1S1K-Airborne

The zombies in this game are not scary in the least. Outrun them. Hit them with a melee while you run in a circle. Or hug them for like 5 minutes till you're dead. With all the KOS going on, there might as well not be zombies in the game. I never fear for my life from a zombie.

Get a sex change!

KOS, with no interaction. Only way to play the game right now unless you like being a bullet / axe sponge.

Once again, we're back to: KOS Easy Mode = All the Advantages, Kill Everyone You See Hero Mode = All the Disadvantages, follow people around, sneak up and say HI FRIENDLY, hope you don't get shot / axed to death for helping The Armband System would balance it out. You'd have a chance to be a hero without being a bullet / axe sponge. Nothing else will lessen the KOS. KOS is the lowest common denominator. It feeds on itself. After you get killed 3-4 times trying to help people, or even NOT trying to kill them, most players say "screw it" and start KOSing themselves. That feeds more KOS into the system. Then the cycle repeats, until you get the KOS Deathmatch that Standalone has become. The Armband System will not dictate how you play. You can still do whatever you want. You can TAKE OFF the armband. It just allows heros to play as heros without being bullet / axe sponges.

I'm for squad ID as well. WarZ actually had a pretty good squad ID system. Everyone in your clan had a chevron over their head. It showed through walls / hills too. I guess the distance / display would be up for debate. I can see the "purist" mentality of not seeing it until you can physically see the player, but I can see the other side too where you can see it through walls / hills. The only real downside was getting other players "not in your clan" into your squad. WarZ did have a "group" ID as well, but it was klunky, pain in the ass to manage, and didn't work well overall. The humanity system in WarZ was hosed as well. Pretty much basically like the mod humanity system. Good concept, extremely flawed implementation. The problem with only having a Squad ID system is.........too many random people that server hop / only play in a server once / etc. You'd have a constant rotation of groups / individuals in and out of the server, rendering any type of Squad / Clan ID system marginal at best. You'd meet a friendly or hostile group, try to remember that they were friendly or hostile, only to have them never play in the server again. Multiply by X number of days, and the system kinda drowns itself out. It would work well for established clans that didn't server hop. I'd love to go find a bandit clan to go pound on repeatedly.......lol

I really laughed my ass off at this: Its a retarded, pantsless WW2 out there... Maybe they could use that in ads for the Standalone? Want some retarded pantsless WW2 zombie mode???? Try Standalone! Kill everyone you meet! Beat a fresh spawn to death with nothing but your fists! Kidnap an poison other players! No humanity, no repercussions, just free for all murder mode! KOS your way to happy land! And the KOS haters ignore all the posts like this. There are posts all over this thread that agree. 37 people gave beans to the initial posts. It "seems" like we're not alone. Unless you ask the KOS crowd.

Yep, lowest common denominator of player wins. KOS = Win Destroy Loot = Win Hero = Epic Fail

The goal is to give heros and bandits "some" type of equal gameplay chance. Right now bandit KOS is super easy mode. See someone, kill them, repeat. Heros have to do all the stupid stuff.......watch a player for an hour......wear bright clothes........NOT have a weapon out (really???).......wave your flashlight around......try to give random people a weapon only to have them try to kill you in return with the weapon you gave them. Seems pretty KOS Bandit favored right?? BTW whoever posted that picture made me laugh my ass off. I want to be a hero but I would DEFINITELY take the humanity hit and murder your mess of a character. Not take anything, just hide the body so humanity could forget what a disaster you are.

Welcome to the KOS Permadeath Deathmatch Standalone. Where the lowest skill players RULE! Been around long? What did you think it was going to be like?

Actually I think dildos would be a little over the top. I'd probably just say screw it and be a bandit then. So what would you do to balance out the gameplay so bandits that KOS don't have a huge advantage over heros that don't? BTW how do you know that I'm NOT Gandalf? YOU SHALL NOT POST! <-------------did it work? Oh and another BTW thanks for posting again. I'm starting to question if your real intention is to help me keep this topic going.....lol

There's no reason to surrender to anyone. Chances are you're going to get KOS'd or handcuffed and fed rotten food until you die. You might as well try to fight it out. There's no humanity system so there's no incentive not to murder everyone you see. Welcome to KOS Permadeath Deathmatch Standalone.

Most players don't KOS if they just have fists. But as soon as they get a melee weapon, it's right back to KOS Permadeath Deathmatch Standalone.

And the bandits would start using that skin to KOS players instantly. Wouldn't work. It's not humanity based. Anyone can wear it. If you want to see what would fix it, see my signature below.

Whatever you do...... DO NOT go in the cargo hold that has about 2-3 feet of water in it. It has stairs leading down to it, and the whole floor is covered in water. Got stuck in there for about a half hour. Finally found a way to glitch jump myself outta there, but it took another 10 minutes.

That would be pretty funny if you could get politician clothes. Kinda impractical though as "which ones do you choose"? All USA ones? All European ones? What if you have a politician you really don't like, but only their rival's skin is available. So bandits KOS instantly whenever they see someone. <------super easy mode And heros are forced to creep around trying to get a "feeling" of what a player might do if they approached them. <-----yawn, boring and a pain in the ass Seems like a very one sided advantage for bandits, and super boring for heros.

Yeah, it's been suggested over and over that players that wear X are all bandits. Unfortunately they've said that for about 1/2 the items in the game. So basically if you're A. Alive and B. Moving........you're a bandit. I'd also be fine if bandits had "bloody" clothing, civs had "clean" clothing, and heros had "dirty" clothing. And the PS is a bit racist man, don't need that crap here.

Yep, I'd be fine with this as well. Have certain items in the game that only heros can equip. I'll hunt for the items, no problemo. Killing bandits all the way.

Most of the replies to posts in this forum are....... Cry more! So............ Cry more! Buy your own server, then you can do whatever you want with it.

Because within about 10 minutes of starting something like that......every KOSer in the server would be hunting for them. Even if it was only given to heros on restart, every bandit KOSer would be wearing one shortly after they shot somebody that was looting. It just wouldn't work. Plus an armband is much smaller / harder to see. KOS is the only possible gameplay style right now, unless you like being a bullet / axe sponge hero. I'm trying to change that, without giving any negative or positive aspects to heros or bandits.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I have mine and I'm entitled to it. But thanks for helping me keep the topic going :) You're a real trooper!

Nope, KOS is the only way you can play the game right now. While you were at it, you should've KOS'd the victim as well. As soon as he gets a gun / axe, he's coming for you.....lol

Until they implement some type of humanity system (like the one in my signature below).............the only thing you can do is KOS everyone. Not worth playing. If I want to KOS I'll go play COD, I can get more frags per minute there. Plus it's fun to KOS there and not annoying permadeath KOS like DayZ.

Night time sucks. Can't see crap. End up dying to starvation instead of KOS. At least with KOS you can fight back.....lol They need to turn UP the illumination levels at night. You should be able to play WITHOUT gimmicks, and WITHOUT needing a light to move 10 feet. WarZ fluctuated between "completely unplayable at night" to "omg it's almost daylight at night". There has to be a balance. Dark, but not TOO DARK.

ROFLMAO, love this post! Couldn't agree more man. E-penis.......LOLZ

Yep, the only way to play this game right now is KOS. Unless you like being a bullet / axe sponge. They should rename the game from: DayZ Standalone to KOS Everyone Everywhere Standalone Permadeath Deathmatch It would be a better descriptive of what the game is.
