I'm hoping ill at least spark the thought of "maybe i should not shoot this guy" in at least a few people.

Oh well, i will never change. Helping people is so much funner than killing. Maybe its because i already have so many PvP games. Guild wars 2, CoD. There arent many games out there that genuinely let you help people. Theres been quite a few times i've given someone my main weapon and left myself with just a pistol. Selflessness over selfishness in my eyes. :)

Creepy.

Welp, you'll never know the great feeling of helping someone, rather than shooting someone.

I was in elektro just passing through, looking for supplies. A guy was in the hospital so i walked into it and asked "Whos in there, friendly?" he said "Yeah, im friendly." and then started asking questions, so i got a bit suspicious. Eventually we made friends and i gave him a blood transfusion he asked for (2780 humanity woo!). I had to pick off a bunch of zombies who were coming towards us first. We exchanged a few words and he said he was going to check out the store. A really nice moment. Situations like this is why i play DayZ :) About 10 minutes later im back in the hospital, and i come across a guy in a guille suit, and has a rare automatic weapon. I ask friendly? And he sounds incredibly suspicious on mics and starts following me. I keep saying "stay back man, im really suspicious of you" but he ignores and keeps following me, so i keep turning corners to stay out of his line of sight. im thinking he wanted me to stay still to take a clear shot. After about 30 seconds of him chasing me around the hospital roof (lol) he starts taking a few shots. I yell out on mic "Chill man, im not shooting back" but he continues, im actually laughing on mic saying "Jesus man, aggressive much?" I bolt it down the stairs and make my way out. I refuse to kill anyone unless its a sniper, or they end up shooting me directly. Even if i lose my gear.

Just tried to jump over barbed wire, instantly died and lost everything after gathering for 2 hours. Im done.

damn right.

Hope more people participate in this. :P

Just had a great shootout with a guy who had an automatic. I only had 4 bolts. He killed me but i seen him faint, and was bleeding. Hopefully he died :(

Yep, ive never thought about the crossbow until now.

I'm going to issue a challenge to you survivors. I thought this up a couple of days ago and only just played through it. Ill explain below. I'm not a hardcore DayZ player, but i play regular and have done for months and months. If you're like me you may find it hard to find purpose when you have an extremely powerful weapon and a bunch of supplies. It seems you become more stressed about losing said item rather than enjoying it. I'd always pass on the crossbow for better weapons. Afterall, its aim is wonky, each bolt takes up a slot and it isn't particularly accurate. Perfect. After starting a new game a couple of hours ago the first weapon i came acoss was the crossbow with 2 bolts. So i said to myself, what if i just survived using this? I've never had this much fun in a long time. Theres something very satisfying putting a bolt through a zombies head, then running over to the body to collect it. Or taking down a guy wielding a AK with just a crossbow(i'd imagine). I was in a house with about 4 zombies chasing me, i'd shoot one, and wiggle around the room trying to gather the bolts I'd used. Every bolt you find feels like a blessing because you're so short on space for your ammo. So here are the rules. Feel free to post any others if they're good, and will make the challenge fairer on yourself. Remember, do this challenge properly or don't do it at all. You'll only be cheating yourself. :) -You are allowed to use no other weapon other than the crossbow to kill things. -Melee weapons are permitted until you find a crossbow -Once you find a crossbow, even if you have no bolts, you aren't allowed to use any other weapon. -Guns are only allowed to be put into your backpack. You cannot aim, shoot, wield or carry any other weapon, besides in your backpack. You can give them to whoever, just YOU are not allowed to use them. Simple and few, but effective. Let ze games begin! I want to hear some good stories surrounding this. :) This is my crossbow. There are many like it, but this one is MINE. My crossbow is my best friend. it is my life. I must master it as i must master my survival. My crossbow without me is useless. Without my crossbow, i am useless. I must fire my crossbow true. I must shoot straighter than the bandits who are trying to loot me. I must shoot straight at the zombies who are trying to eat me. I must kill them before they kill me. I will.

Makarov body shots take about 10 shots to kill them (Which i think is good, if its not a headshot) But one thing that IS annoying me is their sight. They are seriously seeing me from 5x the distance they used to. This is a change? It makes it impossible to sneak past them. Maybe thats the point.

Its definatly worse when creating a new character

It used to be under a minute or two but now its over like.. 5 minutes. My computers pretty badass too. Its usually worse when creating a new character it'll stick on "loading". It takes so long and sometimes doesnt load at all. Any ideas how to fix this.
