Rivy

The game is not "all about being anonymous". It will be even less so in standalone if we get that "bloody hands thing" Rocket mentioned.Just like people saying "the game is all about pvp". No it's not. It's about survival, pvp is one of the threats but it's not the main focus.

Why do people claim "the game is all about xxxx" when it's not ಠ_ಠ

Oh I got it. Add grenades to the game so you can pull the pin as your last action and then the bandits lose all your gear because you explode. There, 99% kos fixed xD (I'm jk)

I beg to differ, it's not real PVP, it's survival with freedom of interaction between players. Players make it PVP or not.And regarding the "experiment", I don't think DayZ can be compared to real life at all (zombies aside). In real life there's this thing... fear of death, which many people don't have ingame because they can respawn. That and human empathy, which is already minimized on the internet, fades even further in a game. Add that up and you get the current DayZ deathmatch mode. John Gabriel's Greater Internet Dickwad Theory + survival = the current state of the game. ^This ! this this this this

I use 3rd person for everything but shooting or navigating buildings. I do get the whole immersion thing, but the game would look so boring (and even more clunky) if it was forced to 1st person. My opinion on the matter is the usual: make it an option for servers :T EDIT: also for all those who want it to be more "realistic" and ditch 3rd person, your real life awareness is closer to the game in third person since your field of view is way larger than what any 1st person game offers, also, moving your head/torso around is easily accomplished irl without loss of attention to other details while looking around in Arma2 isn't as organic. Don't use "realism" as an excuse, if anything, this game makes it very difficult to do stuff you would barely have any problems doing irl (picking stuff up, drinking while walking, etc).

Sadface. All the servers in my pve-only list are gone :<

November ? That sounds too good. I hope it's not in Valve time :T

I don't think that's "symbiotic" if one playergroup could have fun without the other. It's more like a parasitic relationship if you ask me.

Any death being bad for everyone ? I like that :P And the fact that it adds a global objective sounds neat.

Will try to add to the withSix-thing right now :o EDIT: aww my ping to this server is so high :< EDIT2: ohh Germany. no wonder !

Are these still on ? :3
