Seriously, i don't know if this has been suggested before but i think it could be done. There are people who like being heroes, there are people who like to KoS and there are people that only play the game to scavenge and loot or trade. Why not make you choose between those 3 or more roles in the character selection screen? Players would be identified as each of their "personalities" (let's not call it roles and keep it as realistic as possible) so that everyone could identify each other properly and act accordingly, sure it would remove the surprise element but let's face it, just how many times have you been killed not wanting any harm whatsoever, i have been through that so many times i lost count. My last death which was a few hours ago was literally me just looting and a guy rushing me with an AK out of nowhere, boom there goes all my stuff just like that, again... it just gets boring. I'm not mad that he killed me, i'm growing used to it, but perhaps if i knew what he was or if he knew what i was we would've come to an agreement and shit perhaps wouldn't go down so fast, and it would help to know who is what and not just do the same shit all over again, perhaps create a community of some sort. There would be punishment for Heroes killing other Heroes or Traders/Scavangers/New spawns, not sure how that would work but i'm willing to listen to your opinions. Instead of choosing in the character selection perhaps your personality could be determined by the color of the armband you use? Let's face it, most people that are teaming won't need armbands to distinguish themselves so it could be used for that, just an idea. EX: Blue: Hero, Green: Peaceful/Looter, Yellow:Scavenger/Trader, Red: Bandit, and other type of personalities with other colors. I'll gladly listen to your opinions even if you think this sucks, i just think it could bring a new dynamic to the game and make it a bit better and enjoyable.

That's where the punishment side of it would come in, still not sure how it would work.

It's funny how you get punished for tweaking a game to your benefit.. because fuck you. I've done the exact same thing and i keep getting crashes because of it, re-installing right now.

Once upon a time there was a fully geared person that found a car, approached it and died. The end. PS: The car killed him.

I love you! I just saved it, phew.. So i guess this randomly scoped and loaded mossin i found near a fountain was the same bug for some dude..

I found a random mossin with a scope in a city but i had my repeater so i took it in my hand to give it to my friend later. But this ridiculous bug that i forgot about made me lose it, and tons of other guns i find if i accidentally trigger this. You can't do anything else when you are holding a gun, if you do your gun will disappear forever into darkness. This is REALLY annoying and it just happened to me, does it happen to anyone else too?

The servers decide that since it can't load my character it resets everything, screw this. You really don't want me to play do you.

Ok, i know i have done nothing but complain in my threads, but this is just getting ridiculous. I died a few days ago when i was with my friend, some guy camping in some window shot me in the head and my friend managed to leave, now today i decided to go on a mini-adventure by myself and see how it all turned out, i start looting in some strange area i've never been before and move around finding different cities, exploring is fun bla bla bla. I meet these 2 guys, they instantly stop me and handcuff me (Bear in mind i had barely nothing, just a pickaxe i had found and some other supplies) they proceed to strip me down, as usual, and leave my stuff there on the ground. After a bit of harrasing one of the guys punches me in the face and i get knocked out, strangely enough my screen doesn't go black and i see the guy ready o axe me in the face, he proceeds to miss all his hits and just presumes i'm dead and they leave me there on the ground, i actually thought this was a bug but i managed to struggle out of the cuffs and pick up my stuff and run away. After this the server restarted and i felt relieved. Entering another server getting ready for more things to happen i find a crossbow and equip it with my sights that i had found, i also found an arrow but it wasn't for my crossbow so i decided to cut down trees with a recently found axe to create a bow. I get interrupted by some dude with his little rifle that holds me up once again, sends me into a garage and tells me to sit, i couldn't even remember the sit button so i start spamming the F keys, but then he just says sorry and shoots me in the face. Now i won't say i didn't have fun with this, it kept me on edge and it was a nice adventure, but seriously, if you want something from me just freaking take it and i'll go, hell take all my weapons, everything, just stop killing me for no goddamn reason, especially if i can't even fight back or if i don't wanna fight back, cause there i am, i could've even tried to run around you and meleed your face off, but no, i listne to what you have to say, and then bam, just shoot me in the face. I hope killing zombies in this game is more rewarding and challenging cause this is getting out of hand.

Let's hope the roles don't switch someday.

A guy shoots my friend in the back at night in the big airfield as soon as we spawn, i stay in a corner scared shitless only armed with a shotgun, i choose to wait for him to try and go after me or try to loot my friend's body, a shotgun should be enough for a close quarter surprise shot, right? NO. I oversee the guy in the grass scouting the area in prone, i wait for him to make his move and he moves around the wall, he's about to enter and i'm more than ready to fill him with pellets, he walks in and i fill him up with accurate shots, the thing is, the hits didn't count, i don't know what happened but i'm 100% positively sure that my shots hit, yet he just shoots me twice with an AK and i'm dead. WTF was this? He was walking straight and yet he managed to stay alive and kill me. I don't even know if he died because THE BLACK SCREEN OF YOU ARE DEAD DOESN'T LET ME SEE SHIT. Screw this, i'm gonna either wait for the hit detection to get better and wonder how the fuck is that guy still alive.

