I certainly didn't. I just got lucky and found a corpse that I wouldn't have found if I hadn't been killed.

So you're the cunt that shot the swimming guy with an AS50?

This is a great story, renews some of my faith in DayZ.

ITS A TRAP i died

SERVER HOP AT BARRACKS DUPE ALL GEAR GET AS50 WITH AMMO AND SILENCED M9 AND A GHILLIE SUIT HIDE ON HILL 1000 METERS FROM ELEKTRO WITH GOOD VIEW SHOOT EVERYONE

When dogs are introduced, they should be able to use AS50s and cover you when entering towns.

Easy on the double post, the site is a shitload of slow. Let's just exaggerate some numbers here and say that Oblivion is released today, and Bethesda announces Skyrim will be released five years later. Would you play Oblivion or not? Its going to be some time to wait until standalone, and for as long as this mod continues to grow with players, more will buy the standalone when it comes along. The mod will die eventually. All mods that go standalone are like that.

We have to remember that this is a video game, and if we want this game to be realistic, we have to look at it as it is. This is not just a zombie apocalypse. This is a world where survivors kill each other for fun. Certainly in a world where society still was liberal and caring and pro-life, things would be different. You wouldn't see AS50's in every other survivors hand. This is not that world. We just have to be patient and hope that Rocket is working to fix duping and regenerating ammo.

Thermal is the spotter's best tool. Snipers in ghillies watching Stary from 900 meters away with an M107 are invincible when no one can detect them. Something needs to keep snipers from being so effective.

The gaps that separate 'A' from 'Y' and 'Y' from 'Z' are artefacts.

Just a few hours ago I was sniper spotting for my friend in Elektro. I had music playing, and didn't hear the guy crawling right behind me with a hatchet. That lucky bastard now has an M107 and a DMR.

I found a helicopter crash site east of Novy Sobor. There was a dead guy at it with an LMG. I see NVGs at the site (which I don't have), but the dead guy was bleeding out of his face, so I figured that a sniper must be nearby. I have an M107/ghillie/PDW and am looking at the crash site from 300 meters away in a pine tree. What should I do?

The entrenching tool has saved my life a lot

I'd like to see this changed.

Same thing happens to me, Jesters. I was holding an AKM and checking the forum and when I returned I was sure I was being shot and killed

... but how can I tell what my humanity is?

My debug monitor only shows Zombies Killed: Headshots: Blood: Murders: Bandits Killed: Zombies (alive/total):

You spawn on the beach when you manually close the game during a stuck loading screen. To fix this, you have to run two Armas at the same time, and kill the one stuck at the loading screen.

I hate the AKM so god damn much. AKM: Common, one hit kills, common ammo type, zeroing, fully automatic, 30 round clips, decent iron sights wtf is this

Wouldn't a murderer be hostile? And no, because some servers don't have tags, and tags can be very very annoying. I think that there needs to be an visual.

Only as realistic as making corpses magically invisible. Thanks for contributing.

I'm not saying that the hiding body feature should be removed. I suppose I'm suggesting that it takes some time to hide it, and players can recover their loot with an entrenching tool or something.

Sure, I die a lot, and I'm used to losing gear, but realistically I didn't have to lose it. Also, I've only recovered my loot once when someone didn't hide my body.
