Funny....I had a real life chuckle at the comment, noobsmcgee

My advice....If you have any doubts....wait for the stand alone. I have played this allot and have only been killed by hackers a few times. I enjoy the game play and will be first in line to purchase the stand alone.

I was playing on a server this morning and was in Berezino. It was only me and another player, (Leo) on the server. I went into the supermarket to find that there was no loot there.....very weird....nothing at all...not even an empty can. I wanted to get some medical supplies from the hospital and head out of town when I saw zombies chasing around. I did not see a player at this stage, although I knew I was one of two on the server. That being said, the player, Leo (in a ghillie), came around from the supermarket and started running straight at me. I did even have the time to say friendly and fired off two shots at him. I will admit that I also panicked. I knew I hit as my humanity dropped to just below 14k. I have never fired at another player until this morning and would like to say that I am sorry, Leo, for at least not cautioning you. I hope we can hook up on the server sometime. As a matter of interest..... Leo...if you read this....what would you have done had you seen me, (in a split second), first? Also...to anyone reading this....what would you have done...(baring in mind I do not PK)?

This has happened to me before, too. The last time I retained my backpack, although it did not have any items inside.

Nice story...thank you for sharing. I can relate to your escapades, as I find myself playing in much the same way.

I had not noticed that...interesting.

Yea...there are different ways to look at this, I suppose. I will admit that I responded based on my own game play, (I have never killed a player before). I have an A S50 and thought of using it to take out zombies, when my clan is busy raiding and looting. Also to cover them, should they get into a PVP situation. I am sure there will be loads of things that will be altered and tweaked before the stand alone is released. Cheers for now.

I am not sure, although the "players in the last 24 hours" has decreased...this may be due to it being mid week. One of the servers I play on has had a massive increase in players, in the afternoons. Anyway....water finds it's own level, and I am sure we will see people come and go through this phase. Personally I am enjoying this mod immensely and I cannot wait for the stand alone.

I cant say I support this, either. If I understand correctly, and using your example of an A S50...Why I say this is because if you are looting a town or a crash site with an A S50 for example, you will have randomly spawned, aggressive zombies around you where the A S50 is not an ideal weapon for up close, multiple aggressive zombies. Just my thoughts

Let me start by saying I have never had the chance to snipe in DayZ, before, but wanted to get an A S50, just in case the chance presents itself. I have been playing DayZ for around a month now and have had some great times and some very frustrating times....but all in all I think it is a fantastic mod. I look forward to the stand alone and for sure will be one of the first in line to purchase, once it is offered. I have never killed another player, but rarely bump into anyone and spend most of my time trying to find equipment which I share. I really want an old bike right now....and I am holding thumbs. Yesterday, a friend and I were taken out by hackers, (well I assume they were hackers). I cannot comprehend why people will spend money on a game, hack it so it does not provide the intended experience being aware that they are probably going to get a life time ban, when they are caught. Well... to each their own. Anyway....after we were taken out...we re-spawned on the coast, only to have someone spawn right next to us, every time, and shoot us again....so we did not have a chance to try and get where were were to recover our equipment. I server hopped and made it to a tent I had set up and got the bare essentials and logged out, with the intention of going back this morning to get more equipment and things. I logged on this morning and started to gather some equipment from another camp we had found the day before. I approached the camp cautiously because I came across a dead animal, not too far away from the tents. It was dark....but I had stashed a pair of NV Gogs which came in handy. I saw a body lying between the tents, next and this put me on edge but I proceeded to look through the tents and got a weapon, (M4A3 CCO) and some stanag rounds to go with it and made my way over to our clans Camp 1. Along the way I expected to find another tent where I knew there was good loot, from the day before, but it was not there. I went to a couple of deer stands and found some more ammunition and then on to our Camp 1. I had looted an A S50s and ammunition and had stored them in a tent but when I got to my tent I was disappointed to find the tent had been raided and it was no longer there. I decided to go to where we were taken out the day before....close to the NW airfield to continue with my planned path of the day before. Along the way I came across various tents, tent camps and managed to get the coyote backpack, ghillie suits...more NV Gogs and range finders and pretty much had everything I wanted.....I even found another A S50 and started making my way back to a tent I had placed in a central position, on the map. I reached the tent and tried something silly. I tried to place my A S50 in the starter back pack....and lost it. One lives and learns, I suppose. By this stage I had being online for around 4 hours and was about to log off when but I decided to raid some barns and a town, which was close by. I had a fun time shooting Zombies and looting anything of remote value. Then I noticed Zombies walking about who looked like the ones one finds at a helicopter crash site. I looked around....it was still dark and spotted a helicopter, almost in the town. I went over to it and low and behold I find another A S50, NV Gogs and a box of medical supplies. I was thrilled with the sessions play and finding the crash site, before logging...and had a great time out there. So...unless I spawn in no man's land, again...I will be all set for my next session....which I look forward to. Also...I hope to bump into some friendly players....Cheers for now.

This happened to me two days ago, as well...but I managed to crawl out. I noted from the land marks that the house it spawned me in was in the proximity of where I had died. I died without being attacked....just simply, left a lake after filling my water bottles.

I hate to say it Beno...but you probably will. It happened too. I was filling my water bottle... and died once I left the lake. I spawned in Novy Sobor....inside the walls of a house. I made it back to my body,and took everything I had back, except the Ghillie. I exited the server, later, but when I rejoined this morning...I was on the coast with nothing but my empty Alice Pack, which was empty. I am thinking that it is maybe time to wait for the stand alone, for me, although I love the game play so much that it is hard to stay away.

Nice story...I enjoyed the read....thank you for sharing.

Yes...reinstall is an option. If you look just above and to the left of the reinstall button options....it gives you the state of your installation. It says UP TO DATE: Also.....when a new update is available, I suggest waiting a bit before updating to ensure that the server you prefer to play on is updated too.

Awesome...thank you for sharing.

It says up to date....reinstall is an option.....You are good to go.

The same spawn thing happened to me, as well. http://dayzmod.com/f...t-not-my-stats/

Same thing happened to me this morning. I spawned in no man's land without anything in my inventory and I did not have a ghillie on. My stats are also, intact....for now. I read on another thread that it could be something to do with logging out when you too close to a tree or another object. I was hiding under a tree, close to my tent when I last logged out.
