You're a bad parent.

Honestly, progression is based on loot and no one wants to lose that progression. I kill if I have high tier equipment, I used to kill when I had an Enfield and didn't want to lose it. Now I kill when I have something like an M107 or L85. If I have no equipment to speak of, I'll try to make temporary people to cooperate with but it's far too hard to trust anyone for too long. I completely refuse to lead anyone but teammates to my tents.

Don't worry, I call it my Metal PCHEW PCHEW Stick. Names are always better with onomatopoeia.

Because the game uses a HIVE server to allow the persistent server experience, they have a lot of data. They can detect those that log out constantly, even those that shoot/have had shots fired near them and log out. They'll probably implement a system so that if you log in and out consistently maybe choosing different servers, they'll ban you or kill your player... something a long those lines. And also if you leave when in the vicinity of players or zombies, or if you or players near you have fired, ban or kill. So I think the limitations of ARMA are becoming an advantage by punishing those ALT + F4-er's harshly.

Really? I found one the other day I just thought it was something I'd never seen or a new feature as I'd only just updated... It had a Military suit in it and a L85... I should have known since it was so close to Cherno -.-'

Currency would ruin this idea.

I know the group still exists and it's still a great idea but I don't think you'll ever be able to fortify a base and having a large organised group is good until you try to hold a point, especially with the amount of banditry and ghosting that exists.

Legit I think, I found mine in some box roadside... Didn't even know these boxes existed, also found an L85, DMR and Some other high grade military gun in there. I chose the L85. A note I have to add, when swapping the clothing it replaced my ALICE pack with a regular Coyote Patrol Pack, frustrating but I've only been alive for an hour so I'm not too bothered...

Okay so my last life, I was alive for four days but my tent was wiped and I literally put everything in there but an AKM and 2 mags. I was annoyed so I went the airfield, my friend got off when we got there so I went in alone because not too bothered about death when I had nothing... Needless to say, PTWN, dead. Started west of Elektro, I ran in, got a makarov in a small house. Ran to the school hoping for a decent weapon, first room I check. PTWN. I'm in shock with 6k blood, I see my target and fire the only clip I have. He goes down bleeding and I hear a bone snap. I run away since I had no ammo, I bandage myself up then ran around the whole school checking if he had come out whilst looking for ammo. I found another clip and a crowbar... I walked to the room again, we fired on each other... Nothing. He didn't hit me, I don't think I hit him. So, balls to it. I have nothing. I run in with a crowbar, he starts to fire again, I run to the side of him swinging the crowbar, he goes unconscious after three hits, he didn't hit me. I stood over him hitting him until death. HIs body slowly sank into the ground immediately after death, I think this is because they disconnect? So uhm, fuck you Neilio. No need for Shooting on Sight, nor disconnecting. The most fun I've had with a murder. Anyhow... I then proceeded with my loot of nothing to the store, a man with a Lee Enfield, M1911 and zombie skin walks in. We stand either side of a shelf staring at each other, I'm using push-to-talk and he's just staring. I assumed he was going to kill me but I'm really looking for someone to not start shooting, so I sit down and say "either kill me or lets just leave." He swaps to his Enfield and ends me with a chest shot. Strangest 10 minutes of Day Z. [P.s. Make zombies an actual threat please.]

Yep, people are dicks.

That's actually very rare for me, it's only happened to me on the NWAF in one of the smaller industrial buildings. It has happened too many times near my tents though but I don't think that counts...

Nah, you have your gun aimed at me the option to shoot me is obvious, especially the way the game is going now. The day I say it and someone leaves with me. I'll know I have someone worth my time.

A threat? I didn't say they were a threat but they're rare. So they should be coveted and found rather than just given to a player, I especially dislike the idea of just being granted an item on kills. Or even on time survived. As I've said before, I think they've been wiped for now so I don't see the point anyway...

Yeah, my tents were wiped. Or destroyed... I assume wiped though, people generally steal from tents and wouldn't have had the grenades to destroy tents that far apart and vehicles wouldn't be overly controllable in my camp site.

That really doesn't matter, there'd still be too many tents. Do you realise how many times new spawns die? Tents are rare, and I'm not sure but I think they've been wiped right now anyway.

You say you'd shoot one round and get all my equipment but the thing you don't realise, I want ammo to be so rare that if you have a Lee Enfield with a full clip, you'd be one of the most equipped players in the game... Anyhow, that's what would make the currency system good as well as dangerous. Death should be hard hitting so if you have a shit tonne of ammo (which I personally think you shouldn't have unless you have a large group or about 10 days surviving...) then losing it would actually matter rather than new spawning, running into a town and getting everything they need to survive in under an hour.

Then there'd be too many tents.

Slowly walk backwards with your inventory open, keep trying to put down your tent, it'll work. If you go too far backwards without it working, walk forwards and start again, I currently have four tents set up, it gets easy once you know. Anyway for the actual post... A similar thing happened to me, I was fucking about with a tent and my leg broke, I didn't start bleeding or go unconscious but it was still annoying, and something similar happened to me when I was shot, I could access my inventory and move my third person camera around to open the inventory of things around me. The player came to loot me, I stole the shit out of his backpack as he watched, attempting to take it back and then I ended up disconnecting and putting up with my shock making me unconscious on log in. So yeah, it's an alpha... I've had bullshit happen to me, I've been involved in bullshit that happens to others. I think you're right that things should be fixed instead of constant updates implementing new shit that could be broken..

Not bad, people could survive much easier though... don't overly like that.

My thread sir...

In my opinion this is a war against organisation and is a ploy to gain a large bandit army but brainwash them. Fuck it, I'm in. I could do with the loot.

DayZumba, I only play to get fit.

They're probably douchebags who don't care about character death and figure if they die it doesn't matter, whilst if they take you out... GEAR!

tl;dr for replies but... your face when you get sniped, start bleeding out unconscious and your zombie pet eats you alive. Then get's sniped and you're looted. I can't wait.
