Too many young people playing because no one stops them. Parents have no idea what their kids get up to anymore. Everyone thinks they are mature enough. BUT "mature enough" isn't just about you, it's about how you impact on other people too. Every kid thinks they're not a kid anymore and don't need to be told anything. I don't care how mature someone thinks they are. What I care about are things like: - Do you whine when someone else has a better weapon or item that you want? Do you go on and on and on about wanting or wishing you had it. Or do you accept that it isn't your and realise that if you listen and learn, one day you might get one too? - Do agree to things but rarely bother to do them? For exampe, agree to cover someone but not take it seriously because "it's just a game", "so what if you died, chill dude". Or when you give your word do you stick to it and do what you said you would? - Do you agree to meet someone but then not bother to show up because "it's just a game" or "or went to get dinner" or some other reason you didn't bother to plan ahead to take into account your commitments? - Do you appreciate what other people have done for you, and then take time out to return those kindnesses? Or is your first thought for yourself and what you can get?

Mr Zero, some great ideas and suggestions. Not sure why you're being attacked for such a reasonable suggestion. I read a month or so ago that there were plans for the radio in dayz. Of course, that might change now it's no longer Rocket's top priority. Still, nice idea. :thumbsup: :beans:

Hi, sorry I can't help as I just gave mine away to another player 2 days ago but I wanted to let you know I've seen them spawn some place south - probably a fire station? :thumbsup:

Actually, some very good points there, Anderson. I carry a rifle and a handgun but to kill zombies I use my axe. Unless I can't, then I use the hand gun. This is always a problem because the hand guns in dayz have been pisspoor since the devs messed with them. You're more likely to kill a zombie with verbal abuse and harsh looks than a bloody makarov! I carry a rifle because I can but frankly, I rarely hit zombies wirth them. And if I get a nice one then someone always wants it off me, and it makes me a tempting kill to bandits too.

500 - I love that icon beyond all reason. It makes me happier than ice cream! :thumbsup:

Good grief. Honestly, If only there were a NO BEANS button for some of the daft things people say. Ignore the daft stuff and sift it out of your mind, Tmull. Feeling guilty is a good sign. It show's you've a insight into actions and their possible consequences. And that you're not quite a sociopath yet! Of course, having feelings of guilt doesn't mean you need to play a different game! He didn't shoot at you, and didn't see you. I'm glad I didn't see you yesterday. I was in Cherno in a ghillie suit, as I often am. I've never aimed my gun at another player, let alone shot someone. However, you were in a complex situation and you made your choice. Perhaps it wasn't the one you would have made if you'd had more time, and the circumstances were different. So there's not point blaming yourself for one decision. However, you're not just responsible for what you did yesterday or today. You're responsible for all your choices for the rest of your life. So it's up to you how you choose to live your life in dayz, the same as in real life. :thumbsup:

Anderson, of course, I haven't forgotten the hero-skin. This thread is about the speed and ease players can end up with a bandit skin when they are not bandits and how it makes you feel, if it happens to your friends or to you.

Guetapens, enjoyed your tale! :thumbsup: Some days are full of action and some days lead to tears. Well, maybe not but almost! Especially if you've died 20 or 30 times on the same day. :huh:

Why are you posting threads like this? If you need quick, serious help then post in the MEDICAL ASSISTANCE thread! :thumbsup:

Oh for christ's sake, you don't sound too mature yourself! He's talking about some girls playing a song and making him hack-dance and you get all serious on his arse? Chill out. And of course we women play the game!

Skipped most of the talk. Should have cut that video and started around the 4 min start mark.

Hand guns are now crap in dayz but watching your video, good. Anything that makes it harder for you to kill unarmed player, is ok by me. :thumbsup:

Zombies can be fussy buggers, can't they! :thumbsup:

That was both funny and horrible! Well done on getting your regular skin back, and on helplng that fool to achieve his bandit skin! You already part way there to a hero skin :thumbsup: Did he say anything? I have to suspect he was a bit of a fool and didn't mean to kill you? Or was it simply cold blooded murder? What name did he use? And of course you can play like a hero and live in dayz - that's what the hero skin is for.

Probably witchcraft! You see, not all girl players are as lovely as me. Clearly, some are merciless harpies, forcing guys to dance! Those bitches! So no one killed you then? :thumbsup:

It amazes me how well people manage to play dayz without a microphone. It's such a convenient bit of equipment that you quickly get used to. Looking back to when I wasn't using one, I realised it takes more time to type "friendly" than to call it out. Same is true of all communication (and I'm a touch typist). I think all credit to those still using written chat because it's definitely more challenging. :thumbsup: :beans:

Loved you vid. Am on my way to subscribe now if I haven't already. Please do more vids, they are fantastic! :thumbsup:

I'm putting this in the new player area, as it will help them as well as me. I think I hit something on my keyboard and now my player won't run straight ahead - he's just running off to the right but looking left. How do I switch it back to normal please? I tried ctr, alt, altGr, shift, enter, 5, 0, etc.

Nope. I don't have an answer, as is often the case with computers. It just did not want to work properly but is ok now. I've run from Berezino to Elektro and wanted to finish my journey today. So I'm delighted it's working again. Thanks again, to all.

Yes, definintely feels faster in some movements, like the zig zag you mentioned. But they're also, dummer than ever. I watch them running off down the road and I think, Oh someone else is in trouble and then I realise it's taking some crazy path to get to me! :huh: Also, even if you keep running, zombies will still catch you because their calls tell other zombies ahead and to your sides that you are in the area. So someone will get you in the end!

Thanks again. The reboot worked. Fraggle, I think you're right but the keyboard went a bit mental! :) :thumbsup:

I think I need a reboot. It looks like something is definitely wrong. When I open map it shoots across to the far south west, off map and won't go right. Time for a reboot - thank you everyone for all your help! :thumbsup: :beans:

All I can see is my avatar from the side. I press up arrow and he runs but to me it looks like he's running right, across the screen, not like normally when I press up. I'm panicking because I'm going to die like this! I aborted and when I went bcak in it was still locked in place. I recall there's a button to hit and I've hit everything but can't remember what to do. Imagine or try to run with up and right held down - that's what I see all the time. I can't move as it's disorientating. I can't go back or forward etc.

Thanks Fly! I was hitting it once. Appreciate you help. :thumbsup: :beans: Oh blast it, nope. It didn't work! I thought it had in the dark but nope. :(

No I was running and my left hand slipped and suddenly it's as though I'm running and holding down the forward and right keys at same time but I'm just using the up arrow.
