*Regulator* Insaner

Well yesterday night(more like late dusk but w/e) I heard gunshots near the town of Pusta, made my way to it in the darkness and from nowhere I had the attacked survivor running in front of me screaming over voice: "don't kill me, don't kill me...Ffs not again" Since I wasn't sure if he was bleeding or nothing I held back for just a bit, whilst tracking him by sound alone. Suddenly I had the bandit passing by, following the survivor to finish it of but he aggro'ed several zombies he wasn't able to dispatch. In the meanwhile I was still following the bandit and survivor in a flanking move and I noticed one pair of footsteps stopped. It had to be the survivor as i heard the bandit with his zombies move further and further away. Then it happened, I heard a shuffling noise...I was right next to the survivor without knowing it, he was just next to me separated by a wooden fence(I realised this after we talked) I tried to communicate with him, he didn't respond immediatly...tried again, telling him its okay,I'm friendly and willing to help him on his feet with a bandage,food and possibly if needed a transfusion. Then I heard him answer my call, we met up, I took care of him and gave him a Makarov with 2 full clips, some consumables and a spare bandage I had on me. The kid was just 16 years old he said and was playing for over a week, never being able to survive for longer then 2-3 hours. He thanked me for helping out and went on his way...sprinting on the roads of Pusta...5 minutes later I saw it, 'TommyPwnzya was killed'. Either attracted zombies or got killed by another player. I couldn't help but laugh out loud... Allthough trying to help out, he just suicided by being as loud as possible. Over the course of 2 hours I saw him get killed over 8 times. Then it hit me, I did something good, but he remained as reckless as he allways was I presume, eventhough he had a better chance of survival with a sidearm, food and drinks. But either way, it felt atually good to help out for a change, instead of my usual reaction as to kill the survivor and the bandit when I could get a good shot. Good travels Tommypwnzya

Allrighty Oldtribe I'll be wearing that [Regulator] tag from now on. If anyone is willing to gang up or is looking for a real friendly you'll find me on either BE1 or DE103.

Seen from the real PK'er its a nice kill rate allthough knowing the time alive would've been nice. As to how you obtained the kills(spawnkills are most likely to be the vast majority) thats unknown. However I still prefer 200 zombie kills with an average of 100 headshots or whatever. Just a shame of that thread title and the link followed by 'gg'. Thats just epeen being still epeen. Doesn't even deserve the lid from my can of beans.

Imo they should make it so that on Alt+F4 your character is wiped. And so should respawn spam be handled. The only real possibility to leave game is trough the exit button. Or possibly Ctrl+ALT+Delete, to terminate through Taskmanager(in case of game freezes), wich takes way longer. In fact I still firmly believe that there should be an in combat tracker, something like certain mmo's. Once engaged by anyone, or if you engage anyone, you enter a state of combat wich would not allow you to leave the server/game until you are out of combat, be it via death or victory. This is supposed to offer a hardcore survival experience, so the fear of actual death is always the 'drive' one needs to get real playing this game.

After reading the original thread made by you Oldtribe, I couldn't help but smile. The idea alone is something that suits me and appeals to me, however I do agree with the people asking to do this on a certain server as it would be easier to get 1 server 'safer' then spread over maybe 5 servers. But I do have a few questions though, being: 1. What will the TAG be? 2. Whats policy towards people who try to KoS(and perhaps kill one of ours) but are in fact just scared players that felt threatened and shot as mere protection? 3. How do we handle whole gangs of bandits paying us a visit? I can imagine a 'safe®' haven, be like honey to bears in terms of certain bandits just looking to come and stir things up and/or possibly destroy entire camps trough the means of ghosting. Should we ride out to their servers(if we could determine it) in a true posse style to go and serve justice? 4. Is there a website somewhere(like a Enjin one or something else)? 5. Would there be voicecom avaiable, because coordinating a thing as this does require voicecom.(as I have a personal TS3, but I have only 2 or 3 slots left) Regards Insaner

Just be sure to gather around tomorrow to amuse us with the part how you got axe'd in the back xD No kidding, happened to me yesterday with my M4SD and PDW with full clips ready for a hunt up north... Motorhead tunes jingling combined with a dusk...nasty :D

I keep on encountering a few small encampments 500-700 metres away from the NW hospital of Cherno. The only reason I don't loot it is because I think its a small storage for a medic group.

