Dieing and losing your stuff is daily routine in DayZ, dont get overly attached to any of your aquired gear is all the advice i can give you. Run back yourself tbh! You might make it! GO! NOW! QUICKLY!

It won't be removed, i can tell you that right now. If you dont like tags then dont play on any server that has them enabled. I dont like tags myself either but its a server pref thing. Calling for removal isnt really worth it and it wont happen anyway.

M107, basically because the AS50 keeps disappearing from my bag.

But it would give you negative blood, the m107 and AS50 do 37k damage. Sounds a bit like a hacker instagibbed you.

Getting shot by that weapon in real life would kill you to, i like that the game gives me the opportunity to actually use one. Most games wouldnt have added it because of the power it has. Also sniping noobs in elektro is getting pretty old these days, ive been anti sniping for a while now with some pretty nice results so watch your ass!

The main reason the weapons were removed was to make the game harder, but ofcourse the underlying thought was also that the dev team got a little tired of people spawning, turning around and shooting the nearest person in the face. So atleast he cares a little about that!

Welcome to DayZ, refreshing to find a positive starting post for once. Don't share your dinner with the zeds!

No safe zones or npc guards, no laws and rules make the game fun to play. Rocket said he wont add anything that will take away the lawlessness or the bandits and player killings. Sorry mate, get used to it.

Oh yes you notice it on the forum aswell, massive surge of WTF is this game, and help how do i threads being created. Gotta be the last one or two days of the steam sale where the Arma package was 40% off. Good luck to to the bandits.

Not sure its becaus of the gun or the hitbox of the zombies but they dont go down as easily as they used to do when getting shot by the 1911. I can sometimes hit them in the arm for 2 or even 3 shots before they go down. Just adapt your aim and shoot dead center for now.

Avoid Cherno and Elektro next time, even if you spawn near them just go north. Use a map like http://dayzmap.info/ to find deer stands and medium loot buildings (barns) to equip yourself. Then you can go back and return the favor is you so desire. After getting the hang of this game it is really easy to convert to the dark side.

Avoid the larger citys, berezino is usally competely empty on low pop servers and it has two supermarkets, a hospital and in total around 6 appartments. Not to mention the corner buildings uptown and the train station near the docks. Cherno and Elektro are fun to play around in, and dont take dieing to hard, you will die countless more times from now.

They do respawn sometimes, don't take them all down next encounter. Just leave a couple wandering and nothing should respawn as fast. Second, don't be there 5 minutes. In two minutes of walking around the chopper you will have found all the loot, stay anylonger then that and the chances of you getting shot rise exponentially.

You make a good point, nothing to add or discuss about. +kudos

Indeed, just keep going. There are plenty of supplies out there. Dont take the easy way and go into cherno or elektro. People pretty much go there to kill and die. When you spawn, head north. Use this map http://dayzmap.info/, when you spawn at kamenka go north and follow the deerstands in the fields, and when you reach the upper one go east to the ones at bor. Follow the woods untill youve checked both of those and head north to the one at the top of the hill. When thats checked look to the little village down the hill, the black building to the left at the edge of the road is enterable and can have some good stuff. When youve visited that go north untill you cross the hill, the town there is selenogorsk and it has a supermarket you can check. The above is pretty much my earliest start out route, never failed me. Hope any of you new players has a use for it :)

Use Sixlauncher or Dayzcommander to do the installation and beta patches for you. So many stuff that can still go wrong doing it manually.

Oh yes we've made a lot of jokes about this on voice. Hyper realism game! Needs water bottle to drink from lake! Can make a damn meme out of it...

Well as the rest said you can hop a fence with V. You need to have the bloodbag in your main inventory to get the Give Bloodtransfusion option in the scroll menu (scroll middle mouse) Some wire fencing is set up awkwardly so you can still hop over, sometimes its half buried in the ground. You can hop that to with vault. If its correctly placed you cannot jump over, that's the main reason people set it up, most times its just to annoy people though.

The fact is that you can make it look pretty and elaborate on it all you want but it still comes down to that you want to add a currency system to the game, one that is highly biased in favor of the friendly player and once again a penalty system for player killers. In current society i guess people want to see some sort justice, but in DayZ the story is created around a place of complete lawlessness. This game has no rules! To be able to implement this idea the game itself would need rules, and some sort of force to enforce them. No rules, no enforcing. Player killing is part of the game, it wont go away and it wont be penalized. Not now or in the future. The sooner you except this the better, getting killed sucks but its one part of the game making it hard for to you survive and start over. Remember the goal is to survive!! Players are as much a part of the game as the zombies and the weapons are. Rocket actually incorporated a player factor in the game making it harder for you to survive! It's genius.. Think about different points of view when you come up with ideas for this game, it might kill your idea or it might make it a hell of a lot better.

This would not really benefit the game, and its DayZ so i wouldn't really be interested where my box of matches would have gone to after i was killed somewhere. And as everything in this world, as good natured you intend it to be, someone will come along and exploit it for evil somehow.

There are actually a lot of community fans out there that have remodeled the zombies already and made variants, you can find their posts here and there and they look pretty nice. One fan made a retexture and it looks awesome. Unfortunately Rocket has more pressing things on his agenda and as long as his team does not get expanded he simply does not have the time. Right now that is, lots of future opportunity ofcourse.

I think this is a nifty idea. But ONLY if it's added to the game properly and in lower values. Humans have a natural regeneration and we ofcourse regenerate blood, we wouldnt be able to give blood to a blood bank otherwise. But the natural process is very very slow. So i don't mind getting a little blood back now and then but only if it CANNOT be exploited. So no blood back on login or logout, only when actually being active in a playing session. And then to the sum of like 500 blood back in an hour. Or less perhaps. If you can keep up the food and drink then i don't know why we wouldnt get a little blood back.

I agree, the biggest problem at the moment is the reloading ammo on login. It basically gave everyone infinite ammo, the other glitch where you can convert pistol ammo with 1 shot left to a full clip of the other kind and then back again pretty much does the same. That together with the faulty reloading in all rifles and pistols even makes people who do not want to use the method use it anyway. If it gets fixed then we won't see less snipers but they will eventually run out of ammo and move off, welcome back realism.

I generally want to add to this topic that its creation date was May and a lot has happened since then, manually installing the game is not the regular way to go anymore. If you are a new player and reading this, consider using either: Sixlauncher http://www.dayzmod.com/?SixUpdater Or DayZ Commander http://www.dayzcommander.com/ Experience computer users can ofcourse still try the old fashioned manually install but believe me with these other programs available it is really not worh it. I use Sixlauncher myself mostly because i started with it and it works for me, consider only using the sixlauncher bit and leaving sixupdater alone if you dont know what it does. DayZ commander looks to be catering an even easier way to make DayZ work but i have yet to try it myself.

And boot Arma2 to the menu aswell!
