Server hopping is legit. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it. The answer is fix the loot spawns. Don't like server-hoppers? Kill them.

Look, I'll make it simple. In "the real" world it's easy to conceal yourself. It's an ambush world. The arguments I've see from 1PV are "come out and fight." Sorry, that's not "real world." DayZ isn't open field military. It's guys sneaking around and shooting you in the back. If you allow that to happen to you, you get your chance only if he misses. He has to come into the open to fire. Up to you how you handle it. Despite your contention, there are no missing bricks and dirty windows in DayZ. Not one brick wall you see through. Not one window you can be behind and not be seen. Not one bush or brush pile near a house to conceal yourself. Totally unlike the real world. 3PV compensates for that. Not perfectly, but 1PV is even more unreal. 1PV is better for teams of wannabe military and twitch shooters. 3PV keeps survivors alive. Or gets them killed if they're not cautious. I'm not military. So I want the advantages of concealment the real world would afford me. Frankly wouldn't want to play without 3PV. Like I said, add in concealment mechanics, and I'd play 1PV. As it is, I see no benefit to it. Oh, I like looking at my ass, and I'm a sissy, so give up on that.

I was quite clear. In a ruined world you can see through walls. There are bricks missing, or wide cracks in the mortar joints. Window are dirty. You can see out, but not in. A sniper can cover himself with brush. In a real world, somebody can be watching you, and you can't see them. I want DayZ to replicate that before it removes 3PV. You don't want it real. You want it easy.

You can't.

Wait a minute. First fix the lighting, so an ambusher can conceal himself. And let the ambusher dig in, and conceal himself with brush. Real like, you know? You want everybody in the open. A good old fashioned shoot out. Ain't gonna happen in this DayZ world. Sorry if it's hard, but that the way it is. There are ways to avoid an ambush, but if a bullet is waiting with name on it, so be it.

In real life - especially in a ruined world - walls have holes, window glass is dirty. There are a million places to set an ambush. You 1PV guys don't like that. You want a "fair fight." A real shootout. LMAO. Hey, maybe somebody made that game. It's not DayZ.

I like 3PV. Including the "exploit." That exploit is just like real life. Somebody watching you, and you don't know it. Do you 1PV people actually think current 1PV is "realistic?" Get real.

"He said." A fellow just posted this: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=lUemS9rpOE4 3PV. Didn't see the guy laying right next to them. This Dslyecxi guy likes 1P. Good for him. Seems the 1P guys are getting killed a lot, or want to play a game that doesn't exist, except on 1P servers. It's a game. Doubt I'd paly it if it was only 1P. Don't like it.

Why?

Christ, how childish.

That's how I see it. The gal said she came on a low-pop server to - never got to explain, but obviously not to get shot. This joker blasts her. That's why you have a KOS-fest. Nothing worth doing if you played the mod. But simple human decency tells you to leave her alone or hook up with her for awhile. NOOO. He blasts her. A kiddie, and looks like the stand-alone if full of them. Haven't bought it yet, and might not. It needs a lot of work.

Good stuff.

Server admins can do what the "community" tolerates. Nobody here has to power to overcome that.

This is a death match game. There is no humanity system. Nothing will change unless murderers are identified. Murderers don't want skins. They want to kill with impunity. Some players like to play Sherlock Holmes and decide who is a murderer, then murder the other player for some perceived "hostile" action. Like a new spawn running away, or refusing to raise his hands. We've seen it all explicated here. Many excuses. But they are murderers with no accountability. "The new spawn is a danger to my team." "He looked suspicious." Murder with impunity, then whine they don't want to be identified for their conduct. It's a death match game. With the ability to communicate. Quit or get used to it. Its not a game with any morality. Don't pretend it is. It's totally amoral When nobody is identified as a bandit, everybody is a bandit. You can decide how you want to handle it. Talk with other players, or KOS.

Didn't work well for bandits. Worked fine for me. As long as you're happy with a death match game, a no humanity system is fine.

Well, I wouldn't play a bandit then. Didn't stop others though, as there was no shortage of bandits in the mod. Now I'm a bandit. And so it everybody's else - to me.

If you want to play that way. The way I play is to assume everybody is a bandit, since there is no way to identify them. So it's a death match game for me.

Why did you do it? Couldn't get enough kills with the bandit skin? The last thing to worry about is somebody doing what you did.

What makes you think anybody cares about your food?

Without bandit skins, I kill on sight. With them I'll talk to folks without a bandit skin. Carefully. So I'm KOS in this game. YMMV.

All your stuff are belong to us.

He might get shot. If he wants gear he'll just KOS. I don't get these guys who want to RP with other people who want no part of it.

You're a bandit. Some people don't take kindly to bandits. They'll just respawn. As you said, they only have melee weapon to lose. So tough shit for you.

Made a difference for me. Didn't want the skin. Now KOS/murder doesn't matter.

The problem with this is the developers. They're getting the game they want. A KOS/Death match game. The lack of the old bandit skins that were in the mod is the signal. With no way to identify a bandit, everybody is a bandit. Haven't bought it yet , since I'm waiting for improvements. But if I buy it, I'll play KOS, because everybody must be assumed to be a bandit. Not taking any chances. Too many griefers.
