lol - trying to pawn your evil spirits off on us. Nice try, buddy!

A lot of people have been spawning on the coast for no apparent reason. The only thing we can do is wait for Rocket's word on this. I myself was up at the NWAF. Decided I would log out right on the edge, and hit it up tomorrow (it was pretty late, I wanted to be at the top of my game). This morning, when I logged in, I was on the coast way up in the NE. Luckily, I still had all my gear. Still, I'm not going to spend time getting anywhere until I know that I'm not going to just be sent back to the coast. Again, We're just going to have to see what Rocket is planning to do to fix this. Edit: Oh, and what the heck is up with that bot above me? Mods, can we get a ban on him please?

I had one on as well. My first one I have ever acquired, actually.

The last time I got into the game, I got randomly spawned on the coast (from my last position, NWAF). Now, I can't get past the loading screen. Something weird is happening with the DayZ servers...

A few days ago, I found a new character hiding in a factory. He told me that he was still figuring out the controls. I gave him my axe, some painkillers, and some bandages. Helped him through the gear menu - how to pick it up and use it. Then, I was on my way. Yesterday, I started a new character (spawned in Electro). I turned a corner deep into the city, and right in front of me was this decked out character. We stared at each other for a bit (I was unarmed) and then he asked me if I wanted his axe. I said sure, he dropped it, and then, by the time I looked up from the ground taking it, he was gone. It wasn't much, but because of that axe, I cleared out some zombies around a corpse that had everything you could imagine (ghille suit, nvgs, rangefinder, all other equipment, sniper rifle with ammo, Coyote Backpack, etc.) Friendlies are out there, they are just harder to find. When you do find them though, it is a really great feeling. Don't stop looking for them!

If this is a new feature, it need to be immediately removed. I don't have one specific server that is "mine." I log into DayZ, look at the server list, pick whatever one looks best, play for a couple of hours, log out, and repeat. Sometimes it takes multiple tries to find a good server. It is laggy, or it just doesn't load or whatever, and I have to try again to find a good server. Does the game pick this up as server jumping? Because if it does, that is bullsh#t! Yesterday, I logged out at the NE Air Field. When I logged back in, I was at the coast. I'm not leaving to get away from attackers, then joining again to get the jump on them. I'm not trying to loot spots multiple times. Every time I start up DayZ, it takes me multiple tries to get into a good server. So, again - If this is a new feature, it needs to be immediately removed. I should not be penalized for just trying to play the game.

Yesterday, I logged out @ the NWAF (in the woods near the barracks) and when I logged back in, I spawned on the coast (with all of my items) and then, when I logged out/in again, I spawned on a completely different part of the coast.

There is, of course the legend of The Mountain. That is not just an urban legend, though... I've already said too much...

Yes, please! In towns, I try to be as sneaky as I can, but as soon as a zombie spots me, I have find an open building, run into it, drop my gun, take out my hatchet, reload, kill the Zed, Add hatchet to toolbelt, and then pick up my gun again. It would be so much easier to just maybe use scroll, click bayonet, kill zombie, scroll back to gun.

Dude, don't even think about that sh#t! Keep those thoughts to yourself :( ...

This is the only time where it is acceptable to, if you have quick enough reflexes, hit Alt+f4 to get out before your status is saved. It is not cheating to use this to escape hackers. Any other time, it is just a real douchy move...

Well, you can torrent it, but you can't go online, can't play with friends, updates are a bitch, the whole interface is buggy as hell, and 9 times out of 10, the game doesn't save your equipment. To make a long story short, just wait for another steam sale, and buy it (I got it for like $8).

Wait, is that how it is? I've been playing DayZ for a while, now, and yet, I have never reached the edge of the map. I got super close up in the North East, but I decided to head back south. Does all vegetation end, and it is just blank black space?

So I'm guessing that, with Bohemia Interactive developing this, it is going to be on the Arma 2 or 3 engine? I'm just wondering because there has been a bit of speculation lately over, if DayZ was standalone, would it use its own, customized engine.

How I feel about Alt-F4ers who use it for anything other than escaping hackers:

What don't you get? He's obviously a bird...

If you want to make sure that your weapon is safe, drop it on solid ground, take out your hatchet, kill what you need to kill, then put it back in your toolbelt, and pick your rifle back up.

