    Why do you play DayZ?

    I like it because it's the only game that gives you that big adrenaline kick when you finally see someone, knowing it could be life or death, it's the only game I know of where you spend hours trying to find someone and then shit yourself when you finally do.

    i like the bandits

    I don't, the deathmatch scenario will stay as long as the game is playable, but it will actually become more relevant if food and drink is relatively rare, either way, I'm normally packing enough firepower/patience to shoot or wait my way out of situations, since gearing is easy

    i like the bandits

    I hate being killed on sight, I was shot yesterday when I had nothing but a can of beans. The issue is putting 40 people in a server with plenty of ways to kill each other and nothing else to do. Until we actually have to survive and not just eat until stuffed etc etc, people will just treat the game like a death match.

    DayZ Confessions

    The only "Proper PVP" I had was being shot through a wall because my character model was glitched through it while taking cover from said shooter. Proper, that!

    Mosin or M4?

    Daft question, but how are you running two weapons? I've tried since the "sit down when logging out" patch and when I get back in, the weapon in my hand is normally gone...
  6. I think there are more important sound related issues, like the constant reload/zombie noise glitches. If there's a sound for logging in, it just needs to be a slight cough or something. To those that say they are ambushed, I play with a friend and I can hear his footsteps all around the building that we're in, so unless said person spawns and doesn't move, I don't understand how you wouldn't hear them...

    Real question about the community

    On the flip side, YOU'RE probably geared and have nothing to gain by killing them, unless YOU'RE a flashlight enthusiast.

    Playing the good guy...

    If I heard someone singing down their mic that was constantly on, I'd shoot them for being annoying. It's hard enough to hear zombies coming up behind you as it is.

    What do you do when you're under siege?

    This one's a bit "backwards" but I had a clan of four under siege at NEAF on my own, I ran into the jail building and quickly ran back out after encountering another player. I waited for ages in the ATC with my gun out of the window and then eventually made a move to the (now closed) door. One of the players seemingly hit me through the wall as I sat next to the door and it swang open, I was bleeding and managed to sneak round back and bandage just in time. I carefully placed myself in a position where I could see into the stairwell and leaned out, emptying a good 30 rounds into the stair area, killing the camping guy with his Mosin and his banzai mate who must have had a suicide note prepared as he bumrushed me with an axe, the third guy just sat peering around the corner, taking pot shots with his Mosin and I managed to get him pretty quickly. I then heard a voice "don't shoot, don't shoot. I'm friendly", I slowly crept in with my weapon shouldered and opened up on the last guy, his last words were "you're a wanker" They fired first and made first attempts to kill me, his plea for help was clearly either a bluff, or the quick realisation that I'd just annihilated his mates, anyway, the story here is that I waited it out, I knew I'd be followed and most likely nailed on open ground by their Mosins. I assessed the situation, then took them out one by one. I was also under seige last night in Berezino on a quiet server. A friend and I just bluffed it and said we had a few guys with us and the guy then surrendered, the only problem was, that he left the building and put himself in a perfect spot for us to be sniped, so we took the option to take him out, rather than be ambushed. Note: The very same day, I geared a guy and found him food, water, a bag, a fireaxe AND gave him bandages while defending him from zombies. I'm not a bandit!

    What is the ingame map good for?

    I've been struggling to combine any maps since the last update. I can't combine any map with any other so I just drop them and use a third party window...
  11. Sometimes (especially if I am looting another player and the server restarts) I log in with the dead guy's gear, panic log and re-log with my own!

    How are players finding me!

    I've been in full servers overlooking Elektro and not seen a soul! I wish I saw people!

    Your first kill

    My first solo kill (that I can remember) was either a sniper that was poaching new spawns or some dude with an M4 and gas mask who was stupidly eating in a prison building on an airfield. The first actual kill I witnessed was when me and a friend were trekking across open ground and saw some guy run out of the small military camp in the west, we dropped to ground and took a warning shot, he sprinted off so we moved across to the wall. As we turned to enter the camp, said guy was on his way back after dropping off his backpack, he went to his knees as we asked him to get down and stop moving. We were going to let him go, but he was a mouthy irritating southerner who wouldn't shut up about his crew coming. My friend put one in his skull and then the server restarted. Nowadays I just tend to avoid people, I will KOS someone who looks like a bandit, but I aim to help new spawns get out of the kill zones where they tend to spawn.

    Remove 'sniper' rifles?

    I agree with making ammo rarer, 7.62 ammo for the Mosin isn't that bad, but I have 600rds of M4 ammo and I don't have an M4, I find magazines for everywhere. (I take them and empty them around the world)
  15. this thread is tl;dr, but as a new ish forum user, I'd rather they fixed the whole clipping zombies/zombies spawning in aggro'd already, sight issues and the rest of the broken stuff in the game (The whole weapon attachement flicker has been broken from day 1, it's more of a priority than spraying guns). I also dislike the whole issue I have where I get a zombie spawning behind me when I've cleared a town and am sat in the tree line away from it eating. Personally, I think the zombies should spawn in at the server start like before, the player should be able to clear a town and freely loot it if they wish, or sneak through. I really don't think having to karate chop six or so zombies that are spawning in front of you as a new spawn while is fun/productive. The zombies should then spawn in again a small amount of time after the player has exited the town "boundary", possibly in the trees, so they can naturally wander into the town and headbang to their hearts content.
