KoS newb!

Duh. Still needs to be fixed

Okay, I totally understand that you get pissed if you're shot by some KoS a-hole from a long distance. That would piss me off too. But seriously, I see way to many fresh spawns just sprinting towards me, just yelling "FRIENDLY!!!". What the hell do you think is gonna happen, if the player you're running towards is armed? I actually saw one guy, the same day I met someone who I've actively been playing with, in Svetlojarsk. I had a M1911 pistol in my hands, me and my friend were running towards Berezino, and it was on a 100P server. He came up to me and just started yelling "FRIENDLY!". As I am a hero in game, I didn't threaten him, I instead tried talking with him, but he kept on screaming "FRIENDLY". It was weird, because his accent was british, I'd reckon he understand us. Once he stopped yelling, I said that we were gonna go to Berezino and I suggested he could come with us. He didn't respond, he just kept on running in circles around me. Me and my friend ran away without him, but he kept on running around me. I told him to back off, because he was really annoying and I didn't want him to punch any of us. I pointed my gun at him, so he would understand I am serious. He said "Oh you're gonna shoot a fresh spawn you f****ng a-hole?" while following me, not keeping a distance. As he ran he kept on saying that until I pulled the trigger, and he fell to the ground as he said "You f****ng bandit shooting fresh spawns!!" Seriously? Things like this has happened many times to me. Just because you just spawned doesn't make you some sort of God, that I don't have permission to shoot without being an a**. I see people complain about KoS all the time, especially when they're shot as fresh spawns. To make a long story short, if you're one of these fresh spawns sprinting up to armed players yelling friendly, don't expect a warm welcome unless it's me you're meeting. Fresh spawns are still big threats, as 3 punches to the head knocks you out.

After the new DayZ experimental update, the rubberbanding is extremely gamegbreaking. I can't move 20 meters without teleporting back where I just was. My friend also has this problem right now so it's probably a global issue.

I'm not sure about you but I have the most fun creating groups of fresh spawns and get them all geared. Surviving as a group is about 100 times funnier than a 5 second adrenaline rush of killing a fresh spawns :D

Oh yeah, the coast is full of morons who seems to have an IQ of 90, but also nice people who might become your next fellow survivor for your group. Well, atleast I'm not there to kill, I'm there to make groups and or help people.

Why are you raging about me raging about fresh spawns raging about KoS?

Three words; Gamma and brightness

Honestly I dont trust people with green camo, or overall military clothing. Especially not those with gas masks or paypay masks. I always run around with "hero" clothes, if you will. It's basically a baseball cap, a backpack, a coloured check shirt, jeans or cargo pants that match the cap and some boots. Yeah I know, redicilous, but I like looking like a professional, not just the typical KoS bandit. I wish more people would dress the same

Since there are already two modern M1911s with somewhat similar skins, could you implement a third 1911? All you have to do is reskin it, I want this bad baby and I'm sure other do too.

In what region do you live? How good is your English?

Yo you look like a bandit

I go down to Berezino, find a group of either fresh spawns or survivors with mics, try and get them geared then just redo it all over again til we die. I once made it a group of 11 random survivors, all with mics. We all got seperated after a firefight though But I really suggest doing it, really entertaining.

Go up, Svetlojarsk and NEAF tend to have a lot of somewhat friendly non-freshspawns

