Lucky Mudman

I had the same bugs, just disable the DayZ mod and you should be fine.

Only thing that would help is to make a penalty system for killing a player that has no food, water and weapons on them. I understand killing other players for their loot, but killing unarmed defenceless people just for pure laughs, you go play Postal for something like that (i've seen one too many people quit dayz because they got killed a lot of times by people who camp coast spawns) I myself will shoot an armed person apporaching me without words, but if i see you from afar, i'll just avoid you.

I might just enlist myslef, tired of running into random shoot on sight people.

Hey all, I'm Lucky Mudman, been playing the mod for a week or so, new to the forums (beans)

I wanted to be a good guy, just spawned in and entered the docks and saw a guy bleeding after killing some zeds. I had no guns on me so i told him i'm friendly and i'll bandage him up, he responded by shooting me in the face and then taking that bandage, oh, and wasting a bullet and attracting more zeds, good going twat. Now i just hide from players and zeds alike, and trust only my IRL friends. PROTIP: If i see you, and i have a gun, and you saw me, I will shoot you, I won't let you follow me.

This is an issue, me and my mate have found out that unless we have stocks of 60+ ammo each, the only safe way to loot is to run trough town get aggro and run into a barn and hatchet all the zeds, which is really dangerous due to constant server delays which makes walking zombies sprint for a meter or so when they are close or after you kill them, which almost always results in bleeding (at least zeds now have a nice chance of spawning food when they die)

Hatchet's keep vanishing for me, every time i drop one it's gone

I'd like to know, when you calculate the average lifespan, do you count in those who were alive for less than a minute (if someone just keeps respawning so they spawn at a better location). So we know what's the lifespan of those who are actually playing.

I can confirm this bug. I lost 4 weapons in a row to this bug (2 double barreled shottys, an enfield and some sniper i found in a heli crash). Now i have to resort to dropping my gun on the floor when i'm hatcheting away at the zeds (and i'm constantly panicking someone is gonna come behind me, take my gun and cap me). Also, dropping the hatchet from the main slot (instead of putting it in toolbelt) makes the hatchet dissapear.

I myself decided to shoot on sight, no questions asked. Why? Because everyone does that... to everyone. If you want a group, check the forums (as stated before). I myself died to a dude in a town while being unarmed a lot of times, i just think: "nice one, you just wasted ammo and attracted a whole bunch of zeds, keep it up"
