I found a bike yesterday, then the server restarted. As soon as I logged in my clan mate rushed for the bike and stole it :( poor bikey.

I thought this thread was a joke, then people got all wtf serious on da internetz.

People are so quick to jump the gun. DEY WANTZ MAH LOOTS, I AM THE CENTER OF DAYZ!

That's the new punishment for server hopping to avoid the dark / other players.

It changes when you hit the F key, also when you change weapons or use tools. Don't blame your death on not having full auto, you didn't die because you were firing in semi, you died because you failed to kill the other guy before he killed you. Semi-Automatic is much more accurate, don't spray, take short accurate bursts. And yes, I know that's not the main point. But no it doesn't auto-switch unless you perform other actions.

That damn Canada, it's a blight on Europe!

It could be that it's not connected to the hive, or an exploiting player is in debug (the place where your character stands while logging in) shooting people. I was logging in once, mid-login I hear shooting then I see my name pop up as I have died, then it began loading and threw me on the beach. It happens.

Hackers can spawn any item they want, i'd say this guy spawned a bunch of supplies and a truck. You did the right thing by ignoring the gear, kudos to you sir.

Did you print this yourself or can we obtain these from somewhere, I want an A3 sized map!

It's a mixed bag for me. It really just depends on luck, sometimes I come across survivors who end up being friendly even when armed. Other times I log on to a server and it's like everyone is out to get everyone who so much as twitches. Both scenarios are a lot of fun, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Sick? Because they made two players fight each other? How can you relate these guys to Nazi's? The craziness of this forum is stupifying.

Who are you to say what people would and wouldn't do? I can see this being an issue in a real apocalypse, there are a lot of people that would love to go on a shooting spree in an apocalypse situation.. and there would be no respawn. Are you saying everyone in real life is nice and dandy, but everyone in DayZ is an ass? Be more naive.

Have more to say before you post, otherwise you are just cluttering up the forum with "Hey guys, I picked up some supplies, bye." Have a few paragraphs down at least :) Happy Banditry :)

What's going on in here? Anyone hear that noob up on the hill in his ghillie? I think I hear someone making the mating call of a noob. Why try be a medic and perform good deeds if all you are after is recognition? Come north and plaaay ;3

TLDR; More people whinging about a problem that doesn't exist. PvP/Bandits are fine, if anything there's just minor tweaking to be done and some holes to fix. A sniper on the hill or being killed as an unarmed player are just part of the game, and a real danger for everyone. Anyone here watch The Road? Do you think those cannibals would have said, "these guys are unarmed, we can't eat them!". Honestly, I wish all these complainers who think bandits are a bad point of this mod would just shuffle on to another game (I won't throw in the stereotypical remark here). If you don't like how punishing this game is, don't play it. Some of us don't mind being shot while unarmed, because at the end of the day, you decided where to go, your decisions led up to you being in that spot at that moment. However helpless you are, run straight to Cherno and you're gonna have a bad time. Also note, I realize you made other points in this thread. Just saying, bandits shouldn't be restricted on how they play, just as much as survivors shouldn't be.

Apparently (and take this with a grain of salt) Rocket has stated a fix will be implemented next patch. Rocket has stated that alt+f4'ing is definitely considered an exploit and against the rules (obviously).

Hey guys, me again. I have sourced out some more videos from the depths of YouTube and picked out a few favourites for a new article. My last compilation covered the various scenarios that survivors find themselves in while travelling Chernarus ( http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5417/dayz-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-survivor ). This time, I talk about the situations that a bandit puts themselves in, different types of banditry etc. http://www.mmogames....ife-of-a-bandit As always, if you know of a video that you think would be interesting to other players and non-players, reply with a link below. All videos are embedded from their original channel, so if you have a nice video that just isn't getting any views, send it through and I may put it in a future article.

Wish I could give more beans, a great test video. You definitely need to make more, either 10-20 minute long episodes for a series or a full feature length movie (maybe 40-60 mins). Something with a story, some epic shots and more of your awesome work :)

Some nice sniping here, can't believe those guys ran straight pass you without even seeing. Especially the one that was practically on top of you. I have included the video in my latest compilation: http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5426/dayz-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-bandit

Epic video, included it in my latest compilation: http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5426/dayz-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-bandit

I know this video isn't yours OP, but thought i'd say I included it in my latest compilation: http://www.mmogames.com/gamenews/5426/dayz-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-bandit

It's hard being in 101, the amount of awesome and e-peen that rushes through your keyboard/mouse is almost unbearable at times for even the strongest mortal man. Bump.

They key part of the story was where you "thought" he was gone and decided to go outside. You made a mistake, you paid the ultimate price, try again. This mod is about surviving, not hoping everyone plays the way you want. I come across a lot of people who don't shoot on sight, I also come across those who do. Take the good with the bad.

Business as usual, move along. Was expecting you to pop out and scream in voice chat or something, that was kind of boring :(

This worked for me, ATI card with a 20-30 FPS increase. Can now run on high/veryhigh when previously I was on low/normal.
