KoS'ing is not banditry.

You know Dean Hall didn't make the map, right?

It's really not a 'beautiful game'.

Coudn't have said it better myself.

Stating something that a) everyone already knows and secondly is written in capitals all over Steam's DayZ store page serves no purpose whatsoever.

Yeah your sig is the shit. Like, literally.

As long as people have the ability to kill on sight and combat log they will do it. Don't see the need for the endless debate.

Gah you beat me to it.

Then you should know that you can play however you want. You don't need to justify your playstyle..

It's only fair that would happen, if you ran into someone like that. What's not fair however is watching someone over said shelf and having the time to decide wether or not to engage, since you have no right to know if they are there. The other 50% is watching other players unfairly from behind cover and waiting until you have the drop on them.

Can't help but wonder how much the rate of KOS'ing would drop if people wern't able to see around bends, over walls, shelves etc.

I gave beans at..

Don't really think they can remove a viewpoint that's already been implemented. Even this early on in alpha.. I think too many people already depend on it and the whining on the forums would be unbearable. Hell, i'd probably enjoy reading KOS threads.

Are you saying because you like something, everyone else should be forced to do the same? edit: need sarcasm button on forum please kthnx. :)

Similar system used in Project Zomboid. It's top down isometric view, and as you rotate around the zombies just vanish from screen unless you're looking at them. So as you run in one direction you have to constantly be looking over your shoulder. Takes a bit of getting used to, but works really well. As for the third person view.. I consider it metagaming. However i will use it as long as others are simply because it puts me at a disadvantage otherwise. I say do not remove it completely, because as stated before some people are dependant on it.. just open some first-person only servers and put everyone on an even playing field. For the love of god please don't call them 'hardcore' servers. We don't need any more pre-pubescent elitist behaviour..
