"Lost" Alice

I've spawned in Novy before, I actually preferred it! if you run at the door hard enough you'll eventually break though (without breaking your legs) be careful of the zombies that have spawned though! I died the first time I spawned in Novy because I didn't realize that 6 zombies spawned just for lil ol' me EDIT: also, this helped with my FPS issues http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html

Good point! I never thought of that, you're most likely to find partially used ones in residencies so that makes sense. I just wish (for as often as I find myself using them) I could at *least* get two uses out of each pack.

I feel this way about pain pills.

This is kinda fucked up. I LOVE IT. You're certainly right about the trophies, and how people would want to collect them. I would go out of my way to get my parts back though xD if only to retain my dignity. Also, I totally forgot about the Australian thing since the L4D2 incident, that's incredibly silly. I need to read some literature on the subject, I'm curious to know why it's in place, Australians are just as numbed to violence as the rest of us, right?

I am curious to know as well

When I first started playing, I don't know why I kept forgetting that not taking the ladder to get down from a deer-stand will most likely break your leg, I seriously had to break my leg two or three times before it stuck and I started remembering. I am still subject to making poor decisions about things I can or cannot jump off of. Thank god I'm a medic :-D

I've heard of script-kiddies porting two random survivors to their location (and have them surrounded with weaponry to discourage escape) give them two hatchets, make them fight to the death, and then whoever wins is rewarded with a Bike (but stripped of gear) and then set free. I'd honestly be super excited if that happened to me, provided that I won the bike >.> Because then he wouldn't have this awesome story to tell! obviously! :D For me, it's story > Gear. You can always get your gear back, but you might have missed out on a fun or awesome experience. If this guy disconnected, we would have never had this great story either. http://games.on.net/...ped-me-in-dayz/

While I am frustrated with the amount of pointless KOS'ing and snipers spawn camping the poor newbies. I AM concerned that bandit-indicators will take away a major factor of tension and suspense that comes with not knowing. with that said, I have no freaking idea how to find a balance between the two, it will be impossible to find a system everybody is happy with. But I am eager to see what will come of it. and I trust the devs will fix anything that goes too horribly wrong. But for now, I embrace the testing and experimentation! Look at us still talking when there is more alpha testing to do! :D

I agree, it's extremely frustrating to live by a no-kill rule as a medic, the ONLY way I can get by is the fact that I'm sneaky. BUT WHO CARES IF THREE PKers ARE FOLLOWING ME, ALL WITH NVGs AND THERMAL SCOPES. I mean really. Bandits are necessary to the game, but why the fuck are we giving them thermal scopes and anti-material rifles just laying around everywhere? not to mention duplicating haha.

MOUNTAIN DEW :DDD But it's terrible bad luck, got killed in a church shootout where everybody died (Bodycount: 6) about 30 minutes later.

HE MUST HAVE IT

All the dudes are getting this cool stuff and all I want to do is wear a stupid Ghillie Suit so I don't stick out like a sore thumb.

That's effin cool

That put the funniest image in my head xD It's times like these I wish I could draw, because that would be a hilarious day Z comic strip. "ERRRMAHGAWD WHAT ARE FLASHLIGHTS FER"

Double post, sorry >.<

Usually I give people supplies and tell them good and safe places to loot and find their own survival gear O_o and then I go along my own way. I'm pretty sure most people are giving advice along with help, and the advice is invaluable to a new player. Especially since nobody wants the same freaking newbie bugging them for free stuff all the time. also I like helping because there isn't much to do at end-game, and this makes the game fun and gives me stories to tell! (I love the stories) Why does people helping other people have your panties all tied in a knot?

AHH IT'S A SHACO KILL IT WITH FIRE PINK WARD!! PINK WARD NOW!!!

I think mountain dew wants to stay with you 0.0 because it feeds off your grief and stress. It will get you killed, but somehow stay in your backpack, to put more misfortune upon you, until it gets bored and moves onto another victim (usually via, being killed and looted by the killer). Mountain Dew is pure evil!!! Or in some cases, utter good luck, according to about 3 posters so far.. Haven't made a solid theory yet xD I'm going to assume that the guys who have Mountain Dew as their lucky charm, are in for a shitstorm and the Mountain Dew is just biding it's time giving you all the best loots only to RIP IT AWAY FROM YOU WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST BWHAAHHAHA Or at least that's what I'm guessing >.>

I've only really been truly upset about two deaths. 1- I was dying of thirst, and I had crawled all the way to the side of a lake, and ended up curling up and dying right beside it. BECAUSE APPARENTLY I AM INCAPABLE OF DUNKING MY HEAD IN THE WATER AND DRINKING, I NEED A DAMN CANTEEN. 2- I was overwatching for my friends looting the cherno medical tents, on the roof I decide I'm going to go prone, and as soon as I hit the button, the game takes over, and walks alice right off the roof. It was an agonizing 4 seconds of me yelling "No! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................... Balls"

OMG, xDDD Those had me almost falling out of my chair, Thanks for that, I needed a good giggle ^.^

HAHA! I never even thought of that, but a lot of hilarious and funny stories DO pop up! The main reason why I love Day Z is because of the vastly different stories people have to tell from playing it. This is the greatest mod ever, I mean how many mods for games can brag that they produce both Tragedy and Comedy in their players?

OMG xDDDD This is my favorite so far. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BEANSSSS

Honesty, the only reason I do it is because I like how the green text matches my avatar picture ^.^ OOOH Interesting! The one case of Dew being Good Luck! :-D Do you still have it until this day?

Well sir, you are my hero for helping that first survivor. But I can sympathize with you on being forced to shoot the second. We had to shoot this one survivor on the road, we gave him SO many chances to say something, but he kept pointing his pistol right at us and saying nothing, I was practically begging him to say something, so we could all calm down; but my clan-mates shot him because it was fucking unnerving what he was doing. It's an awful memory that I still have until this day (happened when I first started Day Z), he didn't have any ammo, and I think he was having mic trouble or something. I mean the LEAST he could have done is disarmed himself, to show he wasn't a threat, damn. But when I'm forced to kill for my own safety, I try and remember. How can I help anybody, if I'm dead?

I'm TOTALLY quoting this on my blog if you don't mind. Now I want a GIF of golum holding mountain dew T.T
