Those times when you died and you don't know why

[DickCheney 74]

Anyone ever get really disappointed when that happens? Just happened to me, was in Berezino up on the top floor of a building, three guys with M4s were running around town being a death squad so I was just watching those stairs with my shotgun trained on the opening hoping I'd at least take a couple of them out. As far as I knew they had no idea I was there because I watched them run around from the window in third person for a good 15 minutes, I was prone in third person watching the only entrance when "You are dead", no sound, no person, nothing, I wasn't in view of the windows as I was laying prone, there was no way anyone could get a shot on me from the windows due to other buildings around.

 

Its sort of disheartening, I'm not mad that I died, I welcome death cause I enjoy gearing up, I'm just disappointed that I don't know what killed me or how, its so anticlimactic when your heart is racing waiting for someone to come into your building then it just cuts to black without you ever even seeing your enemy.

 

I wish it would tell us who killed us and with what. I know a lot of people will be against that because it isn't realistic but then again neither are third person view or zombies or starving to death in an hour.

I can tell you "who". The magic "fall through the floor" bug.

 

Yes, it can be frustrating sometimes, but it's stuff like that we agreed to accept when we clicked the alpha disclaimer.

Ah, the good ol' heart attack feature

[blowurselfup 54]

The game can sense your excited heart rate (through your mouse I suppose) and decides that you are better off dead then alive B) frustrating I agree

I would love a "kill cam"  because there are so many questionable deaths like did the fire extingisher brake my leg and then I fell down the stairs to my death OR did a sniper get me from the hill outside the window.

I hope the new death fade out fixes this. You should see yourself either hit or falling.

Yeah but see I don't know if thats it, every time I've had that bug I get a "My leg is in pain" "My leg is broken" as I die, SS related. There was no message for this, just dead, like I got shot in the head but you generally hear that don't you? If not the gunshot then the impact? Only thing I can figure is that a really calm and collected guy came around the corner while one of us was in desync, saw me, popped me in the head, and I died before he ever even rendered on my screen. Not super likely but its possible.

Yeah I think this will be a great feature, though I wouldn't mind being able to see who killed me, or at least with what weapon.

I posted about this six months ago and got a lot of griefers saying "its not realistic" and other stupid things. This is a game, its supposed to be fun. Wouldn't it be "fun" if you new what actually happened to your character in its last fateful moments?

i lasted exactly one second in a 50/50 server

 

cannot be a hacker because there are no hackers in dayz !

The kill cam is a bit too unrealistic tbh :D

But anyways the new "death cam" in the new build is pretty sweet because you'll see whether you got shot or just fell through the friggin fire station.

[kavemandayz 14]

I suppose there's a chance someone spawned in behind you and shot you in the head.

Good to see they haven't fixed the most critical flaw in the game. As a rule of thumb, when you are fully loaded don't go into any second story building. I don't.