Tell me your exact location and server.Then go afk for 2 minutes.I'll come relieve you of gear so you can have another great adventure like that :D Sounds like a deal yeah? Just kidding mate and I enjoyed the story, thats the things that make DayZ one of a kind imo.

Has to be me and my buddy on his first session of DayZ. He's all happy cuz I'd given him a M4SD with 4 clips and all needed gear. After just 20 minutes he jumps up and screams: "death to survivors" and he runs towards Cherno. Eventually he sees somebody and starts shooting like mad. Then it happened... I was still behind him laughing and looking at his frantic attempt to kill the other survivor when our screens went black and all of a sudden we hear a heck of gunshots. Debugforest filled to the brim with all 47 survivors facing eachother... He actually deinstalled his game after that. And then there was me...maybe in the first week of playing DayZ, finding a weapon cache on Pik Kozlova containing a DMR with 8 clips (btw sorry to the actual owner or w/e because an hour later the caches were gone) and me going into a pure 'Enemy at the Gates' moment thinking I'll clean out the server with that sniper. I see an island not far from the mountain so I make my descent. Then I started to swim...I get to shore and see a zed nearby, pull out my gun and... Nothing... my whole pack was empty... I google it and see thats something that happens... Swimming back I see the gear in the water, just laughing in my face...that day I actually died in the water due to starvation looking at my lost 5 minutes of pride.

Just on a side note, I'm currently playing on either BE1, DE103 or UK31.

They are a few times reffered to directly as Zombies in Dawn of the Dead(1978) by Peter? But its true that most zombie flicks and/or books reffer to them as something else or 'ghouls'. Allthough 'ghouls' is a term more from the stories from the '50 and '60's if I'm not mistaken.

Teh call me a hipster :)And I didn't presented an idea as I said before. Read that last sentence again, then you would see I conclude my post with: 'So then you might say one has to make something of a level/gear restrain to areas, but that ruins the very core of the game, being a vast open dangerous world.' And further more : 'Besides saying that Zeds are just a hassel to deal with once you get weapons might be true, but increasing the power of Zeds from example 'zone to zone' or town to town isn't something that might be beneficial as new players have to tend to stay in the socalled more lowbie zones and are such a very easy target to high geared players(wich is allready the case). If I caused any doubt about the meaning of my words I'll apologize beforehand, for not stating clear enough, as I'm not here to debate but to enjoy some banter with fellow players.

Hold the anger and read it through again please. As you can see everything in my post was purely hypothetical. And besides read the whole thing through before you try to base clever opinions. And the movies of Romero don't have running Zeds, Land of the Dead featured 1 Zed(that could fire the m16 or w/e, but he was able to grunt commands aswell) and neither does Dairy of the Dead, Survival of the Dead does have Zeds riding on horseback and shooting guns. The running Zombies are seen in the remakes of ' Of the Dead' series being Dawn of the dead from 2004 and Day of the Dead(2008 I think) Oh btw, I'm not angry at you at all, I'm just trying to make my point even more clear.

Nothing in the OP states that he wants rpg elements or L4D style zombies. Imo he wants to have either the archetype zombie, being slow rotting corpses that really attack viciously in big packs( just an example) or just the type of infected of lets say 28 days later. Either way I can relate to his comments but I also believe that other things need attending first. The definition of the AI enemy isn't really important at this time. Besides saying that Zeds are just a hassel to deal with once you get weapons might be true, but increasing the power of Zeds from example 'zone to zone' or town to town isn't something that might be beneficial as new players have to tend to stay in the socalled more lowbie zones and are such a very easy target to high geared players(wich is allready the case). So then you might say one has to make something of a level/gear restrain to areas, but that ruins the very core of the game, being a vast open dangerous world.

I'm allways in doubt when I have either a Winchester in my pack or an Enfield, when I find the other one... But there should be a scope for the Enfield, that could be found rarely or w/e. I always imagine the Enfield as the WW2 version with a scope, but then I take aim and see its just iron sights :P But then again that might shift weapon balance again and would require a whole new mechanic to combine items. Allthough being able to recombine ammo together to gain backspace would be swell, buts thats another topic.

Haha :D this actually made me laugh.
