Riis

Might be the same thing thats killed me a couple of times now. Both time i've been prone, and lying still, both times i've had 10.000+ blood. As Oddball says, it doesn't go to you are dead screen, you keel over, you die, you lay there for a few seconds, and then it comes. My deaths seems to have been triggered by alt tabbing for some odd reason.

MP5A5 and MP5SD6 can both use pistol mags for some odd reason. They are all 9mm, but neither the Glock nor M9's mags are compatible with the MP5 magasinewell (Spelling, directly translated from danish). Now, its nice because you dont have to go running around looking for MP5 mags, but sad since it kinda screws with the realism. However as someone said, unloading ammo from a mag and putting it in the mag that works for ya would make this game alot more awesome. Just like refilling your mags would be perfect. I hate when im running around with 3 mags, 1 full and 2 half full, i'd rather have 2 full mags than that.

Time: Now Server: RU6 What happened: I alt tabbed out, alt tabbed back in a few seconds later, my character fell over dead, with 12000 blood, no zombies or anything around me. It's the second time this has happened to me, and funny enough, its always when i get totally set up with gear. FML. PC Specs: Not relevant to bug.

And why? Because its his own server and not a server from the dayz developer. Again, if he wants to enforce his own rules on his own server he can do that..just not while running DayZ.

As Bob said, it wont work. Best defence against getting killed by bandits is to get the fuck off the coast and away from those starter cities.

What do you think soldiers do? run around saving kittens from trees? No we are trained to do our job, BY ANY MEANS. and that includes killing people in a most coldblooded fashion once in awhile. And if you think of the context, A zombie apocalypse (Spelling?) my job would be to survive, and if that means blowing the brains out of some boso about to give away my position, or if he has stuff I need, then I'd do it. If you want to play this game as if you can save the world and maybe win a cuddly white rabbit you can pet, then go ahead. But I'm not going to do that, and im sure as hell not going to get punished for being efficient in my survival. Now please think before you post rubbish like that.

ok, lets me put this so you can understand it. You want to be able to do solo bloodtransfusions so that you dont get others to do it for ya. Thus making this game alot easier than its supposed to be, and very unrealistic. That is not functional, that is stupid. Now, I should let you know that english is not my native language, so my Realism > functionality remark might've been misleading. This game should strive to be as realistic as possible, while retaining functionality. That make sense? And you must be a newbie to gaming since you don't understand that this is an alpha and stuff like batteries etc.. will be added later.

Realism > functionality, that is the point of this game. Fire weaponry, maybe.. Administer morphine from an Autoinjector? Google "Morphine Autoinjector 10 mg", and tell me that its difficult to do that properly. Especially when these autoinjectors has instructions on how to use them written on the side of them, and these instructions are written so that even a Jarhead could understand them. Finally, if you think common sense makes it easy to take a 14G maybe 16G canule/IV, put it into a vein, having a sterile enviroment and not fucking up. Then you're god and I'll name my baby after you.

Considering how bloody hard it is to canulate yourself, no.

Bad idea, This game is all about survival of the fittest, if you want to go ahead and trust people you dont know, fine by me. But I'm not going to do it, if someone sees me, and I see him, im going to shoot first and get the hell out of dodge. And I should be penalised for wanting to survive? Others have taken to taking supplies off survivors, by killing them, also a means of survival, and they should be penalised for this? If you're having so much trouble surviving for more than 10 minutes, GTFO of cherno and elektro, trust nobody, and dont get seen. And most importantly stop whining about getting killed by bandits or survivors, this game is not about balance, its not about bandits vs. survivors, its a free for all with everyone having 1 single goal...stay alive for as long as possible.

Alcohol does not increase body temperature in real life, it only feels that way. In fact, drinking alcohol while freezing only drains your body temperature even faster. Read up on it if you don't believe me ;) it's simple anatomy.

