Oh for sure,I have bumped into a few people on low Pop servers and it's a surprise for sure I understand the Alpha /bugs/glitches and take it all with agrain of salt I may not be that great at posting,or getting my point across...obviously from the harsh reaction of some in this thread that are posting I also could care less how many times I die etc. as it means nothing starting over again It was just the odd time,some strange deaths were occurring and I wondered is all but the Fan Boy's get riled when you call there game Boring..... or anything else LOL Remember all,it is just a Game ;) and for that reason I am no longer replying to anyone that does not have anything constructive to say or want to blame everything on the Millions of snipers laying in wait I have had some good explanations posted by some ,and some who have posted they to have had or there friends have had some very unexplained deaths.That is all I was curious about untill I started to get the Noob/Sniper crap shoved down my throat.... It seems some here have answered one to many questions,and consider anyone who as anything to ask or wonder about abviously is a just a noob/sniper bate etc. The quote above I quoted by Weyland Yutani, is answer enough for me and sounds the most plausable for those couple of odd deaths that occured Other than that I am sure I have died ever horribly,indignant and miserable death that anyone could ever deliver to another in DayZ So,seeing as I am a Noob with a only weeks under my Belt.... What does the Z stand for in DayZ If not for Zombies I only assumed this! The FanBoys sure take this game WAY to seriously!

LOL Hauser,your like an old woman at a Hen party always must get the last word in LMAO Try staying on topic if you want to participate in a thread,I see from other threads you post you mainly just try to antagonize others with rude comments ;)

Maybenow he has climbed Mount Everest with everyones hard earned money, he isnow going to retire to New Zealand :) He has admited he has the "Gift of Gab",and is best talking people into things and doing things for him such as everyone spending money buying an unfinished product lol I would not be surprised if DayZ SA is never finished,would be a shame but it could definately happen!

Read and weep spammers,why dont you all go spam some other thread for awhile LOL Or do you just like trying to antagonize people ROFL

LOL Hauser,try reading more than the SPAM ROFL!

Ah yes,two more very useful posts/spam go cry somewhere else

This also sounds like may have been happening to me as I tend to run like hell through the countryside to cover ground going places rather than just jog around slowly town to town.They introduce heart attacks,I won't be able to run like that but for now it helps to get to know the map Desync,with elevation change as you mention could very well be my biggest problem Thanks for the input,greatly appreciated!

I stand corrected,just looked..... 203 hours So I exagerated so what... Really useful post there....

I have yet to shoot anyone other than Zombies,yet I have been killed a lot mostly by Base camper/server jumpers at the airfields ;) I went along shoreline the other day all geared up and armed to the teeth looking for trouble all I found was new spawns ,so I told them where I seen backpacks and food I shared some food and pop with two individuals on two seperate occasions on that walk without harm it felt good,to be nice to someone I was hoping to see a Bandit and kill him but did not find any :)

If one rifle is on shoulder,and one in hands when logging out when logged back in,you will notice in the item menu both rifles,yet no rifle in your hands you can move freely like this,ans sprint fast Until..... you use your hands for anything! then the rifle that is in your item menu drops to the ground when you use your hands to do anything after eating,using the compass or whatever you must then pick that rifle back up off the ground and run with it actually in your hands My prefered combo,is a .45 and a .357 in tact vest and tac coat a sawed off shotgun in backpack with M4 on shoulder and I carry my SKS with sometimes using a Mosin instead of the SKS Usually keeping the scoped rifle on my shoulder can make the decision for me as to which rifle I hang on my shoulder Sometimes I carry more than one .45 or .357 also if rifles are lacking for whatever reason and pistols are a plenty can never carry too many gunZ ;) In the DayZ Mod for Arma II there is a special rifle backpack designed to carry a rifle just watch Jolley Joe's Youtube movies to see it if you do not have the game As far as rifles in backpacks in DayZ SA ... I have not been able to insert a rifle into any of the backpacks

