I'm going to keep it short, long winded posts are boring. I think its naive for all of us to assume that ALL players are getting so mad at dying they come on here to complain, of course it sucks to die but it really isn't all that bad. You can get most to all of your shit back within a few hours if you have any experience at all. What I really think is making players furious is the lack of a adventure. We've all (especially the veterans) have had amazing experiences with completely random players that where so awesome in fact we fell in love with the game right then and posted about it on the forums. Now yes some people do choose to attack players and run lone wolf banditry style, and that is 100% fine. For the most part you guys are in the minority and congratulations you have been releasing chaos like wildfire. This minority of lonewolf players added onto the fact that bandit skins have been removed (Which I wanted to happen before the flaming begins) have made people incredibly paranoid at the sight of anyone. This makes people group up and become even more violent and protective of their group mates because to them its this 'us vs the world' mentality. What these 'carebears' really want from the game is a completely random experience involving other or another player that is unique just to them. To further back my reasoning read any story in the forums and notice how up until recently only a few of them involved friends / clan mates. What do you think?

I read all of the post in here and first I'd like to thank everyone for the maturity thats being displayed I was expecting a lot less of a conversation and more trolling in here that's why I just ignored the topic after I made it. I'll just reply to a few of the posts that stuck out to me. I agree 99.9%, some players come in expecting fun to be instantly dropped into their lap and get frustrated with the consequences of trying to be friendly. Usually it comes in the shape of a bullet. I remember every single experience I've had with friendly players as well for this exact reason, thanks for pointing it out. Its really rare for the likes of this to happen, be it someone saving your life and a small journey ensuing or something even crazier like being dragged a good five minutes to safety by a complete stranger (Actual experience). Now I agree this really does take away from the game, sometimes its the only way new people can get immediate gratification with the game. The chat in game was removed to make it a really personal experience using Mic's and going at it with a complete stranger in game. =D some people have played this game for long periods of times each day! These are veterans, people that got a good 600 hours under their belt. Gear doesn't matter just experience. Overall I was just pointing out the reason I think new players can't seem to enjoy the game and seeing these posts I just gotta say one thing to these players that are thinking about quitting because of this, keep playing the game. You'll eventually start seeing completely random amazing experiences that are just your story like all the good ones you read on the forums. Bugs and Hacks aside that is. Time to get back to my studying.

While I may agree the community is crap I wouldn't let it embarrass me. The only people here that should be embarrassed are the self entitled idiots that roam these forums. That is not our problem as individuals though and more of a flaw of character, let them deal with it and their misery. As for us? We'll keep having fun with the game and life.

Welcome TC to the forums, where any post that isn't directly sucking the dev's **** is responded with 'Carebear CODKid noob go play somethangelse'. Don't try to make suggestions, it hurts peoples feelings of stability and the snipers will come in force to protect their right to shoot at you from a mile away while safely cowering under their bush. Any change to this way to play will 'ruin' the game (true but just for them) and make DayZ 'stupid'. :D Enjoy your stay!

Hey TC this topic has been done before. 1. Be more original. 2. You are not that good, get over yourself.

Doesn't matter if the trade is unfair or not. What really matters is how the idiot TC thinks a guy with a MK48 is going to willingly walk into the sight of '4' snipers to trade for a inferior weapon. Really? REALLY?! What kind of a idiot would do this shit.

Shut up

Thats awesome, the postal office is still alive and kicking during a zombie apocalypse.

I'd totally stab people with a Katana if it was in DayZ. I'd scream quotes from the anime too.

No he didn't if he did he would have been in shock for much longer.

The only good part of the video was that guy football rushing your ass kamikaze style. That shit was hilarious it would have been better if he actually killed you, ultimate revenge style. Nice grenade chuck though I'll give you that. PS. I thumbs down cause Mugen is your name, and in Samurai Champloo he is a total bad ass you good sir aint as cool. (Personal preference I don't like ghillie suit sniper toting cowards)

I seen a very very unread post on PCGAmer about it LONG ago. Then they made another post talking about it and showing the popular CHKilroy videos. After watching a few of the videos I just had to get into it. My friend who plays everything with me is being a pussy about it and playing Diablo though, hes being a tool.

