If i loot at a military location i hit the barracks. When I'm playing with a friend, the one with a rifle enters the barrack lasr and closes the door and keeps proned with the gun ready. When someone opens the door they will be welcomed with a hail of bullets :)

@Zero. Trading csn be done without AI. All you need is a trade option and an interface. Currency can be done by using the some type of "useless" stuff i.e. books, tin canslike in the mod, or other stuff. But I guess most people than jusr kill for the currency. Killling people for their books to buy a new scope or a large amount if beans.

What is it with the to PvE? I've read many times it's against the rules and we have to wait till there are private hives. But i don't want that. I've bought this game and have the right to play the way i want. Friendly servers or non KoS server are a good place to learn how to play without the risk of getting shot once spawned and you can build up a group to play PvP with later on on a ln other server. Banditry should be allowed on those servers tho. But players just joining friendly servers to kill every one is just stupid. I know you have the right to join but acting like an asshole isn't fun for others. It's like going to an event for people with glasses and pick on them just because you think it is fun to do.

First of all i would like to say: i realy like this game. It's hard, frustrating, and most of all fun to play. I mostly lurk rhe new player and general boards. I find out people get spawned killed and that there are people who combat log, ghost, and server hop. So i came up with this idea. I dont have much experience with mmo's. But to reduce spawn killing i had this idea. Once you spawn and i mean frealsh spawn. You are invicible for other players for a couple of minutes, also you couldn't interract wi th the enviroment( cant open doors and pick up loot). To maybe reduce server hopping i came up with almost the same. Once you have joined a server you cant pickup loot for a given time. You also cant use any weapons since it would be unfair( joining a server, starting a killing spree in the time you cant loot). When it comes to combat logging. The answer is already given. A log out timer or you cant log out during a fire fight. I hope people will can give feedback on my ideas without it resulting people saying i should play my little pony. ( btw rainbowdash rules :p)

@electi: Harder to use med supplies seems like a good idea to me. Maybe it prevents the DM playing a little bit. Who will get in a fire fight n Knowing it is hard to heal yourself. Not trying to start a discusion.

The very first kill. Do you remember yours?
koffiekip42 replied to skoms's topic in General Discussion
Not a kill but my first attempt to kill. I was traveling to elektro with my little bro. I was packed with an m4 and ammo and he had a mosin. Somewhere near the mountains between cherno and elektro we lost eachother. A few minutes later i heard shots of a mosin and saw a guy zigzagging past me. I orderd him to stop, he didnt and kept zigzagging. I started shooting and he logged. The mosin shots came from my brothers mosin because he had mistaken that guy for a zombie. Not my first kill but my first attempt and experience with a combat logger. -
Still waiting for a player to communicate with me

I usualy avoid the mainroads. That's why i ran through the forests. Never thought i would see someone there. Had some luck tho. Joined a server just after restart or five minutes before xD -

koffiekip42 replied to jprime84's topic in New Player Discussion
Did a run through the woods from Elektro to Balota. although that I was trying to do. Mosin on my back, FNX holsterd on my chest (no ammo), and also a fire axe. Somewhere far in the woods between Cherno and Balota some guy shot at me with a mosin. Took him around 4/5 shots to kill me. Couldn't dodge the last 2 bullets and had no time to grab my axe to axe him to death Don't have many other experience than that, besides the time that some armed guy give me some water when i just spawned. -
Curious about peoples 'Rules of Engagement'
koffiekip42 replied to UNDERWORLD's topic in General Discussion
My rules: I dont KOS unless you shot me first, i can get away l, and you come too close to my hiding place. I will shoot if you ignore if i tell you to stop running, i want to interact with you. Maybe we can trade stuff. I shoot if i see there is no way out. I rather die in combat. Most of the time i try to talk with you directly. Helping each other survive is my number 1 priority. -
Piss and shit un the game? So you can be shot in the head while pissing on a tree, or taking a crap in the woods? Imagine hearing this in the videos " and yeah, they killed me... While I was taking a dump in a rabbits hole"
-
I think i've got friendzoned by a couple of zeds. Ran past them and they only did their zombie moans and stood there doing nothing. Feels bad.

First of all I'm not against KoS. Also I'm not a supporter of i. Why im not against kos. -it's a way of survival, just like banditry. Why im not a supporter. - wont give a real feel to the survival aspect* Should it be bannend? No! Im new to the game and never have killed on sight. Would i kos? Yes. Only when someone shot at me, missed and came to close to the place im hidding should there be penalties on kos? No. Because its a survival tactic. *I've seen people posting that in a real apocalypse will kos. And yes this could be true but for humans to survive an apocalyptic world, killing everyone you see is a stupid idea. You need people to help you survive. Medics for broken legs or sickness. Everyone could be usefull to you.

I don't know what it is but most of the time the direct chat sounds like weird mumbling to me. It even happens when players are nearby. A couple a days ago i played together with my lil bro. We sat directly next to each other and played with the direct chat. I could understand him clearly. We met other players and we both couldn't understand them. This even had me killed because I couldn't understand a bandit.

I think "Friendly Servers" are a good thing for new players to learn about hunger and thirst. Let them easily learn where places are and how they look without getting shot. Yes I have played on friendly servers when I first started. Just to see what the game looked like and experience how easy it is to die of thirst and stuff. But know I'm sure willing to play on other servers. Low pop or not. I feel I'm ready for it.

Confessions from a N00b!1 (share yours too)
koffiekip42 replied to Cydone's topic in New Player Discussion
Made a huge mistake to travel on the road from Balota to Solni. Had to pick my little brother up there and give him some of my supplies. No troubles in Cherno, just some zombies (even with a nice m4 i didn't take em out). Out of Cherno i met some guys who ran into Cherno (no problems so far). Traveld further just to get shot somewhere near the Pik Kozlova mountain area. Never i'll make this mistake again. -
I don't know if someone has taught about, but is it a good idea to have some trading convoys in the game? I know it is alpha and that more things would be added along the way. But trading convoys could be set up by players. it would give some more reality and it simulates surving a lot more. Who needs a thousand 5.56 ammo when you are friendly or hundreds of beans. so yeah let me hear what about this idea. happy looting KoffieKip
-
@bummel: yeah that's also true. Maybe I'll try to find some people and also attempt doing the trading. We'll see.
-
Had the same on a "friendly server". Ran right into the dude. Should have pulled my gun first and shoot him like in an western movie.
-
@sYs: I hope so. @Gdaddy: Thats the main problem i'am facing with this idea. I hoped this would reduce the killing on sight because the traders could be useful.
-
I know it would be hard to do because of the KoS mentality and bandit hold ups. But if you are out of ammo and have tons of other stuff, you can trade. Atleast you could survive another day.

Any way to know how my player died?
koffiekip42 replied to Foulplay's topic in New Player Discussion
I had somewhat the same when I was looting in Balota. Logged out of the game, did some other stuff (checking maps and planning routes), logged in and bam "you are unconcious" directly followed by "you are dead".
