Yeah... It's so romantic to sit next to campfire inside barn by candles and empty Jack Danniel's bottles just listening to zombies' moans outside while looking into each others eyes...

I vote too for removal of western weapons. There's no place for them in eastern country. Plus bring G36C FFS!

Yeah that's funny as hell. First time I heard it was when zombies were lining up in a long barn as I was shooting them with makarov. One of them moaned at me "fuck that hurts." I shouted back at him IRL "yeah bitch that's gonna hurt and you gonna fucking die!". Got me good laugh (:

Hello all. First question is about murder counter. So I was at the quarry near Solnichny as I saw a figure running near the city. It was really far away so I saw just few pixels but anyway recognized it as crouch-run with long rifle. I went prone, brought iron sight of my beloved Enfield and made a shot. It landed much below the figure. The survivor hits the dirt and starts to crawl. I adjust my aim by pointing few millimeters higher, then BOOM – as I see the cloud appeared just at the point where pixels were crawling. But I don’t see the figure anymore: it's on edge of a view distance + grass layer. I made few more shots to the same location to empty the clip. I checked my murder count and it was 0 (fresh character hehe). So I thought "whatever, no chance to hit, he was too far away". But on my way downhill I suddenly notice that murder counter increased to 1! So my question is if person dies from bleeding does it count for me as a kill? Or just the counter update is too slow? Second question is about Glock17 and it's firepower. So I was looting that 5-story building in Berezino as suddenly I hear footsteps in the next room. "Server hoppers" – I say to myself. I run into the next room: guy with ghillie suit and DMR. Does he have a chance with his sniper rifle against me in CQC? Of course not (it was veteran server with no crosshair too). I unload half a clip on him, he has blood fountains all over his body and… disappears! "FUCKING DC COWARD" – I tell myself. As of fear that he will reconnect behind me I start to run to the staircase to escape the building. There I find another guy with shotgun. As I get right in front of him, unload the rest of the clip which is 7-8 shots, I clearly see the shots hit (those red clouds that represent blood). He's bleeding like fucking fountain! But doesn’t die! While I go backward to reload my pistol he finally gets an aim and shoots me to death. So WTF with Glock? Is it so underpowered? It was zero distance, I saw my every shot lands on their bodies! Or were they fucking cheaters? What I learnt from this encounter is that you have to use the heaviest gun you have. I had AKM on my back. I was using G17 just because I didn’t want to waste precious ammo on some random zombie that could spawn inside the building.

Thank you for the answer. But it was much more than 3 hits. Ok, I may understand how I didnt kill the first guy - maybe he DC'ed right away and I was shooting his ghost. But the second one was moving and trying to get and aim on me. He got about 8 bullets in the chest region. There were blood fountains all over his body. And when you die you have few seconds before that "you're dead" screen appears. During that time I saw him approach me and crouch above my body. I know about the lag and that guy may die after few seconds he got hit. But I should have seen him dying during these last seconds! I cant belive he survived 8 gunshots. He should have at least lose his consciousness because of pain.

Do you remember the name of the server? Because that exactly what I did last time

Furthermore it's 100m or something to swim from the mainland to the island. You dont have to be olympic champion to do that.

According to that "feature" these marines should successfully pass the training by losing all their gear?

As soon as I get back from work I will kill the first fresh spawn I see (since am on the shore anyway). Yes, I will shoot him for bandage and Coyote Patrol Pack because I have nothing on me except Enfield that I found in Tulga.

Funny. I wrote about it already but once I as fresh survivor with few roadflares met a guy with AK while looting some village. He made mistake for not shooting at me since I've thrown flare at him aggroing all the zeds around.

I dont care for veteran servers as long as they have 3P on. This game IS NOT PVP only, zeds have inhuman sense abilities so you have to have 3P. If this game was PvP only then I would vote for no 3P too.