I woke up at the beach, basic equipment and no idea of where I was. It was night time, the stars were out. I looked at the surrounding area, to my left a railway bridge, to my right a small town. I reasoned that I was near Kamenka. I ran in the direction that I thought was north, towards a hill to get away from the town, and the open area of the beach. I got to the top of the hill and sat down for a minute, trying to get my bearings, and to make a plan. I soon figured that I would go towards Zelenogorsk to raid the store there for supplies, and then head northeast from Zelenogorsk, towards the woods and hide out there. I looked at the stars trying to find the big dipper but there were too many, and the clouds made it blurry, so I ran in the direction that I felt was north, making minor corrections along the route. I ran for about 30 minutes, stopping each time I got to the open, to make sure that it was safe. For 30 minutes I moved on without seeing any signs of civilisation, I was lost. My sense of direction wasn't what I thought it was, I had no idea which way I had gone, I only knew that I hadn't gone south. Suddenly I saw the outlines of hangars in the distance, about 100 meters in front of me. I had been heading east, bypassing Komarovo and zigzagging through the area to get to Balota airfield...Crap..well i may aswell get something out of being there, so i headed towards the ATC tower, sneaking past the few zombies there, and heard flies buzzing. A body materialised in front of me, it was a bandit..dead, AKM in his hands, ALICE on his back. Awesome I thought and crept closer, listening for footsteps or other movement around me. Nothing, I took a look at his corpse, "died from unknown causes" was the assesment. I grabbed his backpack and the AKM, he had a compass too... But he had no food at all, no mags for the AKM either. I went upstairs and found another 4 bodies, all dead from unknown causes, and none of them had weapons, backpacks or food. But there was a revolver on the floor and lots of ammo for it, so i switched my makarov out with that, and started heading towards the hangars. In the first one i found an AK-74, but no ammo, in the second, there was another body, with nothing on him of importance, and an AKM, but no ammo. So my trip to Balota Airfield had yielded an AKM with no ammo, an ALICE backpack, a compass and a revolver. Well at least I had the compass so I could go in the right direction. I took a compass heading and headed out towards zelenogorsk. After some minutes of running I got there, followed the highvoltage lines south of Zelenogorsk towards the Store and the parkinglot. Then the moaning started, a Crawling zombie had spotted me and started crawling after me, but I didnt know that, I thought it was a runner, so i sprinted towards the store and more Zombies came after me. I got inside and slammed the door after me, took position in the far end of the store and aimed at the door. The moaning got louder and soon 4 zombies came through the door, my revolver boomed in the night, the muzzleflash lighting up the faces of the zombies, signalling an end to their sorry existence, 4 zombies down. 2 rounds left in the gun, I could hear another zombie, and waited for him. It was the crawler, another shot and it was silent again. I hadn't attracted anymore zombies. I went through the store, found a hunting knife, some food and soda, and most importantly, a Map. I was pretty well set up, and pleased with myself, I left zelenogorsk for Stary Sobor hoping to find some ammo for the AKM on my back. The journey was uneventful, except for the fact that one of my friends was close to stary sobor, so we agreed to meet up. When I got to stary sobor, I saw a flare near the military camp there, I hit the deck and started crawling towards an old abandoned factory building just south east of the tents. I walked slowly up the stairs, and when I got inside, i crawled towards the northeastern end of the building, to take a look at the tents, and the surrounding area. After a few minutes of looking at the light down there, shots were fired, it sounded like a pistol of sorts, and then it was silent again. The flare went out but I stayed in position. Not soon after I saw a shadow moving in the wooden area just north of the tents. I watched him get into position with a rifle, which rifle I could not see as it was dark, but it was clear that he was a bandit just waiting for someone to go to the tents. I called out that I had seen him, and stated the grid reference that he was in. People called out their thanks, and my friend told me that he was nearby, and would be flanking him while I covered him. The ruse worked, the bandit got up and ran away. But how far? I didn't know, but I moved out from the building, intent on getting to the tents, but instead of going straight there, I crawled slowly around the tents, and a 100 meters north of the woods that I had spotted the bandit in. I stood up and walked slowly towards the woods, crouching every 10 meters to have a proper look. He was gone, so I crawled towards the tents, and just as i got to the first tent my friend said he was in position in the woods and would try to cover me as best he could. I went to the first tent and found a G17 with 4 mags, and switched out my revolver for that, looked around me and spotted an MP5 with 2 mags, well better than my AKM with 0 mags I thought, so i grabbed that and crawled through all the other tents, I found 2 AKMs with no ammo, and 2 AK-74 with no ammo, so I got out of there and met up with my friend. He had an M14 but wanted to switch, so we switched weapons, and headed to Novy sobor to raid the barns there for wood and matches as we were getting cold. A quick trek there revealed woodpiles and matches, we ran north towards the woods to get some cover, and on the way there we found a goat which we shot and gutted. We were set for the night, we made a campfire and cooked our meat, and got warmed by the fire. Suddenly we heard a rustle in the bushes, we put out the campfire and hit the deck, slowly crawling to cover, shots were fired, a bandit was firing at where we had been. His muzzleflashes revealed his position and i fired off 3 rounds. His deathcry was loud in the darkness, I covered my friend while he went over to make sure he was dead, the MP5 made sure the bandit would never wake up again. We looted his corpse and made camp for the night. A story from Pte. Riis on TX1

