Yeah maybe you'll have the opportunity to return the favour one day, me and friend once met a gilli in cherno who gave us a car when my friend got killed by zombies Later he came to our rescue when bandits ambushed us, helped us bloodbag a load of people and finnaly have us a DMR and M4SD and left the game Good people exist, and I feel you get more satisfaction from saving someone who needs help then just killing them, but that's just me

Well I was on dayz+ and this guy is running away from a single zombie ( they hit hard in dayz+) as the guy had been bleeding and running a while and saw he needed to stop and bandage So I aim at the zombie and fire, forgetting Imto zero the bullet missed and hit the poor guy in the head at 800m It's the only moving headshot at 800m with a CZ I've ever made, it was by accident and wasn't even intended for him

I agree, I like pvp.and pve and was glad for the new challenge It had its bugs but 1.7.7 made it a nice new challenge, I just hope the next patch brings back some of this challenge as at the moment Zeds are too easy again

Yeah just make sure your a decent height ( I think under 60m the chute doesn't open) I've seen someone do that once, it made a mess

So you mean you just want to keep playing as Normal on the same character etc All you need to do is install steam again and type in your steam username and password and re download arma 2 and the mod ( which should be free on the same steam account) That's all I did when I recently bought a new computer If for some reason you don't have a steam version of the game I have no idea

Yeah in the last patch we saw more people working together even if it was only to bloodbag each other In other game modes like dayz+ when it was popular, most people I came across were friendly enough Dayz is only worth playing at the moment if your a bandit seeing as the environment struggles to kill you even when you let it Harder zombies do help somewhat with this, I've seen it many times

I've seen it happen before, also when you die while having this hachet equip it tells you who killed you and by friendly fire much like when someone kills you while your spawning in

The only problem I have with your post is that I can't give you enough beans My thoughts exactly

People complain about not finding loot because they go to the same places everyone else does Every time I've gone to a castle ( except devils Castle) I've found 3-4 assault rifles with ammo, mostly m16/ m4 and ak variants Came away with more ammo with an m4 cco than I could carry the other day There are a load of new places that loot spawns, people are just still running straight to the firestations expecting to find good weapons

There are many forms of douchbags in dayz and I make it my job to hunt down and kill those that I find, here are all of my most recent ones Please turn up your video YouTube settings to HD for best quality

Thank you all very much, yeah I have problems with my microphone sometimes, it randomly activates a boost option when I use some program's like teamspeak which causes it to echo and pick up the quieter sounds

Well then, clearly no matter what proof you get your not going to listen, your one of those who just likes to argue i see, why are you even in this thread to discuss this when your mind is already made up and nothing can convince you? And yes because I've always had an automatic weapon pointed at them, a short burst if they twitch and they die, how hard is that to believe?

No, i do it because im friendly and dont just go around killing people like most, i do it to find out if they are a danger, usually bloodbag them and leave after giving them anythin thye might need If your going to reply and quote me, read my post I know of a glitch that ALLOWS you to FIRE your weapon while its lowered, ive fallen for this before and managed to work out how to do it. so NO, lowering your weapon means nothing, even without this, if they raise it your screwed. The reason i tell people to drop their weapon is so i can talk to them without having to worry about being shot in the back, if they comply then I know I wont get much trouble from them. It has nothing to do with anything else, I dont ORDER them around, all i do is disarm them in order to progress things along without bloodshed, its THEIR choice to live or die I dont give a shit about ego, i do it for SAFETY, once im done i leave them to it Really, so its completely impossible for someone to freak out that suddenly a gun is pointed at the back of their head and they have good stuff they want to keep that they might actually surrender well you obviously got a lot of field experience with this, when i run with a group this usually always happens. Thats right, 5-6 heavily armed guys go around a corner and bump into someone and instead of shooting we tell them to drop their weapon.....and wow they do, because any idiot can tell if they just comply they wont get killed because otherwise we would have cut them in half by now.

I would drop my gun, and most people I've told to drop theirs have died trying to turn Usually say something like; " you with the (insert weapon here) in (insert building here) drop your weapon, I'm friendly but if you do anything stupid I won't hesitate" Few have dropped their weapons, ALL that tried to turn or shoot have died before they could If they were a bandit, or wanted to kill you they may as well have already done it, there's a good chance they are just trying to feel safe as in control before anything happens