So it reads in the newest beta patch that they fixed the problem with losing all you gear while being in the waters, right? Last night I got fully equipped, ALICE pack, M16 with 7 mags, binoculars, etc. Found a map and there was a marker at Skalisty Island saying "heli crash" . So I headed there, entered the sea, began to swim. After some time I noticed 3 figures running on the mainland. I thought it was fresh survivor running from zeds, but then I've noticed that they stop sometimes and point their guns at me! I've got so excited, thought these were some clan members that were guarding the crash site. Told myself "wait a bit, in a moment I'll be on the shore and will pop their skulls with my M16". Finally , I got to the shore and what do I see? I have nothing! Absolutely nothing on me! M16, ALICE pack, binos… ALL GONE! And you know what I had in that pack? 5 blood bags and six pieces of Morphine! Do you realize how hard is it to get such a loot? For 6 morphine injectors you could get killed in real life if people knew where you live! If a patch says you shouldn't loose you gear then you really shouldn't! If I knew that this is BS and lies I wouldn't enter the waters in the first place! If something doesn't work then don’t say it does! Now I understand why those guys didn’t open fire on me. It's because they knew that I will loose all my gear anyway and were laughing their hairy asses off.

I dont thing that it is relevant to loot Cherno/Elektro ATM, TBH. Too many people suggest it so too many people are constantly doing it. I've been playing DZ for a few weeks and NEVER found anything useful at suggested spots because everyone is constantly looting these locations and then do a server-hopping. Best locations for easy high-grade loot are deer stands. These stands spawn only 3 zombies and dont come under constant sniper fire.

Yeah it's a bit messy sometimes. Try crouching standing up, pressing R to reload, right-left clicking. Should help.

Oh... You are so wrong and you are so underestimating those fleshlight carriers... Once I had nothing but pack of road-torches. I was crawling the village for loot as I stumbled upon that guy with AK. He was a bandit but he ignored me (probably didnt want to agro the whole village). Too bad for him! I threw a torch at him and laughed my ass off as watching him being torn apart by zeds

I feel great about it. Yesterday I ran across 3 corpses: 2 of zombies one of a player. But I couldnt loot him, so I checked his pulse - it was strong! So I quickly took my axe and hacked him while he is unconscious! That guy had some decent weapons and full bag of meds. Probably crashed his keyboard seeing how brutally I ripped him.

I dont know about you, but I eat in real life ONLY when my character eats in DayZ. That I call realism!

Request: - Increase food/drink spawn. Currently there's almost none! Been to 3 villages and found nothing but junk cans. - Decrease zombie corpse despawn interval. It's frustrating to kill some zeds from the woods just to discover that their bodies have disappeared by the time you get to them. The situation with food/drink is so desperate that i literally had to hunt zombies to get some cola and beans!

Yes, I've noticed too that after some distance they stop to chase. I even grew overconfident and started to shoot the last zombies in the back while they return home after stopping running after me.

Love the new balance of items' spawn. Started near Elektro. Found Enfield with two clips in second building. Thought it's payback time since law obidient chernorussians avoid this city. Thanks to zombies' balanced view/hearing I could without much trouble get to the tallest building and climb the ladder. When I got to the top of the tower, I crouched and started to snipe those hooligans and aggroing the zombies around. It was fun to see how those people were running around in the open trying to escape the Zeds. One desperate loser tried to shoot me with a pistol from the ground. I lol'd at him and put a bullet in his mouth to shut him up. But then my luck ended. Since I was crouching and leaning all around this 1x1m square, I accidently fell off. Survived! But lost consciousness. Hourglass was ticking very slow for some reason and I got eaten alive by 2 zeds in that time. Latest hotfix seems to be perfect: no FPS drop in huge Electro, balanced loot and balanced zeds' hear/view senses.

I think bis servers got too many connections that's why it asks for a password. DayZ puts too much pressure on bis, eh? ;)

Add the line to the first post that it needs latest beta patch. 5 people already asked about it.

Do we need the latest beta-patch for ARMA2?

Is it possible to add dual-wielding axes?
