I must guess there's really a problem with the animals. Since yesterday i walked half the map and only see rabbits. Now i'm close to death. Don't know what it is but i'm pretty sure there's something wrong.

Oh yes, after so much bad luck, i'm eventally a lucky SOB today ! :)

Thanks guys, i've sent Trooper a pm with my location. I haven't used my steam account for months, so i first have to look how it works. Do we have to use the same server ? (newbee in MP) EDIT: I can't believe it. I've read about deer stands rarely spawning morphine and it's true. I've found one "autoinjector morphine" and lots of other stuff. So i'm doing fine again. Thanks anyway for your help ! However, if i can do anything for you guys, please leave a message here or a pm.

Thanks Trooper, sorry, need an hour for RL, hope you understand. But i'll asap send you my exact position in a PM, ok ? I'll have a look for the patch number too, don't know yet. Your help is really appreciated.

Hi Medics, today i ran out of luck, broke my leg a second time at a tree. Always playing very cautios, seeking only to survive. I got a full equipment to survive so it's worth the help. Now i kindly aks for help with a morphine autoinjector. I like to offer a box of matches or maybe a second water bottle. I'm in the wilderness in the far west. Thank you in advance.

I'm an OFP/ArmA veteran but new to MPing and DAYZ. I first want to thank all Free Server Hoster and Rocket for this great free Mod. It's just great that i get totally free servers and a brilliant free Mod and having so much fun. And we should let some stupid kids ruin this for everybody ? I stand up and applause all server admins banning these people to let the real players enjoying this game.

Every noob knows how dangerous the airfields are anyway. So you took the high very high risk to go there. And again, it's a free alpha version, take it or leave it. Don't blame Rocket and his crew for this. Your own fault.

i got stuck yesterday on a lake, no way out. i changed to different servers to find me on the beach again. did a respawn and was event. back on the lake. then i could free myself again, but don't know how it worked. as what i know it's still a bug of ArmA.

Hi, i'm not sure if this is a kind of bug or if i do something wrong: Sometimes, when i open gear and then click on "open backpack", the layout of the inventory changes. Then you see the backpacks item slots and move items in and out. But sometimes it's different and the original gear layout remains ? On top of this, when i then want to move items between bag and normal gear, some items get lost. They are not dropped to the floor that i could pick them up again. Thanks for any help. cheers, gam

This no help. I'm sure that i've made it clear, that it doesn't work allways as shown in the video too. Once again, sometimes the item layout of the BP is shown as in the video. But sometimes it doesn't, it stays the same layout as the normal gear layout.

What's wrong with all the Cheaters, Server-Hoppers and Wannabe-Hackers ? Your life is very comfortable and safe, no real dangers, no real challenges. So you're playing computer games to get some fun and some thrill. Then you get a brilliant alpha version of a Zombie-Survival-Mod for free. So eventually you can face a great challenge, try to survive one day after the other, always on the run, get new gear, explore a new world ! This could be fun for weeks or months. But what do you do ? All you can do is exploit the hell out of the game, ab/using every technical way you can find. Like in real life, you always try to find the most easy way for everything. Your only challenge left is to find the biggest gun, a sniper rifle, but asap ! Then you really believe you're a great sniper, believing you're the White Feather of Chernarus. The after some days you are one of the guys complaining you get bored of the game. What's wrong with you ? Do you fast forward to see the end of a great movie first ? Do you read the end of a book first ? You're ruining your game and you don't even realise it ! Or are you one of those always complaining people ? Do you really think ArmA2 and/or DayZ is buggy ? Then you've never played e.g. "Silent Hunter 5" or other games that were so called final releases. About those wannabe-hackers and copy-and-paste-script-kiddies - no, that's not worth the lighting of one single pixel on the screen. The kids are not allright. Thanks for reading, and your comments are appreciated.

A good point you made, probably the one and only reason for their childish behaviour is just seeking attention. They'll never understand that they are just annoying. Poor kids.

Your're really a big killer.

Don't give up. Just play the game solo as long as a RL friend may joins you. Getting killed by any other player, i never met before, is fine with me. But players doing social engineering are seriously ill. Looks like you find these people in any part of your real life, so in Gaming too. Bugs will be fixed, but you just can't do anything about these people.

This game DOES succeed as it is. If you get always shot, you're not careful enough. Nobody ever said it's a team-up-and-hunt-zombies-game. This game is about surviving, nothing else. Just imagine it would be real, think about it. You may like to compare this scenario with Mad Max II, if you remember the movie ? Some good people had to fight some bad people in a world of anarchy.

Sorry, but this was the right penalty for trying to change the server. This is cheating. What's the point in doing this ? If it's too hard for you, play something else. Why can't people just play the game ?

Thanks for your storys, a good read compared to the most other threads here.

Come on guys, first thing to do is making a plan, studying the map. Don't run around like a headless chicken.

Can i read anywhere how long i'm already surviving ? I only know that there is an info about "day X" and your current location when you log in. thank you

Thank you Elias.

Thanks for sharing your plans and also like to read a bit of your char's story. I would not yet take the risk of showing up at an airfield or big city. But the danger must be exciting, so i'll try to resist as long as possible. I've found a ghillie once, don't remember where it was. But it was useless as i was already starving and loosing blood. Eventually i lost in a fight with Zeds.

Ah, ok, so i guess you're trapped in a house, running out of water, hundreds of Zeds lurking behind the walls and a triggerhappy sniper waiting for you and just discovered that activated satchel charge ? ;)

I'd say it wouldn't be too hard if there wasn't : - high chance of breaking your bones whatever you do (wip) - hackers, exploiters, server hoppers - too many sniper rifles

Doesn't make sense to me. If i get robbed all my gear, what's the difference to a respawn ? I'd always try to run away and escape. Doesn't make sense to me. If i get robbed all my gear, what's the difference to a respawn ? I'd always try to run away and escape.

I'll shoot only other armed players when they come too close. Just got a weapon after respawn, i met an unarmed survivor in a little town, so he wasn't a threat. I instantly chatted "friendly", but no response. Even there were lots of Zeds around, he was running around like mad. The problem is that it does need only one player in a thousand that kills you on first sight, game over. I'd love to make some friends too, but Surviving is the goal, nothing else. So i see no other way as killing other players.