Don't help them, let them suffer to learn. LET THEM SUFFER! PS. Your chubby aintcha Nom Nom :D

Hackers, the bane of good games. Fuck em all to hell. Fuck their mothers, fuck their grandmothers, fuck their grandfathers for spurning the seed into their grandmothers that eventually created them I vow If I ever control the world my first law will be to make Hacking in a game (cheating in a sport same thing) a offense punishable by the way the hackers killed the player in the game. If they pick someone up and throw them from 400 feet in the air, the Hacker will be flown up in a helicopter and thrown 400 feet to the ground. If a plane falls on a player, I will make a plane fall on the hacker, if he shoots someone through a wall I will have him shot through a wall. If he shoves a kitten down the throat of a player, I will shove a kitten down his throat and watch him die. Vote LTSlugg 2012 (Cause america owns the world right?)

The fact that you think full time gamers live in their parents house says a lot about your state of mind. There are plenty of gamers that live normal lives work full time jobs and have a social life. DayZ requires time commitment, everyone that plays this game knows that. If it didn't the game would track Hours alive not Days alive. If you don't have the time to play for a hour or two straight then DayZ isn't something you want to play right then, boot up something else fun simple that'll fill the void. If you are going to play DayZ you know you need time to spare because lets face it, this shit aint a quicky. DCing after fighting someone because you got shit to do is less then likely. People DC out of fear of death right then. We can all agree that before we DC in DayZ we set up a simple objective before doing so. Example of someone getting ready to DC: 1. I'm gonna finish raiding this town head into the woods and DC for the night. 2. I'm gonna make it over this treeline to Berezino and DC in the safest spot. Example of someone DCing out of fear: 1. Oh fuck TIME TO CALL IT QUITS! 2/. Oh fuck I might die! Time to call it quits! People that do the latter often spawn in in dangerous places and most likely die either immediately after getting back on, why? Because they DCed in the heat of things and people usually DC like that in a high traffic area. TL;DR - I'm drunk, canadian whiskey is the best.

Recent person I ran into screamed friendly, he was holed up in a house. He was telling me he was looking for food and didn't want any trouble, I respected that. I dropped a can of baked beans outside and told him I left a can of food out here I was gonna keep moving not to worry I wasn't interested in killing him. I ran a good five minutes away turned back and watched him come out and eat the food I left him through my binoculars, not a sniper like most players would have done. I felt pretty damn good about myself. Pretty much how I been trying to keep it going, whenever me or friends run into a group of people or a lone wolf at close enough range I say friendly, don't want any trouble and try to move on. I never let them out of my sights until I know I'm safe though. Its a dog eat dog world, even if YOU aint looking for trouble doesn't mean some people just love to start it. Friendly is just a word now, it has no meaning anymore. You gotta be more specific as quick as you can, not turn your back to them and find the best cover from their point of view possible.

I think this topic might have made US128 extremely popular, i'll be playing there sooner or later now seems like a good server.

Very few useful posts out there. Good job TC.

NOM NOM NOM EDRAMA AND SAD KIDS I LOVE IT TC And Company you guys rock. DeathSquad and company, you are a sad bunch. Obviously you are butt hurt about it if you had to come on the forums to defend your 'names' and 'honor'. Even funnier is you admit a 'friend' called one of their houses and claim he didn't have shit to do with the events that happened in game. Either you got so mad you tried to call them to put 'fear' into their hearts or you were so mad you told your 'friend' to do it. PS. If I tell any of my friends a story about me getting betrayed in a online video game they wouldn't go and stalk the guy that did it for me even if they were in the call, figure out his number and go as far as to CALL their house. Really? Erase your posts and change your name you tool.

People are gonna come in here screaming that the 'Suggestions Server' is that-a-way. As for the pussies that DC, rockets working on that issue. The best part is that a bunch of the pussies that DC are the same ones that call people carebears for getting mad at dying. Then there are the truly hardcore players, few of you guys still around here. Taking it like men and shaking your heads in shame.
