Certian playstyle like non-KoS? But curently game favors KoS playstyle and this is fair?

You can hide fnx45 or magnum in your pants, people will not know.

It will require about ~5-10 kills and it eventualy would work as intended. Just make it so: as survivor: - kill 2 survivors or 1 hero to be bandit - kill 2 bandits to be hero as hero: - kill 2 survivors or 2 hero to become survivor as bandit - killing bandits will not make you survivor - didyn't figured yet what bandit should do to become survivor again, maybe visit all churches on map or something like that. No humanity farming. Just numbers.

Good question. Maybe they are afraid that non-KoS players would had it easy to band together on bandit-skins? Who knows.

You can have option to use in-game clothes or be in your hero/survivor/bandit unique clothes. Ofcourse then you would have to assume that anyone that is using in-game clothes is a bandit who don't want to wear bandit skin or role player. It would be not perfect but it could end the KoS-fest.

I'm not gonna risk that someone who was bandit in previous life and now is respawned in shirt and jeans, to leave Kamyshovo alive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8oBWDKvRnc

I think it would be better for DayZ if you could actually interact with randoms thanks to humanity system/skins and know who did KoS and who don't. It would be better for gameplay in my opinion.

And what if he don't spot me? I'm not gonna risk revealing myself and being shot in face. I'm gonna KoS becouse it's safer to assume that person you see is a 'bandit', when there is no humanity system or skins.

But they all have a flag and sign on them now. Everyone is a bandit by default. This is endless KoS cirlce.

And what about newspawn in Kamyshovo? For safety I am forced to asume they all had gas mask, ballistic helmet, TTsKO jacket and got killed (were bandits), and I KoS them.

In mod humanity system was exploitable. Surivors needed to kill too many people to be marked as bandits and you could farm humanity to be a hero who KoS. With non-exploitable system (2 kills as surivor to be bandit, 2 kills of survivor as hero to lose hero skin etc with no humanity farming) it would be okay.

love it In real life you also don't respawn or can do infinite run. Don't do real life argument in video game. Video game has gameplay. And for gameplay there is a need for a way to distinguish bandits.

Today I camped military base, just north from Veresnik on low populated 1st person only server ( 2/40 ). Killed 5 server hoppers in a hour. All of them packed with bullets and food. Server hoppers are truly a great renewable source of items.

Perfect. PS. 7. Playing on first person only servers.

I play DayZ becosue it is the only game around that allow you to be actually a sniper and not marksman.

Public Hive Pros: - no power abusing admins and admin friends - no donator gear, donator bases/houses, donator helicopter etc. - no extra loot, buildings etc Cons - server hopping - no possibility to unfuck server after hacker attack Private Hive Pros - possibility to unfuck server after hacker attack Cons

I hide bodies only so the guy I killed can't respawn, go to his corpse and get his weapon back. Maybe add option "ruin all items" and voila, body can stay there but with all items ruined.

It is still possible to up gamma in video card settings.

Not really.

My vision of hardcore hive servers: Important: This is with having in mind that log out timer, hunting, vehicles etc. are in game and it is for gameplay not realism. Basicaly the idea is to make players fight for surviving as much as they fight with other players. To make game 50% survival 50% pvp. Features: - players unlock skills over time they survive. Being able to fix, use guns etc. takes time to be unlocked. You have to survive first to do it. - running ability limited. No ulimited running. - ability to sabotage and fix sabotaged wells. Sabotaged wells stays unworking throught server reset untill someone fix them. - advanced medical and injury system (injured hands, feets, legs, eyes etc). It will require more then just bandage up to be fully healed after being shot. Require assitence of other players. etc. -while fighting zombies in melee you risk infection. Killing zombies with bullets highly advised Banditry: - Sanity system. Player that kill other players will require more food,water and medical suplies. This is to make being "bandit" mean something. To be bandit it will require effort and skill. Bandit will be a person that put some effort in killing others and not just a guy that run around and KoS. This will also encourage people to capture and rob, and to be captured and robbed rather then KoS. Something like that I would call hardcore.

I was thinking about people that will play at night without nvg or gamma exploiting.

Nope. Becouse many people combat logout way before any shots are fired.

Yup. As I said only people that will play at night will be noobs, people with nvg and gamma exploiters. Night time will be good only for role play servers.

Becouse their life is worth nothing. They can pick up loot in ~30 minutes. So it does not matter how long your character live becouse you really don't get anything more then you can get in ~30minutes. So mostly character life is worth ~30minutes. Maybe if we get beards growing over time then character life will go up a bit.

I agree to this. When sun moves you can use your position to adventage to be have sun blinds your enemies etc. But when sun stays at 12:00-14:00 all the time what's the point. Having watches has no point too becouse of this. Servers should enforce night time.
