So you made generalizations and assumptions, and when caught dead wrong you try to squirm your way out of it by ultimately making more generalizations and assumptions? Alright, well I'm done discussing anything with you.

Wait till the game is finished, then find a server that suits your style of play. End of fucking discussion.

Man you're a bag full of stupid, aren't you? Been playing DayZ since vanilla. Been a bandit since day 1. Sorry if your style of play isn't popular. Get over it.

I think you're playing the wrong game, friend. You should check out Left for Dead 2

I think it has a lot to do with your characters health status, as well as much of these other things. I've noticed my M4 is deadly precise 400+ meters out if I deploy the bipod and have a "healthy" status. Also, when I replaced my red dot sight with an ACOG, my accuracy skyrocketed.

What's the purpose again? Being able to server hop so you don't have to walk to the next city? Yea, that's kinda the point to defeat that.

Make good use of the Q and E buttons. If you aren't playing in 3rd person yet, you really should start. You can see around corners in 3rd person without having to expose yourself.

I liked the old method of every server saved your character separately. So you switch servers, your character starts over. You go BACK to the previous server, and your character on that server is maintained. I'm imagining this is how it's going to be solved, seeing as how this was what the mod turned into, essentially.

I also find it pretty funny when people combat log, then complain about KoS. You realize that makes you worse than someone who kills on sight, right?

This. I've started using this. Something cool that the mod didn't have.

Can we start banning people who makes KoS whining threads? There are already countless threads just like this. Every noob that gets killed wants to make a thread, and I'm sick of sorting through all this bull.

I never used the word "remove". But what you are suggesting is major game changing mechanics, so how about we wait and see what the game is intended to be before we start trying to have it changed? What you are playing now is completely bare bones, and will change drastically with time.

Let's just let the game get to where the developers currently envision it, THEN let's worry about major game changing mechanics to deal with KoS. Alright? So sick of all the KoS threads when the alpha has been out a week.

Switch servers. Some servers get bugged out where you can't open doors.

Hopefully we will be seeing much of this solved already with future patches. Keep in mind that they had to completely scrap the zombie AI and start over, so what we are seeing right now is a very early form of the zombie AI.

Or you could disable them with 2-3 bullets, THEN steal their blood.

There's a lot of people with military/police experience who aren't currently military/police. I think those people would excel in a post-apocalyptic environment.

Raaaaaaaaaaaaage

Very good point. My first tests with the M4 I wasn't aware that yo be "healthy" you had to eat and drink a lot more than just to stop your dude's whining. I will have to test this out now that I fully understand how the hunger/thirst/blood/health system works. Here's a good link for anyone who doesn't quite understand how the status system works. http://dayzdb.com/guide/11-standalone-status-effects

I love all the cry babies about KoS. I usually don't shoot unarmed dudes, but this thread makes me want to log in and shoot a couple fresh spawns.

Sounds to me like the other player was instead trying to utilize new game mechanics by taking him hostage, not KoS. If you don't like the way the game is designed, don't play it. There are other zombie games out there that don't involve PvP.

Most of us PvPers play because we think this is how an authentic post-apocalyptic society would actually be. Carebears who come upon an armed stranger who is scavenging for goods and try to reason with him, only to be shot in the face, also don't "respawn in RL". I fail to understand how you think a post-apocalyptic society would be anything but cuthroat.

Then the item description wouldn't be "pristine" ;P

Currently in Japan, and would like to team up with some English speakers who will be on around the same time as me. Currently geared out the arse, and I have a lot of Day Z experience. Preferably looking for a bandit group, but willing to roll with anyone.

I played the mod over a year :) Of course you still had spawn killing, but it was nothing compared to the early days. You're never going to get rid of coastal bandits. But, there was more incentive for teams to head up north, and usually it turned into some pretty good skirmishes.
