It's been an hour.. I'm asuming you are on your 2nd or 3rd char by now? :P Welcome to DayZ :D

http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ You can't have a "no kill" policy on servers. So people can shoot the crap out of you anywhere (welcome to DayZ :P). Teach your friend that in DayZ everyone is hostile untill proven otherwise. When encountering people, make sure YOU have the uperhand in the encounter untill you trust them. And then expect them to shoot you in the back btw :P

I love how the responses in this topic vary... 50% of the responses are people that have Jerry rigged their own auto run with coins, wedges and macro's and are AGAINST putting this into the game (sorry, but that is just retarded). The other 50% of people is calling someone a wussy for wanting something that (apparently) more people desire otherwise they wouldn't be using the Jerry rigged methods. Personally, i don't see that big of a point, when playernumbers on servers increase you don't want to "Autorun" through the open fields. It will be one of those features that is useful 80% of the time, and then it gets you killed :P But if people want this in the game, i see no issue with it being added..

lol :P I thought "no kill' servers wheren't allowed btw?

TBH, this is my philosophy on KOS. I tend to NOT try and KOS, EXCEPT for military bases and airfield. The only reason people (including me) are there is to obtain Military loot, (M4, scopes, camo gear etc). This gear is not to kill zombie's or to defend yourself. Its designed to kill other people. Therefor everyone who is @ the base has the plan to kill other people (including me :P) and is a threat. @ towns and city's i try to talk before making any move... Unfortunately this usually gets me killed :P I also tend to NOT go to airfields alone though :P Scared shitless 90% of the time if i do that :P

User Actions FollowBrian Hicks‏@Hicks_206Be advised, starting tomorrow DayZ will have a weekly maintenance period. Every Wednesday, at 0700 GMT servers will go down for 3 hours. EDIT: This was posted the 4th. so i'm expecting the patch to be rolled out "Soon"

You do know that Darwin's theory also aplies to groups right? Stronger groups win out over the weaker ones, stronger groups often have social interaction and emotional bonding in order to encourage group behavior and they even help members of the group.

Dunno about this loot track tbh.... I'm usually around balota, but carrying an M4, cammo and a Mosin buddy behind me @ least!. I dont think it's a place you want to be as a fresh spawn. (yes on an empty server it's fine of course, but do you really want to play the game "THAT" way? My advice would still be to head inland, try to survive without encountering others. Find a pistol/shotty/lucky mosin before raiding the smaller prisons/camps for an M4 and cammo, and THEN maybe head out to airfields... Of course if you don't care about your freshly spawned char then go for it by all means, but the survivability of this route is very low, even on medium pop servers.

Guys, there are several causes that can cause unconsciousness. One of them is blood loss.. if you keep bleeding, keep bandaging but not actually healing (aka replenishing blood) then at the end a single scratch can cause you to fall under the unconscious limit and you pas out. WHILE BLEEDING. All your blood will drain and you will never wake up unless bandaged and have a mate put an IV line into you (Saline or Blood). Another way is to have your SHOCK value higher then your blood lvl...So the less blood you have the easier it takes to get into this (and the longer it takes to get out?). If a zombie hit does this to you you're pretty much in situation 1 as he will keep pounding till you die most likely. If you are dehydrated or starving you're blood-level ALSO drop, again like situation 1 this can only be fixed by a buddy and its worse because if you run out of blood you start running out of health also\faster. So the ONLY type of Unconsciousness i know off that you automatically revive from is the SHOCK one, (a blow to the head can cause this even on full health characters). Any other kind is GAME OVER if you don't get help. I haven't experienced the "random" falling unconscious thing myself but i'd guess that is either a bug on the falling unconscious part OR you don't get any feedback that you're starving/dehydrating or bleeding and that causes unconsciousness.

I think there was a horrible uprising of the Can Openers. They started trying to "open" humans and this turned them into zombies. In an effort to contain the outbreak the people have destroyed every can opener they could find but it was to late.... Seriously, why does every house have canned food, but NONE have can openers! THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE!

Sorry but everyone who says the controls are FINE is simply a fanboy or doesn't know what they are talking about. Controls cannot be fine when mouse acceleration is ON by default and cannot be turned off. (rocket explained why btw, because your rotations speed is determent by gear, pavement, health status etc its hard to disable this but they are looking for a way to disable this) Mouse acceleration might also explain the OP's post. the controls feel completely random because the distance of you mouse is not the same for each turn depending of the speed of your mousehand, so sometimes you overshoot turn or undershoot em and run into wals/doors. Yes, you can adapt to this, that doesn't mean its good or even acceptable.
