I think there should be a PvP mod for arma, because there isn't and the ppl that want to deathmatching come to dayZ. And, there is one important thing: DAY-Z: It should be a Zombie Apocalipse survivor, not a Bandit survivor game. Yea, banditry MUST be part of the game, but not the main part, this isn't a deathmatch (even if my signature says the opposite). Zeds aren't challenging at all (at now, i hope because it is a alpha). You fear them only because your shots could attract players, NOT OTHER ZOMBIES, and this thing is completely wrong with what we see in every zombie movie or series (except with "The dawn of the dead", where the guy on the top of the armory shoots just for fun into zeds, not afraid about attracting others because they were in every case too much, but not wondering about some bandit could hear him and snipe him with a m107 -just as an example-). There should be no thermal and night vision, or, at least have to change batteries, and make ammo rarier, triyng to incentive melee playstyle (even if arma is not designed for melee). I think there should be also a rare vaccine (like the zombrex in DR2) that let you live longer and make you move, it's easy to survive standing AFK into a bush in the middle of nothing in a 10 players night server killing pigs and taking water from lakes.

Stop posting against bandits. We are all bandits and this is a DM mod.

use mic on dir or q/e. But that's useless. Everyone shoots on sight.

Exatly. I died 10 times, 2 because of bandits and 8 because of respawning. Zeds are not a threat, once you find 2 entrance buildings and montains. You can run without pressure with a "zombie train" in your back, but you will feel your hearth rush when you'll hear gunshots. That's why this game is broken.

I got killed today with 0 murders and a lot of day count, because I stopped playing this game for a while because it's a boring DM mode. I restarted and found a friendly guy, which i killed as he tried to backstab me. I usually kill for fun to make this situation so worse so Rocked will have to change something in the gameplay to stop it. There arn't survivors. Only bandits. Tell me the differences between survivor and bandits please. One shoot on sight for not be shooted, and the other shoot on sight just because they are "bandits". WTF?

I spawned south to Berezino, and as I was pushing the "respawn" button, I heard "hey you, im friend! come in!". Wow. I began to follow this hatchet man, as at first I was looking for another hatchet to backstab him, just because I wanted him to open a new bandits-complaining's tread on the forum. But I didn't. We started cooperating and loot Berezino, I found a m4a1 CCO, a Coyote backpack and he got a silenced m9. When we left Berezino, he started to say that he has heard a gunshot, from a silenced weapon, to the north. Since I didn't hear nothing, we started approch a group of trees. He wanted me to check the north with my gun (that wasn't scoped), but i had the better idea to go west and avoid the sniper. In the meanwhile, I got stuck on a tree, so I disconnected and reconnected. He said that another shoot was fired while I was reconnecting. So, I started to feel suspicious. We run to a deer stand, i kept an eye on him, that was following me, and I saw him hide behind a bush. "They broke my leg" he said. I turned back, and a survivor jumped out the same bush, with the exatly black clothes and the same gun of my "friend", and started to shoot me. I started to shoot him back, then I went into the bush and finished him. My "friend" said that I killed him, and the other bad survivor disconnected... Strangely, I got a bandits killed +1, that happens only when you kill somebody that shoots you. Now, I'm still alive in Berezino. No sign of the sniper with the silenced gun and no one reconnected there. It was fun, expecially because i survived. Here it is part of the steam chat log after his dead, where i previously say that I killed him because he was backstabbing me. (im daki87 :D) .. Ruden: i liked u a lot DaKi87: well here we are again DaKi87: it's always such a pleasure DaKi87: remember when you tried to kill me twice? Ruden: ? Ruden: when ? DaKi87: Oh how we laughed and laughed Except I wasn't laughing Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice Ruden: i never tried to kill you DaKi87: You want your freedom? DaKi87: Take it DaKi87: that's what im counting on Ruden: :D Ruden: ? DaKi87: I used to want you dead Ruden: :o Ruden: when ? DaKi87: but now I only want you gone

it will ruin the game. I would like to still able to kill some one if i really need medicals and food (in case of extreme danger), and not to denied this by a sort of no-friendly-fire mechanic. You can tell me spawn like a bandit, yea, but then everyone will spawn as bandits and the game will remain the same crappy dm that already is

i'm not agreeing point 1 and 2, because it's only an alpha. But i can agree point three, dayz it's a deathmacth in a very big map, that makes you bored because takes a long time to find someone to kill.

You are new... You will be scared only by others survivors soon, just like all of us.

However, did you put all the enemies gear inside the car and flattened tents so they couldn't find nothing when they return?

cool, shooting on sight again... told you this game is a simple DM. But you both are justified, it's the game itself that doesn't encourage cooperation, they would have do the same.

just increase tents spawn. The day you find a tent you become less frustated by pkers that have ruined this game.

Bandit suit doesnt mean you are a bandit. First person that helped me was a "bandit", but he didn't ever shoot me in the back, or something. Bandit skin as a simple skin is ok, its cool and we need more skins, the civilian one is annoyng. The annoyng deathmatching nowadays should not be resolved by bandit suits intended as 1.5 and before.

I prefere a k/d rateo for overall (and deaths count only caused by players ones).

could be nice, but then many ppl would like to improve their record simply staing idle under a tree, instead of deathmaching...

I play on tag name enabled server. I use fraps and when I start to shoot someone I start record, so I can give a proof to ban an idiot. That's the only things that keeps me playing.

Turn a Dayz into a TDM? No thanks.

starving or alt+f4ckers? at least you havn't shooted on him. I did, in the same situation and he disconnected. No kill and zombies aggro. Sad.

KOS of course!

mmmm... What did you expect from a deathmach mod? At least you havn't encountered any alt+f4ers...

Do you ask "why you killing me?" at enemies in online FPS? Same thing.

I found a dead body with a ghillie on the inventory. I was wondering why he hasn't worn it, but I've put it on myself and PUFF! all equip lost. Logged off, relogged in on another server, i was bleeding, and i died because i couldn't find a bandage (I was far from towns) so i bled to death from 10k.

In real life, you can talk reading lips or making gestures. But making possible to listen groups of survivors talking or deny long distance communications, forcing arma voice system is realistic. So +1 (but it seems impossible to force, this is a PC and not -fortunately- a console).

Was giving you a like but then i see the hatchet proposal. Hatchets are everywhere, and a new player could see a youtube tutorial before gets frustated.

Go to an empy server, run to a place in the medium of the distance between you and your friend, disconnect and find a good server. you can tell your position via TS or Steam chat.