So yesterday, me, my friend and Daz, who I met in game, were going to play DayZ. I had looted the NE/AF, got myself a SKS (I don't normally use rifles, since people will have a higher chance of killing you due to the rifle being a big threat.) I ran up to the unnamed town and I met someone with a M4 rifle. He didn't shoot me, but he ran when he saw me trying to run up and communicate with him, because I didnt see the M4 on his back. I never shoot at sight unless they're pointing a gun at me, or already shooting. I got contact with him, and we started talking. His english wasn't very good, or maybe it was his mic lagging. We were in the garages near the supermarket, and I took a shot. I was hit in the back probably, but I didnt go unconcious. My backpack was ruined, and so was all the food. To make a long story short, shorter than it is, we sat in the garage for a while. Later moved around the town, and inside a house, I felt that I could trust him.. Which you should never do, but it doesnt matter. I gave him my magnum with 12 rounds for it. He didn't shoot me, thank you if you're reading this. We went down to Svetlojarsk, and we met another guy, his mic was bad too, unfortunately. Now we were three guys, and I felt we could trust them both, we ran down the shipwreck to meet my friend I was skyping with. Nothing really happened, we were now 4 guys. We went into Berezino, because my friend Daz was joining and I expected him to spawn there. There was a lot of deathmatching in Berezino as usual. We were 4 guys as I said, and this black character runs up to us, not sure if his native language is English, but I could understand him. He kept yelling "Oh my god this is the biggest group ive seen, are you a group? Holy crap!" We talked for a sec, then I suggested he would come with us, he was happy and excited to come. I think he was new to DayZ. We ran up to the ship, towards Svetlojarsk actually where Daz had spawned, so we had sort of ran the wrong way. Daz met us, the current group of 5 players at the shipwreck, on the road where it crosses a railroad. Everyone of us 6 were hungry and I suggested we'd run up to Krasnostav, since the coast is looted, and we had to run through the airfield first. The black guy kept talking, and talking, and since we were all white characters, he complained about how we were all racist. I wasnt sure if he was joking, or just mentally challenged. I asked Daz in steam chat that if he found anyone misbehaving, he should tell me. He said "The black guy is annoying". I didn't reply. Since I was leading the whole group, I didn't really wanna put any pressure on anyone, or him. He kept on talking, contantly, I'm not sure if he was talking to himself or not. We were running up the mountain, after he had drunk in the Black Lake, towards Oshla. The black guy said that it was racist since you can choose a black character in the game in the first place. Daz answered him, with an annoyed voice, that it would be racist to not have the option to choose from a black character. I had enough of him, no one else in the group really said anything towards him, or answering his meaningless talking. He was quiet for about 5 seconds, then he said "I don't care, you're all racists, racists. Okay come on let's go - " I raised my SKS quickly, shot him in the back. No doubts of shooting him. I heard some of the guys in the group say "Finally". Daz said that he would only give our position away if he kept on talking. We later got killed at the airfield, all of us. Atleast me, Daz and my friend in skype. I hope the other two guys survive that a**hole in the prison at NE/AF... I'm wondering if I'd do the same if he was white.. Maybe I should have told him to shut the **** up? TL;DR: I shot the only black guy from our group in the back because he was talking.

I try to stay away from camo clothing as much as possible at the moment, and I don't pick up rifles anymore. I run with a backpack, chest holster with a pistol, check shirts, jeans/cargo pants and a baseball cap. I try to look as little a a bandit as possible, if you could look like a bandit. Assault vests are a no-no too. It seems to be paying out too, I've made a lot of friends recently, but I'm usually in high value cities by the coast. I help people, in hope to make a small change in the community. I don't like the whole KoS thing at all. I think people KoS because they are afraid that the other person will do the same, and have yet to meet nice people that will actually group up with them. I think, maybe, doing this will help people realise there are nice people out there. So what do you do, if you see someone, as I described to look. Would you shoot him on sight, or would you maybe say hi and see what's up, because he doesn't look like the typical "military clothing, KoS bandit"?

Nah. I met a hacker the other day in Berezino on a 100 player server. I had just made a big group of people, until everyone were dying from nothing in the group, they just fell to the ground. Turns out someone was killing us with an axe while invisible. He killed me aswell

Sorry but I always roll my baseball cap.

I hope this gets fixed aswell. It seems to be on servers that are basically full

You can't mix shit with something that's already shit

Fixed

Well I dont have a problem with that

Robocop has too much swag for DayZ
