    Do you get scared?

    I wouldn't say scared, but the longer I live, and the more items I get, the tighter I hold on. I'm at the point where I trust nobody, and will group with nobody. I almost wish I would just die sometimes so I could stop caring so much... but I guess that's part of the fun.

    [1.7.2] DayZ loot cheat sheet

    I think they should just nerf the Airfield and Military base drop rates. *puts on flame suite*

    Elecktro Exploding

    Your first mistake was being in Elektro.

    Bandits and Self Defense

    Step 1: Stay away from Cherno and Elektro. Step 2: Prosper. Sometimes you have to defend yourself, but I see way too many people hanging around these towns and complaining about being attacked. These places are hives for PKers.

    Food and water being used offline

    Luckily we're talking about food/water while logged out. Which means your character isn't moving at all. With no exertion, a person can survive at least a week with no water, and weeks without food.

    Squads/Groups

    Yep. This is the biggest issue int the game IMO. Communication is just terrible.

    Melee weapons / Zombie kills and humanity

    I would like Melee, but i feel like it should be very difficult, and melee weapons should be hard to find. The limitations on zombie killing do to ammo shortage is a big part of the game. I dont want to see people just running around meleeing zombies all day.

    Food and water being used offline

    Or just make it more realistic. A person can survive without food for weeks. A person can survive with no water for at least a week.

    The PvP Discussion Thread

    Let me start by saying I have no problem with PKing, and I don't want it removed from the game. However, the problem is that there are no established counters to PKing, and there is no way to properly communicate in the game with possible threats/friendlies. People say, well get a group, and hunt down the PKers... but that's almost impossible. After you're killed, you spawn in a random spot, probably far from where you were killed. You can't form groups, and you can't communicate with people around you effectively. You can't use a map, so you can't meet up with people. There is no effective way to counter rampant PKing. Honestly, If you could form basic groups, or at least communicate with people in your area, PKing would be far less of a problem. As it stands, there is no real penalty for PKing, and no way to counter it... other than just shooting everyone on sight. And the more popular this game gets, the worse it gets. The starting points are filled with people playing the game like its Call of Duty. They aren't killing people to get items, or to "survive". They are killing people simply to grief them, because there are no real penalties. I don't have a problem with it anymore, because I immediately spend 30 minutes running inland to avoid it... but new players are going to be turned off to the game when they can't make it 5 minutes without getting shot for no real reason, other than CoD kids have fun camping starting points and greifing new players.
