    KoS NEAF, Good Times...

    Really like 1st person view only servers. Great job mate! I really hate server hoppers and ghosters...

    Lets post some screen shots (Standalone)

    Some screenshots I took over the past few days. Switched from a military style camo asian guy to a Hero skin style outfit.

    Post Your Gear So Far

    Alright, gave all my gear to my close friends who recently got the stand alone, and started fresh. With the Hero skin from the mod in mind for the design, this is what I look like now.

    The Hero

    Yeah, I thought about that too, but it can take quite some time to get all parts, and I doubt a bandit would ditch item space (jeans only 4 space, shirt only 2 space) to try and trick people. Most bandit love their style and wear the masks instead, in full TTskO camo. Then again, you never know... But anyway, I dress as a hero and play as one since the mod. You get betrayed, killed more and overall it's tougher that way, but I like it more. Peace! To each his own!

    The Hero

    Brilliant. I enjoy reading those survivor stories. You really are a hero. It's not easy playing as one. Wearing these clothes may help you getting recognize by old DayZ mod players, but it works in both ways. I remember being killed back then just for being one sometimes... It's tough being a hero, but it's more gratifying in the end. (at least for me) So finally got something pretty decent after about 3 hours of gameplay. Found most items I needed in 4 or 5 places, while most houses didn't have what I was looking for. Didn't find any tactical vest, but the UK assault black looks very similar. The original DayZ mod Hero skin (ArmA2 PMC dlc player skin) to compare. This was actually a private hive with other players, but the hero in front was some kind of AI/bot/clone bug. My friend's at my right, and this ''Matthew Lewis'' wasn't on the player list, nor was he answering. We thought it was the admin or something playing a trick, since we had been playing on that server for a month+ and never saw any kind of AI or bots at any time, before, or after that encounter. Anyway, it would be nice to have a leg holster, would be even similar, and besides, I wouldn't mind having other holsters.
  6. This needs more view and beans for Dean to see as I never heard him before talk about those changes, which would enhance the general experience for everyone as it IS supposed to a zombie apocalypse. Great topic. Sir, you have my beans.

    The Hero

    Started a new character. Gave all my stuff to my friend who recently acquired DayZ SA, and started fresh. Will post pics of the end result. It's refreshing to be wearing civilian clothes for once. Last time I played DayZ epoch or Breaking Point, was usually wearing military gear and since most players in SA end up wearing similar military clothes the distinction between bandits and heroes is very hard to determine. Keep it up guys!

    The Hero

    Looks awesome. A bit different from the OP, which I really like, but both seems very hero skin to me. If I saw this guy on Chernaurus I would trust him no problem. GJ guys!

    The Hero

    Keep us updated on those heroes exploit! (I'm having such a hard time finding the correct items... lol I tried a blue check shirt but it was too far off. Only found 1 badly damaged Beige baseball cap, never seen the white check shirt, or black jogging shoes. Spent 3 hours looking through hundreds of houses! :D It can be a pretty hard quest! )

    The Hero

    Nice! That's what I'm trying to do too!! Got tired of the generic camo style. Almost perfect! Thanks for sharing!
  11. I say to each his own. There should be more zombies since it's a zombie apocalypse, but we're in early stage of alpha, so they need to get this stable before taxing more resources. But honestly, there's a need for everything to make this game great. We need bandits for the fear of getting shot when looting popular spots. We need heros to help out new survivors and show them the basic while maintaining the "hope" in this ZA (zombie apocalypse). We need to respect other playstyles. It shouldn't be PVP only and KoS everywhere, and it shouldn't be friendlies running around hand in hand. But we need some of both to make our experience "complete". In the end, forcing a certain type of play, make it Walking Dead roleplay or kill everything that moves on sight as soon as you get a gun, is the wrong way. Respecting other playstyles even if we don't agree or like it is the right way. The only thing we don't need is hackers, and we're already plagued with them... :( To each his own.

