Just look away from the topic. It's too late for that poor bastard. Maybe you can save yourselves. To the OP: Whatever you do, when she asks, always agree. Don't conjecture or offer your own opinions, just nod or say 'yes.' I heard of a guy on a German server who lasted nearly three days that way. In the end, he went the same way as everyone else.

It's a mod. It's an alpha. You answered your own whine in your own post you dumbass moron. You've had it with the game? Who cares? Nobody. Not one damn person gives a crap. When you have to pay something to play the game, you will have the right to act like the douchebag that's bursting out from inside of you. Right now, you are god damn privileged to be playing something that someone invested so much time into, for the benefit of crying little scrotum rats like you.

Here's something more interesting that the sob story you posted (which sounds like pretty much a good early experience in DayZ so no idea why you're QQing): Imagine you got into the NW Airfield, looted it and found a pretty nice gun and 5 clips of ammo. Maybe a ghillie suit as well. What do you do then? Honestly, what? ......and then you realise that there's nothing else to do except hunt other players. And then when you realise that there's no skill or fun involved in that, you quit.

You feel emotions because you are overly engaged with it. I don't feel anything when I play it, because I understand that it's just a video game. If there is any fault with anyone in the situations you describe, then it's entirely with those who do not know how to limit how much they feel towards a virtual experience.

Please don't waste your feelings on being sad for me. Trust me, I have no interest in your 'sympathy.' Nor do I believe that you feel any actual sadness. Even if you did, then knowing what I do about how much you 'feel' for getting shot in a computer game, I really don't care at all. I am cool, and I am also brilliant. And you should stop playing video games because you do take them too seriously. That you can even begin to equate what someone does by clicking a mouse in a silly zombie game with real life proves this. No, actually you started it in a 'I believe in karma, and therefore if you do bad things to me then bad things will happen to you!' If you don't see how absurd and insulting that is, then get a grip. You actually believe that bad things might happen to people because they shot you in a video game. You are insane. I'd happily stand by everything I've said. You've managed to find no counter arguments whatsoever. You remain, to me and the rest of the community, an object of ridicule.

No, there's you and a bunch of other butthurt people. Nobody else is ever going to give two damns about how people act in an alpha for a computer game about zombies. I think that I see the problem you have: massive ego. You believe that not only is your game experience important, but that Day Z is somehow important. It's not. How you act in this game is no more important than people playing 'Orcs Must Die 2.' Aside from annoying people who don't want to lose at a game (and shouldn't be playing a competitive game, given their tender feelings) they do not. In fact, they just don't, at all. There is no real life impact unless you choose for there to be. Not kidding in the slightest. Fully understand it. Would gladly kill people in a post apocalypse zombie situation. Again however, here's the problem highlighted. You are feeling REAL EMOTION about what is, for me, a very casual, sit down and mess about for 30 minutes experience. For you, there is this great emotional journey because you are a) obsessed and B) cannot understand the difference between games and reality. For me, it's just a silly game about silly zombies, with other people running around to shoot. Which is what it should be to you. I'm afraid not. It makes me look smart. There is no research; there is no evidence; there is nothing to justify a belief in karma other than purely anecdotal nonsense. Nobody should respect stupid 'beliefs' just because someone else says that they have a 'belief.' You believe in it if it makes you happy, and I'll believe in the Loch Ness Monster for the same reason. That you think that this is somehow important or relevant reinforces the point that you take this way too seriously, think that playing the game matter or is impressive. Your 11 day old characters could easily just get headshot by a sniper that you never see at any given time. That they have not is just sheer dumb luck. You urgently need to detach yourself from the game (and maybe gaming as a whole) to realise that for the overwhelming majority there is no more emotional attachment to any action taken in this game than there is in Tetris. And anything more than that is just stupid.

Stupidest post I ever saw. You are meant to kill other players in Day Z. There's nothing else to do. There's even a constant reminder of how many people you've killed on your screen, all the time.

Dude, seriously, get a grip. 1) You are claiming that you act as you would in real life. I call BS. If 'real life' were like Day Z, you would loot until you found a hunting knife, some matches and an axe and then go and live in the woods, forever. YOU ARE WRONG: Making comparisons about real life and a computer game is STUPID. Why? BECAUSE IT ISN'T ANYTHING LIKE REAL LIFE. 2) You are making an assumption that killing other players is not an intentional part of the game, almost as though it's some kind of 'griefing side effect.' YOU ARE WRONG: You are intended to kill other players. it's programmed in, intentionally, so that you can do it. Someone who is killing other players is not doing it to annoy people or be an ass, they're doing it because they are playing the game. Killing players is the whole point of Day Z. There's even a constant reminder of how many murders and bandit kills you've scored, right there on the screen, all the time. There is no other content, since the zeds present about as much challenge as doing a poo. 3) If I saw you in the street, I would not rob you. If I was in a post apocalypse and saw a stranger with a gun, then I would kill him and steal his gun. You would try to help me, I would shoot you. 4) Talking about 'karma' makes you look silly, because there is no such thing. You may as well talk about magical flying washerwomen who give you candy and crap applesauce. Karma is just an idea someone once had with absolutely nothing to recommend it beyond that people like to imagine that it's real. 5) Anyone who gets genuinely upset when their character is killed in a computer game, or who is stupid enough to play a game with perma-death and then feel that their time was 'wasted' when they gets killed needs an urgent reassessment of their life priorities. It's all just a meaningless computer game. My best advice: Stop playing computer games or at the very least try to understand that they are not real, that they do not matter, that there is no such thing as achievement in them, and that nobody in the entire world other than you gives a crap about whether your had to start over because I shot you when you were looting an imaginary can of beans.

