400 blood and I'm trapped on a dock. Can't fuckin' move lol. Ouch. You dead yet? You gotta ask in the TL TS server pacman was there
Yeah I died. Dude named Lumire just helped me out. Gave me a gun and we started toward the hospital. Aggro'd zombies and I stupidly thought the gun he gave me would be a one shot kill. If you read this, sorry man! I'll make it up to you haha

lol no worries it was probably me who aggro'd them anyways. I was trying to wait to shoot my enfield because once i did like 10 more would come running towards us. I ended up getting the makarov + mags back after running for a bit into the wilderness then killing whatever zombies were still following me before heading back.

Almost got Dark killed by shooting my primary and aggroing all the zombies at a helicopter crash, and additionally aggroing all the zombies from the town 500m away.

So i was playing today, and I had just started out, found a revolver, then I saw a man in a ghille suit sneaking into Electro, so i followed him and when I got the chance I shot and killed him, turns out the big gun I could see on his back was a AS50 (a nice sniper) he also had a silenced M9, a lot of equipement (matches, range finder, night vision, etc) plus a coyote backpack... it was a good day, I just don't want to lose it now.

I don't want to burst your bubble but you WILL lose everything at some point no matter what unless you never play again.
Just how Day Z goes I guess. Good find regardless!

I'll just wait until I can play with my friends, and yes I will lose it, just I don't often leave the coastal cites so I don't have military grade stuff unless I kill for it, so I feel like I should be extra careful with this stuff

Are you allowed to only rampage? Then Ill get the game, get a sniper and sit in the same lame spot for hours

After got a nice set of gears, I went from Berezino to Palota. On the way their, I spotted a cow near a helicopter crash site (at the same time people TS also said that they are going to the crash site near the dear stand, so I thought they meant my area). Since my health is quite low, I decided to go and kill it. After I got the meat, I crawled (and evade nearly 20 zombies in that small area) and get to the helicopter. No loot, crawl out and got shot to death. Lost an Alice Pack with full stuff + a tent inside. Feel really depressed.
So I rerolled on the low pop server (like 5 people), turned out the server is in the night time but not very dark. Ran to Berezino from the quarry, and check on the first house. Found a ghille suit inside... Also, Berezino is very underrated. I got in with a Winchester and got out with an AKS-74U, Alice Pack, M1911 and full medical supply for a 3 hours scavenging. And it's really safe in the night because you can crouch walk around on the grass patch with 0 sight and noise, although you could barely see anything too. And in the low pop server, you pretty much would not see anyone there and it's really hard to spot other players during the night.

Could anyone tell me how loot respawning works in this game? I know heli crash sites just respawn on a different location when the server restarts, but when I take half of the spawned loot in a deer stand, what will happen next?

if you read the dayz forums you'll see this is a huge thing we're trying to STOP. part of what makes this game so cool is that people cooperate even when they don't have to. it's getting to the point now where a ton of people are just shooting on sight because the trust is being destroyed in this game.

I can understand why some people would like it to stop. But for me, its the only reason I play DayZ. I don't see why DayZ PvE is fun or challenging, once you got a weapon, basic med supplies and food it's nearly impossible to die versus zombies when there are no other players involved. PvP and PvE servers would be kinda cool tho, makes me kind of sad when I see I ruined someone's day... (Well not really my fault, if you hate getting killed in DayZ then dont play DayZ imo.)

1. Ninja your way through electro or cherno by proning
If you want to get sniped.... then sure...
Now adays, since you can juke zambies quite well is by just sprinting and doing a zig-zaggy pattern in case another person is watching... once you're inside a building, the zombie start walking, you can either run out the back or take them out there

This! Right Now I feel like the balance is just about perfect. Honestly I think it needs a few tweaks overall all and I will but just right like Zig Zaging Zombies wtf! I think they could add some more weapons to the game not more spawn locations just more types. I usually play solo but Ill join with TL people.

You need to take all the loot pile for another pile to re-spawn in, I'm not sure about the length of time but its less than half an hour. Just take all the loot, then drop it on the floor outside (the crap you don't want). Then you can do a circular route round deer-stands or something similar and get lots of loot pretty fast.

Asshole bandit story time:
So I was at the northern forest just outside of Cherno in the forest sniping away the other night with my CZ550 and logged off after killing one helpless nooby on the medical field tent roofs. Sorry guy, just couldn't resist.
Tonight as soon as I spawned I saw two survivors running east just below the treeline not 15 feet away from me. They ran basically right in front of me as I spawned. Naturally I freaked the fuck out but praise the bandit god they weren't paying full attention and didn't see me right above them. So I run with them in their direction, just a little bit up the hill and with some trees to hide me. I follow them from a distance (50m) for a short bit, lose track of them in the forest and hear a gun shot. At this point I think I'm totally boned but when I find them I see three of them now, with a recently shot sheep right beside them.
They've stopped moving which is basically every snipers dream, two females (one with aviators) and a male. The male is standing there doing nothing, one female is crouched looking around and the other is bandaging herself. I take my shot, bullet lands right in the guys face and he dies instantly. The one girl looking around books it immediately, the other is still bandaging herself while looking around everywhere. I shoot her, she falls to the ground. I take another shot, miss, take another, she's a goner. I run after the other girl. I didn't see what gun she had but didn't expect much. As I'm running after her general direction I get hit, lose 3k blood and bleeding but no broken bones or pain. Totally did not expect her to fight back so I run away, bandage the wound and continue the hunt.
At this time my internet disconnects and I'm frantically trying to log back in, hoping my character didn't get killed while I dc'd. I come back and try to find her. After a few minutes of re-enacting predator with her I get the drop on her only to once again lose connection. Fast forward a couple minutes and I'm back on, eager to try and finish this fight. I see the two bodies of her friend and figure she is most likely camping those bodies to protect them/wait for me to loot them so I run up the hill and try to get a good view. And lo and behold twenty feet below me hidden by a bush I see her in prone aiming right at the bodies. I take a shot and she's dead. JUST as I get to her body I see that her female friend with aviators has made it back here with no weapons. I take a shot at her with my CZ but miss and she runs away. I take her morphine, bandages and painkillers and toolbox and bury her body. Not too sure why I buried her body.. I went to the other bodies but was still having connection issues and the one aviator female was still running around somewhere so I decided to just run the hell away and log off.
Btw they all had semi automatic guns, fully geared (maps, compasses, toolkits on every one of them) and two out of three of them can get their stuff back since I left their bodies. Not sure if they were bandits because I still only have 8 murders and zero bandit kills but when I looked at their bodies I could hear their heartbeat pump really really fast.
tl;dr: Being a bandit is fun.

Does a server update wipe all current stuff? In other words will i lose all my progress and start all over once the servers go back up?
