This was the best SA video I've seen so far. Kudos sir, that was quite enjoyable

So what's your definition of KoS vs bandit? You're saying banditry is okay, but not KoS? What the fuck do you think bandits do?

Hmm, I take it you neglected to read my reply. Oh well ;)

I remember having to shoot an M16 while wearing a gas mask was definitely a much greater pain in the ass than without. Aiming down your sights isn't as simple with a gas mask + filters on.

Your introduction was essential to the whole topic. If 90% of the community truly doesn't like KoS, then it would be in the best interests of the developers to remove it. However, this is not the case. The fact that you could be killed by any player you encounter is exactly what has made this game a success, and the developers are aware of this. Nothing is saying you have to kill on sight, but the threat always remains. It creates a level of suspense that doesn't exist in normal shooters, or RPGs. It's a beautiful hybrid of the two genres that ultimately creates emotional and biological responses that I've never experienced in other games. I've never experienced the pure amount of adrenaline, paranoia, and fear that this game can create. This is exactly what I would expect from a post-apocalyptic environment. If you don't like KoS, please, just be patient. The game is rudimentary right now, so there isn't really much else to do. Also, I recommend finding a group or people who share your same views so you can play together peacefully. However, without intermittent threat of mortality from any direction or location, the game becomes just like any other shooter, or RPG. If you can't accept that fact that people might kill you to take your items, or just for the hell of it, then you should find another game to play.

Why do you assume that everyone hates KoS? Just because a bunch of noobs flood the forum doesn't mean that the hundreds of thousands of players all share this sentiment.

40 player cap + no vehicles

Breathing isn't too difficult. It's mainly the fact that you are wearing so many layer and layers of clothing, all sealed off. All of your sweat just pools up in your boots and your top... and your mask. Longest I went was around 4 hours. By the time it was finished, the sweat was damn near up to my cheek bones. Also, keep in mind you're randomly going in and out of your gear throughout a 12 hour shift, for a 4-5 day period.

Yep. If you're in a firefight where both sides are behind cover, it can consume a lot of ammo. Always good to have 2-3 clips ready to go.

M50... oh God now I'm going to have nightmares about exercises in the Pacific

I killed a guy in Zeleno the other day, if you're reading this... HAHA.

Enjoy it fellas! I'm a little burnt out, so I'm waiting for the next patch. But that's probably because all I did was eat, sleep, and Day Z for nearly the entire first week. Most of the guys you see whining and complaining on here fail to understand that the main purpose of the game right now is finding and identifying bugs, and the actual game play itself is sure to improve as things are added/changed. They also seem to hate the search feature, so you see a lot of the same threads over and over.

Meh, it was an excellent novel but I don't think some of you are very well read if it was life shattering. To each his own, I suppose.

book was pretty intense, especially the cannibalism part

Since when was a pack of wolves 25-49

I just died on a character that has been alive for almost 5 days straight. How I deal with it? Well, I got jumped by a party, but I took two of them out so I figured they came out behind. Also, I just play recklessly on new characters until I get some gear. Usually some funny shit will happen when you are playing recklessly.

Wonder how many people are going to request assistance only to chop him up with an axe when he gets there

What's with all the bronies.

Companionship. Clearly you were feeling quite lonely, as you didn't have any friends to play with. It's understandable, I often find bambies on the beach when I don't have anyone to roll with. Perhaps a better analogy. Don't pick up random strangers from craigslist, because they just might murder you with an axe.

Moral of the story: don't get into a van with a stranger, even if he is offering some pretty sweet candy.

Surely there isn't already 1000 other threads whining about KoS/PvP

If we are going for realism with the local weapons, why are there so many M4A1s?

a .22 isn't really exotic or weird. It's the most common gun you will find in civilian households along with shotguns.

After a little bit of searching around and unable to find anything mentioning this, I decided it was time to make a thread. I have no idea if this was intentional or a bug, but has anyone else noticed that you can put storage containers within storage containers? The container provides 6 inventory slots, but only uses 4. This means you can now store 8 things in a 4 slot space by putting a container within a container. I currently have a medkit that is in a container, that is in another container, that is in my inventory. So, I have 10 slots of effective inventory while only utilizing 4 on my person. Surely, this wasn't intended to be possible :D Until it gets fixed, enjoy the tip for limitless inventory space! Find a medkit but you already have one? Empty it out and use it for storage.
