DayZ fun group!

my paranoia leads me to shoot everyone i see who is not obviously a friendly... but thats the way i got most loot.... machinegun, coyote backpack, nighvision, gps... all from fallen survivors who happen to have walked near my lovely hunting rifle ^^ but i feel really bad about killing people... i really do... but its so thrilling :D
currently i got really pissed off, when i got all my equipment, i really got everything i need, maxed out, and out of boringness i make stupid risky stuff...
only entertaining thing nowadays is to make stuff with friends when they are online.
i wish there could be multiple characters, so i could start a new one when i am happy with the loadout of my old one and want to start fresh whitoult loosing my old stuff...

I pretty much run around the big loot areas at night (sneaking when needed). I tend to avoid people I do not know due to being shot at too many times.

hey! id be happy to play with you some day, but currently the servers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around, so it might take a few patches until i can join a US server whitout problems...
but the game is awesome!
why dont we discuss some experiences here?
and what tactics you use?
i for my part tried to be very friendly first, but lots of negative experiences with others made me very very paranoid... especially when i got some good gear to loose!
on other hand i feel very very sad when i got no one i can share with... i know that my character will die sooner or later, so why dont share the wealth and have a good feeling?
sadly when im in a group we get very easy targets. its alot more difficult to be stealthy (what i usually am) than moving with a group of guys trough a city full of bandits and zombies...
