I guess this is not my game... :( This day was again for nothing, everything went well, I was searching a military base for something to defend myself. Some person sneaked up from behind, I didn't even hear him. This time the message was "You are dead" instead of "You are unconscious". Maybe I'm not careful enough. Pretty frustrating. Too frustrating too continue playing I guess.

Makes me a little sad...

Hi guys, I'm obviously new to DayZ and wanted to share my experience with you. I have bought this game yesterday, played 12 hours, already died 9 or 10 times. The majority caused by other players... The first one surprised me: you get out of a house, being happy about that can of beans you found and suddenly someone aims at you with a rifle. You raise your hands, another one comes up from behind with an axe and finishes you. The next death was caused by another guy who didn't like having me (unarmed...) around... Those deaths didn't bother me, I hadn't found any valuable loot until today: 1 Fireaxe, Medkit, backpack, 4 or 5 food items, soda cans, etc... Of course I had to lose my gear, when I went to a very small town, and it happened quite similar to the first one: I met some survivor, who apparently hadn't any weapons,I generally don't like killing people, so I ignore him first and go on my way... When he suddenly sneaks up from behind and begins punching me. I draw my axe, but before I can do anything I hear a gunshot, the screen becomes dark. 'You are unconscious.' 6 hours of searching for nothing. Great. Thank you very much. Why do people kill each other? Are they just greedy or bored or too lazy to find loot themselves? Aren't they aware that the real enemy in this game is supposed to be the zombies? But I'm not here for whining, I'd rather like to ask you what I should do in the future when I meet other people. I don't like to return the 'kindness' to other players... Nice people would die out if everyone thought like that. Or is it intended that sooner or later your morality degenerates in this game? Oh and I also wonder how those bandits where able to team up. When 2 evil fools meet one of them is supposed to get shot...
