Died for no reason... My story :'(

[Shuriken333 20]

So, I was up near NW airfield. I climbed up a guard tower to take a look at my map and look at my compass to make sure I wasn't at the end of the airfield I was thinking I was at... and I died. For no reason. The debug monitor still showed me at 12k blood.

The story: I spent around 2 - 2.5 hours collecting materials so I could make the trip up there safely and surely, while enjoying the scenery on my way there and collecting various other items that I thought may be useful. Here's the supplies I had when I left: 5 morphine, 6 bandages, 3 or 4 painkillers, 2 heatpacks, 2 water bottles, a map, a compass, a watch, matches, a hatchet, a knife, military flashlight, M4A1 rifle with 6 mags, Silenced M9 (had a M1911 most of the time, until I went to Stary and found the M9 SD), and one frag grenade. I think that's all the supplies I had... or something like that. Was sporting the ALICE backpack.

So, first off, I went looking for a bicycle. I started at Elektro and made my way to the western lighthouse. Didn't find a bicycle, sadly. I treaded North past Pusta, investigating first, of course, and ended up reaching Kumyrna. That was my first time visiting ruins. Wasn't a planned rest stop, but it was there so I took the opportunity. My second stop was the green house between Novy and Guglovo, because I read of a bicycle possibly spawning there. Again, no luck. From there, I just scrambled around aimlessly, investigating various nearby towns to see if they had a church. Of course, most of the time it was just me picking up more mags for my M1911 or eating/drinking food/soda that I found. I ate enough food to make sure that I was at 12k blood for 99% of my trip. So anyway, I kept adventuring (thankfully, no arrows to the knee. /badjoke) and followed my map to Stary. That was the third stop I wanted to make. I got my M9 SD and was so happy about that. Only ended up with 2 mags for it, but nonetheless, my second most amazing sidearm. Would have been my first, but I found an uzi in a firehouse on a previous survivor. Eventually, I ended up going towards the NW airfield after looking over Stary. I seen some lookout towers, so I knew I was getting close. For some reason, I aimlessy went SouthWest, and found a barn. Didn't know where the hell I was, but I ended up making a fire outside of it and cooking some meat that I collected along the way to replenish my blood. Traveled back North and found the entry to the NW airfield. I didn't want to just run in there, in case there were bandits around, so I went up to a guard tower to check my map because I was planning on going around the airfield to find a nice hill to camp out on for a few minutes while I used my binoculars to scout the area of any bandit activity. Went up to the tower... and died. 12k blood still in the debug menu... No gunshot heard, nothing happened... My first DayZ adventure and I died from a bug after an epic survivor tale :(

I've been playing DayZ for 4 days now. At first, I died maybe 20 times before I found a single weapon. Slowly, I started to realize which places had good loot, looked up good loot locations and started becoming a friendly, adventuring survivor. I went out a few times, only to fight zombies and, in my noobish haze, would get my leg broken ~50km away from any hospital, and without packing any morphine before the trip. This was my first success and it was extremely successful... until the end...

Why does this bug happen? Is there a way to fix it? That ruined the last 1.5 days for me :(

Possibly a grenade as you die before you hear the explosion. But could be something else.

[Shuriken333 20]

Didn't hear anything, and I scoped out the area by zooming in before I checked my map... Didn't see anything. Not even animals or zombies.

Sniper, long shot, hit you in the head. Due to lag (server, sniper or you) the blood didn't change.

Sorry man, you went to a sniper hotspot and died.

I stopped reading at "So, I was up near NW airfield."

Jk jk... -_-;

Seriously though. I'm guessing longrange headshot. Happened to my friend there. .50cal shot from extreme range instakills and makes no sound.

sniped, scout before you go in don't go up a tower(exposed position) to scout

[bonafide 2]

you got your head shot off by a sniper.

And if this does not was a sniper, you just must get in your brain. Tis is a fking Alpha, in the Beta will still be bugs and if the game comes in Arma 3 it will be buggy two. So never get attached to your gear.

Id rather die like this then to die because dbag D/Cer moves to another server to take better position and then return to kill you. This server teleporting is my main gripe atm.

So, I was up near NW airfield.

u scared as i am yet :O

[Shuriken333 20]

No loss of blood, though? I've been head shot by a sniper at least 10 times. AT LEAST 10 times... and I ended up getting a negative blood count between 200 - 1300

[perestain 33]

Sniper or silenced headshot.

The blood display froze a few times for me too when I got shot. No idea why and under what circumstaces exactly.

I have another died for no reason story though:

I had a ghillie suit, mp5 SD and a PDW with lots of ammo, lots of bloodpacks, meds, and steaks.

I logged out in a barn on the first floor behind the hay.

I log onto another server, the building doesn't load, I float into the air, start falling to the ground and die - although I had 12k blood and would have easily survived a fall from the height where I logged out. And I had enough morphine to cure 3 broken bones...

When I return to the barn after about 20 minutes there is no body, I only hear flies.

I guess its best to only log out on ground level.
