Kozmas 30 Posted July 21, 2012 About a week ago, I was traveling in the woods when I came across what I thought was a group of players. I wasn't expecting to run in to people so I screamed like a girl and started going to town on them with my M249. They didn't react or anything they just stood there. Only odd thing is that the blue chat came up, which I thought was global chat, it said CEASE FIRE! Once I got closer, I noticed that all of them are dead, and there's a blown up UAZ right behind them. They were all frozen there, standing in a position like they were holding guns, which they weren't.I could loot them, none of which had anything of use. Typical flashlights and newbie starting gear stuff. I have absolutely no idea what happened to these people, or were they NPC's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninja! 6 Posted July 21, 2012 this happened to me while i got spawned in the empty land, i saw a group of "characters" from far standing around in a circle which kinda creeped the hell outta me. they had nothing on them just the starting gear so im presuming it was a bug or the devil has taken over the game.

Lin (DayZ) 22 Posted July 21, 2012 were they standing in a circle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kozmas 30 Posted July 21, 2012 were they standing in a circle?No, they were standing in pretty much a straight line. And dead people usually don't say CEASE FIRE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kozmas 30 Posted July 21, 2012 When you die holding a pistol your model gets stuck in a standing position sometimes.Well, that explains why they were standing up, but do you know why they talked? I know for certain that the server didn't have global chat. But it was in the global chat color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
