Well, it is alpha. Shit happens. I've broken my legs from some short distances, and I've broken my legs from being prone in the wrong spots. That's about it.

Wow thanks for all the responses guys. I usually succumb to the log in death. Actually, I've only been killed by players twice and died to bugs several times. Longest life = 4 days :(

Not annoying. Actually, anyone who can get annoyed by something like that is annoying in my opinion. "Oh wow so annoying." That's annoying, not someone getting a rush on DayZ. It's not like you are 11 years old and sound like you've been inhaling helium for the past hour. My beans.

Perfect idea.

Rubber Bullets sound like a great idea to me.

I'm sure most of the threads are being ignored and not really noticed because the mass of them that just say something like: "hey there was a guy on us 26 who had a golden akm and killed us" Which does nothing but waste time for developers. Maybe make it a requirement to have *PICS or *VID in the title depending on what you have and not having something is a forum offense. Possibly a warn or something. For example, someones thread says "Hacker on US 322, *PICS", but there are no pictures or anything of the sort. I feel this would really just help with the accuracy of reports. It's possible that a few reports are just butt sore players who were killed and had to get back at the person who killed them. It's possible someone wasn't hacking and someone thought they were. Really, without any form of evidence, the Cheat Reporting becomes an easy way for people who just bother you to become banned. I mean, some admins may take limited evidence, that's really up to them. If someone reports it, and they accept it, who is to blame? So really, I feel it would be great to require some sort of picture/video evidence in the cheat reporting section. Without that requirement, it becomes a mass of useless threads that help nobody and, in my opinion, cause admins to check a few useless threads and possibly miss out on one that has video. A few questions I have: Admins, do you ever see threads like the example above and take action? Do you agree with what I have to say about the section? What would you change in my idea?

Gathering from what the forum has to say this is an accurate diagram. I wasn't there to experience it, so I am just using the information from the forum.

To Grimdark Were those 3 guys in Stary Sabor? One on the Red Warehouse, one behind a bush, and one in the field?

We had a group of 7. Turned into a group of 6. Basically what happened was, there was a guy in Firetower. He spotted our over-watch in the ATC. Immediately he began shooting at them and took out one of us. We were given a clear way to sneak up on him. He was killed. Later a guy in the field (Friend of the first guy maybe?) started shooting also at the ATC. He didn't do much, except die. We found a decent amount of stuff. I found an M14 and someone else found an M4A1 CCO SD, and another guy found an M16. So I learned two things that day. Never camp the ATC. Never forget constant communication. "Are you here?" "Yes/No" "Okay that's the enemy.". Maybe if we were all a bit faster, we would have had no casualties. That's my 2 cents.

Isn't there some sort of ArmA 2 Spotting system? I'm not a programmer but I'd assume maybe there is a piece of code that identifies if a person is spotted by a player or not. If they are, then they cannot disconnect, and if they aren't then they can, maybe with a 30 second timer. Really though this would interfere with who is a friend and who is an enemy. If you log out by all your friends, well, you wouldn't be able to. Maybe a 1 minute timer that makes you immune to zombies, but able to be killed by players. Or maybe it just reduces your visibility and sound to 0, still making it so chasing zombies attack you, and players can also still attack. Yeah that would be cool.

First off, I'd like to open by saying I'm an adult, not some xx360nosc0p3xx 12 year old CoD fan. I hate CoD. Anyway, DayZ is great, really really good. I've never had such a blast of adrenaline and fun in all my life. The game is a bit rough but I can understand that coming from an Alpha game. And to be honest, so far it is the most fun I've ever had in any game. Anyway, I've been able to scavenge a few weapons for myself and I have a friend I bought the game for who accompanies me. The first life I had was actually better than it is now. I found an AKM in an airport like area. I was killed though, someone must have thought I was hostile, or they were just being a douchebag. Though, I've fared much better my second life and currently am equipped along with my friend, albeit much less interesting weaponry. I'd really like to get into a group of more than just 2 though, because even with each other me aren't as safe as I feel we could be. Any group that allows us to have around 5 players would be great. We both have microphones so that won't be a problem. Me and my friend usually log in at the same time and log off at the same time. Having 5 people I can understand this to be a problem, but I'm sure meeting up and such isn't too difficult. Anyone who is willing to get in my group should add me on steam, "Some_stranger". That's my Steam ID. Thanks for the wonderful experience so far, and I hope the community is wonderful. -Some_stranger

Someone with a II at the end of their name. Met them in I think Elektro's Industrial sector. Had a Lee Enfield, and was afraid that I was a bandit. We went all the way to Cherno and stopped by the Cranes. Then we went to the Hospital to find medical supplies. While I was in the hospital, you left, and soon I heard a gunshot and saw that you died. Sad.

Ehh, sorry. Was late at night and didn't have much time to review any rules. I think I saw similar threads in the same section so I felt it was okay. Won't happen again. And I'm in US, East Coast. My friend is the same. Currently, we all play at the same time, every time. Never do we play without each other.
