The mental image of someone punching their beans open is making me lose my shit right now haaha

That would be awesome. "Still warm to the touch, and died from gunshot" That could add to the intensity.

What crime? Just 2 new fresh spawns making love in a nearby house.

No not at all. The OP just suggested some type of extra recognition for helping with the Alpha, and I made a suggestion. Badges are kind of fun, but totally unnecessary in the end. I'd rather have all the teams dedicated to making the game perfect, rather than have someone get assigned to making an avatar badge.

PBnation, a Paintball forum like this one has "badges" that go below your username and profile pic. You get badges for donating to the site,For being a member for __ years,Making a thread that hits 2,000 posts,Supporting/running a companyEtc. etc etc. People seem to enjoy hunting down and earning them. Can't be too hard to implement here.

I've always liked the idea of these. Reminds me of the Cordon in STALKER where all the cowards, fresh STALKERs, or White Knight teacher types hang out. Not 100% safe, but safe enough tor rest for a bit.

But seriously, there's no guarantee for you to enjoy a game. I don't see why that would entitle you to a refund.

Ahh got it!

I gotta ask.. What were you planning on doing with those binos? Taping them together and making a telescope?

Decided to go out and go "bandit" hunting along the coast today. I use that term loosely. By "bandit", I mean bully who enjoys griefing and KOS'ing the new spawns. It's something I like to do when playing solo, and I'm usually pretty through. I don't just KOS every geared up person on teh coast. I like proof of banditry. I'm wandering the stretch just South of Solnichniy and East of Tulga, where the coast bends when I hear a few distant gunshots. I was making my way to Elektro so I expected to hear a ton of gunshots as I got closer. I pause along the side of the mountain when I see a dead new spawn, (white shirt, black pants, and red backpack) and he's being looted by someone in fully camouflaged gear, ( camo clothes, M4, Boonie Cap, and Hunting packpack). I start to monitor this player as he travels back up north along the coast. I'm not sure who attacked who first in his previous encounter. As I track him I come to an opening in the treeline and am forced to move out of line of sight and lost my target. I'ma bit disappointed for a bit, but then I see movement at Solnichniy's little 3 building crossroads. The player is in all camo, with a green backpack, and M4. I see a another new spawn approach and I quickly move into a good shooting position. They appear to be talking so I use their distraction to move up close. I can hear them talking and one is sounding demanding. I'm not too far away now, but then I see the Geared player raise his rifle at the new spawn. I aim for center mass, and let 3 rounds fly. I missed 2 of them. I hear them shout: "Run! Some asshole bandit is fucking shooting at us!" I hear return fire, I decide to stay motionless behind a tree as his shots are 45 degrees off target. He stops firing and they take off. Zig zagging back to town. "Some asshole bandit is fucking shooting at us!" Neither was a victim in that case Neither was a bandit or griefer. I dun' goofed. TLDR: Tried to bandit hunt, became a bandit.

Because he referred to the two of them as "us". Suggesting, (to me anyways) that they were a group. Not "that bandit is shooting at me". Also they ran away together.

I know how you feel TC. The game currently feels too much like a camping trip. The birds chirping, beautiful grasslands and forests, small villages, etc. Wish it was more foreboding. I hate always making the comparison because they're different games, but I wish this game was more like STALKER in the atmosphere regard.

M'Zombie

In this Devblog video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uYtxkrMg5k they mention zombies with broken necks and broken backs. (check around the 11min mark) This leads me to believe the zombies are reanimated.

These two play constantly in my background. Very moody, forboding, and make you feel helpless and alone.

My gf was watching me play today and saw me spawning on a beach, and raised a good question. Are we arriving here out of desperation, escaping a larger worldwide zombie outbreak? Or are we traveling here for another reason? Prisoners? Adventure seekers? Are we fugitives? In the end, I know the story is all our own. But how does everyone else feel?

The teleporting idea reminds me a lot of STALKER. As much as I love how in depth and creative the lore was in that game, I don't think it would fit in Day Z. This one is too much more ground in reality, and too practical. Of course I could be wrong if it turns out Aliens and radiation caused teh zombie outbreak, in which case bring on the bizarre!!

I've always felt the same way. Unless you're in a suit or past 35 years old, a Fedora is not for you. Fedoras ARE in this game however: http://flappyfedora.tk/

I'd love the harmonica just to use it as a sort of call sign. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyuwBW9lNa8

it's like a Blowout from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Awesome!

Glad I'm not the only one. I just moved and internet wasn't activated here until today. I hopped on and looted Msta, Staryoe, and the G-place to teh west and only found gloves and a Down jacket. Oh, and like 14 sewing kits. No food or soda. Not even rotten stuff. Could have been my servers though.

I can't help but think of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fRuoMIfpw

He looks so grim... Now here's a face a bambi would trust!

Now I'm curious. What did you shout at them?