This is interesting to me,and sounds more like it thanks for the input! I know I mwentioned dying at a Military base,but again it was on a server by myself and in an open field,again only one other person on server and I was in the very far corner of the map where there is no towns/villages or anything else for a sniper to consider hanging out to wait for someone to come along Where I should be getting sniped by a sniper....or could get sniped I never usually do 90 % of my deaths were first week along shore trying not to starve Thanks again,it makes sense a lot and really could not be considered a bug of the game IMHO Thanks,seems the same kind of thing just the odd strange death that is unexplanable highly unlikey with the odds I have also had the exact same thing happened,no explanation,no you are dead screen and back to the beach for me 250 hours now,a lot has happened I don't mind dying,I get all my gear back and armed usually in two sittings of around hour and a half each to maybe two 2 hour sittings at the game so never a great loss,and it builds experience in getting started and is a great help in learning the map I know the map good,no longer need the compass as much as before I reconize towns now,city's all from a distance now as I approach 90 % of the time I am cautious enough,that in hot zones I have no trouble most deaths are very explanable,climbing around on the castle and slip,slip on the ghost ship slipped on rocks on mountains,been sniped,point blank shot,axe murdered,baseball batted etc. It is just the odd strange death that occurrs that is....strange and is...uneXplanable IMHO I just don't get it though really,now that I have 250 plus hours in it does seem a bit boring after everything has been done numerous times every airfield raided numerous times,all the military bases succefully raided and on and on starting over is exciting,as it is a race against starvation trying to find food,water and tools to open cans,a Pack to carry things etc. Anyway,respect is not given on demand it has to be earned for those that had a genuine opinion thank you very much and you have my respect for the rest who just want to insult,be rude and start fights.... Go play in some other sandbox!

Oh well,simple question.... gets answered with nothing but the Ghostly sniper theory.....or Noob basic theory's Go ahead guys play this bugged out so called Alpha! Considering DayZ has a capital Z at the end of the name..... they should maybe at least fix a few glitches with the Zombies at least or rename it to DayBZ for BuggyZombies ROFL I have died 1000's of times,I am not talking about that I am ....or was since this topic is so far of topic now about the odd random time....when your all alone on a server or in some FAR FAR FAR AWAY corner of the map not doing anything all that risky and black screen your dead comes up It is true,I have experienced absolute no explanation death on this game Anyway,I have invested far to much time into something not worth my time...let alone the money they charge for it! I have played better FREE Beta's than DayZ that have far less bugs or glitches so no big deal to me really I could truly care less as I am not some child who needs a daily fix of video games LMAO Thread closed as far as I'm concerned,for those that actually had some constructive input thank you very much Cheers

I totally agree,and mentioned this in a previous post after all this is a game,ratherpointless to keep getting killed and you don't know why or how it happened Thanks for posting with something constuctive

Unforutnately,I am starting to feel this forum is as big a waist of time as the actual game More trolls spam on this forum than my Granny has patches on her quilt So many things wrong with this game,yet the DEV as there called seem more interested in implemting new things rather than fixing things already bugged about the game I am an Admin on other gaming sites,I also Develop Mods for other games/simulations and have been doing so for some time I have invested over 200 hours in less than a month into DayZ is this game now seems pointless and boring to me No wonder it has become a KoS/PvP game now That is about the only thrill left for most that play it! I might as well join the masses and just hang out along the shoreline killing noobs and fresh spawners looking for food and water becoming a KoS kinda of guy although in over 200 hours I have yet to kill anyone for any reason I am interested in DayZ as a DEVELOPER AND MODDER of other games but the fun factor in DayZ is very low,and the game is so glitchy it is hardly worth investing any time into Unless the actual DEV's start to actually do something about all the real glitches and bugs with the base game!

See all you sniper/noob theory guys.... I am not the only one who thinks this is a glitch! Please,keep out of the thread unless you have something constructive to post I'm tired of the sniper /noob posts as OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT FUCKING READING ANYTHING!

Krooked Hauser,go spam somewhere else!

I gained a lot smoother game play switching to experimental from stable fps is better now in the city's for me I just have a cheap,dime a dozen laptop with lowspecs,no extra anything but on experimental I can actually move around fairly smooth now in the cities ps: Raincoats do absolutely nothing to help keeping you dry anything like rags in your raincoat pockets just become ruined Zombies seem to be unrealisticly harsh,can hardly loot now without getting over run and killed by zombies no matter where I go

Hey KoS .... READ BEFORE YOU POST This is pointless,everyone just assumes I run around through dangerous zones in open fields That I am some mindless SOB who does not know to zig zag,or to use cover.... etc. etc. READ BEFORE YOU POST I was NOT sniped during last death! Only an idiot like myself would be in that location where I was.... in the very far corner of the map considering only one other player was on that server at that time...pretty damn unusual that he would be in the exact same place ROFL This unexplained death has also accorurred WITH NO OTHER PLAYERS online on that server How do I get sniped when I am the only person on the server! Please,lets all get over the "playing like a noob" and the :sniper: theory's!

