vs. Melee more precisely Fists, however I got shot in the head from an M4 yesterday at close range and went unconscious...

On the rocks in Pavlovo military base, hunting server hoppers.

My first gun kill was with the .357 Magnum, because it was my first gun I found, I killed the person because they took my Can opener, which back then I thought was an amazing find, so I was understandably mad and shot them.