I die, spawn near where i die, go to take my revenge, server restarts or i have session lost and i lose all my shit. Chances are they hid my body anyway, but this pisses me off so much, it's ALWAYS after i die.

After dying in the previous day with my friends from bandits i decided to log in and collect some loot for us. I started off at Kamishovo on what we call the "loot house", probably a police station or something, when i get confronted by a random player with a fireaxe that helps me clear zeds and bandages me. He looked really friendly and we went inside the station for food and supplies carefully because he thought there was someone inside, thankfully there was no one and we shared loot and weapons. After leaving the station we found another friendly who also seemed nice, so we then agreed to journey to elektro to gather some loot. On the way to elektro we get ambushed by some guy with a loaded weapon from behind, we run for it as we get to the other station looking for some ammo for our guns, sadly we get jumped at, we didnt have much so i wasnt that sad, but i was sad that i lost some potential good friends. I spawn i cherno (i think?) and proceed to go to the station for loot, a guy confronts me and says "guy in the station im unarmed dont worry!", i recognized his voice! It was the guy i was with! We started laughing and comenting about who could have killed us, we omce again go lool for loot. On our way we get ambushed by an absurd amount of zeds, we ran like hell while laughing about the ridiculous hits we were taking and bandaging every few minutes. We got to the hospital and my new found friend found a mosin, and i made a sawed off shotty, but still no ammo in sight.. On the ground floor tons of zombied eagered for our flesh, then it happened. My friend bugged out of the hospital and broke his leg, we were basicly screwed at this point, but we laughed as shit. I guarded him from zombies and bandaged him as he screamed "go on without me! I will cherish our moment together just go!" i refused to go and acted out like a big movie scene or something, the zombies pursuing us were only a few as some of them got stuck inside the hospital. Our only hope was to find either morphine or sticks, but no luck with either of those. Seeing him crawling around made me feel bad but we still laughed it out. After trying to get something to patch him i see yet another zed aproaching, armed with a pipe wrench i found i proceed to beat him up, yet the bastard changed aggro and 1 hitted my crawling friend without me even noticing he was dead. After killing the zed i check the guy and hes dead "NOOOOOOO" i said, i told him my name and thank you for the memorable moment, i didnt even get to hear his name but im sure ill find him someday, i kept his mosin so i will remember him... Until i die again that is. I hope you watch this and contact me my friend, i had a blast. Lemme hear your own stories, these stories and players are what makes this game priceless.

Kind of my fault on that one, i posted my topic too soon by a missclick on my phone and edited saying id finish the story.

Haha, these types of encounters are rather cool too. Glad no one shot.

Here i was, playing DayZ with a friend, was all geared up with an M4a1 without a magazine and lots of food and drinks, a compass, medical supplies, everything. It felt good being in the upper hand, and i even had a Wolf mask which look incredibly awesome. I journeyed to find my friend near shore, i found him, helped him, and we journeyed onward to the beginning of our adventure. We saw a survivor running from 2 zombies, i instantly shouted from my mic: "Don't worry my friend, we'll help you!" I shot one zombie down, loaded the chamber with another bullet and shot the other one down too. He thanked us, and went on with his life, it felt good helping someone else. And so we went forward, until we found a house with some clothes for my friend. Suddenly, i see some guy running like a mad man towards us with a rake as a weapon. I should've said stop or i'll shoot, but i panicked and just screamed at my friend (we were on skype): "DUDE THERE'S SOMEONE RUNNING TOWARDS US" this guy starts striking me like mad, with one hit i lose blood and injure my arms and legs, i shoot him once hitting him in the belly, it didn't do anything. He kept hitting me before i was able to load my gun's chamber with another bullet and i die.. Everything.. lost.. in a matter of seconds.. my friend , trying to help me, hits him with a chainsaw but with no effect.. he still died.. we lost everything, my mask, my guns, all of my supplies.. gone.. I raged, i kept silent for a few minutes, and then re-spawned.. Now i'm really going to be scarred for life, and if i see anyone i might kill them on sight. Thank you, dear random bandit, i hope all of my stuff suits you well, and i sure as hell hope you don't get shot in the back of the head and pissed on.

I panicked, and i tried to make him stop. I had no magazine and i had to load each bullet in the chamber. I had a bat as a melee weapon but i was in too big of a stress to even be reminded of it. Of course i'm bad at the game, i freaking started it yesterday.
