What if they just don't care about your gear or your stash? Perhaps they just killed you because it is fun to kill?

Geez, thanks for the warnings. I'll stay away from the trucks for now. D:

I actually found it a little funny. Not "haha" funny, but funny as in that "it put a smirk on my face and made me think along the lines of 'peaches and anus jokes are pretty immature, and I wouldn't want anyone to see me laugh at this in public'" funny.

All right, thanks. I'll try and see what happens.

Am I the only one who can't skin animals? I always get the "Cancel current action" bug, which can sometimes be seen when trying to "Drink All." My character sits down and does the skin animal animation, and then nothing.

Awkward zombie spawning (and altered behaviour) as of 0.53? So it seems to me that zombie spawning is a bit different lately. The best exampe is from yesterday, when I was standing about 10 meters from one of the sniper towers at NWAF, looking at the tower. I looked behind and around me to check for zombies/players, and when I turned back to look at the tower, a zombie had spawned a few meters in front of me. I'm guessing this is not intended, because it is very awkward. I'm all for more zombie spawning, but it has to be done so it doesn't feel like it just teleported in front of me (ZOMBIE HACKERS!!!). Also, I think it is nice that zombies no longer always make a sound when they aggro, or sounds at all in some instances. Adds to the tension as I have been startled by zombie attacks a few times already!

I admit I'm terrible at DayZ. :)

Lol! That reminds me of an encounter I had with a gang of goofs/bandits around christmas. I was in elektro and a big group (5-8 players, one of them sounded like a female) and they were doing the classic "gather bambis and have them fight each other" thing). So they told me to fight another player and I won. I noticed the player had a mosin on his back. When the player was dead I decided to quick as hell check his loot, and it turns out the mosin is loaded (why they hadn't stripped him earlier I don't know, maybe they didn't think anyone would draw weapon). Quick as hell looted the mosin and pointed it at the nearest bandit: BAM, headshot. One tango dead. Of course, the next second there is just a huge rattle of AK's gunning me down. Totally worth it!

I might add though that I don't server hop in combat. I do it for loot purposes.

The problem is that it will make you have a disadvantage, considering other players will have their gamma up. Considering night in real life is really dark, the devs should make the game force drop the gamma to a reasonable level when the sun goes down, so you HAVE to use some kind of light to navigate safely. As for forcing people to play at night, I'm not really sure how to do it. I was first thinking of some kind of individual time setting, something along the line of when you log out at, for example, 18:09, next time you log on to any server your individual time will still be at 18:09. This cause the problem of other players on the same servers having the advantage of their time being in daylight, which makes it unfair. Perhaps forcing people to join a server withing a set hour or hours? This will create the problem of people being locked out of certain servers. I really have no good idea how to solve this, at the moment. All I know is that I think forced playing at night should in some way be implemented. :/

Pretty much.

I don't try to justify it. I just find it convenient.

The big problem is to force people to actually play a part of their time at night.

Welcome to the dark side. <3 People's resistance only makes my penis harder.

When I play 3pp I hind behind walls, wait for someone to come running, pop out and blast them. I consider that pretty weak, but exploiting 3rd person is funny.

Handcuffs and Disinfectant

More importantly, why would anyone play DayZ with it?

I totally agree! Fly away, you 3pp casuals. :D

I don't see how survival =/= first person.

Speaking of bad language, it warms my heart when I get killed and then hear a 12 year old shout "motherfucker" in the microphone.

Lol, I've never washed vegetables/fruits. Never gotten sick.

DayZ and rust are cousins. DayZ should follow in cousin Rust's footsteps. 3rd person has always belonged to Operation Flashpoint because it is a way to make group control/tactics easier. DayZ is not Operation Flashpoint. 3rd person does not belong in DayZ.

So I remember trying to swim, one or two update ago, and it resulted in me randomly losing some of my gear as a result. Does this bug still occur in 0.53, ergo do I dare to swim to Prison Island without risking my gear?

Been looking forever, and I can't seem to find a long range scope in 0.53. Can someone confirm they are still in the game? If so, do they still spawn in sniper towers and those smaller wooden guard towers at NWAF?

I had the impression this was hackers injuring me.
