he is working on it, in the time being go for head shots.

Being friendly and kind to everyone you see sounds like a real shitty way to survive a zombie apocalypse. better than being filled with guilt for killing someone' date=' who you don't even know. [/quote'] Who the hell gets filled with guilt over clicking pixels on a screen? Maybe its cause I'm thinking about the person on the other end of the computer and what they are thinking? maybe I am really RPing?

Teaming up lets you use blood bags' date=' bandage unconscious players, etc. It also gives you strength in numbers. Not to mention, playing with your friends is simply more fun. There are plenty of reasons to team up and have fun, if that's what you like doing, and there is plenty of fun in solo pvp hunting if that's what you like as well. As stated by rocket, this is primarily a pvp game, and that's not going to change. Ever. [/quote'] I'm not saying teaming up but being friendly and kind to players you never have meet before. cause coop incentives can be gamed by those you kill everyone not in their TS. The reasons to be nice should be made by the players themselves. Clearly right now' date=' human nature is playing out -- people grouped up with those they trust, and KOS others. <- read that wiki article, you might learn something. If you want to help newbies on the coast with meds, then DO IT. If you want to set up a checkpoint along high traffic paths to kill bandits and help survivors, then DO IT. If you want to set up a trade city which will offer huge incentives to non-bandits, then DO IT. If you want to play on a server where various groups/tribes/etc actually interact with each other, then DO IT. I'm sure we'll see better base building features, radios, etc. But none of that will change the fact that you're a bad player. This game has a pretty high skill ceiling in terms of tactics & strategy, and it's not going to hold your hand and punish the sniper that shot you while you stood still in an open field. Than all rewards for being a cunt should be done so by the player not by the game. And You know how many players I could have just killed with my l85? a lot but quite frankly I don't cause I don't see the use in killing them, plus those I've had to kill for shooting at my group or getting us aggro, i've felt bad about.

So you want a fps/rpg that isnt about defeating other players to improve your own character ? The game is about survival, yes you can get everything in the game by killing other players. You know what, thats what most FPS games are about. But i suppose you want this FPS game to be turned into a zombie grind fest with friendly fire turned off. Ummm. maybe you are misunderstanding my point. I'm stating that what reward do friendly players have that bandits can't game? Not much apart from a bit of trust. What should they have? So your saying there should be no reason in-game to be nice and all the reason to be a cunt?

But would it ruin dayz if say pvp wasn't the main thing to do at the end of the day?

I say lets make get rid of TS being allowed :D However yes, dayz focuses and rewards players killing each other more so than it does them being peaceful to one another. Now I like to see what would happen if the only weapon was melee, in terms of how players interact.

You're the one asking for the faulty system. There aren't faults in the system as is. All of the reactions are completely on the actions of the players' date=' not the actions forced by the computer. They have no outside influences based on appearance or action that causes anyone to shoot at that player on a character-by-character basis that a player doesn't choose. If a bandit wants to act genuinely kind and then stab you in the back after they have your hand in pact, they can do that entirely with how they speak and how they act. Any wavering is based on a survivor's opinion on their actions, not their outside appearances that were place on them by the system, simply because that's how the game thinks they'd act. In essence, the system is forcing you into a role. Which would pretty much kill the immersion for me. (Not simply because you're changing a skin, but because the game thinks you would instantly want to look like that, thus negating any use of subterfuge to out-trick the other survivors; this kills what I feel is a very important part of the social game in DayZ.) [/quote'] However the system is flawed cause it is more easily gamed than that of watching how someone talks, their tone of voice, how they move, etc. The subtleties are what give our words meaning or truth, without them words are meaningless.

so its better to have a faulty biased system?

game lacking rpg mechanics, features like being able to build your won fortifications/whatever zombies are not a tret that force players to coop in order to survive. all these problems must (and i hope will be) solved in order to have anykind of good game experience. i'm loneywolfing mostly so it's not a big deal for me, but game really lack that feeling it got before. How is it not immersive that people shoot first and ask questions later in a completely lawless world? Cause humans are naturally caring creatures and we enjoy each others laughter and happiness more so than each other's pain and misery. http://goo.gl/t9QTU also notice the small things that make rick believe this guy is a threat and tell me those things are in dayz. http://goo.gl/HhQOm

I think the problem is that dayz is missing a lot of the little sudtleties. If you watch the bar scene from the walking dead, there are a lot of little of things that scream this guy is not a good guy, which is what dayz is lacking.

direct chat (text) should have two modes; say 20m, yell 50m as well as common phrases as options in the comms menu. edit:

Maybe they shouldn't server hop high value military locations where some items are only available at and earn them legitimately instead of taking advantage of a broken system. Regardless' date=' it'll be fixed. [hr'] So your saying players who try to avoid PVP like the plague are playing dayz wrong?

However if we were to find some incentive that can't be gamed by bandits for playing nice than people will bitch and more that its the idea is anti sandbox because it makes playing the nice guy just as rewarding as being the asswhole.

I know right only retards play a zombie game to kill other players.

I guess because there is a chance you're about to be in a confrontation. He might pass by' date=' or you might be about to die [/quote'] But isn't that the true about any moment in dayz?

so why is it taboo to d/c if you even think someone is there?

yep the assholes haveteken over the mod :(

Oh young padawan, you have much to learn.

lost THREE, yes...THREE M107s and possibly an AS-50 in the last TWO days, because me & my co-sniper will double-hit a sniper that spawns in on the NWAF, and he'll somehow manage to abort. You can't lose gear you never had bro

No way its 15 mins, I've watched bodies at range longer than 15 mins.
