I'm completely serious, I've had problems with gaming addiction before. But now I'm waking up at 4am just to get on DayZ 'early' in european time to kill people while they're half awake/tired. Someone killed me the other day and I overturned the desk in anger because I was about to hit my 30th kill on that character. I just felt like the wind was sucked out of my chest when i happened, it took me 5 hours of playing to get enough kills after that to be 'satisfied'.

If you click easy mode a large, retractable phallic member should lunge out of your seat and into your rectum, then a message should be displayed on screen that calls you a fag and asks if you 'enjoy it in the butt'.

We found this newly spawned whipper snapper on the coast, a perfect candidate to fill our slave position. What is a slave for? Fetching food/water. Running into dangerous area's to see if there's any snipers. Dancing on command. Being that there were 4 of us, we really needed a helper, someone who wouldn't ask too many questions. "You there!" we shout, as he runs from us, startled and afraid. "We're friendly", we assure him. Slave (as we'll call him) doesn't have a mic, so he can only talk back on direct channel by typing. We explain to him that he's going to be our slave, and will hence forth be referred to as such. Slave is a good slave, running into dangerous area's on command and fetching us water from nearby lakes under the watchful eye of our sniper (lest he try to escape his bondage). What happens next, no one expected, no one could of planned for. Slave is ordered to check a barn for food and comes out with a winchestor rifle, slave shoots one of his masters and is promptly shot down with a hail of m16 fire. I was APPALLED that slave done this. It completely flies in the face of realism that a slave would rebel against his masters like this. If rocket doesn't do something then this whole game is going to turn into a slaves rebelling against their masters fest. I don't quite know what the solution to this could be, but I'm going to tentatively imply that there needs to be 'slave safe zones', area's in which slaves can't fight back against their rightful owners in such a way. Slave masters aren't even going to play DayZ anymore if something isn't done about this. Immediately.

We had planned to allow him a more dignified end, he'd be allowed to salute and be shot like a real man, instead of gunned down like a rabid dog.

I 'liked' your post, a troll after my own heart...

You trolling me?

It's strange that people don't seem to be having desync issues, everyone I know is having them, so bad its unplayable.

All servers had ping of like -40, it's not a ping issue.

I just put a guy down outside elektro who was begging for morphine, was it you by any chance? I felt like it was the kindest thing to do, like a lame horse that can't run anymore.

I'm going to bet all you super hard whiners would be the first ones to curl up and cry for mommy.

I log out. There's nothing to stop me. I just log out and PUFFF! they're gone! It's like magic. Until this game mechanic is fixed I'm going to continue to logout when a zombie see's me. I'm not a bitch though, if a player shoots at me I take my death like a man.

Seriously, it's about 1000 meters, wtf? And don't even get me started on the night time draw distance, 400 meters MAYBE? Come on, let is see some stuff further than the end of our noses.

There's just no reason to die if you know what you're doing. You'll only die if you choose to, by going to cherno or engaging other teams of players in fights. For the last 3 days I've been camping cherno and elektro with an AS50, I don't go into the cities, nor do I loot kills. I just shoot idiots, 45 and counting. 3 guys, elektro hospital roof, 1km, 3 shots, 3 kills, none of them had time to react, all 3 shots had been fired before the first shot landed. They had m16s, aks, ghillie suits - all dead. The price of being morons I guess. I've seen other, competent players though, that I just couldn't kill. They moved with the cover, they zig zagged in the open, they watched their surroundings. One guy was climbing to the hospital roof, seen the bodies and decided against it, he was smart. The next two weren't, they got shot. The [derp] locust of DayZ want to ruin it, they'll leave after they do - short attention spans with no desire to learn how to play. People seriously need to spend less time on here asking for safe zones, removal of PvP, penalties for 'bandits', and just get onto the game and learn stuff, excuses will NOT be tolerated. Grow up.

So you think you are competent player because you snipe people at the starter cities from a click away. What server do you play on? I would love to see this "competence" of yours lmfao... That's right bro, I'm slick as shit. When I kill people up close I play the A-team music on direct com, so they know a real pro is killing them.

They never had a chance to Alt + F4

This exactly. Don't like my play style? Then kill me. No moaning, no sobbing, no name calling. If I can kill 3 guys and loot their gear, you can kill me and loot mine. Took me all of 10 minutes to figure out exactly where they were, flank them...and ruin their shit. Every kill, with about half a dozen exceptions has been retards on roofs.

I'm a god damn sniper, what you want me to do?

So when is PvP ok in your opinion? If I were to befriend some people, then kill them, would that be any better? What about killing people for loot, is that ok? I just killed some guy for food, not fun. What's the difference? He's still dead and probably spawning in kamenka. Or is it just never ok because you don't like dying? Right now I'm playing as a maniac on a hill with a rifle. Next time I die I may choose to play as a city raiding survivor.

Well, 'mate', while I agree with you about co-operative gameplay needing to be encouraged, this cannot come at the expense of freedom in the game - since that IS the game. And I took this rifle off a sniper I killed with a hand grenade, or more accurately, 3 snipers huddling in a shrub, safe to say I had a giggle at that one. I do not server hop, I lay in wait, like a owl. People cry because people die, they'd die and cry no matter how they met their end.

Dayz is not challenging in a pvp sense, its not even a competitive game. Its the only game I can enjoy playing with casual RL friends, who dont want put in the time for training. There is not much skill in this game, you live forever if you're patient enough, and if you wanna have fun instead you play risky and get exciting scenarios. I guess you must suck hard at competitive fps if you come to a casual atmospheric game like dayz, abuse some camping spot to shoot at newbees and start talking about skill. Don't mix up your fantasy roleplaying world with the real world, dude. DayZ is obviously challenging enough for there to be this much crying on the forums about PvP deaths. And I'm not abusing anything, you expect me to come get into hand to hand combat with the AK wielding masses of elektro with a sniper rifle? You're basically making the assumption that this game is entirely about PvP. Everything you mention is about killing other players, nothing about zombie survival. Maybe try an actual deathmatch game where killing others is the objective, or maybe you suck so much at that you have to do it in a survival game? Because zombies are a massive threat, right? No, zombies aren't the danger, I am the danger. Yeah, maybe since I kill people on DayZ I don't have ÜBER SKILLZ at other games? Maybe I'm a loser in real life? Maybe I'm fat? etc etc etc. Yeah

There's plenty of cover, learn to use it.

Right. So if zombies began to kill everyone on earth your first thought would be to find a sniper rifle, and start killing those survivors. I completely understand shooting on sight, if people pose any risk to your survival then go ahead and take them out, but actively hunting down people who pose zero threat is just sociopathic. You'll just keep saying 'LOL teh stoopid noob' but in reality you're playing a survival game. You're not even killing people for supplies, it's just cold blooded murder for shit and giggles. Fucking survival game you moron. Wow, no need for the personal attacks there, you'll hurt my delicate feelings. Yeah it's a survival game, I survive by putting people down before they have the supplies or equipment to kill me with. I imagine this is the face you make after I snipe you.

Challenge. People are actually trying not to die. Dayz is not challenging in a pvp sense, its not even a competitive game. Its the only game I can enjoy playing with casual RL friends, who dont want put in the time for training. There is not much skill in this game, you live forever if you're patient enough, and if you wanna have fun instead you play risky and get exciting scenarios. I guess you must suck hard at competitive fps if you come to a casual atmospheric game like dayz, abuse some camping spot to shoot at newbees and start talking about skill. Don't mix up your fantasy roleplaying world with the real world, dude. DayZ is obviously challenging enough for there to be this much crying on the forums about PvP deaths.
