I was running down the road to the next town when I noticed a player was following me, he looked like he had just spawned because he had no gear. I stopped to shoot a zombie before I bandaged myself and then I heard this weird whistle noise, a whistle is the closest thing I could think that sounded like it, both my legs then broke and I then died. I have no clue what caused this and I was hoping someone could tell me so I could try to prevent it in future.Thanks

I just put around 15 hours into this character, she had some of the best gear and it was the furthest I ever got but (I cant remember why it happened) my screen went grey(This might be a cause for the problem) I thought I may have been losing blood but I was fully bandaged and nothing was wrong, I played for a few more hours not bothering about the grey screen because its happened to me before and it was a glitch but this one stayed even after I logged off. I decided it might be serious so I cleaned my wounds, ate until I was full, drunk until I was full, consumed anti biotics,charcoal tablets & vitamins. I done everything I could have done if there was a problem. No messages of any worry were appearing on my screen so I knew I hadn't hurt my leg or anything. Anyway, I was looting the NW airfield when a zombie came running towards me, I pulled out my fireaxe and was ready to strike but before I swinged the axe the zombie hit me and then I was dead. Just one hit. I couldn't believe it, I just stared at the screen for five minutes trying to figure out what happened. So my question is, is this a bug that caused me to be killed in one hit? or was it my fault with the grey screen. Thanks for any replies.

I've only been playing Day z for about a week now but I was wondering if it does get updated frequently and what peoples opinions are? (E.g if you feel its not frequent enough or if it is) I think it seems a bit odd that the game has been pre alpha for 18 months. That makes me think it doesn't get updated frequently enough. I just wanted to know some other views on the subject.

What other information do you want to know about it? Because I thought all the information I gave was sufficient

Sorry, Don't know why I thought it was pre alpha. What are the issues?

I just thought it wasn't normal for games to be in alpha for so long, its just because Ive played games which were in alpha for much shorter. I have no problem with playing through development, I understand what it means so I dont expect a finished product. I was merely just wanting to know if progress is quick or slow kind of. I havent played Day Z for long enough to experience these updates but im sure I will experience them.

I just thought it was odd because all the games Ive played which had a alpha stage never took that long, never knew it was normal.

Hmm it may have been that then. Yeah, theres some weird deaths in Day Z. I was in a fire station and decided to bandage my wounds while I was half way up a staircase, I then slide down to the bottom of the stairs, broke my legs,went unconscious and died.

I was inside a closed hanger, unless he glitched and managed to shoot through the metal wall, I dont think it was a sniper

I had the grey screen for around 5 hours and I had only bled about 4 times during that and straight away I bandaged up so I would have thought my blood would have regenerated enough by then. Hmm yeah it could have been that. Haha so many bugs, cant tell what one it could be.
