Being killed,with no explanation ?

[Scott61 93]

I disagree.

 

I am a long range sniper and very few times do they die from one shot. Usually takes two.

 

Looks like he's getting hive wiped. Most of my deaths are from this. Nobody on the server, with friends, your dead. Happens to my people as well. In a building, just us on a server, walk down stairs or across a field…your dead. Nobody is on the server to make the kill shot.

 

 

 

This happened to someone I was playing with. He has terrible desync and often when he runs every time he changes direction little ghosts continue straight (like the halo hologram). He ran up a hill, desynced, "you are dead".

Middle of the forest, no possible way he was sniped, just dropped dead. In his case it was almost certainly elevation and desync related, so yes, it happens.

 

 

Read and weep spammers,why dont you all go spam some other thread for awhile LOL

Or do you just like trying to antagonize people ROFL

[Crooked Hauser 258]

I'm reading. But I'm not weeping. You're the tear-soaked guy who's laughing on the floor doing acrobatics. You were probably combatting logging too.

Edit: I think Scott is a Brony.

Try staying on topic if you want to participate in a thread,I see from other threads you post you mainly just try to antagonize others with rude comments ;)

A bullet travels faster than sound, So essentially in this game, as farfetched as it can be, (falling from 20M and survive), it's still got the engine of a military simulator, so if you want to even test, get a friend to fire a shot near you from about 500m away and you will hear the whizz, the bang, THEN the shot. So you are being shot by someone who is too far away for the shot to be heard.

[kipps 64]

That last unexplained death was in an area that would be insane for anyone else to be

along the maps edge,nowhere near anything

 

 

I have also had a few totally randoms deaths which were not a result of a bullet from a sniper (Team mates where in close prox and saw me randomly die)

But yeh its Alpha, so expect lots of bugs and glitches at this stage.

 

In relation to what Ive quoted above - You need to forget that train of thought, no matter how quiet the server is, or how far a arandom town you are in - If there are others on the server expect to bump into them. I've met the only other player on numerous servers in complete random places quite a few times now :lol:

[Martmital 436]

 

Considering DayZ has a capital Z at the end of the name..... they should maybe at least fix a few glitches with the Zombies at least

or rename it to DayBZ for BuggyZombies ROFL

 

 

 

pro-tip:  the Z don't stand for zombies...  fucking noob!

[Hrki 94]

funny thing is how you can rule all players (fresh spawns + geared one) just put bag on street and watch them come :D like rats muahahaah

 

todays score

 

10 freshs
4 half geared
2 geared

 

what a nice day cya

I am on topic. The topic is you being a lachrymose little whiner. And other people calling you out on it. And if you truly read all my other magnificent posts you would see I only antagonize people like you who are cry babies and can't handle Dean's mad flavor. I'm the bean collector, ya hear!?

Oh for sure,I have bumped into a few people on low Pop servers and it's a surprise for sure

I understand the Alpha /bugs/glitches and take it all with agrain of salt

 

I may not be that great at posting,or getting my point across...obviously from the harsh reaction of some in this thread that are posting

I also could care less how many times I die etc. as it means nothing starting over again

 

It was just the odd time,some strange deaths were occurring and I wondered is all

but the Fan Boy's get riled when you call there game Boring..... or anything else LOL

 

Remember all,it is just a Game ;)

 

and for that reason I am no longer replying to anyone that does not have anything constructive to say

or want to blame everything on the Millions of snipers laying in wait

 

I have had some good explanations posted by some ,and some who have posted they to have had or there friends have had some very unexplained deaths.That is all I was curious about untill I started to get the Noob/Sniper crap shoved down my throat....

 

It seems some here have answered one to many questions,and consider anyone who as anything to ask or wonder about abviously is a just a noob/sniper bate etc.

 

The quote above I quoted by Weyland Yutani,

is answer enough for me and sounds the most plausable for those couple of odd deaths that occured

 

Other than that I am sure I have died ever horribly,indignant and miserable death that anyone could ever deliver to another in DayZ

 

So,seeing as I am a Noob with a only weeks under my Belt....

What does the Z stand for in DayZ If not for Zombies

I only assumed this!

 

The FanBoys sure take this game WAY to seriously!

[DMentMan 707]

happends to me to, even on low pop server i just die randomly, no gunshots, nothing.

[simonhedin 4]

OP, have you considered it might be a Lynx, snake or other dangerous animal?

 

If u are in a remote place the chance of encountering wild animals increase alot. Also i guess that if a Lynx jumped at you from a 5 feet branch you would notice anything before it land on your neck and snap it...

Hey Scott ^^^ above 3 posts seems spot on.

 

You mentioned you were running in an open field...this is an open invite to get sniped, especially if you appear armed and may be perceived as hostile.

 

It sounds tempting to make a dash and save yourself a bit of time by cutting through a field, but next time try heading into and around the trees and make the long way around. It will take you "longer" but in hindsight it is much quicker than finding yourself back on the coast.

 

If you let your guard down in this game, it will penalize you sooner rather than later!

 

Keep at it Scott, it can be very disheartening at the start when your still finding your way. Things will get better with more experience as you learn from your mistakes :)

 

Good luck on your future adventures and don't give up

 

 

This.

