Hey guys, While I am relatively new to the game, I have noticed most players I encountered or seen are wearing military camouflage or tactical shirts. I understand where this is coming from as it gives them an advantage in concealment against other players. However, that makes civilian clothing mere stepping stones until you can make yourself look like a commando. As of now, everyone simply dumps their jeans, shoes and jacket as soon as they find TTsKO stuff. I'm wondering whether it is possible to give bonuses to civilian clothing in the future expanded PVE contents, such as being lighter, weather resistant, stay pristine longer or keep your warmer in cold weather. That will provide reasons for players to actually utilize them.

Why do you guys need more than one can opener? Mine is worn, but it's all I need. If it gets ruined, I can still open cans with my axe until I find a new one.

I own civilian AR-15 with 12.5" barrel, shorter than a standard M4A1's 14.5" barrel. I have no problem whatsoever hitting my targets at 200m when I'm at the range. I don't consider myself an expert shot by any stretch, and I probably go shooting once every month. There is really no explanation for the atrocious precision of the M4 in game. If they are doing it for game balance purposes, then I'm fine with it. However if they're going for realism, it's laughable.

I don't mind the rain, but it occurs a little too often.

I ran for 45 minutes across the map on an empty server to find military loots at NWAF, only to find it had been looted and I ran all the way for nothing. Rage quit that day.

I'll probably put up some building to attract bandits. When they come I'll farm them for gear.

I broke my legs on several occasions climbing ladders. I now avoid them like the plague.

I almost want to break my legs for all the splints, almost.

If I don't have my weapon raised and he's still circling, he's good as target.

When they yell friendly, but their character is moving sideways like an animal circling. If you see that, unload on him before he gets the drop on you.

Ducking zombies when you're a fresh spawn, especially since you're on a hunger/thirst timer.

Will trade my fully upgraded M4 for AK-74M when it comes out. I have a special spot for Kalashnikovs.

Just because a guy is yelling "friendly", does not mean he has no intention to shoot you after you lowered your guard.

I'm sure we have at least had it once, moments where we get so frustrated or angry that we immediately Alt+F4. I have only been playing a little more than a week and I've already had two. Both times were related to broken legs due to glitch. The first is when I was running along the road in the bushes towards Stary Sabor, when out of random my toon groaned and laid prone in the ground. I realized my leg had been broken by those infamous sharp grass everyone had been talking about. However, I wasn't worried at that point, knowing I had two morphine pen in my first aid kit. I was instantly enraged when I dropped the kit on the ground to open its contents. The kit simply disappeared in the grass, leaving me stranded in the middle of nowhere. I cursed like a sailor and closed the game right then and there. Second is when I was looting Balota airfield, where I was going through the MP building near the west side of the airfield. I struck gold in that particular run, finding a compass, handcuffs, ACOG scope, TTsKO pants and FNX 45 all in pristine condition. I put all my new loot inside the pants and decided to go downstairs. As I turn around to leave, the dreaded groan was heard again. Screen went grey for a second and my legs were broken for no reason. Worst of all, everything I picked up was just ruined in the pants. I used my last morphine too, and was basically stuck in a kill zone. That was my second rage quit in that week. You story?

I saw a guy stuck in a wall inside the ATAC tower after being bumped into it by a zombie. I let him live. The end~

Oh I was reading alright, until I saw roll play and glanced at the caps. After that I decided your were an idiot, well just a little bit.

I guess I will "roll" play a troll then.

I had multiple encounters where people would yell "friendly" at me, then proceed to shoot at me as soon as I lowered my gun.

Going for a UN peacekeeper look:

My ideal FPS game would be a blend of ARMA 3's tactical realism/ballistics/scale with Battlefield 3's character control/destructive environment.

Am I the only one who have trouble hitting zombies with the axe? The point of impact never seems to be in the center crosshair, but rather to the sides.

Depends on the server population and whether I decide to look for a fight. When you are fully geared up, there isn't really much to do but to kill other players. The side effect is that cuts down your life expectancy.

Hi guys, I started playing DayZ about 5 days ago. I lost my first two character while learning the basic survival of this game in the first couple of days. My RL friend gave me the basic gears on my current character and took me around the map to gather better equipment. He advised me that since I was new to the game, I should stick to low population servers (<10 players) when gearing up. I spent the last few days looting around Cherno, SW airstrip and the satellite cities surround it. Now the problem is that everytime I encounter a player, I don't usually spot him/her until they're near. I've been incredibly lucky so far, as the three players that came close were friendly and didn't put a round in my head. While I did get ambushed and shot at a few times, I was fortunate enough to run away. However, I am well aware that I am running around like a blind noob and my luck will run out sooner or later. I seem to have trouble spotting other players until they are within 50 meters of me. When I was shot at, I had no idea which direction the bullets were from either. Just want to ask you veterans out there about how to improve my situational awareness. While I know everybody eventually gets killed in the game, I just want to survive longer. Any quick tips will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have already fully geared up despite spending only a week in the game. The PvE side of things needs a lot of improvement and content. As of now, there isn't really much to do after you obtained decent gear but to shoot others.

I find that if you break your legs, your pants will always get ruined with the items inside it. Funny thing is the boot remained pristine. Now the problem is that stairs, ladders and even tight spaces glitch all the time, so breaking your legs due to bug occurs more often than you'd think. I really think they should increase the spawn rate of wooden stick and morphine until they fix it.
