It's most likely where you last entered the vehicle.

Is it my imagination or is empty whiskey bottles louder than empty cans?

Charles Bronson wouldn't disconnect to avoid death.

I think you can lose up to 6000 blood from an infection, so maybe.

We also need fricken bigass anime eyes, nazi uniforms and some tentacle monsters would be perfect!

Great thread title also :D

I'd say it's reasonable to take a legit weapon, but I think I'd rather destroy their whole camp, than gaining an advantage from using their weapons. Using illegit weapons on the other hand, I don't see a difference between spawning them and picking up someone else's hacked weapon. Especially when you should know better. Search for C4 satchel charges in their tents, park the vehicles close and blow that shit up.

I defenently hope DayZ will return to a survival oriented experience, rather than a oversized counterstrike session.

I still have no problem with being killed by bandits. I'm just saying: Remember a couple of weeks ago' date=' where it was possible to meet a stranger, who didn't automatically murder you on sight. Where there were a chance that the survivor you meet looting a supermarket with enought loot for two, wouldn't instinctly shoot on sight, you'd both get what you needed, exchange a few good words and each go on his merry way. You heart was still racing, because bandits and random murderers still existed back then, but it wasn't guaranteed that every encounter would be a lethal one and sometimes a little trust/humanity was rewarded with a nice little moment of friendliness. Back then it was still possibly to meet others, who were actually more interested in survival, than murder. These days new players learn to either shy all human contact or KOS. Pure PvP was never the fascinating aspect of DayZ, just like pure PvE wouldn't be either. It was the confusing mix of both modes, where coop and competative players would interact, to combat mistrust or to abuse trust to backstab and murder. At this point there's is only mistrust and rampant killing, no use for direct chat, other than to shout obcenities, before killing or dying. The only social interactions are clans/communities on external voice programs, killing anyone but their peers on sight. Whether the reload bug is fixed or not, there's still any more assault weapons and piles of ammunition, than boxes of matches in Chernarus. If you want to live off the land peacefully, it's easier to kill someone for their survival equipment, than to try to find it yourself. Well the murder rate seems to have reached the celing, since everyone KOS and yes at the moment killing is pretty much everything the mod has to offer, but it wasn't like that a couple of weeks ago.

It's just my experience that anyone I meet either flees, shoots or disconnect, because they expect I kill on sight like everybody else. If everyone KOS, new players assumes that tactic after their first attempts of being friendly. If everyone KOS, it can hardly get much worse.

DayZ is just another twitch shooter these days.

No survival, just griefing... SOB indeed.

Don't worry it only happens once. If it happens twice, you deserve it. :D

Satchels are legit, we found a handful in a camp, 2-3 satchels should be sufficient.

Camping is legit, disconnecting like a bitch to save your gucci gear isn't. There's playing DayZ like an evil sniper, killing sitting duck players. Then there's play DayZ like a kid with training wheels on, hiding in the lobby.

Maybe. Defenently, maybe.

Legit alright.

Many servers have time settings included in their name, some servers change their timezone, so people joining in the evenings can experience a few hours daylight. Some server have delayed time a couple of hours, others have reversed the day/night cycle. These servers usually have UTC+3 or UTC+9 included in their server name.

Whenever you log in, pay attention to your bottom right corner. You'll receive a shot, one second hint saying something like: Chernarus Kamenka Day 4

I remember respawning without any weapons and after a long search I find a an Enfield with 10 rounds. I pick it up, knowing I'll soon put it on my back for a less loud handgun, but at the moment, I felt great relief: A rifle and 10 whole rounds is alot better than nothing at all. However what felt like a great treasure, soon became trash because deer stands are full of assault rifles and ammo.

First murder was in Polana's supermarket. As I ran along the glass front, two Cz550 rounds bounched off the ground too close for my liking. I hid inside the the store for close to 10 minutes and when I tried to exit, a guy with a M4A3 quickly took cover by the backend of the supermarket. I retreated and we waited eachother out, listening for footsteps, dancing back and forth between the backrooms and the store. Finally I opened a backdoor, threw a smoke just outside and hid while the horde of zombies covered my footsteps, when he entered the backrooms, I shot him in the back. 5 minutes later I made a run for the hills and instantly came under heavy fire from two shooters, one with a Cz550. Do I know for certain, if that the guy I killed was part of the group in the hills trying to kill me, my instincts and conscience say so. I barely escaped, but survived. Killed two others, we had hunted down for murdering a friend unprovoken. Killed two others for stealing our vehicle. Killed two others, one of them three times, for killing two group members. Killed two others for killing three of our guys in a supermarket. Killed two others while being trapped on a roof. Fired a warning shot and asked them to identify or leave. They didn't, they tried to flank me and died. Killed one guy shooting at me on the roof of the office building in Elektro, right after that I shot a guy crawling prone on the road towards the hospital and killed him unprovoked. He was no threat, possibly was looking for morphine to fix his legs, but I felt a rush from defending myself and when I saw him, I raised my winchester and thought: "I can make the shot, I can make the escape, fuck it!" I regret that last kill.