Hi guys, first let me introduce myself. My name ingame is Riis, and I'm a survivor with capital letters, meaning I do not trust any of you, but I would still like to share a story. Today started early in the morning near the NW airfield. I had camped out for the night in the forest just east of the main gate, and decided I'd go in and see if there was any early loot. I sneaked past the usual zombies, and crawled into the garage of the firestation, determined to find some food as I was getting pretty low. Sure enough, I find a few cans of food in the garage, and quickly rummage through the tower aswell. On my way down I'm suddenly faced with a bandit, I start to curse myself for not having my AKM in my hands, and a splitsecond after seeing the tosser, I start unloading my trusty Makarov into his murderous face, but sadly, he had the same idea. We both go down, me, Heavily wounded and bleeding, him dead. After a few seconds i regain conciousness and start bandaging up, I'm badly hurt, gone into shock from the bloodloss, and im in alot of pain. The bandit sadly didn't have anything usefull, so I eat what food I have and start making my way out of the airfield so I can hide in the forest. Then reallife calls and I have to go to work. After work I get on teamspeak and some of my buddies are on, and we decide to meet up, 2 of em has bloodpacks and meat. And we meet up just north of Kabanino, and start to make our way towards the airfield to pick up one of our lads that's badly wounded. We pick our way through the hangars, and I find enough AKM mags to last me for a few weeks. We make our way to the firestation where our buddy is, but someone has set up some barbed wire inside the firestation, making navigating it very difficult, and only me and 1 other makes it inside the tower. At this point, one of the new guys agravates a Zombie and starts running towards the garage, Brad the guy we had outside to secure the area accidentally fires his Lee Enfield, telling every zombie at the airfield that there's brains to be had. A firefight breaks out, 2 of us are stuck behind the barbed wire with zombies getting through it pretty easily, Brad outside the station is running around trying to loose the zombies. I'm firing my last few makarov rounds into the waves and waves of zombies when Wolf finally opens up with his AKM and mows the horde down. I go down, and so does Black dog. Wolf manages to get behind the barbed wire, but has no bandages, luckily i have some in my backpack and he manages to bind up my wounds, but black dog bleeds out within a few seconds. I get a blood transfusion and magically im back up to full strength. Brad is trying to get inside the barbed wire as our friend upstairs had died, and we're trying to get black dogs stuff divided. Then we hear M4 fire, zombies start running again, I quickly move upstairs trying to get a bead on where the fire is coming from, shots ping off the walls, and Brad yells that he's got zombies on him, and he'll try to loose em by going up the ladder to the roof. I tell Wolf to cover the doors, and I try to cover Brads movement. Suddenly I hear a winchester and an M4 firing again, Brad is down on the roof, wolf has no contact, and I dont see anything, so I go down a level when i see a survivor crouched over Brads bleeding corpse, I take cover lean out, take aim and fire off a few shots, the survivor keels over, bleeding from 2 hits in the chest. I think to myself, good at least brad has been avenged now, and I keep aiming at him. His mate, a bandit runs towards his mate, to try and get him back up, I shoot at him 3 times, 2 shots hit a chimney, 1 shot hits him in the pelvis, but he manages to run a few steps towards me and go prone..looking at bradleys dead corpse. I check my ammo counter, 17 bullets left in the clip...I empty the clip into the bloody bastard almost point blank. I wait about 30 seconds, to see if there are more, and then decide to take the chance and go outside on the roof. I run to bradley, who was dead, I do a nice coup de grace shot to the head of each of the bandits, just to make sure, and check out their stuff. That morning I had a decent kit, after that, i had more bloodpacks than I could use, all the tools I would need to survive in the wilds, 7 mags for my AKM, lights, smoke grenades, painkillers, epi-pen, morphine, the lot... And after this what happens, well I go about my business for a bit, get my canteens filled, find my buddies who had restarted and give them some of the extra kit i had. And when we go to a pond to refill our canteens, I suddenly die while being prone, i look at my debug monitor...12000 blood...something just killed me, some kind of bug..but i have no idea what.... It had been such a good day, my character had managed to stay alive for about 4 days, and I had planned on going into the wilds for a bit and hunt...And now my character is dead :( All that hard work for naught.... Oh well, I'm sure I'll experience new things with a new character, but just wanted to share this good day with bandits killed :D