Exactly, I've met some decent people because I choose to communicate rather than shoot first For example I met a guy in the middle of nowhere with a crossbow and after sniping zombies for him I disarmed him of his crossbow ( not get he needed much incentive) and he told me it was his first life and that he was lost I led him to rog castle and gave him everything he needed to get to berezino from there Think back back to when you were new and getting sniped, I could have ended his life as soon as I saw him and yet his first experience with another player was friendly, I live in the hope one day he might be on the same position and helps out someone just because he remembers that someone was willing to help someone out Maybe he won't, but the point is that he had a far better experience and Learnt a few tips from a veteran instead of a bullet to he face from a Kim away Another time me and a Friend met a gilli guy in cherno of all places and managed to convince him we were friendly, he helped us out and gave us a car when we parted ways, covered us with his dmr while we bloodbag he'd a couple of people, and came to our rescue in a heli when bandits took out our car Later we ran into him again and he gave us his dmr and an m4 SD When we met him all he had was an M29 SAW So fully geared or not, people can be friendly, or you could have shot these people and not cared less but if you find they interesting go ahead Sure I've been betrayed, but those people are normally the ones who can't hit anything and have to shoot you In the back If your not willing to try, you can't really use the argument get no one is friendly and all will stab you in the back It's true that many will, but the next time your dying and bleeding out and someone comes along and bloodbags you, don't be a dick about it, so what if they have better gear? Gear means nothing, it's everywhere. PS: thanks for the gear offer but I don't really worry about my gear, A rifle is a rifle to me so I use whatever I get my hands on and do ok Most of the time

Yeah I usually wait until they are looting before telling then to drop their weapon so they can't run quick enough And lowering a weapon isn't enough There is a certain combination of buttons that allows you to fire with a lowered weapon, I'm not going to tell you how otherwise there would be a total shitstorm of betrayals Suffice to say I've been a victim of it and used or myself when someone aimed at me when I had a lowered weapon And most people will shoot you mod blood transfusion, as soon as it registers the transfusion they shoot you WHILE the animation is finishing So no, they drop the weapon or die

And I have a year of practice bandit hunting experience, no the answer is to retaliate, not hide

Ok so your telling me , you've got to the NWAF and have everything, guns, coyote backpack ect, if a guy sneaks up on you, has an M39 SAW pointed at you and you have your back turned and he says: "Drop your gun, I just want that morphine/ antibiotics over there for my friend and ill leave you alone" Your going to attempt to turn around and kill him Your chance at success is literally zero, one click and your dead Where as you have to turn around and point your gun in his direction when he probably also had some form of cover such as leaning around a wall, if it were me ( which I have told people not to turn around before, they have never Listened and I've never been killed while attempting to do this) Id have my finger on the trigger, I've done it a load of times, and each time they have tried to turn around I've always killed them Do your risking all this top end stuff just to try and get a kill? The point is, you know he doesn't want to shoot you and your pretty much going to lose all your stuff because your being stupid Let me repeat I've told people to drop their weapons and I won't kill them, of the ones that tried to turn around ALL have failed to get off a single shot at me If you want to be stupid and try and kill the go ahead, I'm not Saying you won't kill them, but your most likely just going to die and lose everything You know what a lot of people say on here: If you died it's because you made a mistake, and not knowing when to surrender and retreat from a fight you can't possibly win is the biggest mistake you will ever make

Really why are you so bothered? It can be done with a grenade You can jump off buildings Deliberately get hit and bleed and wait for death It's just a quicker and much cooler way to die I have pressed respawn when I've had broken legs from a zombie in the middle of no where before, are you telling me this has never happened to you before? Now imagine respawn wasn't avaliable, now you have to spend 1-2 hours crawling for a zombie to kill you, which lets face it, unless your lost in the woods at night, have no friends to save you and have top end gear, even the you might consider suicide to start again Even now people just run to the coast, suicide and come back, so what exactly is the problem with expanding on what people do anyway

Me and a friend discover that the server we have joined allows us to commit suicide After testing it out, I decide to find someone else and try something funny

Groups like mine make it out number 1 priority to kill bandits and hunt them If more groups emerges that were willing to make a stand we might see some difference After all it's OUR sandbox world, it's up to us to make a change We shouldn't rely on such systems as I've seen many fake heroes and many bandits who were friendly, most of the time it's survivor skins that shoot at me So with or without the skins it would be the same,

Berezino is my home, I find it to be my personal favourite city for all the reasons you mentioned :) It's never failed to yield good loot, it's the one place if find antibiotics if I needed them, everyone ignores the doorways to houses there and last time I came away with 2 boxes of them

It's kinda funny because just the other day I was looking for a vanilla server and found one claiming this It said in the description that it was " vanilla" dayz with a few small additions Those small additions were self bloodbag, weapon crates everywhere, extra buildings, 10 verchiles for everyone, donator gear ( including a script that donators get a heli spawn near them when spawning at the coast) and also started with an Ak Kobra and full tool belt as well as 6 cooked meat This disgusts me

Haha yeah, thanks for linking it here.............I think making it so you cant loot your own corpse could add to the game a lot, maybe not such a long time, but 1 hour would still be a long time as you have to bear in mind server restarts removing the corpses. But to be honest if I couldn't loot my own corpse I would value my life a lot more in game

I can see how this would be good, perhaps not instant relog. But maybe say 10 mins for normal death (which remember would mean someone would have a better chance at finding your body) or 5 minutes for suicide. But in order to make sure people actually sit there and wait, you have to click on "continue" every 30 seconds to load into the game, just a thought. It might seem annoying, but then again...........value your life
