But you can't take part in a community if all you do is shoot people on sight, there there will be no community, so advertising for a murdering bandit is not needed, you just need to make it happen.

I would not use the word naive noob, but your words not mine. hard for me to judge how many hours you've had from looking at text, sorry if it offended you though. speaking of glitch, i died of one this weekend, tried to climb down a tower on NEAF and instead my charactrer launched into the air and jumped out and landed on the ground below...dead of course. So yeah...that was a little annoying, not because i lost gear, but because i used a lot of time getting there from the far south-west. I met one player there that i aimed at inside the building, but he instantly put his hands in the air and laid down on the ground so i said "hello there" and backed out..but i died of the glitch soon after..so yeah, i know what you are saying. That guy in that house probably was happy though, got a new m4 rifle at a lot of other military grade equipment :) The first character i had in SA, when i was on my way to cherno for some food, i noticed 3 guys in the distance, i just sat down next to a tree and watched, until they just stopped and suddenly all 3 ran my way, i ran like a little bitch and hid in the bushes 50-100m down the hill. damn the adrenaline was pumping haha, love it when this happens. They never found me though, but i heard them looking around. Thank the forest it was a very thick shrub and bush cluster there.

Great attitude! But remember that this is a game and most people will kill you for your stuff, so sometimes if people cannot be avoided, they need to be shot. I used to think like you do, but then i got killed to many times after helping people so i fell to the dark side, i still try not to shoot people for nothing though, but if a guy with a gun runs into me in a building or so i will need to pull the trigger. My longest survival as a friendly character was about 37 days i think and i played a lot on servers with a lot of people, but i seldom helped anyone, i hid or snuck past most people because i knew that in the moment i started helping i would be shot dead and some a-hole would run away with all my stuff. Unfortuantly, killing is the easiest way to survive, thats why everyone is doing it. Adding a little more zombies and respawning now and people will need to be a little catious, especially now that the zombies are not slowed down inside buildings.

Not just you, it feels different and because you are probably used to about every other game. Arma/Dayz got it's own thing here, after a while you get used to it. At first when i started playing arma 2 i thought i had low fps, but after measuring the FPS i was certain that was'nt it. The character just does'nt instantly stop when you move around like they do in most other games.

Hmm interesting, i think i stand between these opinions. I kinda agree with you, but the fact that people are more bold in the way they act because there is no consequences of dying other than loosing some gear. And people need to stop seeing bambies as new players that are harmless, most of them are actually just other players who died and will probably kill as soon as they get a weapon. Not saying you should camp the spawns and kill, that shit is not even funny..or it would be for the youngest maybe. What i do like about the roleplay part is that people would make it interesting other than playing crappy music and wiggeling (even though that was hilarious for a while as well) "I will wiggle for you good sir!". I love the fact that people might roleplay, what i hope the most from roleplay is not stopping the KoS or assigning roles, but that people would capture other players and that the other players actually play along instead of getting jacked by pride and logout. So i think a roleplay server could be a good idea, but not with restrictions, but the label "roleplay" should be enough for that kind of people to gather there i think, i know i would, but i would not stop killing a potential threat for that reason, you have a weapon i kill with no warning if you see me, i may order you to put down your weapon if i know you can't see me and i might take your stuff, or sometimes i run around beeing a doctor for people...it depends on what character i have decided to play. Love the idea of RP, but please, no rules, as this guy said, the essence of the game is well....no rules :)

That would actually be a great challenge, thumbs up for you!

Nice guide, really appreciate this!

Nothing to prove here but your narrow-minded delusion that suggest your opinion to be the definitive answer to all DayZ players. Thanks for sharing a narrow-minded opinion that was a total waste of time.

You fail to see the big picture.

Hmm im starting to see how boring people are in this game, no interaction, just shooting for no good reason. Should be some kind of steam player statistic so others can downrate other players to the point where their assholeness makes it nearly impossible to enter servers that require a good player rating. Fuck shooting skills and welcome people with social intelligence, let's have people that does'nt suffer from anti-social personality disorder. Beeing an asshole player should have consequences. Im all for killing in DayZ, i don't even mind some KoS, but this is just pathetic.

Woah, i know how you feel, i almost exclusevly play during night because it is more exciting..the thought of someone who might see you when you run around with your flashlight. This is why i play Dayz, if the only thing you could aim for in this game was shooting other players, i would not play it, for that kind of action i play arma 3 or battlefield 4. Good story!

Yes, also if you had to charge your attacks for more damage, meaning you could just one shot a zombie with any melee weapon given enough power. And some weapons would be faster than others etc. They could just as easily use the system from Wotr and Wotv. The melee system in wotv is awsome apart from some of the strange hitboxes.I played M&B for years and WotV was the first game after that that made melee satisfactory..all other games just did'nt cut it for me. But i digress, anyways more melee combat in this game would be awsome, im not gonna complaining to much, because Dayz SA's melee system is far better than the mod!

You elitists and your tough guy act haha.

I agree, some more interaction would be appriciated from other players regardless. At least the kill would be funny if it was some sort of interaction..apart from those "just shit my pants" kills where players just get startled and as a reaction pulls the trigger.

Not sure why you put all roleplayers in the noob category, thats a little ignorant and narrow-minded don't you think?
