Or you could have made sure you logged out in a completely safe area. You are going to lose your gear, it sucks, its unfortunate and it happens, but in my opinion Day Z is not the place for something like this.

Yep, several hundred thousand players regularly playing a mod on a game such as Arma 2, very 'dead'.

I'd love to see that in forests and the wilderness, would keep you on your toes. But lag may be an issue.

This is not L4D, no thanks.

Personally I think it has made Day Z better, I've encountered people shooting at helpless survivors sure, but that's hardly new. Most of my experiences have been good, where I think people go wrong, is they assume that people are going to be automatically friendly and they run up to them and type in chat Friendly? Whilst if you have a microphone you can try and ascertain their intentions. You need to foster and build relationships in order to survive, not expect them from the get-go.

Yeah, it does seem like a good idea. But the problem is, there isn't enough enterable houses along the coast for this to be feasible. Also there's a high chance that you would spawn in front of someone and just get killed. I do like it, but I don't know if it's possible to implement at the moment with Day Z/Arma 2.

Good for you, I wish most server owners did this until it is fixed. +1 to this thread.

Lanterns would definitely be awesome, how bright would the radius be?

I like it, it adds a certain amount of risk and not knowing to Day Z. I hope it stays, don't listen to the people complaining.

Yeah, sounds good to me. +1 I'd like to see more survivor related stats.

My buddy then patched me up with morphine and we left.

try stepping over barbed wire IRL and see wut happens It certainly would not break your legs, which happens to me quite often. I do agree about the ridiculous placement of barbed wire, yesterday whilst playing I got to the church at Cherno and someone had put barbed wire in the door at a certain angle, where it was impossible to remove it.

I only have a problem with it when I vault over it, it somehow breaks my legs.

It sounds good in theory, but like others have said it is unfair. The best thing you can do is be constantly cautious of your surroundings, if you get engaged in a firefight make sure you know exactly where the shooter is at all times. Be aware of him popping out from behind you. Be AWARE.

If it is a problem, go find a server that has it, not hard really.

No, there are connections, you just have to make them. I've made friends with many people in game, when they quite easily could have killed me.

Why are you assuming that people only DC if they are being shot at by a sniper. People will DC at anytime, I was playing yesterday and I encountered a disconnecter, that disconnected after I started shooting at him at close range. It's unfortunate, but until it is fixed it is going to be a part of Day Z, so there's no point complaining about it.

It does serve a purpose, find yourself a tool box and you will be fine. Also like others have said use the search function as the forums are slowly being spammed with the same threads daily.

It sounds like you've just had bad experiences OP, there are nice and friendly people out there, you've just got to find them. I find that speaking over direct chat helps quite a bit in building relations with other survivors but always be on the look out for suspicious behavior, if you do decide to team up with someone, make sure he has good intentions. If he is trying to lead you somewhere in Cherno or Elektro, be careful as it may be a trap, try to get him to run in front of you, so if he does decide to try and shoot you, at least you'll have a chance.

Why are you so attached to your gear. You will find it again and unfortunately people are going to be like that, whenever I come across someone and I have good gear I always keep my gun trained on them and watch for suspicious behavior.

I tried to jump over some barbed wire whilst playing today, it broke my legs. Please fix it Rocket.
