I saw that show too. Which is also said that these successful business mean were psychopaths in one way or another. They are also not the norm when it comes to society. Killing a person in a game and in real life a two very different things. As I said, it's hard to predict what humanity would do. Take New Orleans as an example. It got pretty chaotic once people started looting and such. But then you look at Oklahoma and after a massive tornado people help eachother, share food, and offer comfort. I believe humanity has evolved to a point where we no longer rely on our primal instincts and would be able to recognize that working together would create greater outcomes than just mowing down every person you saw. But lets be honest here, most of the people who play this game don't have fully developed brains. Which isn't abnormal. Hell, even I don't have it. But with a maturing mind comes a greater conscience. Sure, throwing snowballs at cars when I was a kid was funny, but now I realize that that was an ass move and dangerous. And if the bad guys are so strong, how has the world become so developed? Comparing the world today to the late 19th century/early 20th century, society as a whole is both more accepting of different views/beliefs and less discriminating as a whole. If humanity is so evil, why do we seek to make our selfs and the society we live in a better place for all?

I concur. Especially since DayZ obviously takes place a few weeks or months after the initial outbreak, I'd even dare to say days due to soldier bodies and heli crashes. Societies and personal morales would not break down immediately. You'd always have a sense of danger when around a stranger, but it would not cause 90% of the population to start death matching eachother. I'd wager that people would try and establish groups more than camp big cities for unlucky survivors. Safety in numbers.

Use DayZ commander and filter for Official DayZ servers (I think they have something like clouds next to them). You can practice with a sniper rifle by using ArmA 2 mission editor on default ArmA 2. Server hopping is going from one server to the next to look for players and is frowned upon, especially if you're squatting.

Ignore KoS, I'm almost certain he's a troll. Anyways, there was a big discussion on human morales already and even though I argued humans do not enjoy killing, no one will truly no until an apocalypse ever happens. Greed is usually the dominant factor in most crimes, but that's only because society has built up certain items as important and whoever has more is doing better than someone who has less (like a good car vs. a bad car or a lot of money vs. no money). In a zombie apocalypse food and ammo would be the most important thing in DayZ to own, while your life would be the most important thing to protect. In reality though, a majority of people in DayZ do not kill for food or ammo. They kill out of paranoia because of what you proclaim. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, killing for items, because it does. I'm just saying, most people do kill in DayZ out of either paranoia or simply because they're bored. It's not like this is a new issue. Ever since I joined there have been threads hating on bandits and KoS. Most people don't want gameplay mechanics to limit someone's play style but lets be honest. Most PvP that happens in DayZ is just to PvP.

Yep, things like that could happen. I don't see a downside to these mechanics, only the hundreds of possibilities.

Have you tried different servers? Do you use a launcher and if so, which one? Do you have the latest beta patch?

They could solve it in two ways: 1. Make it so in order to build a structure, it takes time and dedication, therefore limiting structures to dedicated players/groups. 2. If it has not been accessed in 3 days it crumbles, but is still accessible but not repairable. Then maybe another 3 days later it disappears. Both of these could prevent "server hoppers" from building bases on a ton of servers and keep players dedicated to one specific server. I personally hope each server has its own hive, because server hopping was a huge issue in DayZ's beginning months. It would also prevent people from having one base on server with a ton of supplies and hopping to other servers to make outposts of sorts.

I get a bigger rush playing some paintball than shooting unsuspecting survivors :P. I think it's more exciting to interact with people and have the skill to avoid/flip a situation. I'm getting nostalgia just thinking about the good 'ole DayZ.

You either scripted or downloaded a malicious program that stole your cd key. There is an improbable chance it was an accidental ban, but the only way to know is to contact Battleye. We can't help you here :/.

Nah, active admins on the forums mean they care about their servers image which means its a decent server. I have to disagree with you on avoiding the server.

Don't be stereotypical. If you truly want to be a bandit, try actually challenging yourself and robbing people instead of shooting unsuspecting survivors. If you die, you need more practice.

2:30 "is that you with the gun?" Great way to identify each other :P.

And so am I. I'm a believer of second chances, but only when earned. Making a forum account a forum account just to ask if he's in the clear to play again is not earning anything. His only posts are on this thread.

Once a scripter, always a scripter. The only reason he even made a forum account was to ask if he could still buy the game. He didnt make it to apologize nor does he really feel sorry. If your fooled that easily then I've got a friend who's a Nigerian prince and would like to talk to you. no ur dum Yes, I'm the fool. Which one of us was global banned?

You tried too hard, I can see through your trolling ways and can tell you spell like that on purpose. Not really funny, but I guess everyone has their ways.

Got any... Jokers? Hue hue hue hue. What could be better than a can of soda, a campfire, some warm beans, and a very aggressive game of Go Fish?

Mini games in the sense that they are a gae of sorts within a game that takes user input to complete.

Yeah, that's why I used the quotations, because I couldn't really think of a word to describe them as. Time-wasters, maybe :P?

Yeah, after getting into paintball, where cleaning your gun after every session is important so if imagine a gun that possibly has gore and dirt all in it needs a good cleaning or it's going to jan very easily.

I agree.

Exactly. I mean Jesus, Rocket can even make an option to disable it if you are bothered by having a realistic ability to feel weight.

Your videos aren't the only thing boggling my brain.

Personally, they look nothing alike. They probably took inspiration off of it since its a good UI, but they're definitely more different than similar.

Tis truly a sad day.

Same. Live and let live. You're not proving anything by going on those servers and killing people, that's just everyday trolling.
