I found the engraved 1911 once. Once.

You must always examine your freshly dropped poo by clicking on it. You will get one of three messages: 1. Healthy looking poo. Nice body and bouquet. 2. Runny, painful poo. Your diet is unbalanced 3. Blood is found in poo. You will be dead soon. The devs may also allow us to carry our poo around and throw it at other players, rendering them sick.

Who says I don't climb to a tower and overwatch my trap...er I mean...gift to a new spawn? :D

No, not KoS or sniping, much worse. I give false hope by looting a building completely and shutting all the doors behind me. A virgin police station, doors closed...nothing in that room...nothing in that room...wtf...nothing in that room...this is weird...nothing in that room...not even a can of soda...nothing in that room...WTF!! Heh.

I was going to be angry if I wasted a click on this topic. I was right

Mucho grassy ass. Same for the Mosin, I assume, since it has no rail either but better range?

...said the spider to the flies. Hee heeee

Zombie broke my arm at NWAF but I got my M4... ran to a farmhouse to eat and look for a splint....fell off the stairwell halfway up and died.

Immersive

Needs more girls.

You were loaded with gear and begging to get robbed. Nice that your partner was useless in the fight, too. There is a difference between 'bandits' and the idiots who just think its funny to kill fresh spawns with no loot. The more geared I get, the more I tense up and know I'm a target. I don't run around without a care in the world if I'm loaded, even in low pop servers. I don't mind that part of the game because its real. I'm guessing you and your buddy charged into a big town like you owned the place. Don't do that.

...by bringing up H1Z1. THIS IS NOT ADVERTISING You know those developers are reading this forum, playing DayZ and learning what not to do in a zombie survival game. Being a new player and getting killed a dozen times in a row in DayZ turns off a lot of new players, and the game's reputation suffers. When H1Z1 is released, what will become of DayZ? No more fresh spawn target practice. No more development income for Dean Hall. I saw Rhino's youtube video for H1Z1. The first thing out of his mouth was, 'oh look a mountain to snipe other players from'. Really? Maybe there will always be a market for intense MMO PvP games with a cute little zombie annoyance thrown in, but there is also a market for immersive, realistic open world survival adventuring with teamwork thrown in. We like DayZ. We want Bohemia to keep improving it. Remember that when you have that fresh spawn in your cross hairs. It could be that youtuber with a billion subscribers that says, "See? This game sucks so I downloaded that other one..."

Well, if not for a lot of those youtubers, this game would be played by a grand total of a dozen or so Arma players, and Dean Hall's project would have been a failure. Monetizing the mod was good. It ensured better development.

Well, shave my ass and call me Sally. Thanks, Steak!

Two types of servers- one for random spawning and a more survival focused game, and a second for those that want coastal spawning and PvP ragers. Choice is good. Or, spawn zombie numbers relative to that town's former population. That would make it a bit more difficult for a clan to take over a town. Try joy killing fresh spawns with 100 zombies bearing down on you. Heh.

You sound like a jaded bambi that has no clue how to play the game. Were you raped and mistreated as a young fresh spawn yourself? Awww, poor pothead. Too stoned and cowardly to fight and strategize with advanced players, huh? 50 kills? Do you laugh at the same joke 50 times? most of us would rather duel it out with smart players than shoot fish in a barrel, but we enjoy more sophisticated things. You keep on laughing at the same joke. Good for you.

1. Explosives. Grenades, mines, IED's and the elements to craft them 2. Pistol caliber carbines and other light SMGs (pistol and rifle uses same ammo and magazines) 3. Winter servers. 4. Zombies have loot (they weren't always zombies, especially the soldiers) 5. More maps! And a bonus one: more crafting

To follow zombie lore, players killed by zombies would reanimate as zombies. I like the idea of being able to loot player avatars that were fully geared when 'turned'.

Call me Blern. If you are a newer player like me and would just like to partner up and trust somebody to watch your back for a while then find me on steam.

First death was sadly, like hundreds of noobs who bled out after the first unarmed zombie attack. Second was after hours and hours gearing up quite nicely, rifle and pistol, plenty of ammo, food and two water bottles, just got healthy, fed and watered and filled up my bottles at the well, online map said some good loot was up in the deer stand, climbed up and glitched off the side and fell to my death. Was so mad I didn't play for days. Third death and all since have been from kos aholes with nothing better to do. I can see a lot of new players uninstalling because of those idiots. Its not helping the game at all.

Used to one shot zombies with almost any axe, now takes 5-10 direct shots to kill. Any other melee weapon takes twice as many strikes to kill. Did something change with the patch?

Actually, I'd prefer to use my fists if the damage were higher. I get sick of trying to find an axe. Just wondering why weapon functionality had changed.

Really? I can think of a half dozen better ways to increase the realism. How about: -explosives -climbing up higher things than knee high fencing -sleeping -not gushing blood after one punch -actual population of zombies, not constant respawns -electricity (or did the people of Chernarus remove all that before the zombie outbreak?)
