Yes, I have, also wondering about the city North of BPP that is Zed free, has tons of loot and is pretty much people free right now. Is that for urban PVP w/o the zed threat?

There is a way out, try crouching or prone. That usually works for me if I have fallen through stairs.

You are gonna die, accept that and move on or go find another game. When you come back you return to the in-game world as a wholly new person starting from scratch, so don't get attached to your toon or any of their stuff. Luckily you get to remember things. Here are some things I have learned in DayZ that have helped me survive. 1. If you are not armed with a weapon that takes a zombie down in 2 hits then run. Two hit weapons include the splitting axe and the pitch fork. Use melee weapons to kill the infected, never shoot the infected since it attracts more and the one you just shot is like the cylon named Scar, it spawns knowing exactly where you are and is pissed. 2. The infected tend to run in straight lines, this is handy on the coast, especially on dockyards and piers. They will run them selves right off a dock into the water if you lead them right. Also if you are being attacked by another player, bleeding and are pretty sure you won't win, run off the dock, swim out and drop your gear. Makes it harder if not impossible for the asshole/attacker to loot you. You can also just drop loot and hope they take it, but they may just be intent on kill you first. One more thing, if you are being chased by a mob of infected, bleeding and can't stop to bandage yourself start dropping your gear on the road, seem you can't your dead toon but if your dropped the gear you can recover that. 3. Fire axe is the best melee weapon right now, when you find one keep it in slot 1, it's, currently, the only one hit melee weapon on the infected you can get. Paint it if you want, I don't really think it makes any difference, but it looks cooler in black than in green. 4. Get a can opener as soon as you can, axes will open cans but you will lose a lot of food that way. Because of this game I always have a real life can opener in my real life go bag now, I don't carry a can of peaches though (see #5).... 5. Find food asap, always eat everything you find, except you should keep one can of peaches in reserve for the lean times. Drink water whenever you find it, keep at least one canteen, drink from it only when you need to. 6. Never hang around anyplace too long and trust no one. Avoiding people you don't know is the best thing to do if possible, if not either run if they have not seen you or kill them if they have and run your ass away. You can loot but be quick if you must, I advise against this because they may have a buddy in the area, there's plenty of loot around if you know where to look. Until you know what you are doing only venture into villages and cities with extreme caution. 7. There is a ship wreck on the coast north of Berezino, if you spawn in that area go there first and loot it, it is almost always infected free there, has some nice stuff usually and fresh water ponds close by. 8. Remember what the houses you loot look like, some houses will have nothing but there are some that spawn the same types of things and are spread around the map.

Spoken like a true Democrat. No beans for you.

I did have this happen to me. All I saw was the leaping shadow of a zombie from behind before the screen went black with the You are dead message. It was the day of the patch outside Electro.

This???? This is your feedback on the Post Patch Zombie Feedback thread? Wow.

And one more thing, decay is CRAZY fast, especially on the chest, one hit from a zed and EVERYTHING in my shirt if ruined, including the shirt.

Here is why I would do that, I would wonder if you had buddies still hanging around, every second I stand around looting your dead ass is extremely dangerous. I am usually not willing to take that risk, especially since I prefer soloing. Don't be pissed, just be happy the guy did NOT kill you with a fire axe after dropping you and choose to run instead, thus saving you from waking up naked., Did you at least loot your buddy and give him his gear back?

Here goes; a, zombies should NOT EVER be able to catch up to you on a hill, on a flat ok, but on a hill it's ridiculous. However, it would be ok if they are fast up a hill but not as lethal. Don't forget what Sheriff McClelland in Night of the Living Dead said, "Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up." b. Let's have a slightly longer respawn time or have them respawn someplace else instead of the exact same spot immediately.. 3. breaking line of sight does not seem to work very well now. 4. I noticed that occasionally a zombie will leap at you and miss, if they miss it seems they sometimes die, I like that, please keep that. e. We really need to hear them coming, I got leaped on from behind and only saw the shadow on the ground just before the screen went black and said "You are dead". Lucky hit or what?? That kind of pissed me off, especially since I had just looked behind myself to see if anything was chasing me (didn't see a thing btw). f. I noticed that zombies run in pretty much straight lines and will fall right off a dock if you can get them at an angle. Only thing is it seems that a few minutes later the same zombie/s that fell off the dock into the water will miraculously appear exactly where you are, be extremely pissed and proceed to whale on you with a vengeance... Don't much care for that at all.
