very nice snipes there :P which sniper rifle is that by the way?

also the grenade has to be in your inventory not your bag. "F" key only cycles through what is in your inventory.

the way i fixed this was updating or de-updating the beta patches. also killing your character does work so if you have a friend that can take your stuff this may help. however it is a rather annoying bug which occurs when you disconnect while in shock. don't disconnect while in shock once you fix this otherwise it'll happen all over again until rocket can work out what is causing this bug.

very nice map however i instantly noticed that there isn't a spawn location inside of northwest airfield, which is were most of the crashed heli's i have found have been. also i found one once between prud and grishino. other then those 2 locations this is a great map thank you very much :D

Hello people of the dayZ community I've been playing this game for a while and thought i would share a rather sad thing i have done. however I did slightly enjoy it :( Ok well I spawned in Cherno after i had died in starysober getting sniped by some guy with an M107, so i hit the re-spawn button like most other people do and i spawned in Cherno. Cherno that place were no one is sure who is friendly until someone gets shot for there bandages and painkillers. I have never been to Cherno before this however I heard many stories about the how easy it is to die. were I spawned I could see a church so that was the first thing I headed to, unfortunately I found it wire fenced off and i couldn't get into it, though the DayZ god's smiled at me because i had found a hatchet in the middle of the road next to the church. Quickly given up on the church because i couldn't get over the wire fencing I see a pub now i was looking for food and water as I didn't have anything and I had a weapon so i felt pretty good about defending myself against any players or zeds that may be inside. I make my way through the back entrance of the pub and quickly searched the bottom floor of the pub but as I'm about to head up the stairs I here someone shooting a M1911 pistol. I was scared I didn't want to die again and lose the hatchet, food, coke, and a map I had just found in the bottom of the pub. So i risked it i slowly climbed the stairs with him constantly shooting a zombie or possibly a player outside I'm not sure which. as I'm about to make my way around the corner I see him full pelt sprinting in my direction I jumped a mile in the air because it scared the S**T out of me however I managed to cut off his leg and he was now bleeding and unconscious on the floor I then didn't know what to do. I quickly searched his bag while i was thinking about what to do he had nothing inside of it, it was a standard starting bag with nothing inside. I then realise he is about to wake up quickly without realising it I then swung my axe again decapitating him quickly hearing the fly's humming around his body. The fly's disturbed me, as the sound of them came through my headset so quickly I hadn't even realised what I had done until it was too late. Quickly searched his body after the quick brain fart that had happened I took the M1911 and found 1 MAG with it, he had nothing else worth while so I buried his body with respect and decided to loot the general store to find matches and a hunting knife before I headed to the wilderness. As i make my way towards the general store I see another survivor who just ran into the store he was unarmed and look like a completely fresh player however i knew that since he was already in there he would take any loot that was there. So what I did was wait for him to come out the back door. I waited patiently and quietly listening for his foot steps trying to figure out which door he would come out of. After what felt like hours he made his way out to the front door, I quickly made my way there myself hoping I would get there in time. "I made it" I exclaimed just as soon as his leg stepped out the door I cut it off making sure he wouldn't be able to run. before decapitating him like the last guy while hearing him plead for his life I said thanks for all the stuff and may your soul rest in peace. I then drove the axe clean through his neck unlike the other guy which I was in a state of panic and left his head slightly attached to his body. His head then slowly rolled down the steps of the general store, I had just murdered two people in the space of 10-15 minutes. I Have never done such a unmerciful thing before this, but after the first guy I killed in a state of panic. I had began to feel my blood-lust rise and hunger for more which lead me to stalk the guy in the general store instead of trying to team up with him. My reward was nothing off of the second body however my need for blood continues to hunger, i fear i have gone to the dark side and may never come back to the light. I surge of excitement you get when your target dies, the sinister smile that appears across your face when your victim has succumbed to darkest. DayZ this is my story, my life, my experience in Cherno. I can defiantly say I will enjoy continuing to kill people from now on whoever and whenever they cross my sight. Hope you enjoyed my very simple story/experience of Cherno I am still a newish player and just had a lot of fun writing this. hopefully people will enjoy it yes I do realise there may be spelling and grammar mistakes I kind of just did this without a second thought and it's also 4 am spent all day/night playing DayZ please forgive me. Also the last part was just to add to the story i usually am a friendly person but when I was in Cherno I heard too many stories of people getting back stabbed there so I decided I would just kill anyone I saw in Cherno. This was the first time I have written/done something like this so please leave feedback would be appreciated whever or not I should continue writing similar stories or on what I can improve on.

lmao thanks :P even though the 2 kills were similar and there are a lot of stories similar to this with people hatcheting them or "hatchet bandits" I thought it'd be interesting to share :D

the mouse wheel is EVERYTHING in arma 2. when u see an icon mouse wheel to get the options. Also keep in mind not all buildings are enter-able/loot-able so the doors may not open.

