Lmao, you don't get to CHOOSE which type of server you play on besides very basic things like 3p or FP; they're isn't any playstyle restrictions, If you honestly believe my statement was referring to people's playstyles rather than them whining about not having an invincible bubble to go "na na na na na!!!" behind, then please. DO NOT HAVE KIDS.You are doing the world a HUGE fucking favor. Edit: By the way, thanks for referring to my statement as idiotic while at the same time completely missing the context. Your a true show of character buddy.

I honestly think hand-holding for the new players isn't the right way to go. Part of the extremely unique immersive experience that is dayZ is gaining the knowledge of your bearings simply through experiencing the game yourself. With experience in this game comes the knowledge of: "oh, i know i'm good from this position, that position is covered from snipers, that one over there is covered from anything on the ground, and this one here is covered from anything in the air." It shouldn't come from looking at some numbers and mathematically KNOWING your safe in a certain area. Edit: ^ Especially for new players

I love how these PvE pro people scream saying they should be able to do what they want while at the same time trying to restrict another fellow gamers freedom to do what they want. Gotta love that internet.

Bingo.

Oh yeah, you're a TRUE dayZ pro doing this.

People not being killed on a non pvp server is like people NOT being killed in a real life zombie apocalypse.

Rotflmao *Put down bleach* huh?

And what is your problem with that person i MUST ask..? Is that person you describe somehow LESSER than us all because he/she chooses that playstyle? Is that person not playing the game right in YOUR eyes...? Is that person somehow NOT apart of our community here and excluded? Are they; how you say, "Doing it WRONG!"? Give me a break....

Sounds like some classic ass DayZ gameplay to me. Nice job. Your friend is a beast for coming out alive after dealing with 7 people in an uneasy alliance.

God... Don't even get me started on how high that fuckin trailer got MY hopes up lol...The final product we got wasn't even in the same universe. (Story wise.) Side Note: Dying light looks to be a repeat of the exact same thing. Watch the trailer first then check out the gameplay...*Facepalm* EDIT: ON TOPIC: To the OP, if you want my 2 cents. I'm a KoSer myself, i have my reasons, it's a logical survival habit and i approach every survivor encounter DIFFERENTLY. Not gonna get into that. But i completely agree and support your idea, it's completely fair, not over the top and adds EVEN MORE immersion to the DayZ experience.

This is very true to an extent. However people also consider if you're being run up on by a group that outnumbers you and you log out a combat log. They're both pussy moves in my opinion. To the OP: Considering you obviously didn't log out and heard they're entire bitch fit then you were playing the game fair, i just would've killed them all lol.

*Strangles self to death*

Good kills, good battles. I'm just really pissed that you couldn't get a magazine into your hands....then put the bullets into the godamn magazine lol. You also kept alot of shit from your 'buddy' that could've helped him survive. Other than that. You got a killer instinct. You survived. Good shit. And this is why I love DayZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2N8kMbqsbI _______________________________________________________ Now THATS funny. and creepy as hell at the same time. Even if its staged. I give it a nod.

Ehh...You might wanna re-think that. You see a useful thread for newbies. I see an extremely misleading thread getting ready to fill with rage.

Someone must be losing some serious cash in server hosting land.

Lol "for fun" you sure sounded like you were having 'fun'...

Hahahahaha. This.^ *BOOM!! BOOM!!* "Hmm..I should go have a look out of the window"

You care enough about losing the character to make a thread about it. No need to front.

Now i see ALOT of complaining around here about 'KoS' and i thought i'd just give my opinion and perspective on the matter. Being a dayZ mod player for years now and a dayZ SA player and reading all of the back and forth arguments on the forums have made me think of this point. Generally speaking, once your character is geared and sufficiently fed, clothed and watered, what is there left to do? Interact with players.Whether that be through negative or positive means I.E Banditry, heroism or Killing on sight, etc etc. Now what is the PRIMARY goal of non-KoSers, heroes, and just your average ordinary dayZ survivor after doing the above? (Gearing) meeting friendlies to ally with and complete tasks with. That is where the problem begins. Meeting and revealing yourself to strangers in this apocalyptic game is potential suicide. You are potentially putting the fate of the entire situation in their hands and that is simply NOT how to survive. It is only logical to NOT engage with armed strangers regardless of situation, it simply invites hostile behavior like prodding an on edge, caged animal. The person you reveal yourself to may NOT EVEN BE a regular KoSer, he may be a starving survivor in need of food. If someone unexpectedly comes into sight while you are not expecting anything or anyone to do so it is startling; be it a zombie or a player. As humans (of course keep in mind were in a zombie apocalypse here..humanity as we know it has fallen..hell on earth is the theme and mood of the title..etc..), our NATURAL reaction is to go into defense mind state, 'who are you', 'what do you have that can hurt me', Those are standard mentalities in an apocalyptic world such as this. Going by that ^ logic you would expect your average (EVEN NON-KoSer) to shoot first (on sight..) and ask questions later when dealing with armed strangers even unarmed strangers as we can now beat each other with our fists. Re-enforcing the need to be cautious. If you truly have the need to meet friendlies to survive with, the right way to do it isn't in the 'heat of the moment' in game.. its via the forums or other means. There's always the potential of STILL being betrayed by people you meet on the forums so if you also truly feel its too much of a risk to your survival or if past experience says otherwise, then being alone is simply your greatest strength and your worst enemy, an aspect brought out of you via the glory of DayZ. Now, lets just say the primary goal of KoSers is to of course..KoS. But let's look at exactly why they KoS. If you look past the mindless killers and the players that just want to watch the world burn your left with people that are potentially starving, have no problems with being alone OR (My primary point) already HAVE friends to play with. Yes, people not looking to meet new people and have plenty of people they legitimately trust to play with are categorized as KoSers. Even though they are simply using the same kill or be killed, on edge, zombie apocalypse mentality that you would expect. Just my 2 cents. I have plenty of more to say, but i'm tired as hell.

A week or 2 ago i would've agreed with this... But Jan 4th...? Nuh-uh...Back to work devs.

It's really unfortunate that the above stated is not common sense around here. Proof is in the threads.

Now she'll never let you bone her. Tsk tsk tsk.

Mind. Blown.

Now THERE'S an idea.
