This is my route I take all the time from eat to west. Best way to find tents too. Currently have 3 on Experimental 1st person. Anyone need a tent? lol

Just speaking of the masses that use it. There are always exceptions to the rule. i simply won't pick up a mosin or any sniper rifle anymore because I believe they have a negative effect on DayZ game play.

Depends on your play style. The mosin is more of a camper/Bandit weapon for easy mode kills. The LRS on a Mosin is only good for one thing, sniping players from a distance. The B95 is more of a survivor weapon.

My friends and I got a session lost on the experimental build server. When we logged back in, pants and contents ruined and broken legs. Anyone else got this too?

I take it no internal test before release? Join a server.. You are dead...

For the people who say after you gear up there is nothing you can do, have you ever thought about HELPING new players out. It shows a lot about your character in real life what you think you should do after you're kitted. This is not BattlefiedZ or CodZ. If you are so bad at pvp games you have to come here to shoot unarmed new players.. Maybe this game isn't for you. The KOS/SOS will definitely have an effect on the future sales of this game. I have seen and heard your excuses about it's a sandbox and we play how we want to play. Fact is the developers are trying hard to discourage this behavior. (No explanation needed if you know anything about the game) Don't get me wrong, I am not saying bandits aren't needed and a fun way to play.. but have some honor in your profession. Those that just snipe players from afar to get their kicks should really seek professional help. Maybe you have issues in your life..

Just camp a military spawn location and wait for the server hoppers to show up and BLAM.. geared up!

You are correct, I should have used reduce instead of remove. I was talking though from the ears of the person being shot. At any range beyond CQB, it would be very quiet and hard to get a bearing on the shot direction BTW.. I have never played cod, so thanks for sharing some of that games info with the group..

They would still remove the gunshot sound/Muzzle flash and all you should hear is the supersonic crack of the bullet. Not giving you a good direction of where the shot originated from.

Let me preface this by saying no ghoster has ever killed me.. I'm not that stupid.. if I engage with another player and they combat log, I don't stay in the same area. It is very sad to see the number of people who brag about server hopping and ghosting behind players to get kills. This is an alpha phase of the game and using a known exploit over and over again just because it hasn't been removed yet is so juvenile. It is very sad to see the lack of honor displayed by some. It comes down to a mentality that it's ok to cheat if you don't get caught.. When players lack the skill required to play games, they rely on cheats and exploits to level the playing field. Usually in most Alpha/Beta phases of game development and testing, if people continue to use exploits, they are banned...

That would work as well..

Then we have the thread nazi that come in and post off topic comments and pollute threads about the search function. Maybe if there is 1000 threads about a topic, it might be something important. Sorry if my thread offended you so much.

Actually, i just thought of a rather simple script that could run in a public hive to stop ghosters. Since the database knows your current location and you server (IP), there could be a script that if a player leaves one server and logs into another server.. moves a distance, them comes back to a previous server, the player could be rendered unconscious. There could be a minimum distance a player would need to travel before it would be turned off. Say like 1km. Just an idea..

If only I cared... owait i don't

No one is saying people won't die. Im talking about the scrubs who gear up then return to the coast to pick on, rob and kill the fresh unarmed players. Digital bullying at it's best.. If you can't fight people who are as well armed as you, dont play pvp games.. (and the term "you" is not directed at any one person..)

The majority of the KOS fresh spawn crowd are just so bad they can't actually play a PVP FPS game like Battlefield, etc. So the come into DayZ and pick on the weak. Way to boost your self esteem..

As an EMT/FF IRL, I love the idea!!

We are out there.. I don't think you'll find many heros along the coast. We are inland.. I tend to stay more to the east side of the map away from the military (bandit/pvp) areas to the west. Hitting the untouched inland town loot and exploring the map moving very cautiously to avoid other players. Add me to steam (razertx) if you need help, I'm fully medical geared and an EMT/FF in real life.

This sums up the problem we are facing. If I want to just PVP people, I go play battlefield 4. I play DayZ for the survival experience.

KOS will be around until players have an incentive not too. It's too easy to simply kill a player and take the loot. If a player received "humanity" for helping others and with more "humanity" came the ability to wear or use higher level gear, you could do a lot to combat the KOSers. I know there are ways to exploit that system, but they could add a limit to the amount you could get from one person per day. This is by no means a fix, just a brain stormed idea... Examples could be: Hero Actions: Give someone food item = 10 humanity WaterBottle/Canteen/Soda = 10/15/5 Mele weapons = 15-30 depending on weapons Pistol = 30 Rifle = 50 Blood transfusion = 100 Bandage = 30 Bandit Actions: Take someones blood = -50 Shoot someone = -100 Take someones gear items = varies neg impact on what you take (above for vaules) higher humanity the less likely you are to become sick or agro zombies. the lower humanity, the easier it is to agro zombies.
