Me and my friend were hanging out around Elektro on a 40 man server for around 40 minutes and we saw one survivor who had some zombies on his arse then DCed like the scared fag he is. It was too quiet; we went there to cause some trouble.

I use spacebar for in-game chat. The default didn't seem relevant to DayZ and works nice for WASD gamers.

I don't know exactly but it's around 5 or so.

All servers should have helicopter spawns.

I searched google for "zombie survival game" or something and found a random video on youtube.

Either the staff are too busy or they're reluctant to blacklist servers. If they're reluctant then there's no need as there's plenty of proper servers to play on. I really wish they'd start enforcing this and make some examples of people.

That's hilarious. Whoever is trolling people in this fashion is a legend.

LostMemory makes a very good point. Try that.

Afraid not. Just keep trying different servers. If it means anything I purposely watch out for server hoppers looting firestation towers and instantly drop them.

I don't hear footsteps from zombies.

Firewall issue perhaps?

I've gotta hand it to the cheaters trolling us survivors with that white headscarf skin. I would shit my pants.

Direct communication works on beta patch servers. I highly recommend using them. Had some pretty funny encounters over the mic.

19 DayZ days. 350 or so zombie kills and 4 murders.

Sure! I like reading threads with interesting encounters like these.

Well said. Anyway the best loot is found at chopper crash sites so feel free wasting your time and enjoyment server hopping whilst I have a great time finding sweet loot with my friends.

Good job! I've played for many hours and never managed something like that.

Are you intentionally trying to be a bad troll?

I found a chopper yesterday with the following: - DMR w/ 3 clips - 3 standard FN FALs /w 3 clips - FN FAL with the NV scope - M107 w/ no ammo

There's also going to be a huge difference in how bear traps affects the game with and without 3rd person view enabled (i.e. huge disparity in feedback).

I was looting Elektro earlier with my friends and we made it to the office. From there we could see a survivor on the roof of the hospital with about 50 zombies going apeshit just below. Made me giggle.

I've only seen a busted ATV at Stary Sobor. Everything needed to be repaired but it had a FN FAL stashed inside :D

No, only way right now is to get another copy.

I haven't really got anything constructive to add. I just agree with what you've said. I actually made your first point to my friend earlier. Zombies running inside is fine ONCE they're less buggy. I think it will be a bit too much right now. And yeah...bear traps. Going to be interesting with the duping bugs about.

This used to be a problem but is no longer viable as players can spawn anywhere within a large area.
