Followed by... ...actually made me laugh.

I did a runthrough and found a M9SD with 2 mags, a M4 CCO with 3 mags and a coyote 24 slot backpack along with some generic stuff like food and medicine.

This would completely remove the stealth part of this game. No.

Tell me a more realistic and balanced system then. Also, I'm not trying to remove PvP, just balance it in a way where people can't run around and kill new players endlessly for the fun of it without any punishment. By the way, logging out to regain ammunition and escape firefights is not very realistic either. I'm sure you "Carebear killers" do that too. So stop being such a hypocrite.

That is because especially players at high risk spots choose low pop servers to safely loot those places. On a high pop server maybe 5% of the people are near those spots and the other 95% near the coast. On low pop with like 10 people 80% might be up there. And yes, I was at the small NE airfield a few times and never met anyone. Probably because it has even lower military loot spawns than Balota airfield and takes way longer to get to. The only thing of interest is a chopper which is taken by a clan already 99% of the time.

I think you should either get some kind of small punishment for killing other players or a reward for cooperating with others. I know some will say that helping others is enough of a reward, but in the end you get nothing out of it except maybe a loyal friend (or often get betrayed by the person you helped). You even loose important stuff like morphine if you help others. Player killers however only gain something at the moment. Items and safety. The only flaw in that is that people might abuse that system to shoot eachother and then heal up again to get as many rewards as possible...

The LA85 has a nightvision and a heatvision mode for the scope, but other than that, no.

The LA85. It was one of the weapons you are in awe of when you find them, just like the FAL. But the scope is useless during daytime and in PvP since it is so complicated. The only time I think the weapon would be useful is during a nighttime ambush on other players or something. Other than that, regular assault rifles are way more useful.

I think players should be able to stomp down barbed wire and step over it and drag hedgehogs around. This way you could assure they would only be used as zombie fortifications.

Soon after I started playing this game, I noticed a lot of players frowned upon the Makarov PM. So whenever I found a M1911 or a revolver I would quickly exchange my Makarov for it. Only since a few days I have actually learned to value the "BB gun" a lot and turned down a few M1911's and revolvers for it. Here's why: 1.) As a more advanced and experienced player, I have learned to aim for the zombies heads, so the low damage is mostly negated. 2.) Magazines for it are really common so ammo is not a problem (especially when you head north ammo is often rare for any weapon) 3.) Most importantly: The sound is really low. It only seems to attract zombies from less than ~10m. Now as a more advanced player I usually have a fully automatic weapon for player encounters so I don't need a high damage pistol, also I don't want to waste my primary rounds on zombies, so the Makarov is perfect. NOTE: I'm only talking about the common pistols here. Obviously, if you find a M9 SD it's a far better choice than the Mak. But between the pistols that you usually find in the starting towns, it's by far the best one in my opinion. So, to the more experienced players in here. What do you use until you find one of the rarer pistols?

I just got my broken bone and my blood loss healed by Brian @ RMG. Amazingly helpful and trustworthy player, I can a 100% recommend him for medical assistance.

I desperately need help at the international airfield, my leg got crushed by a door in the barrack and zombies brought me down to 6k blood. I'm currently in the top floor of the firestation and need someone to bring me a blood bag and some morphine. JUST INCASE anyone might want to trick me (don't think anyone on here would though), don't even bother, the only slightly valuable thing I have is an AKM with 4 mags.

I was looting the cherno supermarket at night when a guy came through the frontdoor carrying a pistol. I shot him point blank, afraid of him doing the same. As I looted his body I noticed that his pistol was actually a flashlight and he had just spawned.

I joined two different servers today on which I both tried to raid Cherno. But none of the buildings had any loot in it, not even tin cans or other trash. Is this a server side bug or am I just extremely unlucky?

I found other servers today where loot was perfectly find, but on two or three everything way empty. I considered that maybe I desynched with the server or something so no loot showed up but there were still server messages showing up so it seems improbable.

I found a hatchet and some food earlier near prigo but other than that every single building, be it cafe, supermarket, barn, firestation or even random shack was empty.

Because you have only limited inventory and backpack space. Try finding another backpack with more slots and you may get to take them all!

Hello, I'm looking for a mature and experienced group of EU survivors. I got DayZ since two weeks and I'm a decently experienced already. The group should be using some kind of voice chat like skype or teamspeak. If you're in such a survivor group, please respond here.

Press backspace.

If you fire a gun thats zeroed to 400m at a target 100m away it will go above where you aim, since it's destinated for a target further away.
