flamegunner3457 6 Posted May 9, 2014 I would say I'm fairly new to Dayz, I've only logged 24 hours into the game so far. But I'm even newer on this forum, so hello everyone.I'd like to start a conversation on deaths in Dayz, more specifically the ones that you think were the most unfair regardless of what it is. No, I'm not complaining about dying, I love the game personally. I've died so many times after getting "geared" from simple things, so I was curious what others have experienced. I would say my two most unfair deaths would be:I was eating in a building on the second floor, once the animation started, I teleported backwards through the wall and died from fall damage.My second one would be:I was climbing down a ladder from the roof of a building and suddenly I got teleported 10 meters off the ladder to mid-air and died from fall damage. Moral of my deaths, don't eat high above the ground and avoid roofs and ladders. ~Flame 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazing87 14 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) -Connect to a server.Im good geared,hear footsteps in the same building and my screen freezes..5sec.10sec. you are death. Same happend to me too on the beginning when i was drinkin a fuc*ing soda on a little balcony,glitched trough and falled 4floors down. -.-. Connect to server..hear shots my screen is not ready..Only black screen "you are death". Edited May 9, 2014 by Blazing87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flamegunner3457 6 Posted May 9, 2014 I guess that is an issue when logging in. I would suggest like a 10 sec invulnerability when logging in. Every time I log in, I usually have a 5-10 sec freeze/delay before I can move/play. I've had similar deaths to yours because of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted May 9, 2014 Logging into a game, falling through the floor (I was about 3,4 stories up in one of the Hotel/Apartment buildings in Cherno), getting flung, and well, the rest is obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnabus 1708 Posted May 9, 2014 -Ran right through a window at factory. Died-fell from the cat walk in a small warehouse as I was spray painting my newly acquired M4. Died-Toon breaks legs, have no sticks, dump gear and suicide hoping I can get back to that location before server restart. Spawn a long ass way off but get back in time Sync issue, seems I cannot equip any of the gear, attacked by invisible zombie, die again. New toon gets there and sees toon that could not equip indeed has equipped most of the good stuff like the ruck and the M4. Can't loot body. DAMMIT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flamegunner3457 6 Posted May 9, 2014 So, non-solid buildings (fall through things), teleporting/flung, and magnetic items? I can relate Stryker7x, and Barnabus I've had the same thing happen with the items glitching.Most of my deaths are glitch related, very few are to players, maybe one to a Zed, and zero to hunger and thirst.

emigrates 261 Posted May 9, 2014 Just died twice in the space of 5 minutes. My reason for dying? Using a ladder. A god damn ladder. Both times my character decided to just take a leap off the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both times my character decided to just take a leap off the wall. Recommendation, in my experience leave ladders alone for now. They are buggy and have led to several deaths for me. I would assume the devs know about this issue. One time I was climbing a ladder with a Zed at the bottom, I was almost to the top and the Zed was still able to hit me. Apparently they can jump up 10 meters or have long arms. I have seen on the bug report page this issue, so maybe there will be a patch to just ladders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just managed to find a sweet spot that gives me a great sniping advantage in one of the major cities, but requires a ladder to climb :( Unsure if I should take the risk next time I'm there.

I feel your pain on the force fed stuff, it's not a great way to go. But falling off the roof?! It is risky climbing up roofs at the moment even if it is the best sniping spot. I would be too afraid of glitching off and losing all of that good gear.

I find that it is hard to find sticks for a splint or the morphine auto injector when it is most needed. My brother had his leg shot and broken at the NEAF, so there wasn't much we could do for it. We had at least 2 snipers on us. On 5/10/2014 at 12:26 AM, kichilron said: I forced an entire "Zucchini" down Orlok's throat once. :rolleyes: I'm hoping it was a fresh one.

Mister Friendly 2 Posted May 10, 2014 I was climbing a ladder to an apartment building instead of climbing though my guy decided to teleport about 10 meters out and fell to my death. Then at belota airfield i was looting in the bunker/jail on the second floor fell through the floor and died. I have yet to die by another player.... mostly just glitches lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had saw somebody in the town I was looting, so I started booking it in the other direction but I desynced and he sniped and looted me. While taunting me with incomprehensible words.

I've had similar deaths to yours because of thatIndeed, death on spawn is a issue, however the repercussions of having an invulnerability timer will be that players with better computer specs can exploit that to their advantage for getting the upperhand when ghosting.What I'd suggest is find a seriously secluded area to logout. Otherwise, the risks are always there. Well, isn't that the thrill of DayZ? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Element47 2481 Posted May 11, 2014 welcome to the forums! my most unfair death in the SA so far was on hardcore. I was collecting books again, and i was completely geared up, i mean i had all the good shit if you know what i mean: the new testament, brothers karamasov, even a pristine copy of moby dick. but i was starving. so i stumbled from one settlement to another, my vision blurred and monochrome, already fainting every few minutes from hunger.. finally, a house with a can of food. boy was i happy, my hands trembling with anticipation i start devouring the cold pasta when suddenly: server restart. 5 minutes later i find myself 300 meters away from the house, as hungry and battered as i was at that time. My heart beating, i rush to the house that had the delicious pasta but to my dismay, the server restart transformed the canned goodness into a black hoodie. a few minutes later i fell unconcious again and died.

umberfive 89 Posted May 12, 2014 Never had to experience such glitchy deaths, but once I spawned near Balota due to a server restart and had an instant death. No shots, nothing. For ladders and rooftops, there are no problems. My brother in law instead once ran to his death on the ship. His character did not stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
