NEVER...SURRENDER!!!!!!

Dafuq....just wasted 15mins of my life.

I agree with you on the butthurt admins, and hackusations. However... Its really fucking annoying getting killed. Especially when not participating in a hostile nor odd action. Example..went into a private server, dude had a chopper, asked him to pick me up, he did, 8 dudes, were parachuting outta the chopper, some guy is like "Get that m107" so I did, then they kill me. Mind you i came there with a hatchet only. Fucking scrubs. Then he tells me "I told you NOT to get it." so the admin of the server didnt care or whatever. I mean I was using my hatchet to clear wrecked chopper zeds, and then they cant ask me nicely to drop the fucking thing? For once I would love to play on a server where everyone isnt eating Cunt'n Crunch.™(TM BABY!)

Amazing looking. One question though, can we look forward to "larger" doors? They seem to look bigger from the SS but I am not sure. What I mean obviously is the fact that in any regular door in the mod you cant turn in while crouching etc.

lol dirty loot man. good stuff

Id just like to say of course the weapons(or should I say weepons ;p) in "DayZ" are people killers...it's a military sim. But I am not here to troll so let me also say that you are right, and so are others. Without a reason to team up(beside being stronger in numbers...or a bigger target) people wont. Let's be real. The only threat zombies pose in this game is to a fresh spawn. It is super easy to avoid zombies, even after aggro'ing 10+, by running through dense brush and houses. Once the standalone comes out I have faith that Rocket and co will alleviate the mindless PvP via objectives. Of course people will still PvP but hopefully it will cool off. I have a really hard time believing that even in a zombie apocalypse people would be so careless with other human life. Sure desperate people might, and dregs of previous civilized society would still be scummers, but the majority of people wouldn't kill a clearly uninfected human coming up on their base. I just really do not believe that. But that's real life and this is DayZ so yea. I played on a private hive the other day and while i got needlessly assassinated by a bandit, I also came across 3 survivors who did not kill me. We just were in the same area, looting, surviving and coexisting, much the way people due today. Never made much sense to me why someone would kill someone for a handful of bullets and a soda and beans, when an additional person means higher security(if you trust them), more capacity, and higher ability be it cover more ground, assistance in a sticky situation whatever. I think everyone(or most of us) can agree the PvP is SLIGHTLY out of control, slightly understandable, and slightly annoying. Can't wait for standalone!

You have to let it run out. I know it takes FOREVER...happened to me ones at the NWAF while being chased by zombies(I was unfairly trying to draw them away from a crashed chopper while my buddy tried to loot it) and was stuck in the garage near the tower. If its going THAT slow my guess is that it is caused by server lag. Try a different server, maybe an empty one...

You lose humanity when you kill people...period.

Beans add 200 blood. Cooked meat(Skinning animals with knife, using wood and matches to make a fire) returns 800 blood. It IS possible, but gets rather...redundant. Or you can be a mountain man that helps/hurts others. The choice is yours. DayZ is what YOU make of it to be honest.

Better chance of meeting someone in game. You also runt he risk of getting Judas'd by them too....so you decide.

NWAF? Never safe unless 1/50 in server.

You are so new to DayZ that haxerz wont really "affect" you. Just get in and have fun. Arma controls have somewhat of a learning curve to know "all of them" but as lon and you can move and shoot and all that you will have fun.

Welcome to Chernarus. Welcome to DayZ. Good luck friend.

What about Texas Hold'em?

LOL very nice.

People say to play on Private servers. Maybe get into a clan/community that has one. I too haven't played in a while but I will recommend Arma 2 - Domination. Arma 2 really is an amazing game by itself and there are plenty of mods that are really cool as well. For instance, it's really fun to use the mission editor and spawn yourself in an A-10 and just fly around. Specially on MAX volume ;p I would also pay more money if I could get that feeling back when I first started playing DayZ. I'll never forget I was crawling around in the dark and saw flares in the distance, Getting closer then hearing and seeing a van go roaring down the road, zombies chasing it. It was especially fun to throw flares AT the person when I finally got the drop on them, lighting them up for everyone else to see.

I believe you install DayZ and launch Operation Arrowhead. Actually you launch the beta of OA. Feel free to use one of the following to make your life a little easier... http://www.dayzcommander.com/ (personally use it and love it) http://www.six-updater.net/ (never used it but heard good things about it)

Perhaps you joined a private server? They have different hive data so you usually spawn on the coast with "nothing".

Would actually be pretty cool if they implemented this. Maybe some of them have "journals" on them you can read a little bit of the back story. Hmm...intriguing methinks.

Just reinstall. It seriously takes like 5 mins max to install DayZ. Its your best bet to make sure it works. Also now you can systematically update/upgrade you DayZ and figure out what happened.

From your above post I see that you actually mean certain skins for certain types of people...not just bandits/survivors. Gotcha Umm...they already had this. There was a bandit skin(whole skin) you got from being a dick. Now its just the scarf. Its pretty obvious the mod in on the back burner right now(I'd rather the standalone right now anyway). Our best bet is to just hope Rocket thinks out the standalone and really makes it worth it to co-op or to be a douche. There is absolutely no benefit to working as a crew now in the MOD because the best thing u can get is a vehicle. And once you get said vehicle, your only a hacker server visit away from losing the hours you spent.

I agree. However it really isnt that hard to get them back. Just another quirk about the Arma engine. If they fall toward you, chances are 70% you wont get the bolt back. When they fall back just keep on rollin' that mouse wheel while hovering over the bolt, you'll get it. I played for like 5 hours one day with only 3 bolts. Killed about ~40 zed. Was amazing, too bad the thing sucks in PvP. You all say you want a quiver, but where would it go? Backpack slot? Sidearm slot? Tool belt? Think about that...Also would it increase reload time? Decrease it? Would you have a chance to lose bolts by going prone? Swimming? IMO...fuck a quiver and just make them stack in inventory.

I mean...the idea soudsn good on paper but realistically...I would just shoot the lock off. Sure I risk aggroing zombies, but still. Basically I like the idea, but there are so many ways to poke holes in the idea that its not really feasible to waste time on. The real problem is that this game depends on ONLY human players, and privacy isn't really what this game is about. Your "locked chest" in DayZ is called a "tent" or a "vehicle". Now if you could somehow take over a bank and store items there, that might be a bit more feasible. Have to defend it from bandits and other people...but random chests with stuff in them? "Protected" doesnt exist in the world of DayZ.

I have had a tent and car be swallowd up. When i went to the respawn of the car it was MIA. I personally think hacker just spend all day ruining people HOURS AND HOURS of work.

-nosplash FTW!