    Post Your Gear So Far

    Interesting. Thanks for letting me know! Should have figured it out since I already did that with the Stanag 40s. Duh. :D Well, any way I'm going to donate this ammo box soon. Don't really need all this. Gonna share most of what I have. Finally found a scope. (personal goal) so I'm probly gonna start over and try to make a different character. Anyway little update (without the ammo box full of 60 rounds packs) of my gear so far. Probably last time posting gear with this one, not gonna try and get more.

    This is my mostly what I have right now. Switched the tactical vest for a camo UK one, and found another small protective case. I have yet to find any scope for my M4 though. Character created on December 20th. Avoided players I came across, and did not engage unless fired upon.

    Enjoying the sunrise. My character. Started on December 20th. Still alive. Never found a scope for this M4... lol Quiet night. Gonna try and do the same in the woods with a gas lamp like that. Can't wait to build camp fires!

    Great thread! My screens aren't as gorgeous as some others, but still, I'm sharing a few for now. First character created December 18th. Big moon rising. (poor man's nvgs on, thus the contrast and brightness... XD) Taking a break on top of a hill. Christmas Eve sunset sky. Where to next? We'll see later, just enjoying the moment. I'm going to crank up the graphics for the new screenshots I'll take. Use these settings to get a steady 55/60 FPS, but for the sake of breathtaking screen capture, I'll have to sacrifice FPS for a few seconds.
  18. Great video mate! Thanks for sharing!! Very interesting!

    PvE Server - Killed by a Human

    Sums it up pretty good. Coudn't agree more.
  20. Wow... Some people are just too unrespectful to let others do what they want in peace. "I encourage everyone who has any respect for the game to do the same." Buddy, you have no respect at all for thinking that way. Some parents just don't teach their kids how to behave, and give them too much money for their own good. The people playing on these servers don't do anything to you. If you feel "upset" by this, it's your own problem and you should fix that really quick. Just go to any other server and stop "trolling". This is not even a full fledge video game!! XD It's a software in early stage of developpment, an alpha. You should just test it out and help with the developpment. But then again, with the way you are thinking, I doubt you can get passed the feeling of pleasure you get with killing players that pretty much won't defend themselves as they think the server they're on is safe. So basically you just want to kill players who won't shoot back? Scared of getting killed? Hmm, you should join a PvE server.... I don't mind the KoS. It's part of the possible interactions between players. But joining a server that promotes "cooperative" behaviour to kill players and annoy players? Wow, you have some twisted pleasures mate!?

    saline vs blood bag

    Notice the "healthy" on the top right corner of the player screen. (where you rotate your character) I was hit by a zombie and bled for a while before finding some clothes to shred and make bandages, so I was pretty low on health, but after eating and drinking good food and clean water, and sitting for a while, my health got back to full. Takes a while. It's all explained on this page:http://dayzdb.com/guide/11-standalone-status-effects
  24. That's exactly my point. What I'm saying is that I often hear players saying that they just grab some combat gear and go kill players for fun, like in any FPS focused mainly on combat (BF, CoD, MoH,etc.) and that there's nothing else to do. That's the problem here. There's no "correct" way of playing DayZ, I've been playing the mods since they came out, but saying that there should only be this type of play or this type is wrong. To each his own to play a sandbox game, just don't try and force a certain playstyle on others. On a side note, I highly doubt intelligent beings in an apocalypse scenario would kill each other for their "loot". To survive alone for another day? When it's mankind vs zombies, or aliens, or whatever, there would surely be some occasional crazies going around killing other survivors, but most remnants of humanity would try and unite to save the race. The needs of the many outweight the needs of the few. Then again, our society never faced a real apocalypse, so it's just speculations and theories. Respect.
  25. Same thing applies to you. "you can't expect everyone to form to your play-style" . KoS is god awful boring in a sandbox game with lots of possibilities. Besides, we're now in early alpha, so we should try and test features then provide positive feedback so we can help out shape the game and help the devs. Honestly, if you only play DayZ to kill people, you missed the point.
