Just trying to figure out if it was the tree. I usually go close to a tree. If you log in, you stand. That's really the thing which would be new. That zeds or players are close you kinda know and you would expect to see what is happening. Insta death seems odd. I dont server hop enough to have the experience that others can see you kill you before you had a chance to even see it. -

OK, sure it's a dangerous place, I would have just liked to see why I died. I expected to die there, but not log in dead. That's the annoying part. -

Thanks :) I died since then three times . Once suicide from a lighthouse and once a guy came in axe wielding on me being newly spawn and once I tried out how long it takes to punch kill zombies. -

No i was outside under a tree close to the deer stand. But in case there was hive lag maybe. -

OK, I thought the voice was an error. As far as I remember from the Mod, the incoming chars get somehow moved to nomans land and then you move to your position. After I heard the voice it was still 2 minutes until i saw the dead message. It was wait or something like that. But I hear you. I was fully kitted (aka bored) so I moved to NW to die anyway. I just thought I would die a bit less pathetic :D -

up north
-
If I get a survivor fully kitted out, I usually go north (as in the mod). I only make contact with villages if I have to. I avoid people. This is were I would consider myself having beaten the game if you can survive with minimal risk. In the mod a canteen, an axe and matches was all you needed. Killed animals and made food, occasionally went to a waterhole. In SA. I have two packs of rice and chrunching crisps. 6 cans, a canteen several cans of beans. I did one kill of an innocent on purpose in 12 months to see what it's all about. Decided Bandit isn't my style. I KOS though close to military installations. It's just the most sensible way. I dont kill cause I am bored though. I log out and play or do something else.

I Can't Change/View My Character/Name?
Ankhenaten replied to applejaxc's topic in New Player Discussion
Someone seems to have deleted my evolutionary ecology posts in another thread about psychology of a bandit. These were entirely relevant. Altruism vs selfishness is the core theme of Dayz.. It's a matter of serious debate why a species like Homo sapiens sapiens is altruistic at al. My examples were from Google Scholar http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&q=altruism&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= Most people seem to see KOS as a psychological issue. I am the opinion it's a level higher on the evolutionary ecology level mixed with simple boredom, which is a psychological issue. Whoever deleted my post has in fact deleted a highly relevant post. My other posts are granted a bit random, as when I write serious stuff very few follow anyway. Quod erat demonstrandum as above. :) -

You should not have intercourse with Howard in game. Bernadette will be angry. <_<

I run a lot. After I ran a lot, I die. :)

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with pikas and hares, make up the order Lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit. ^_^

The search didn't reveal where he is, why he is not there anymore. I only get "failed to load military beret". Is he invisible. Asked for too much money.

Great Game, So Far Encountered In-Game Players Not So Great...
Ankhenaten replied to Macovzki's topic in New Player Discussion
Had one instance with two guys in a supermarket, we talked nothing happened one guy had an axe I had an axe and the third had a rifle. I have also been shot, no questions asked. It sucks .. but then it makes doing anything thrilling. If there was no KOS this "game" would be the most pointless running and flashlight Tamagochi sim with an oversized engine. -
That alpha bloerb was around since the beginning. On the plus side, one gets a lot of different games since Rocket will never ever arrive at a final game. :D
-
Hmm,3D Tamagotchi with rare food and rotten bananas. The early mod was still the best. I don't really see that all this alpha time has improved gameplay. Zombies not really an issue, players not really an issue. Just running around looking in houses. I don't care about my character as I don't find anything useful. No I am halfway in the map and when a zombie comes I want to die,. It's that tedious. I ran 20 minutes bleeding, thirsty, hungry and sick. Unconsciousness finally came. Optics have improved though. :thumbsup:
-
Yeah probably, but I left the Mod when I could survive easily. Hard to balance these things. Server hopping seems to be not frowned upon anymore. ;) :unsure:
-
Sadly no, it was some form of white shiny disco boots. :D

Two hours playing and no food ... Second character died within an hour with no food. I played the mod which was better tbh. There is nothing there. All servers at night. The only way drinking was at wells. I found a bag pack with firewood, one wrench and one baseball bat, stupid pants, sissy boots, worn wellies. Given the fact that you can live two weeks without food. Met two zombies. One I let kill me, Supermarket also blank. flashlight simulator :)
-
Not sure if the CPU power is there, but a nice new mind f*ck would be an occasional earthquake, possibly localised (see resources) that aggro all Zeds. Not often, but occasionally so that you crawl through the village, just hoping it doesn't happen just now. And then it does ...

I've seen players with 20+ days survived...HOW?
Ankhenaten replied to Aypoc's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Luck. Met a hacker that teleported to me. I was leaning behind stairs. I emptied a whole clip into his as 50 ghillie suit appearance. He shot and hit the stairs several times. I assume because he was so close he couldn't zoom in. Well I reloaded and after another clip of stanag with no effect it was pretty clear he was a hacker. I logged out and survived. Usually I loot hoarders stuff so I rarely meet people. The thrill if you meet one is actually cooler than playing team fortress in the south. But with loading screen respawn south bug, that playstyle is now not really possible. So I don't play anymore. Just occasionally log in to see if Rocket ruined the game even more. Dogs lol -
Dayz, fanboyz myths , and impact of hacking on the game [different approach]
Ankhenaten replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Only time I met a hacker was in ghillie Vehicles, very very rare. Usually off map. Sounds legit. Always wondered where all the vehicles were. Surely at least once you would find one at a spawn location.
