Have had zombie knockouts last 2 minutes plus. Some servers reset every 3 hours, plenty of random server drops. These should kill you?

I have suffered because of our clan tag. Had to change my name and all. +1 for super black aids.

Shock is such a broken bastard thing as it is. Sometimes you still get shock even when the icon isn't up on screen. You're saying someone should die if there is a power outage or they get kicked from the server? What about a server crash or reset? Computer overheats? Internet drops out? All of these things should kill you because you got shot at or opened a door the wrong way? I'm violently against combat DCing but a despawn timer is much better than an arbitrary LOL YOU'RE DEAD!

This is a terrible suggestion.

Fuck that, point me in the direction of the island and I'll swim there.

I had a server crash and since then nearly every time I log in I get the pass out. If I die and respawn it still happens.

Wouldn't it just leak?

+1 for spawning without a backpack. No compensation for this. RUUUUUUN BIIIIIITCH RUUUUUUUN!

Sometimes a man has to sacrifice himself so the rest of the group may live. Riding along a pushbike screaming "COME GET ME MAFUCKAS!" would make this sacrifice more hilarious.

One thing that has bothered me with DayZ is how trivial survival is from the environment and zombie perspective. The most entertaining time I have had is when that slightly broken hot fix took out food and water. Beans became gold and water bottles were worth dying to protect. If you make food and water, ammo and med supplies much MUCH harder to find, it would mean hunting becomes a more viable option and bullets become precious. You would see more experienced players running an enfield or winchester due to the relative ease at which you find ammo, and carrying a better gun in their pack. As it is you need bullets for military grade weapons, you head into some industrial buildings or hit a deer stand. Thirsty? Grab a coke I have 20. Broken leg? Doesn't matter mate! Quick trip to the hospital and you have 10 morpheine. Bring in that survival element so it is a genuine achievement if you manage to forage enough supplies to survive.

I like the M24, I use it to hunt cherno snipers.

A maka will still wipe out a bandit in one hit if you smack them in the head. Hatchet is a solid weapon too for z killing.

I posted the exact same suggestion a few hours before you and got nothing but abuse. Must be a timezone thing. I agree wholeheartedly that loot should be a bastard to find. Food/water/meds etc. Ammo for good guns should be a bastard and the shit guns whould be easier, That way you get vets with an enfield and the M107 in the pack saving their precious bullets.

This. Its an abstraction from real life. Random healing drugs are one thing but a magic defibrillator that sucks out bullets and closes wounds is another. I agree that we need splints and such instead of just morph. I tried suggesting making med supplies etc harder to find but all I got was some tool yelling at me about laser beams firing out his asshole.

Has he got a scope? Shoot him. Is he looking at you? Shoot him. Has he seen you? Shoot him. Is he sitting on a roof? Shoot him. Is he heavily armed? Shoot him. Live and let live unless the fucker sees you/shoots you/reveals your position/is obviously camping. Even then killing isnt the only way, kneecapping is pretty debilitating and has gotten me out of some hairy situations against a better armed opponent.

+1 for no revive. Zombie squadding in BF3 is irritating. Defib units don't fix bullet holes or blood loss.

Try to offer suggestion that makes game more difficult/adds suspense realism. Get yelled at. Try to offer suggestion that makes game easier on new players. Get yelled at. I don't think I'll bother having an opinion anymore in this shithole.

Most of the time you are already carrying heaps because you or your friends have already been there. A lot of people play in groups so a healthy person can do the run for morph for you. A broken leg is annoying but easily solvable, morpheine is plentiful. Everything is plentiful. If you die, it takes around 20-30 minutes to gear up to a decent level and be on your merry way.

Yeah same thing happened to me

Date/Time: 10/7 10pm onwards What happened: When server resets or crashes I lose all progress since spawn, sometimes having to respawn. Where you were: Cherno/Elektro/Balotta/Msta What you were doing: Riding a bike when the lightning strike. That and walking/running/shooting/bleeding/Yelling at people through direct/etc. Normal DayZ stuff. *Current installed version: 1.7.2

Ok I discovered how to fix my personal spawn issues. Its only if I'm dead that I cannot get into a server, so I roll back to .1.5 to create then update again and I can play. Complicated but it works. I keep all my old DayZ versions just renamed in the same folder to ensure I can do things like this.

Ok I had a fun spawn, on top of one of the silos in Cherno with a broken leg and bleeding. Not where I signed out at all. The joys of alpha testing!

Here is a solution to my PVP problem. Have the boats with a bit of storage, I'll consider shooting a lot less people if I can safely store my gear as tents don't seem to work and boats are plentiful and relatively useless. My 2c :D

It was a light hearted attempt at humour. Thanks for playing along. Boats need storage was the suggestion. Also how is boats having storage any different from cars/bikes/trucks/vans having storage? Or even tents? How would this even compare to starting with random junk/not losing items. Also if you read the post it says I would consider not shooting people. I hate having to explain a joke to an idiot.
