50.cal is excessive? Please. Even if you got hit in the little toe, you're as good as dead my friend, the rounds travel at such a velocity that a graze on the hand could rip off an arm, and if a round hits anywhere on your torso, you will no longer physically exist...

People, sniping is op when the rifles are scripted in and it doesn't help that players don't seem to use the 225sqkm of map they have been given. The trick is to head inland, I managed to escape the coast, I now have an M4a1 Holo (rare), an M107, M9sd, a Ghillie, and a bunch of meds, food and water, not to mention the heaps of ammo for all weapons. The better loot and survival rate is found inland, gtfo of Cherno or Elektro get surviving and get looting!

Seriously? You're blaming rocket for haxors? Dude how many times do people have to be told... IT'S A MOD, ROCKET CAN'T DO SHIT

I'm trying! I got to like 4800 humanity, then I had to kill a hacker out of self defence, he had friends :( they had to die, which also lowered humanity, I'm back at 1500 :(

I have like 2 mags that I got with my m4a1 holo at the nw airfield

Pffft nothing beats my Winchester ;)

Dunno about you but I'm keeping mine, I earned it, drove a bus of 12 people up the east coast getting chased by a jeep by a guy who had the as50, it's MINE :D

Some people just click on a topic to be an asshole and are not constructive or liked, they do it to make themselves look big, sarcastic and clever and try to make the OP look like an idiot.

Ok, first off I was playing mostly in the dayz unofficial fan page server, it took us a while to wait for the server to restart or whatever so we decided to all migrate to a US server. There was a big group of about 15 of us repairing the bus in Cherno, we cruised around the coast occasionally stopping to give transfusions, eat, drink and scout the area. after about half an hour of this party bus rolling, we got news that the fan page server was open again, we decided to head back to Cherno so we would spawn there in the new server, this time I drove, pretty good I'll say... We then disconnected from the us server, leaving the bus at the gas station. However, when we logged into the fan server, the bus had followed us in? 0.O we then saw the other bus down th erode had spawned in Cherno, we then had two teams, one was guarding both buses, while the other scavenged for engine parts and fuel etc. We then finally got both vehicles working, I was driving the lead bus, we, again headed along the coast, getting shot at through Elektro and accidently running someone over, by this time we had a team of about 20 players, 10 in each bus. Unfortunately, bus no,2 hit some rubble and lost a tire, thus making that grup move to my bus. This is where shit gets real! We headed back the Cherno way along the main road when we decided to get a group screenshot for the page, we got out the bus and lined up saluting against the sunset, this was pretty epic with the amount of people we had. Now, I wanted to get out of the open but the teamspeak server was being spammed and I couldn't get my word in, I got in the bus as driver yelling 'get in this goddamn bus people!' most of them did, except about 5 guys... Then.... BAM! Explosion! I get knocked unconscious, fatally wounded and fell out the bus, a few other comrades were also hit, we all panicked and ejected from bus #1 I was luckily tended to first as the bus driver and lived, but Sadly, two other players died of shock and severe blood loss, as we all calmed down and the assigned medic went around checking people, we started to think about what the explosion actually was and from whence it came. We still don't have a clear idea, however there was a ghillied player with an underling grenade launcher that was spamming them earlier. We couldn't get back in the bus so I picked up an as50 and disconnected for dinner. Part 2- when I returned I spawned in next to one of the earlier passengers who had a broken leg, I offered to conduct a rescue mission, in which I would sprint to Cherno, grab some morphine and return to him while he covered the bus. However this didn't go to plan as I was headshotted in Cherno due to my lack of caution. I was on teamspeak to other players in Cherno who were friendly so I managed to get my kit back and somehow grabbed some morphine through the graphical artefacts I was wading through. I then met up the the friendliest in Cherno and we headed back to the bus, only to Hear that the guy I was helping had lost a gunfight with an intruder but did manage to put a few rounds in him, this angered me as I had risked my gear in Cherno for over an hour trying to help. This news made me be more strategic as I ordered 2 people to go to the bus on the tree line side and me and another on the beach to surround the enemy, but when we got there the guy had also died from blood loss, we then met up with another groupso we were now about 7 strong and we headed east to get to the chopper spawn on the island, we stopped overlooking Elektro as I spotted a player on the fire station roof, looting a corpse, we then lost him in the trees, I had a thermal. As50 and then spotted another player sat right on sniper hill looting a zed, I couldn't get my zeroing to work and the thermal sight had no mil dots so I ranged the target and estimated my shot which was at 700 meters, I fired and he instantly died as I was taken aback by my pure luck, my team congratulated me on the shot as two of em moved in for the loot, unfortunately when we were too busy scouting Elektro, the fire station guy from before had somehow flanked us and killed three of us because I wasn't told that the one mag I had for the as50 that I was given had just 1 round, I aimed at the guys head but I heard a Click and died. Since then I got my kit back, we got revenge and eventually aborted due to a hacker. Now you had to be there for a lot of this but it was an awesome days... Dayz Congrats if ou bothered to read this far, constructive discussion only please :)

Pffft screw you guys, I play dayz for the beautiful totally stable graphics engine, with no flaws or RETARDED BLACK ARTIFACTS, nope... None

its all updated, including the game and dayz, all my filters are OFF, only about 10 servers can be found... help

Seriously, stop shooting on sight, ask 'friendly?' over the mic unless the player has a bandit skin, don't shoot every fucking person you see. This game is about survival, yes, in some cases murder is the only option, but you people that hang around in Cherno etc treating the game like a run 'n' gun deathmatch, are ruining the mod and I feel because of the behaviour of these people, dayz will simply crumble and be taken over by YOU, negotiate, team up, use allies, but most of all, survive together! Seriously it's dumb, it's not what the mod was designed for and it ruins the experience for the rest of us. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the PROPER dayz community when I say GO FUCK YOURSELVES Have a nice day...

