Now that looting towns is so "risky" due to the Zed threat..
Irish. posted a topic in General Discussion
Do you think people will realize how much easier it is to KOS for gear? See, you could loot a town for about 40 mins.. spend about 35 of that axing or shooting zeds. And end up with 2 sodas and some ammo for a weapon you do not have.. (yes, it may go much better or much worse than this example) Or you could shoot that player over there.. run from the zed's that may or may not spawn off of your gunshots.. circle back and loot his body. All in about 5 mins tops. So rather than people killing as an end game and due to boredom.. maybe BIS just gave us all a real reason to KOS.. Survival. -

So I thought having a ballistic helmet, that has large medical crosses on it would make a great addition. Sure its something that a bandit could put on to try and trick people.. but for the genuine medic, having no weapon in hand, and a medic helmet on may mean he is able to apply help to wounded players without being shot at. For the fake medic, the weapon would be a dead give away.. This could be applied for other styles of gameplay. Heroes can have things like Cowboy hats to identify them to unknown players. Bandits have the masks to wear and military gear. If we added in new things like Hockey masks, Police hats, Riot Helmets, Clown masks, Nurse cap, Doctor cap, Medical Scrubs, Police uniforms, Priest Vestments, Full UN uniforms, Medic Shirts/jackets, etc.. then everyone would have a way of saying to others, "hey, this is how I play" just by being dressed a certain way. People could make better judgements on whether to approach a player or not. I know, people can exploit the hell out of this. But as it is now, there is no real way of saying who you are to others. When I stalk another player to see if he is a threat or not, it takes time but you can usually tell how people move about. Now if I see a guy wearing medic gear, with no weapons, and I only see him loot the hospital and grocery store than I can assume he is friendly.. much faster than if I just started watching him. Its not flawless, but at least its a start in being able to tell other players what you are doing here in Chernarus.

I really got a kick out of doing my "soup man".. I have to do it again and tape it. In fact, I will just as soon as the Exp. servers go up again :) -

Have you tried the "control" of finding a backpack, not putting a bible in it, and logging out to see if that pack is still there 20 mins later? -
Are you kidding me?! That title is what brought me here in laughter.. but sadly the laughter was not contained within said thread. Only the title was epic. :(

Okay, so this happened on the experimental server that had essentially the same patch at the time, that just came out on stable. Full server. I spawn in fresh just NE of Elektro. I take a path through Elektro, Cherno, and Balota airstrip. Right through the middle of town, on the main roads, and right smack down the center of the airtstrip in Balota. Not a single fuck is given.. I dont even hear or see signs of players. I end up all the way out at the far Grocery store on the edge of the SW coast. I decide to start engaging zeds to see how dangerous this new spawning is. I have no melee weapons yet.. LOL. I should have known better to go fisticuffs with zombies right after they added in respawning. I swear I lasted about 27 rounds with that bastard. His friends kept joining in, essentially jumping me. In the end those sons of bitches overwhelmed me. I went down swinging and cursing though.. I can only hope someone heard me. So I spawn back in and decide to go see if the towns are dead again.. Immediately this time I hear shots upon entering Elektro. So, I decide to do what I do best. I take my clothes off, I pick up a large cooking pot and put it in my players hands as if its a weapon or Im making soup. I head straight towards the gunshots. See the bandit pickin bambis off with his M4. It looks like he has gone full postal and is just raging on anyone he sees. So I head towards another player to see what his deal is. I offer him some of my delicious soup in my best Russian accent. He asks me to kill him, but I explain my soup is not poisoned and as he can see I am naked and only can offer my soup. We chat, and I make him laugh a few times. I proceed to tell him that Im going to go visit the bandit over there killing people, maybe I can get him to come kill him. He crawls after me for a bit as I head off to this bandit guy. I approach him directly and am able to just walk right up behind him while he is killing 2 guys running down the road. I offer my soup to him in a loud, very surprising Russian accent. He spins around so fast I think he shit himself.. then he just stares. Looks me up and down like, "Wtf are you doin'?" .. I keep telling him about my delicious soup and that he should really try it out for himself. I also tell him that a poor fellow needs a round or 2 to the head just down the road.. his legs are broken. The bandit just turns around slowly, and proceeds to finish off the 2 guys he had wounded and were bandaging on the road still. Then just ignores me.. the nerve of the man! So I go back to my suicidal friend. Help him die via zeds, and get a bat from another guy who heard I wanted to go visit this bandit again. I go back to the bandit.. I cannot believe he is in the same spot, somehow still has rounds to fire off every 2-5 seconds.. I say, "hey my friend, I have brought back my soup for you!" ..and quite predictably he ignores me. I then beat him to death with that bat. Mercilessly. Spinning in circles, him firing off rounds until it emptied.. me saying over and over, "YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED MY SOUP!" I then escorted a bambi nearby to his body and told to him to loot his gear and make a run for the hills with it all. He did, I watched him leave on top of the firestation and then leaped to my death :) -
My wife strongly disagrees :P

There are a ton of official servers that you do not have to worry about this on.. if someone wants to pay $70 a month to have their own little oasis let em. Its a waste of their time and money.. and a serious waste for anyone else to actually care. If a server says kick if join.. dont join. If a server kicks you.. dont joint it again, ever. Simple solutions.

Now that looting towns is so "risky" due to the Zed threat..
Irish. replied to Irish.'s topic in General Discussion
My first line is very relevant.. Now I have to go on my rant about this man.. fack. ;) Clothes have nothing to do with Zombies.. why add them in an early release alpha? They know clothes work. Its silly. They are adding things like this in to keep people happy.. to keep sales going. Thats it. Its not for development and testing purposes. They skipped the part they should have got right first: Zombies pathfinding and collision. Why did they skip it? Because they did not know how to fix it. Why not then focus on player UI, and movements.. Core game mechanics not related to the physics? People respond, "artists don't do that stuff".. Well, do you know how small the team is that is on Dayz? Its not like they have an army of artists and 2 programmers. They made certain choices that come off much more financially minded than getting the project on its correct course. When Rocket said the game was fundamentally flawed, I really think he meant the zombies were totally broken and they did not know how to fix it on top of many other things. So why, if they did not know how to fix it are we here now? I mean this alpha.. it was supposed to come out last december. Do you remember that? It got pushed back a full year. And when it got released... do you remember a ton of info leading up to its release letting everyone know? No, because it did not happen. Now why, would you not promote the final release of the Dayz SA alpha that had been pushed back and had people waiting for so long? Because it was a last ditch effort to save the project. Thats why. Rocket was at the end of his rope, the game was nowhere near finished. Things had been pushed back for too long. The core mechanics were no where near what they should be, and the stars of the game were completely unfinished in almost every way. Now we all know Rocket is leaving. It would have been sooner if that alpha did not sell well. It sold well enough to bring in fresh blood and to hopefully get things fixed. I have faith in BIS overall... but I understand it takes them massive amounts of time to get things done also.