I'm not addicted to my gear and when spawning fresh it only takes a couple hours of playing to have it all back Seems most are not reading what I post That last unexplained death was in an area that would be insane for anyone else to be along the maps edge,nowhere near anything The sniper scenario is getting to be as lame as everyone saying Oh this game is Alpha etc. I have not been sniped that many times I also have died by gunfire,slipping and falling etc. what I am talking about is totally unexplained death! I feel they need to correct the game ,so if in fact you are sniped then you should at least hear the sound even if it is after your dead... so you at least know what happened after all this is only a game.I also feel they need to address this issue and should go further with typed text exactly stating the exact death that occurred. Otherwise this is totally pointless to play,spawn...go loot....run around until you get bored.....loot some more...run around until you get bored....loot some more... then die! Oh boy,such fun...especially when you do not even know why or how you were killed LOL

Ok,thanks for advice guys I dont run over open fields in or around what could be percieved as hot spots last death occurred in open field in very far corner of the map right near the maps border edge on a low Pop server with only two people I have also had it happen with only myself on the server,I play extremely cautious.My last character,I had looted all three airfields,both military bases and made one total journey all the way around the map including the ghost ship. Total of many many hours of playing that character,then on the very outer edge of the map with only one other person on that server with me,"black screen and "you are dead" I say again,I am extremely cautious when playing,I have looted airfields,and military bases numerous times without problem and this happens in such out of the way places mostly that it seems to be a glitch in the game in my opinionSeems pointless to spend so much time on a character,to succesfully gather everything you need.Then continue to loot and replace all worn and damage items with nothing but Pristine items just to end up dead all the time in very unexplained ways! I have lost characters with 100% Pristine clothes and items,compass ,three maps .45 and clip with .357 and sawed off shotgun M4 with two scopes and plenty of good supplies like dry milk and cereal...all to end up with an unexplained death way up in the far corner of the map on a low pop server. I only play when the server is low,prefering to play the same server until death once finding a smooth running server.Even so much as I will log on and play in very early morning hours when that exact server is low on Population.I prefer low pop as I like to play alone,and do notlike the KoS style of playing.I am well over 200 hours now and have still not killed anyone although I have had plenty of chances. My last character ,along the shoreline I gave directions to a couple of new spawns where backpacks and other items were that I had found,shared water,pop and food with them.All to eventually end up dead in a very far remote location where I know forafact nobody in the right mind would sit there for enturnity trying to hope that someone would come along to snipe. Maybe the once at the military base I died I was sniped....but again slim chance when only two or three people were on the server No,this is a glitch in the game I have experience quite a bit in well over two hundred hours of playing I am becoming extremely disatisfied with this game myself,and calling it an Alpha etc. all the time is just an excuse IMHO

I wonder about Backpacks that are going to be made so they can be stashed on servers, and when reapawning one can go get there stashed Backpack. If someone is killed by a Zombie,or falling etc will there Backpack then also be saved on that server etc. and if that is the case will the game not eventually have Backpacks all over the place with items IMHO It would make more sense to take the time to import tents to be used for the purpose of stashing items They would be specific for the purpose rather than a Backpack which is carried by every Character/player in the game I imagine that eventually building a fireplace,and having a cooking fire will be implemented from what I am reading. As well as hunting,for something to cook on that fire.... With this,would a tent not seem appropriate to accompany that cooking fire/fireplace. Essentially creating a campsite,which would include a tent of which you could keep your items safe and dry They would then also have to be found by other players for items and tents to be stolen Rather than just Backpacks ,of which I would assume would eventually be all over the place laying around being saved from players being killed in various ways. Not a complaint or rant,I am more curious than anything Myself though IMHO, would prefer tents to be implemented and used for this purpose rather than Backpacks. Cheers,keep up the good work

I have been involved in games where they are only patched every 3 to 6 months So development/patch frequency seems rather good with DayZ compared to some other games It sure is a "Fast Food" type of a World we live in today!

