I have been playing DayZ for about 2 weeks straight now with 2 other friends. We have been learning the game together, how to survive from sickness, fix broken legs, hold people hostage, bandit, friendly...etc together. It has been a very fun experience and probably the most fun I've had in a long time since Minecraft. In our group we always try to take people hostage instead of KOS, which is hard because 90% of our encounters it's 1vs3 and that 1 guy tries to be superman and KOS all 3 of us at once. We were looting the Balota airfield when one of my friends had to go AFK for a minute. He hid inside 1 building while the other guy and I went to check out the next one. Less than a minute later I heard "Drop your weapons and come out with your hands up!". Normally this would have been a proper holdup, but me and my friend had thought it was our other friend who was AFK just messing with us, which it wouldn't have been the first time since we do that to each other all the time. Naturally after assuming it was my friend I held down my Caps Lock and yelled "NO YOU COME IN HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO TICKLE THE S*** OUT OF EACH OTHER!!!" in a very assertive voice. The guy responded with "ok this is weird" and at the same time my friend said he was back in Teamspeak. I asked if that guy outside was him and he said no. We went out to investigate and the guy had combat logged just around the corner of the building. I had felt bad for not taking him hostage, it was a good opportunity missed since there were 2 of us and 1 of him, but in my eyes combat logging is a pretty idiotic move. So I took my SKS out and shot him as he was combat logging, looted his mosin and gave it to my friend, stripped him naked and hid the rest of his body. Just wondering is it considered cheap to kill someone combat logging or do they just deserve it? I guess I was a little too assertive about wanting to tickle him and scared him off. I only wish I had my OBS recording at the time but I had forgot to push the key to record...normally I record the entire time I spend in game.

It's hard when you break your leg. Always carry a stick and some rags (or bandages, not sure if they workd) and you can drag them into each other to craft a splint. You can then use that splint on yourself to fix your broken leg. I've only done it once and I guess it fixes it instantly because my friend stood up right away. If you don't have anything to craft a splint you can only hope someone will come by to put you out of your misery or help you,

Finally someone with the knowledge!

It's happened more often than not but when My friends and I finish looting an airfield server always resets, or it happens in the middle of looting. So we change server because we can never remember which server we are on, and since we're there might as well loot again...then that server resets. It's frustrating to say the least, way too much time is spent in the airfield but how can you pass up free ammo and food? We do take a bit longer to loot the place than we should but we're hoping to get into some player interaction with actual communication out on an airfield. It has happened a few times but mostly it's 1 or 2 other guys who try to KoS one of us without realizing there are 2 more of us. It never ends well for those folks.
