Great post, Aaron I extremely agree with your statement about the domino effect. Now I think that is really the underlining issue with most complaints about PVP. Also This thread needs to get sticked or pinned again.

read the post, again

I found a heli crash with only ammo cans(all 7.62), and I had a cco, so it was completely useless to me.

Fast loot and meet other players

well arma 2 is still amazing without dayz

So what I see is this, they shoot you become they don't know if you'll kill them... if you make your intentions clear, you just painted a red target on your head saying kill me. I'm sorry if i'm understanding that wrong be it seems likes a lose/lose situation and avoiding other people seems like the preferred option. Also I play friendly because I don't see the point in shooting someone who is no immediate threat to me.(ie shooting at me or my friends.)

why not focus on things like the undergound bases and better comm systems first :)

When I do play night I use flares, because flares counter NVGs.

I personally would have loved to dealt with the same people as you. cause than I must be pretty unlucky :(

class name still cut too deep?

"sometimes good smaraitans" - how often does that happen in-game without outside help?

How about movable cover like car doors? I mean sure it would be more noticeable but now they have to get a better angle on you.

- Game purchase only - Mix of both? no publisher influence - both - Kickstarter

as well as the fact that some players would try and server hop just to tear down for the lulz/ being an asshole.

no need to uninstall OA... just sign into other steam account and show cd key for OA and copy to clipboard.

The only issue I have with it is that unlike other guns it causes infected to spawn and auto aggro you (or it used to).

Even though I'm not at your targeted crowd, I'll try and help you out. Okay? So zombies while can be challenging are only around towns,cities, and buildings. Now zombies are easy to avoid once you learn how their AI works. So with zombies no longer a threat, getting loot is easier and the only thing stopping them is other players getting to it first or other players killing them. Now some player have opt for the easy solution and decided to treat other players as loot chests instead of real people.(or that is the vibe I get from the forums.) Now not everyone treats other players like that but they don't know if you do or not and such a paranoia has fallen over the player base with no global way to help players figure out your intentions. I know the forums have a sign and co-sign with thunder and lighting. But nothing for friendly or medic or what have you because the system can be easily abused. so than like zdb said its really the players like i used to be a call for ways to punish PVPers but really just like Zdb said there just need to be more systems in play that require more players.

Nope E-2 :) and I know I look like an idiot. (the forum wasn't letting me use my old image.)

leave the server and come back it should fix the issue.

nope but it would be cool to be able to reuse tents/tank traps/c-wire/bear traps.

depends on what I'm doing, if I'm playing with a group I will open it up and mark a way point on a custom layer and route a path to it. (since waypoints in game are available to everyone.)

I love this idea... everyone like the first post :D

Good now use in-game chat

Well the data is accurate in what it actually tracks, as in deaths of players who have tried to survive (which if I'm correct 5+ counts as an attempt). Now yes players are still D/C and patching up but they do still live and those who do die on reconnect are counted as deaths (maybe not to pvp but they do die.). Now if it did count spamming deaths than not only would average life span be shorter but the death would be inflated.

However your number one could be used for ghosting like purposes depending on the range.
