I was alive for 4 days now which is the longest term i ever managed to live so far. I raided the NWAF, killed some dirty Bandits and had my M16A3 with ACOG sights plus a PDW for my own defense. After i successfully raided the Airfield i decided to go south again. When i finally arrived in the northern woods of cherno my friend died and i told him i'd pick him up at the balota airstrip. As i was running through the woods i spotted a survivor next to me and almost shot him but then realized that he was no harm to me 'cause he only had a hatched. When he spotted me he immedeatly jumped behind a tree trying to hide from me. After i told him that i wouldn't hurt him he still wasn't moving so i went behind the tree to look after him. He was still there not moving at all. Checking his backpack i decided to give him my PDW so he could survive in this cold-hearted world. Just as i tried to give him my sidearm i suddenly was laying on the ground, bone broken, bleeding like shit and without consciousness. I checked my blood and saw it at -11.000. I didn't hear any shots and i'm sure it wasn't the survivor who killed me as he wasn't even looking at me. I still have no idea why i died i only hope that the unknown survivor who i died trying to help lives and manages to survive with the gear he propably looted from my dead body.
you seem to have no luck, eh? i've been playing dayz since a couple of weeks and yes i got shot. several times. so what? it makes it much more interesting and lets be honest, who dies because of zombies?! starting with no weapon is one of the best things they could have added 'cause YES there actually are people who love sneaking into cities to get their stuff. if we had a weapon as we spawn where would be the challenge? even if it's hard i can somehow respect your opinion but.. you're a minority so don't expect anything to change because most of us are happy about the way things are going in this mod plus rocket said often enough that he will not erase the pvp part. oh and by the way.. i'm pretty well geared but i don't kill on sight but observe them and sometime maybe help'em if there is any need and i'm pretty sure that i am not the only one