It was interesting, but you're going to get a lot of hate from the internet if you don't watch everything you type. is the way of the internet thanks for the feedback any ways.

as long as your not one of those pansy people who disconnect when there about to die it doesn't matter :L though personally i would try and kill one of them first even if I die it means they have to lose some gear because the other guy will have to carry the other guys stuff and give it back to him.

derp fail :(

1. this belongs in the suggestions forum not in general discussion. 2. now although i like the idea i simply do not believe it would work just as it has been said before in this tread people would just pretend to trust and then shoot you (if they didn't have a gun they would tag along until they found one and then shoot you). The only way i can see this being fixed in dayZ, the issue of trusting other players is if/when a partying system comes out that anyone in your party cannot be damaged by FF. Now this is impossible because trusting in random players is something that helps build and make this mod. (which means this will never happen.) so overall honestly I do like the idea however it would not work simply because people can lie and will lie if it means they can survive longer/get better gear. Another idea though would be you could send your trust to them and if they've ever murdered a player in their entire lifetime of dayZ they couldn't send their trust back, so that way you know well its been 5 mins he hasn't sent it back so I'm going to assume he's a bandit or can't be trusted. (this idea might of been mentioned earlier in the thread however i really just skimmed through it.)

the loot is normally just all around the ground not sure if I've just been too late and been looted before but I've seen like 10 of them and i have found stuff like fn fal's, bispins, a saw, and my current weapon a mk 40 mod0 :D just look next to the Gatling guns on both sides and both side of the tail. and yes all those guns did have ammo on the floor next to them so i don't think the crashed heli's were looted before me.

i used a pdw in a fire fight in starysober and after firing a whole clip and attracting very zombie because the thing is just as loud as an m16 i would of rather had my m4a3 cco out that way i would of actually killed him at least. I've never had or seen and m9sd so i can't voice an opinion on that, but i'd rather have an assault rifle out for pvp then the pdw. however i have heard you can find an pdw silence? not sure though might just be rumours,

Date/Time: 7:00pm gmt-5 What happened: Me and my friends decided to take a breack from dayZ for an hour or so in the white long barn in staroye, and when i logged back in i was spawned on top of a tree south of msta next to the power lines. Where you were: in the white long barn in staroye, and when i logged back in i was spawned on top of a tree south of msta next to the power lines. What you were doing: just logged off the game for a while and when i logged back in was spawned there and couldn't do anything but watch my guy fall for 5 seconds and have the death screen appear. *Current installed version: 1.7.5 *Server(s) you were on: LU20 *Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error:ran all the way from berzino to staroye to meet up with a friend and then too logg off for dinner. when i came back online and died i then asked them to come online and help me look for my body which we then luckily found it south of msta next to the power lines. after that we then found a tractor and fixed it up and then drove it somewere and we are currently logged off for the night so i decided to come here and report this bug and hope it gets fixed sometime in the near future. I don't mind so much about the gear even if i did lose it, however my character that had died was on his 5th day and i had been playing 4-8 hours each day so it was around 30-35 hours of game time and i would of nearly gotten onto the top 100 players leader board which is really the only thing i find annoying about this whole bug.

don't forget about finding those mountain dew's people!

what i think has happened is a similar thing to me. me and my friend were in berzino and he died and i managed to survive however he disconnected and left the server and re spawned in a different server before i could find his body, and his body disappeared i could hear the flys however it was gone. i think its something to do with the fact that everything in connected to the hive so when they died and switch servers the dead body might also switch servers or something along the lines of that. because he didn't respawn until he switched the server. not 100% sure more testing needs to be done. so don't blame or flame me for being wrong just guessing.

Sounds like paranoia... Thanks for the decent answers =) paranoia? I stand by what I said. it is an exploit' date=' just like server hopping [/quote'] it is an exploit if you literately go somewhere and do these constantly and never explore the rest of the map however if the loot didn't respawn in such a way then it would be such a pain to try and get ammo for guns or food or water + there is always the chance while you're waiting for the loot to respawn a player shoots you in the back I agree, and I understand why the loot respawns sorry then for the condescending reply :P

i have to say the fire fights in north west airfield are what keep me interested constantly :P

I can understand what your saying is true not everyone has all the time in the world and so that is why a lot of people are impatience. however in my opinion this game is kind of built up with stepping stones especially if you play with friends. where the first step is to be patience and slowly loot buildings get gear and food and hunting knife hatchet matches to live off the land and then head inland then maybe get lucky get a crashed heli get a saw or fn fal and then try and get a vehicle. however again in my experience I would rather play the game with limited time like I currently do, being a full time student becoming a game developer and having a part time job. i would rather be patience and not risk my gear i've put the past few days into building just to lose it all because i was impatience for 1 second. cause think about it, you become impatient for 1 second with really good gear such as a saw with 2k bullets and a lba sniper in your bag. that will end up taking you a lot longer to get back then it would take if you just played patiently and take in consideration in every step i take every choke point were i could die, the 100 different sniper locations were someone could be watching me. i have only been playing this game for 1 week right after they took out the starting pistol and i have only died 2 times. my first character 4 hours were i was just learning the controls. and my second with a M16 Alice backpack and some alright gear lived for 3 days. i am currently alive and well on my 3rd life with a character that has lived for the past 4 days 5th tomorrow and i have a saw with 1k bullets dmr in my back pack with alice bag. and have a camp set up with my mates with 3 tents 1 filled with weapons, 1 filled with ammo and car/heli parts, and the 3rd filled with 20+ of each medical suppliesexpect antibiotics they seem to be extermly rare :(. Being patience is everything in this game it has even allowed my little group of survives to have a huge stock items we can use even if we die. P.s sorry for everyone/anyone who reads this it is quite a big rant. P.s.s yes i know there are different play styles for every type of player however depending on the type of game there also has to have that basic element of each play style, and in DayZ the element that is in everyone's play style whenever they realise it or not uses patience of some sort before running in and dieing instantly

well the new beta patch released today seems to have fixed it for myself. i don't know about anyone else.

indeed sucks it isn't fixable just have to wait :( and hope it gets patched out

I think maybe someone is mad because he said friendly in cherno? and then got shot. could be wrong though :(