Hey guys, if anyone is in the general are of the NW Airfield, I could really use some help. Something glitched out, and I lost a lot of blood. If someone can bring a blood bag and perform a transfusion, I would be ever grateful (and I would happily part with my Morphine auto-injector and/or my epi-pen so that you can help more people). If you are in the general area of the NW Airfield and you're willing to help, please hit me up with a PM, or contact me through my Steam Profile (Id: xpandahunterx). I'll be on all night, so if you can help, I can log on right away. I've not gotten help through this thread before and I am a little wary, but this thread is the only shot I've got at surviving. Thanks guys

This may be a bit lengthy, but I promise it is worth a read. Just hear me out. I know that it's a cool thing around here to tell people who say that the game is too hard and what not to "go back 2 cod lolz."If DayZ was ever made into a stand alone game, would you be open to a single player experience (eventually) being included? I'm not talking about making the game any easier than it is now, or changing anything that is currently in place. Multiplayer (the real DayZ experience) would remain untouched. What I'm talking about is an "intro" of sorts. One for new players trying to jump into DayZ, and experienced players who want to learn more about the lore. Now this is not going to be perfect, just a suggestion for what the campaign could be like that I am coming up with in my head while I write it. The general Idea is that you are a part of a military squad who is responding to a terrorist threat (someone says they will destroy something). You are led to believe that it is a nuke. YadaYadaYada, chase some leads, a couple of dead ends. You know that the main terrorist and the bomb are somewhere in Chernorus. You and your squad go on various missions across the map (for new players, learning the ins and outs of gameplay). You finally get a definite location on the main facility and you call in reinforcements (anyone see where I'm going with this?) Everyone breaches the facility, but the main bad guy has escaped, and you learn that It isn't a nuke he plans to attack with, it's a biological weapon. To make a long story short, your squad (and all the reinforcements) try to stop him, but he unleashes it on the population. It is the zombie virus. With the native population turning and attacking the squads, the order is given to retreat. Everyone gets back to the coast and loads into the boat, leaving Chernorus behind. You learn that the terrorist is on the boat impersonating an officer (trying to get away from the bioweapon, which had unexpected results). You find him, big battle (many of the military are working for him, that's why you always seemed one step behind) it's chaos, everyone is fighting everyone. You find the terrorist, and kill him. Someone sets off an explosive, and the boat starts going down. You drag yourself onto the beach with a group of zombies approaching in the distance, cut to black, credits roll. When credits end, it brings you to server logs. Now, go to multiplayer, where you and the rest of the survivors from the boat have to survive in Chernorus. Some were loyal to the bad guy, some were loyal to you. Who can you trust? Who will stab you in the back? Scavenge, hide, find allies if you can. Kill if you must. Survive. So what do you guys think? You like it? Obviously the story is a bit sloppy and cookie-cutter generic. Give me a break, I thought it up in five minutes. This obviously wouldn't be the real campaign, but it should give you an idea what I'm talking about. Without changing the existing game at all, this would give the entire thing a bit more meaning and purpose. Put things into context. Also, it would allow new players to get to learn how to play, not by looking at control schemes, but by actually playing the game. Rocket has talked about adding endgame content eventually. Wouldn't a little optional story at the beginning make a little story at the end make more sense? Thanks for reading, and I would love some feedback.

(Posting again for steam id) I logged out just outside the NW Airfield, and when I spawned, I was loosing blood (and I didn't realize this for a few minutes). I wasn't loosing blood when I logged out, so I think the game glitched or something. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. I'm in the left-most hangar in the NW Airfield. I know that it is a very dangerous area, so I understand if you don't want to come. I might be able to come to you a bit, but I keep passing out. I don't know how far i'll get. The only medical supplies I have are two morphine injectors, and an epi-pen (They're yours if you want them to help others). I just need to be able to get back in the woods - I'll hunt and heal myself from there. I need a transfusion badly. If anyone is in the area, please pm me or contact me on steam (id: xpandahunterx) Thanks

Arguing over which is a better game, one that is in Alpha Testing, and one that is, as of now, just a few screenshots, is a pointless exercise. When Both of them release fully, I'll probably play them both, and then (and only then) will I decide which one I like better.