 

Always pick a route that gives you the advantage should you run across anyone else or the one with the best cover. If you have to run across open cover, sprint and zig zag even if there's only one other person on the server. You might not think you'll bump into them but in DayZ, coincidences happen all the time.

 

Back in the mod, I was on a server that had 2 other guys on it. I was running across a field and what do I see, a guy running in exactly the opposite direction to me but about 100 yards off to my right. I stopped, aimed my Lee at him (at this point the last 20 "Friendlies"  I had shouted had got me killed) and he stopped and saluted, so I saluted back and we both went on our way. The map is 265sq km and we just happen to run by each other. Never think that you're safe on a low pop server.

 You respawned on the coast after you saw that you had the same toon, gear and all? I haven't heard of that happening--doesn't mean it didn't, just saying I never heard about that.

 I logged in one time and saw what was supposed to be my toon standing by the water on the coast. He was a fresh spawn... no quick-slots, etc. I'd read about that happening and knew what to do if it did. If that ever happens, do not tap Enter or move. Do nothing. Just hit Esc and go to a different server. Your old toon will reappear. If you move or go into 3rd person mode the game will Save and you're stuck as a bambi. I mentioned this on another thread but thought it was worth repeating.

God damn, just happened again. Got bumped by the server for ping issues my side, fixed ping, relogged to another server - bam, back on the coast with nothing.

[execpro22 128]

wonder it has become a KoS/PvP game now

That is about the only thrill left for most that play it!

 

I might as well join the masses and just hang out along the shoreline killing noobs and fresh spawners looking for food and water

becoming a KoS kinda of guy although in over 200 hours I have yet to kill anyone for any reason

 

 

 

Ahh so your true agenda comes out....

 

 

Great another KOS thread!

[P3Nn 53]

Ok,thanks for advice guys

 

I dont run over open fields in or around what could be percieved as hot spots

last death occurred in open field in very far corner of the map right near the maps border edge on a low Pop server with only two people

I have also had it happen with only myself on the server,I play extremely cautious.My last character,I had looted all three airfields,both military bases and made one total journey all the way around the map including the ghost ship.

 

Total of many many hours of playing that character,then on the very outer edge of the map with only one other person on that server with me,"black screen and "you are dead"

 

I say again,I am extremely cautious when playing,I have looted airfields,and military bases numerous times without problem and this happens in such out of the way places mostly that it seems to be a glitch in the game in my opinionSeems pointless to spend so much time on a character,to succesfully gather everything you need.Then continue to loot and replace all worn and damage items with nothing but Pristine items just to end up dead all the time in very unexplained ways!

 

I have lost characters with 100% Pristine clothes and items,compass ,three maps .45 and clip with .357 and sawed off shotgun

M4 with two scopes and plenty of good supplies like dry milk and cereal...all to end up with an unexplained death way up in the far corner of the map on a low pop server.

 

I only play when the server is low,prefering to play the same server until death once finding a smooth running server.Even so much as I will log on and play in very early morning hours when that exact server is low on Population.I prefer low pop as I like to play alone,and do notlike the KoS style of playing.I am well over 200 hours now and have still not killed anyone although I have had plenty of chances.

 

My last character ,along the shoreline I gave directions to a couple of new spawns where backpacks and other items were that I had found,shared water,pop and food with them.All to eventually end up dead in a very far remote location where I know forafact nobody in the right mind would sit there for enturnity trying to hope that someone would come along to snipe.

 

Maybe the once at the military base I died I was sniped....but again slim chance when only two or three people were on the server

No,this is a glitch in the game I have experience quite a bit in well over two hundred hours of playing

 

I am becoming extremely disatisfied with this game myself,and calling it an Alpha etc. all the time is just an excuse IMHO

Sounds like your misunderstanding, inexperience and blame is the source your dissatisfaction.

The game works, Yes it is a little glitchy here and there but surprise surprise ALPHA it's not finished yet.

I love the game. Will the game ever be completed? I doubt it highly...

Maybe you should go play Rust it's a bit less serious and you may find it more "fun" for your requirements.

God damn, just happened again. Got bumped by the server for ping issues my side, fixed ping, relogged to another server - bam, back on the coast with nothing.

 

Crap. Try logging out completely before going onto another server.

[Gruffallo 16]

I'm pretty sure you were sniped bro

[1S1K-Airborne 148]

You mentioned you were running in an open field...this is an open invite to get sniped, especially if you appear armed and may be perceived as hostile.

 

Welcome to the Deathmatch Permadeath KOS Standalone.

 

There's literally no reason not to shoot everyone you see.  It's all risk, no reward.  You risk DEATH every time you don't kill that person. 

 

If you get shot running through a field, not even seeing the person who shot at you, you were NOT a threat to them unless you were going to trip over them...........KOSers use just about any excuse to "why" they shot the player.  Acting fishy, didn't want to lose my stuff, wanted their stuff, had a weapon, looked aggressive, said the word "friendly", wouldn't surrender, etc.  Another long train of KOS excuses.

 

Unless they come up with an EFFECTIVE humanity system like the one below in my signature, the game will be 100% KOS.