I'll have you know, we survived the attack and managed to kill the other players, one was hacking... I'm not saying I'm the best player in the world, but I sure as hell don't wander the coast racking up the kills of unarmed players for no reason, the situation where me and my squad were ambushed was due to us having obviously good gear, however the attackers screwed up, one of us killed the flanking guy who had an m4 before he even fired a shot, while I flanked behind the sniper and hacker in my Ghillie, i killed the player and for some reason the hacker aborted, though he could have killed us all with ease. Don't tell me I'm a hypocrite when I talk about a legitimate dayz situation where I actually had my heart pumping hard and had a lot of fun. That kind of scenario is NOT what this thread is about.

I survived for three 5hour sessions over 3days and managed not to get shot once, the shit hit the fan once when we got ambushed while filling canteens at a pond

No no, I did get you the first time, I was agreeing with you that bandits keep you on edge, but the game shouldn't be full of them

Woah woah, hang on just a second big man, in no way am I a hippie, I will kill people, I have killed people, but only in defence or when a squad mate was in danger and I had to snipe the oppressor, I also don't believe in gay little campfires etc, there will be death, but that isn't the entirety of the game's point and objective is all I'm saying

I got killed by bandits in a bus, then I fixed up another bus, drove to the east coast where in the distance I could see the other bus that killed me before, I moved to the other lane to pass it, I was unarmed, the occupants of the other bus then proceeded to step out and lint me up, I was fuming, I did nothing to them

I fail to see where this is going...

Hmmm thank you for the constructive arguments, I understand that trust is dangerous, it got me killed too many times earlier, I just hope that in the standalone, there will actually be reasons and rewards for letting people love. Oh and for the record, I posted a similar thread on the War Z forum and got people blathering on about I am looking at the wrong game if I don't like shooting on sight.... Fuck them

I never got to experience actually communicating with people in this game :(

:makes a change from killing everything that moves :could gain kit, a slave, friend, whatever :could feel more realistic. In the real world, people wouldn't ALL kill each other, taking the life another human being isnt easy. :could even receive gratitude by helping out a new player, maybe even feeling good about yourself (I know it's a strange concept within a game) : however if the other player is a bandit, rinse em with lead...

It's not about making them play how I want, it's about not killing new, unarmed players etc, it's not that type of game, I'm entitled to an opinion of how I would like the game to be thank you very much

I will admit though with great sorrow and regret that I did blow the brains out of some innocent little bambi that didn't see me when he entered a barn, my double barrelled SG made it short and sweet, I only did it because I was mad at myself for trusting a bandit bus and decided to kill anyone I knew would kill me, this isn't my normal strategy, if that guy is reading, I really am truly sorry, you may have my beans, it may give you comfort that I was run over by a jeep shortly after

Would it be 'wrong' to mention War Z, I haven't come across any people I play dayz with that know about it, the website is new and not obvious on google... I dunno maybe the players will be more mature on a game that pretty much slipped under the radar in the 'mainstream' (I hate that expression) gaming community?

It's not the 'bandits' I'm that annoyed about, I mean I got taken hostage by a group of em once, it still sticks in my mind as one of the scariest, yet most epic and realistic moments of my dayz time. I'm all for bandits, as long as they do stuff for a reason, such as killing for kit, or taking someone hostage to do jobs for them and letting them go, that's cool and is an exciting part of the apocalypse experience. What I'm on about are the (I'm guessing COD kids) that spawn, find a gun, go to either Cherno or electro and run around LOOKING for people to kill, they don't even loot the bodies for Christ sake, also the snipers that kill unarmed players when they spawn on the coast, the game isn't primarily about killing one other, as referred to in the title DAYz, e.g how many days can you stay alive for, not from other players, but from the hordes of zombies, hunger, thirst, blood loss, and the OCCASIONAL banditry. When I'm playing, if I see another player, I holler a suspicious 'friendly' down the mic, if I get no response, I either back away with an eye on them or, if they pose a threat possibly kill them, I never shoot first, unless I KNOW they want me dead. however if they do respond I will do one of two things, i will ask if they are alone and if they want company, or/and I will ask if they need a medic, food, water, or ammunition, after that I will say my goodbye then head off happily. I am therefore slightly happy that inland players are more understandable and will negotiate and communicate before any offensive or helpful action is taken. It's the instances when I feel I HAVE to venture into the coastal cities to get equipped, where I get swarmed by makarov bullets and other shit.
