You do know this is a survival game, not COD, the aim is not to run around and kill aimlessly, but rather to gather resources and survive.

I suppose it was comical the way they took each other out, and yes i understand shotgun is small enough to fit into backpack, but i wouldnt call it "hidden" its simply stored there. To take three guys out all with weapons and you (from what i understand) with bare fists, i find that hard to believe, unless their pc's were shit and game lagged crazily. Dont get me wrong im sure u are skilled player. Also you called them bandits, why? You ran after them, didnt try to make communication, technically you are the bandit, dont you agree. Also it seems like those 3 belong in elektro at full server, running around like headless chooks Anyway it would have been good to see this in a video, with benny hill music. Cheers

I dont think amount of weapons should be the problem, but rather a weight. So if you choose to carry 4 rifles then a full backpack of beans is out of question, etc.

I wouldnt reccomend closing doors once inside a building, you will get stuck and those extra couple of seconds it takes you to line up in front of the door to open it, zombie can make u bleed.

"You got killed by ......" at the end instead of just "you are dead" could solve this issue

Unless u have a bandage or an extra shirt to use as bandage do not fight with a zombie even with an axe.

Sorry but you ran after them, they defended themselves. You cannot hide shotguns, you just assumed he had nothing, and thought an easy target. Sorry but I would say you are a bandit. Also I wouldn't brag how you took them both out, could have been a glitch. I have had similar accounts where my fists were better than an axe and vice versa.

Are u sure that someone didnt shoot you? Or could be a glitch.

I have walked through walls due to a glitch, im not a cheater, hopefully i dont get banned. Is it possible for cheaters to be using hacks to gain weapons and ammo only to sell those accounts???

Actually cryengine has an excellent river system.

If you guys think they will be able to remove hackers completely, you are kidding yourself. Games are controlled by scripts, scripts can be edited to suit whatever needs a hacker might have. And just like I did 15 years ago playing original DOOM with walk through wall/ infinite ammo cheat, there are little brats ( just like I was) who can't be f***ed to play properly

Actually there is so much loot spawning that there is no need for killing at all, why, because so much bullets going on around. Simple formula, make zombies more of a threat and lessen amount of bullets and bam I guarantee kos will be reduced by at least 50%

Labelling a player would take away from realism. The real way would be to remember their face and name, ofcourse this is impossible in a game that thousands of players play. In a real life situations, people will kill one another for food and survival. Dayz people are killing for bragging rights, and nothing else.

Rare? I come across 2-3 every time I play, but I know when time comes and I need one, they will all dissaper.

Most every 4 hours

Completely disagree with you on weapons, this is Russia not USA. Not every household has an arsenal of weapons, therefore weapons will be rare, snipers and high powered weapons would be almost non existent, however hunting guns like double barrels and hand guns should be common. And places that do spawn weapons should be riddled with zombies. Completely agree with you on shelter. First rule in any survival scenario is finding shelter. I have found few secluded areas that I would love to be able to use as shelter. Dayz mod makes very good use of this feature and if standalone is half as good, can't wait. I can see they use some buildings from mod in standalone, so I don't really know why they can't transfer scripts and models over to standalone right now. Vehicles is not a big deal for me, cars and trucks I could do with but helicopters please keep out. Let's face it fuel for a helicopter would be impossible to find. This is a survival game and game is heading towards realism, I have been in a real war scenario, and I can tell you food is a real problem, it was nothing like an apocalypse, but few months into the war and food was very hard to come by. Heaps of can openers but no cans, so I would also like to see less food and drinks going around, but also you shouldn't have to go hungry every half an hour, use of water bottles, wells and rivers/ponds is an excellent idea, so maybe we will see use for all those pumpkins and apple trees in the future as well.

I came across a first fully geared friendly, yesterday. I was in army barracks and as i looked up, there in front of me was a player, i had no guns just an axe, and he was too far for me to reach before getting my head blown off. I just gave up, lifted my hands of the keyboard and waited for the black screen. He just stood there, i wasnt dead yet, so decided to lift my hand up in a hello gesture, fearing i might put the middle finger up by mistake. What a relief i had when he put his hand up as well, i could have given him a hug. It renewed my faith in dayz mankind.

Happened to me as well, and it seems it's happening a lot. I have seen a cheat on YouTube, where the map points out other players, and cheater is able to spawn automatically there. Is that the problem or just coincidence?

Does anyone know if loot has a time limit. I mean if not picked up in certain time, will it dissapear and appear as something else. is it possible to drop the loot in a secluded place and come back for it the next day, same server obviously

Kos will never truly stop, but you have to give players a reason NOT to draw gun at everything that moves, if they have one bullet, they are less likely to shoot another player, especially the one with no visible loot on him such as backpack, also firing a bullet in towns should draw so much zombies that it would be hard to escape. Players are most likely to run into each other in towns and especially everywhere where there is guns. People loot buildings even when have a full supply of food and weapons, because there is nothing to do outside these areas. Chopping trees for shelter, hunting for food are just few things players could do (if added) to avoid need to go into towns.

I dont get players who say "i dont shoot first" so how exactly do you survive in this game? I mean if the other player shoots first or even punches u first, its game over for you.

I completely agree with the person starting this thread, although i wouldnt just quit and walk away. What i witnessed yesterday at elektro was enough to make everyone upset. Not one player was attempting to play this game as survival game, but rather a run around all out brawl. One idiot even chased me into the woods firing at me with a gun, i didnt even have a backpack on, fresh spawn. He just wanted to brag about a kill and nothing else. Even zombies were smart to leave elektro, not one to be seen, ha ha. Maybe time out should be introduced, once you die you get a time out for few minutes before logging back in.

Im still looking for a friendly. Even when i approach them with hands up they still kill me. I have a full backpack, he has a full backpack, why the fuck would you shoot for? I respawned in elektro and decided to give a full server a go since i had nothing to loose. Oh my god, was it a fucking mess, people were running around like headless chooks, everyone punching everyone. A great game, but fuckwit players, who seem to be playing the game for wrong reasons completely. Maybe had something to do with all the voices i heard were 15yos or younger.

Im thinking this is something that will be added later on, hard to tell these days, games like these are fan started, then taken over by big companies and ruined. But i would like to see zombies outside of towns, and also spawning inside buildings.

This topic is proof there is too much loot going on, why would you tamper with food or medicine and leave it behind in a day where there is shortage of it
