I read the whole thing expecting a lot of tears, crying, and butthurt. But, you explained what happens to a lot of people quite well. What you need to do is just get that 1 headshot to end their life right away. You still might not get loot if they alt+f4 as I've had bodies disappear, but it's a better chance than just wounding them. I've seen bandits do this, I've seen survivors do this, and I've even seen someone run up on me out of nowhere and scare the hell out of us both and still alt+f4 just because he either didn't want to kill me because he was a nice guy or he shit his pants and had to alt+f4. Hope this issue gets fixed.

You just armed the wildlife! Next time you die to a sniper. You better think twice about claiming it a bandit. That cow that happened to roll past that gear you dropped. Yeah, He's coming for you and he doesn't want your NVGs, he wants your tears. FyI those might of been my tents. I'm drunk what server was this?

I don't see it being beneficial. Since dragging someone is slower than crawling. Carrying someone might be a bit faster, but still slower than the other guy running off while you wait for him to bring back morphine. Would it be cool to have? Sure. Useful at all? I don't think so.

I think what the OP meant when putting the title "This is why survivors get killed so much" He really meant, they don't alt+f4 as soon as someone shoots at them. Next time don't say you disconnected before you died to respawn behind someone else later. Makes you look like a exploiter which is a huge problem for DayZ. Oh and I'm not mad. Just sayin.

Someone posted something about a Hachet murderer around Vybor I think. Next to the pond and bridge. He said he hid under the bridge and heard footsteps of the guy walk over him and say "Where'd you go boy? Hachet man gonna getcha" Guy said he freaked out and ran off into the woods. Now this might of been a random thing but two days after I ran into Vybor and there was a..........Axe swinging mad man killing people in town. Needless to say I remembered the forum post and decided to get out of dodge before this Abraham Licoln wanna be turned me into his next video.

Lol-True Story. I seen it happen.

Wow, Angry Much? If I posted a question like this, I'd laugh my ass off to every hachet comment I got. Your asking a question only you can answer considering you have the weapons and you truely know what you want to use. Everyone has their preferences, so you will get Bandits saying keep the DMR, and Shotgun lovers saying keep the 870. Still boils down to what you want. 870 is kind of rare but in the end not really and is outshined by the m1014. DMR is harder to get than a lot of other guns. Both do different things and are better with different playstyles. Edit: Keep both, that way you don't need to compromise.One for in town, the other for killing players from a distance. Just drop all your ammo in a tent or something. You shouldn't need as much ammo as your carrying.

DAYZ GOLD! Oh and that bitch got what she had coming.................SHE STOLE YOUR CHEMLIGHT RIGHT OUTTA UR HANDS

Oh and the soundtrack you used made the video that much better lol.

The only way to add "value to life" is to add some type of (for lack of a better word) Leveling system. There I said it, lets World of Warcraft it up! But no really. There should be drops like books, newspapers, diaries, blueprints, magazines. That the play can find, and read to become a better suited character. Leveling is a shotty word for this but that's basically what it boils down too. Your character would slowly level up after repeating the same action ex: Bandaging, Shooting a specific type of gun, and be more proficient every time he does it after. Making people that manage to survive for extended amounts of time while still being active and not just afking in the forest for free increases to their character. You would actually need to find the stuff yourself to learn it. NO PICKING IT UP AND STASHING IT FOR LATER- Although In real life you would be able too, That would just promote more item whoring in the magical tent cities outside the map. As of right now everyone is a badass Medic with flawless bandaging skill and can do blood transfusions with a flick of the wrist. All while repairing several types of vehicles and throwing grenades and sniping assholes 800 meters away. It's bland and makes characters that have been alive for extended amounts of time basically even with everyone. I don't think a someone that has went to college for several years and practiced medicine and the medical field should be in the same skill bracket as someone that just started. Once your character being alive is more valuable than gear, will you cut down on death matches and hording of gear I think. No brand new player wants to go into a gunfight agaisnt a veteran that has mastered the gun he's using and has learned the proffession of death dealing. TL;DR: Read Books, Repeated Actions, Character Developes, Spawn With Mediocre Knowledge Instead Of Green Berets.

I didn't shoot a guy that was unarmed in Balota airfield simply because he had nothing and was no threat. I knew there was no guns or anything to loot in the airfield, but after looking around for 5 minutes in the control tower, he comes back and axe murders me after having a good conversation and me helping him get safely to the fucking tower. People shoot everyone because everyone can be the nicest fucking person in the world until they pick up a weapon. Trust doesn't just happen in a split second.

I'm sorry, Dallas 31. Stole the truck not far from Lopatino in the tree line west of it. It was in mint condition and had roughly a full tank. If it was your's......my bad. IF it wasn't then there just so happens to be a free White Truck spawn in those woods apparently lol.

To the penis that destroyed my tent in Berezino. I'm coming for you.

I would also like to know. I miss my dear beloved truck and tractor.

MicroLiters lol? edit: nevermind that would be 600k blood.

You should tell your sniper buddy to actually zero in his scope. I don't think he would of hit any of them if he had too lol.

Look for a scoped weapon. Almost always shows that guy is a bandit. I've never met a friendly sniper. EVER.

Don't attract a zombie. Problem solved.

LOL YOLO!

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” This is why.

Yes I want to be reunited with my Truck and Tractor. My precious!

Guille suits dropping their back packs, decent. Heat nope. It wouldn't change anything if it heated you up anyways the best cover is always under a tree in the shade. Thermal Scopes, Yeah their strong. Point? I have never seen someone outside a youtube video or stream that has them. Night Vision extremely over powered at night time. Yes if you run into someone with NVGs and you don't have them, your going to die. Simple as that. Do I think the game would be incredibly more interesting without Thermal Scopes and NVGs? Yes I do. Night time would be some random ass fun because all you would see is flashlights and random flares and chemlights all over the fucking place. BUT Life is not fair, NVGs are not fair, Guille suits are not fair. Luck based sure. Just like life. You say you want realism but you want to remove realistic items people may or may not have/find/get? Your suggestions are basically not suggestions, they are tears about stuff you can't find and how people use them agaisnt you. I do however think Military items and weapons should be far rarer than they are now, but the map is already established so not much they can do until release of a new map. TL;DR: TL;DR:
