No, i mean ive never seen any of these groups in-game... not that i want to join them, just that ive never seen them ever. Largest group ive seen so far was 2 people, both new survivors (one with winchester one with pistol).

Actually I've been killed in many random areas including the woods' date=' at my damn spawn point, and most recently me and some friends went into a store when some bandits server hopped in and shot my team-mates in the face. I got lucky and was only unconscious so i managed to get up and kill the bandits while they were occupied killing my team-mates. [b']the PvP is excessive in DayZ mainly because there's no repercussions. Just like there would be no real repercussions to killing someone in a post apocalyptic zombie infestation (well, except alerting zombies, but thats already in the game). As for those bandits that "server hopped" in and shot your friends, i doubt they "server hopped" into that store knowing you were there. They most likely just logged out in that store and when they spawned you guys were right infront of them. Id shoot first if that was the case too...

You DO know that zombies only spawn if players are nearby right? So "upping" the count to 1200 instead of 600 "for 225km^2" wont make a lick of difference... Right now its about 10-20 zombies per player when you look at the servers (50 players and about 700-800 zombies usually when i play, and you have to take into account that not all players are somewhere where zombies spawn). You could increase the number of zeds to 5000 and it wouldnt make a difference. They still wouldnt spawn for someone hiding on the top of a hill trying to snipe other players.

Why are there no fat survivors??? oh, right... cant run :/

Youre awesome pro-ness would have incapacitated him as soon as you were within 100 meters by sheer awesomeness right? cmn man' date=' be honest, look at the video and tell me you think they dont suck at cqb??? come one, seriously... [/quote'] cqb with a winchester in the ArmA2 netcode? yeah, id be behaving more or less the same... This isnt COD or BF3, just running in gunz blazing wont work well (especially not if you have relatively slow firing guns like the winchester or revolver).

Where are all these amazing teamworkig people with guns, cars and helicopters? all ive seen is dinky survivors with crap gear and no clue where theyre going or lone bandits with sniper rifles trying to shoot aforementioned survivors. (and yes, ive been far north and still nothing)

I just gots me a winny ta shoot all dem zeds wit... But i have to say that i believe that old internet saying of "pic or it didnt happen" applies very well to this thead. I only believe the ones that have pics of their gear here...

Chewie? is that you?

I would have sprinted out, turned around and killed him... most of the time when they are sitting and aiming at a door like that they are in ironsights mode so sprinting just confuses them if theyre close. Killed a few bandits like that when leaving a building (knowing they were there of course, if i dont know theyre there, i usually die :P )

Yup, i looted the Berezhino hospital this morning, and no antibiotics in any of the 10 boxes of medical supplies...

And sometimes, just sometimes, its just because all 50 players are cowering in woods somewhere and not spawning any zombies at all :P (but mostly its bugged yeah)

And dont we just love him (and others like him) for it? Dont forget to thank him for his stuff when you shoot him in the back of the head later :P

Killing people for their guillie suits is dumber than dumb. You cant take outfits(skins) off dead players. You can only take what is in their inventory and whatever skin they are wearing at the moment, wont be in the inventory. Of course, you could still kill them out of pure jealousy, but then youre just proving what a child you are :P

That, and a much slower respawn rate coupled with larger numbers would be perfedt. As it stands, i can run into a town and shoot all the zombies and then before i can even loot a single house, new ones will spawn right outside... It just doesnt make any sense. More zombies, but slower respawns would be perfect.

Dont forget that the total number of zombies is dependant on the players. Ive been on servers with 50 players and only 50 zombies because only one player was near any kind of structures. They spawn when you get within a certain distance of populated areas (or any area with a structure) and they dissapear when you leave. And dont forget that if 10 of those players are all in cherno or elektro, they wont spawn MORE zombies, they will be sharing the zombies of those cities so to speak...

Right, i see alot of comments in the way of "but you have 10 flares, use them" or "pick up a flashlight, theyre everywhere"... But those are just suggestions on how to cope with the night darkness in the shape it is in now. Which is unrealisticly dark. This game is supposedly trying to be realistic and this darkness is not realistic (despite the claims of some finn a few posts above me). Ive been out in the swedish mountainranges far to the north more than one summer night. Ive been out during clear moonless nights, Full moon nights, and clouded rainy nights. And only on the most clouded and rainy night during the darkest hours was it ever this dark. And even then i could make out where i was putting my feet if i just concentrated on it and went slowly. But in this game its as dark as the background on this site when you look at the ground. Even on a starlit night. And thats just wrong.

Just to clear this up: I was kneeling, not lying prone. I was not visible in any way to be shot from outside the shop (no small openings in the shelves in the shop or anything like that) I did not alt-tab (although i do so regularly without dying) Fell down, got the hourglass of death and then died and went to the "you are dead" screen within less than 2 seconds (total) Still have no clue what killed me.

Like i said, i didnt go straight to the "you are dead" screen, i fell down backwards so i could see the only direction anyone could have come at me, and then i died. So nobody snuck up on me (theyd have to be within 3 meters to see me). @DeadLeaves: i wasnt moving at all, had just finished looting and was taking a second to think about where to go next, so i was sitting still.

My guess on how they look is that they'll look like the pouches that you find makarov mags and smoke grenades in...