Awwww,I have an opinion that loot "re-spawing" would be a more arcade way of playing the game, rather than only when servers reset.... So you have to comment on my ..... grammer! rofl

That is good to know,thanks I had tried a hardcore server,and when I seen I was respawning from scratch I was so shocked as too losing my Character and all my loot lol After though,I had played again one of my favorite servers in Regular and noticed I had all my old gear etc. Was funny how empty I had felt,when I had first thought I lost all my gear ;) I work nights in RL,so on weekends even after sleeping in it is still very early when I get up My favorite server is a Low Pop server in my early mornings so it is a fun time to loot ;) Getting to be a busier server as people wake up on Saturday morning The Southern airfield is a hotspot, twice now I have been KoSon that airfield yesterday,I was only one on the server for sometime,checked Pop just before entering the airfield just started to loot the Barracks,and a Guy logged on,came into the Barraks and killed me I redpawned on the Beach and started over....he then logged out and he had spent less than 5 minutes on that server and got my 3 hours worth of loot Something needs to be adressed for server hopping,and logging into hotspots such as airfields and military bases,hospitals,supermarkets etc. Game should atomatically not allow people to log in and out of these places somehow It's a spoiled fast food generation we live in,everyone wants it NOW! I prefer to hang out up North...takes more effort to get up there so there is a lot less population up there ;)

167 hours,and I feel comfortable with the game now Been around the map in all four coners and every where between many times now Looted all the airfields,all the Milary bases....stores,hospitals etc. Many homes,so much so I have my favorite houses to loot and pass the ones I no longer care to even look for loot. I have two canteens,three maps,compass,a sawed off shotgun and a .45(just found a cip today)/and a .357 and a Mosin with all accessories Ammo box,yellow storage container full,and lots of dry milk powder,rice and cereal I eat and drink beans/sardines and pop etc. as I loot rather than carrying it While travelling,I use my Canteens,eat my dry supply's I was being a loot hog and doublepacking backpacks,that slowed my game down considerably pretty much eventually frose my game I was carrying so much inventory lol with 6 or 7 backpacks deep,all chock full with inventory Just one backpack now,with the yellow dry box available and an Ammo box cargo pants,tactical vest,tactical jacket all give a lot of storage enough,I seem to manage ok I carry,a sawed off shotgun/.45/357 and my tursty Mosin when looting airfields and millitary bases I grab an M4 or SKS if available always keeping with me a clip for the M4 and around 20 rounds of the 7.62 x 39 mm for the SKS if ammo is not around the guns when looted I carry them in my hands and use while looting sometimes I carry them out and throw them in the bushes,so no one that comes along can loot them and kill me with them ;) My game I have now optimized froma tutorial around on Steam,and it seems to be running fine now as long as I have low ping on the server,and low bandwith,with 0 desync I have toned down my graphics,but it all still looks pretty good Definately worth the small price to pay for the game in Alpha actual bugs ....most don't bother me a bit I have now slayed so many Zombies with the M4 and SKS that I went back to the axe and am enjoying sneaking up on them again... Marvelous game,excellent concept and I enjoy trying to keep healthy and alive as much as anything I stick to myself,hunt loot and zombies at Dusk and before Dawn or on Moonlit nights Travel only by day,being as sneaky as I can :) I'm quite thankful this is available in Alpha,although the last patch and hotfix played havoc with my game,and I lost a lot in a character I have moved on,optimized my own game a bit more with Steam comunity advice and.... I am back enjoying the game even more at 167 hours played now I only hope for better patch implemantion in the future,would be nice of things could get tested more before forcing it on everyone or have a roll back option to roll back a patch until hotfixes and technical issues are worked out I can handle game bugs,but technical stuff that prevents games from working for people is frustrating I would like to see the walking through walls fixed on Zombies,that is an anoyance the same as the knowing where you are even after zig zagging and crouching behnd something kind of thing but It all takes time,and I could wait for better Zombies longer than for Zombies that dont walk through walls If I had to vote though... I would give 10 cans of Beans out 10 for what is available for the price of entry into the the World of DayZ Keep up the good work guys,it's an incredible game!
