I bought the SA like, 9 months ago now? I used to find it a really amusing game. Most things worked fine, I could gear up and go interact with other players. Today I logged in again to see how it has changes and it just was completely unplayable for me. Apparantly there are a whole lot of new spawns up north or in the general middle of nowhere, but the loot you want STILL is only at airports or cities like elektro. I don't want seventeen raincoats and a rotten tomato, I want something that helps me survive. After a few tries I spawned in Solnichniy and I was like "Hey I know this place, now I can go to Elektro." Some moments after leaving Solnichniy I had three zombies chasing me. I couldn't even loot random houses along the way becauses zombies just don't stop at anything. I finally reached Elektro and rushed in the school building to find something to kill the zombies with. By now the zombies stalking me had found allies and I was being hunted down by six or seven of them. I found a pickaxe and thought "It used to be doable to get rid of zombies with an axe to the head, I'm sure this will work." I ran out on the street to try and take down the zombies one by one. I wasn't able to get a single hit in while they were able to hit me from all over the place, even when I kept running away from where they were striking. I ran away from the fight into a random building, and sure enough, all seven zombies followed me. They crammed up the doorway so I couldn't get out, and then I died. Zombies used to be reasonably normal, what happened to them that they are now completely impossible to deal with without guns?

Before any of this could work we need private hives.

I believe it happens when you get killed while in combatlog mode, not sure though.

http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2 I got this one and It's absolutely amazing.

You know you can be arrested for that?

Only if they come in camo

I don't think interacting with people i.e. exchanging stuff and pretending to roleplay in DayZ is fun at all.

You really should learn to aim and/or preserve ammo

I made it to about 6 minutes when I realised you weren't gonna drink any cleaning alcohol.

Cheating becomes fun because of topics like this.

Where in the wilderness are you?

A full-out warzone in a city. A large free for all with small teams banding up and killing eachother.

Warzones in Elektro is the most fun I've had in ages. Much more fun than running trough the woods in full camo

I was in elektro I had Izh shotgun (loaded) I was at fire station I saw two people at the street It was like [me]_____________[A]____ I decided to KOS them both because I can I shoot at A. A falls down. B falls down. A moment of glory struck me, I had just killed two men with a single shotgun shot. I took a picture to show my friends where the people were. I later looked at the picture. god fucking damn you zombie

gib horses

I take it nobody IRL has ever hit you with a rake on the head.

You are dead

Because that makes sense

You got killed when you logged out.

Don't do it, it creates mustard gas and kills you

A series of events just happened to me, and in the end it turned out so awesome that I felt the urge to tell it to any and all on this fine forum. Start scenario: I am in elektro, I have basic gear and a blaze double rifle. I was in an elektro pvp server chilling around when eventually I got struck by one zombie too many and bled to death. To my relief I spawned on the coast of Elektro. I ran to the place I died and sure enough, my body was there. I am super happy, eat and drink up and walk out. Ten seconds later I get a headshot from an m4. Sure enough, I spawn in Elektro yet again. I run to the place I then died to see if I could grab my blaze and take revenge. I see my body and the people that killed me are a bit away from it. I run around a building to loot it when another player appears from behind somewhere and start shooting at me. He misses, I run inside a building: No message recieved. I log in to a new server where my friend was on and find that I lost the blaze and backpack I had looted seconds earlier. I felt deep grief about my awesome Blaze, but hey, atleast I was still in Elektro. I start looting the first firestation: nothing but a fire axe Police station: nothing Then it's time for the second firestation. I find an Amphibia S with a single bullet in it. I didn't have any gun yet so figured why not just in case. Then, I hear reloading. A lot. Oh no! Someone logged in and he has atleast two guns. I take my newfound .22 pistol and walk up. I see someone that represents an American Navy SEAL looking out the window. I think he wasn't loaded yet because he didn't notice me. I shot him once in the face with my only bullet and he stood still yet. I take out my axe. My inner viking rage appears and I find myself hacking him to several hundred pieces with my mighty weapon. Eventually he falls down. I was extremely happy: suddenly I had military gear. A lot of it was ruined thanks to my axe-rampage, but I was able to get a fnx with mags and optics, a loaded sks. I go back down with the sks in my hand. I walk trough the back door and terror struck my heart. I saw two people: - A military-cowboy hybrid - A bambi with no clothes at all. It's obvious that it was the military guy from just before and a friend. I panic and unload my SKS on them, killing them both (they must be pretty bad shots) I couldn't believe my luck: the cowboy had a mosin with long range scope and tons of bullets, which I gladly took. I also got a magnum with some bullets. I play around with my inventory for a bit, removing all ruined items and stuff. Suddenly, another bambi appears trough the door, his only intent was to kill me. I run all the way up the tower and grab my magnum. He came up moments later. I was waiting above the stairs and headshotted him. Anxious, I go back down again only to find another familiar face. I assume, at least, that it was the other guy I also killed. He had taken the sks from the ground that I left there, stupid me left bullets in it. I unload my magnum on him and he drops down, one last time. In fear of them respawning nearby again, I run out of Elektro and into the hills, where I rearrange my inventory. I started as a bambi, now I have almost full military clothing, two good handguns and a mosin with LRS. Elektro, you're amazing.

What you are describing is actually a really "valid" (for lack of a better word) playstyle. I was referring to a lot of the people on hardcore servers who walk trough the woods forever, then point their shotgun at the edge of a town for 2 hours to make absolutely sure no one is there, and then get killed anyway.

Yup, they're awesome.

There was this one guy complaining about food

That is true. But I know for a fact that he would have killed me, had I not taken advantage of his logging in. This I am doing exactly as you: keeping my character alive.
