    i really hope magazines for weapons like the sporter, makarov, p1, etc eventually get put into spawns other than military. i have a feeling the reason i never see anyone use weapons like these is because in order to have mags for them, you have to loot the hell out of areas where you'll just find an AKM instead. makes no sense to me..

    really I got a chuckle out of that was it because the bus was late. in real life I hear people threaten the bus driver when its late so I guess the simulator is pretty realistic.

     

    i built a bus exchange in front of a big mall, and I guess the guy i was playing with was halfway done a route that was supposed to carry those passengers. that is for real why he said he'd kill me  :lol:

     

    nice avatar btw, cowboy

    Yeah was happening all night last night for me, I died in a gun fight (I killed 2 my mate killed 2 and the third got him) I hit respawn and wait the 30 seconds only to see "You are dead" again, I hit respawn a good 3 or 4 times and every time I'm back at "you are dead" after 30 seconds.

     

    I leave the server join a new one and spawn under a bridge that I worked out to be just outside of Vybor just south of the North West Airfield with nothing, not even a shirt. After killing myself again to get a closer spawn to my mate  (he wasn't dead at this point) and the fact it's raining so hard I'm already shaking from being cold due to being naked I again then get stuck in the never-ending "you are dead" loop only to leave that server and find yet another just to spawn naked under the same bridge with nothing on again. This time it wasn't raining and my mate had been killed I decided to just loot up and run.

     

    dude, the exact same thing happened to me yesterday. I spawned outside of Vybor with nothing on (also didn't look like my default character). some guy found me and shot me and i ended up respawning on the coast, but it was weird.

    Almost died to the "Take falling damage in a two story building until you walk down stairs" Glitch. Fucking glitch cost me my pants, an AKM magazine and a new sewing kit. Left with a sliver of health and broken legs too. 

     

    we've been noticing lots of this too. fire station staircase, as well as the roof of the police station in elektro, are breaking people's legs (and ruining their pants/shoes) like it's going out of style

     

    that and the crashes are the only things that are annoying, but everything else is great. zombies actually feel less glitchy/shitty than they used to. never thought i'd see the day.

    My advice is to keep doing what you do, just take precautions. Keep your distance, don't give ammo right away and always pay attention to how people talk. Never just assume anything and stay frosty.

     

    how people talk / their tone is how we roll. we had a constantly changing group of people that we'd bump into, then lose for whatever reason (usually due to server crashes). however, if we bump into someone that seems off at all, we kill em.

     

    no betrayals yet and we've grouped with at least 14 diff people over the past few days now

    in the mod - some uber geared guy found me running around like an idiot and gave me an M249. i killed him with it and took all his stuff

     

    SA - gnarly melee over like nothing, one can of food or something. we'd both clearly only spawned in minutes before, i had a screwdriver and he had a wrench. SO MUCH BLOOD

    i like the sporter, but i have only found 1 since 0.49, and i've found 3 mosin, 5 shotguns, 4 SKS, 1 blaze

     

    anyone else find it's like the least common civilian gun? the one that i found wasn't even an original spawn, someone had traded it for a better gun (it was painted black)

    Not the point. Death threats is not ok anywhere!

     

    it kind of is the point. the problem doesn't lie within dayz, nor is anything going to come out of posting on the dayz forums. gamers needing an attitude adjustment as a group is a cultural change, so i'm feeling like the dayz forums are a bit too granular for getting that point across.

    I've noticed that for example when you're re-joining a server (60 seconds cool down) or spawning (30 seconds cool down) when you ALT TAB, the timer does not decrease. I like to ALT TAB because I hate staring at the timer, so I check my skype or my browser etc at that time. Anyone else facing this issue? Is this a new feature? I didn't read it on the changelog for 0.49

     

    By the way this happens since 0.49 also I faced this on experimental too.

     

    shift+tab, browse reddit in the steam web browser for a minute

    Hmm... Interesting. It's a good Idea. I might try this.

    How does a sawed-off shotgun compare to a sawed-off Mosin? 

     

    it is basically the trump card in CQC engagements. however, it's loud as hell, and going into your inventory to reload it after you fire your 2 shots is incredibly clunky

    Yes, people who kill on sight are absolutely terrible at DayZ.  They're not good enough or smart enough to assess the situation they're in and let it play out, so they simply end it.  This stems from being a weak individual, unable to cope with external pressures and anxieties and not being calm enough to quickly come up with a plan to engage the other player.  It's not like running behind a house or a tree or something, out of view of the player, and initiating conversation is really that hard...If you don't get a good feeling about him, leave him alone.  If he hears you and starts looking for you without speaking, kill him.  If he talks back, continue your assessment.  This is a very simple concept, but KOSers are just scared of interaction...They're scared of a video game, tey don't want to lose their precious gear and spend 20-30 minutes finding new stuff.  Why would they, they can't even be bothered to take 45 seconds to assess a player contact situation, why would they want to spend 20 whole minutes?  What it boils down to is trepidation, they don't know what they're doing or they're too scared to do it, they are the bottom of the barrell of DayZ players.  They are not bandits, they're just A-holes that are too scared to be real bandits.  People who kill fresh spawns are even worse, they're really THAT terrible that they kill people with ZERO gear...It's pathetic...DayZ is a very personal game, believe it or not.  It brings out peoples inner primal being and it shows up in their play.  The weaker individuals KOS, kill freshies and camp for hours waiting for someone to snipe from a mile away.  The stronger ones help people, are medics and hunt bandits and KOSers.  They have much more on their plate than some dude rolling around wating to spam left click and therefor are the superior player.

     

    tl;dr i got myself killed and i'm really mad about it

    how did you not know this?

    have you been asleep for the last month?

    sometimes u can lock them out more often than not. but the blonde and the grey/green check shirt zombies will hit you inside the house while being bugged through floor or still out side. yes they walk through the door

     

    the blonde zombie is my bane. i thought it was just coincidence

    typically after sighting someone, i will stalk them both to gauge how much of a threat they are, and to get a good opportunity to strike. if it's somewhere like NWAF where they are generally well armed i'll follow them into the treeline after they think they've gotten away.

     

    i've never really held someone up or robbed them, seems like a great way to get yourself shot to me.
