I know that feel. Heck, I fresh spawned at Elektro, ran into the grocery store and started getting shot in the legs by a nubcake in the corner with a makarov. Kept shouting friendly but he wasn't stopping :P Managed to find a winchester (with no intent on using it on him at the time) walked back in with my flashlight and was shot again, this time legs broken. I said "Fine, you want to play like that?" as his gun clicked from the empty mag, pulled my winchester out and shot him 3 times in the chest. He ran past me and got KO'd by a zed and eaten 2 seconds later. I just shouted, "How do you like it buddy? Huh?" I thought I was going to die in that first attempt, but he never tried aiming at the head. JoeDaddy92 EDIT: I think it was 2 shots. Not 3. I recorded it but I think I might have gotten rid of it on accident :/

Managed to makarov a guy who had an M4 with a silencer in the firehouse north of Elektro. Only took about 4 rounds and a bunch of swerving but I scored a headshot. :D Then I died moments later from passing out in the middle of some zed.

Okay, I know I'm going to be badgered for proof, but before reading this, I don't have any screenshots or vids. I usually record the majority of my gameplay via fraps, but I have a good bit of raw footage saved up to be compiled and I've gotten lazy :P . Anywho, moving on! DayZ- US 3484 for a few hours. The incident occurred around 11:40 PM EST (I live in South Carolina). My buddy Kenny (screen name Kenny) and I were on this server cruising around after he found a vehicle and I fixed it up. I saw some smoke in a field so I drove towards it, hitting a rock and flipping our vehicle. :( On foot now. We get to the crash site and find a ghillie suit (mine :D) and fight off some zed. Kenny gets hit a few times and comes down with an infection (still has it too). We start to hear some gunfire so we run into the tree line for about 5 minutes. We stop and plan out the course of action. Fast Forward about an hour or so We start to head to Stary Sobor in hopes of finding another vehicle so we can find some antibiotics faster. We start seeing people die in the chat one after another. I look at the player list and see a vaguely familiar name "Jean Phillipe". I kept telling Kenny that I believe he was a hacker and that I've seen him in other servers. I checked the player list about 10 minutes prior to the deaths and he wasn't in there so my suspicion lies on him. I told Kenny that if we see another death, we were leaving. Well, we were pretty isolated from everyone, about 300m-600m south of stary. I was on the tree line checking around the town for zed. Everything looked clear. We start running and all of a sudden we start getting shot at from about 10m by what sounded like an AK on speed (it was probably an LMG, but I've never used one so I couldn't tell) Kenny is on the ground bleeding, I'm shouting to him to abort (which he did) and I do the same before I die. I hate aborting like that but I didn't want to lose my character. I'm kinda surprised it let us abort since we were technically "in combat". Hopefully someone from Vigilant Addiction sees this and checks the logs (I may pop over to their website as well and contact them somehow). Until then, thanks for reading. JoeDaddy92

Not trying to start anything mate, but if they remove all the military aspects weapons wise, they might as well get rid of all the guns, bases and vehicles military related. Get rid of the military tents, smoke grenades frag grenades, Ghillie suits and anything else that might come up as "military related". The only reason there would be military equipment in the game is because of the military bases located around Chernarus. Take those away and we just have cities and industrial areas. JoeDaddy92

If we replace it with an alternative, do you think we could at least add some kind of thermal imaging like thermal goggles in as another vision item, making them separate from the NVGs and make a few more weapons with scopes NVG/Thermal friendly? But at least make the Thermals rare crash site/barracks loot? Just an idea. JoeDaddy92

Why are people calling themselves customers to this mod? Last time I checked, the DayZ mod is free and you either bought or pirated Arma II: CO. As far as I'm concerned, I'm an alpha tester until rocket requires us to buy it. JoeDaddy92

I personally love Fraps (never really tried any other program so I might sound a little biased) because during gameplay, you get an FPS counter, you can record anything without loss of frame rate, and as of the latest update, you are supposed to be able to record longer than 4GB footage. I use Handbrake to compress the footage down and until I'm able to get sony vegas from my school, I'm stuck stitching the footage in windows live movie maker. Only problem with that is that since movie maker stitches and saves the film in it's native format, I have to handbrake it again a second time -_-#.

So bandit, civillian, and hero are all the same skin ID or whatever?

I dunno, don't you think heaven would be covered in cans of beans and mountain dew? Feels more like purgatory to me :3

Thanks, and sorry for your loss as well. DayZ Alpha has definitely re-defined the phrase "Shit Happens" :D

I don't think they have a particular reason at the moment apart from changing your outfit and logging off back on. Happened to me yesterday for the first time xD.

See, I've had a bug for the longest time. I was giving my friend a blood tranfusion (I had about 4000 humanity) and after everything was said and done, the game gave me the hero skin, reset my humanity and kills, and emptied out my backpack. Ever since then, everytime I get into a server, log off, and then log back on, all my debug info is reset, I have full blood no matter what I had, If I had a broken leg, I could walk around with no morphine, If I was bleeding, it patched me up, no pain, and it would dupe my body and all of my stuff. It was a blessing and a burden. But when I put on that ghillie suit, everything changed and none of that happened anymore.

Yeah, I figured as much. meh, I've gone through worse. at one point, everytime I would log on/off/on a server, I'd have full blood and ammo, but no kills and no humanity. The ghillie suit fixed it apparently because it spawned me in debug plains and when I got back, I had 23K humanity and all of my kills etc.

Thanks much! The problem is I know I saved my tents before logging off and my buddy Zach saved the vehicles before logging off. I'm really hoping that I still have my ghillie suit O.o"

Hi all, I jumped into a server this morning after a long night of awesomeness last night to see if my gear was still there. After about 5 minutes or so, I keeled over and died as well as everyone on the server. I figured it was a hacker and jumped off. My buddy Brian texted me at work saying we were raided and are vehicles were missing so I figured it was a server reset. My question is, when you are on a server that is in the middle of a reset, do you die and get fresh spawned back on the coast or do you die and respawn where you died? Thanks, JoeDaddy92