To everyone who thinks that somehow killing other players doesn't make you a pussy, I've never played a PvP game where the combat was more pussy based that Day Z. Shooting some random guy looking for sardines whilst cowering in a bush at 200m with a sniper rifle, wearing a ghillie to ensure that they really won't ever know you were there. A really exciting and manly combat experience.

Getting killed in Day Z rarely has anything to do with people being 'better.' It's almost entirely down to being lucky. You can never know when some random sniper is off sitting on a hill in the wilderness.

I've stopped playing because once you reach a certain level of game knowledge the following occurs: 1) Zombies stop have any relevance. You always either just run away from them into buildings to lose them, or you just have no need to go near them. 2) Loot is so easily acquired once zombies have no relevance that loots stops being interesting. 3) Loot is practically worthless, because the only thing to do in the game is kill other surivors, so you get a sniper rifle and go camp somewhere. 4) PvP Combat is extremely boring and repetitive. Either you see someone before they see you and kill them instantly, or the other way around, or more likely, either you or your victim never sees the one who shoots them. 5) Once you've got gear and a vehicle, someone in your squad asks 'So, what shall we do now?' There is no good answer to that question. The game is great fun when you're a noob. All my good memories on Day Z are from when I didn't know how to do stuff. As soon as you're any good at it, it stops being fun.

This was too funny so I had to share. I spawned in Elektro along the pier, and ran straight towards it, gearless. As I got there I see a guy with a handgun and a Lee Enfield on his back. Because I had nothing, I yelled out "I'm friendly, don't shoot I got nothing." Naturally, he opened fire. And boy was he a bad shot. At practically point blank range, he unloaded a clip and scored two body shots. Bleeding and with nothing to lose (having so far lived only about 1 minute) I ran up to him and began running in circles around him. I began to sing a tuneless song that went "You're so f***king bad at this game, you can't even shoot me, you're so bad at this game, you can't even hit me." The desperate bandit managed to reload, and then missed with 6 of his next 7 shots, and ran out of pistol ammo. However, that final one broke my legs and I fell on the ground. Dying, I continued to crawl around him. And then bizarrely, he started to crawl away from me, and I followed, singing. A message appeared: Open Patrol Pack. Oh, hell yes! I opened his pack, looted everything from it into my own backpack including all his food, soda, all his Lee Enfield ammo, and yelled "Thanks for all the stuff!" and then logged out. CHILDISH? MORONIC? AMAZINGLY FUNNY FOR ME BUT NOT HIM? ALL THESE THINGS. BANDITS REPRESENT EVEN WHILE DYING! Haters gonna hate but I'm still laughing. :D :D :D :D

1) When someone is logging in, there is usually about a 10 second window during which they are not truly logged in but where they appear in game. I get this despite an average ping of less than 20 and the fastest possible broadband speed available in the UK, so I suspect that it affects other players rather longer than it does me. Kill them during that time. So anyone who has logged in behind you has not just appeared by magic - if you would have looked where they logged then you'd find them. 2) Keep mobile, or else keep checking the back rooms of the building you're camping. 3) if you do camp a building, you'll hear movement on the floor boards. 4) If you go out 'hunting' other players without allies, you will almost always get killed. Without a guy to watch your back, you're a free kill to anyone coming from any direction that isn't where you're looking.

This is a terrible idea. I can run to the nearest zombie and just let it kill me instead. It's already bad that you can't choose your spawn location; solve the problem by letting players choose which location to spawn in. Since the coast is 100% safe, all spawning in a bad location means is that you have to waste a lot of time running to your friend. Unless the coast is going to be dangerous or fun in some way, this is a mechanic that will just waste people's time.

This news about the 'Alt+F4' fix is really disappointing. Effectively Rocket is saying that nothing will be put in place to prevent Alt+F4 to avoid death, only that if someone does it a lot that they will get perma-banned. So we will have to live with Alt+F4, because let's face it, people will push it as much as possible. This is probably the worst thing I could have read in this thread. It is the main thing harming Day Z at the moment. It must be stopped, not punished.
