In one of my older clans me and my friends would almost always hold people up granted they didn't have guns/occasionally when their guns weren't out. If they tried running, there were 4 of us with guns so they would die, if they allowed us to search their backpacks for supplies that we needed we would usually take what we needed and give them what we didn't need; once we even let someone tag along with us for a bit before the server restarted. It depends on who you run into. edit: Everyone says just run away in a full sprint and they usually won't hit you; if the person shooting is willing to take their time before taking the shot its usually fairly easy to hit someone, or if he/she has an M4A1 they don't need to be very accurate to hit you, just spray you with Bullets.

By wearing that orange jacket your making it much easier for me to A) See you B) KoS you. So, Yes.

I don't plan on building any bases from the ground up but rather finding already built structures and barricading them (residential houses etc) and that way i can move from house to house without having to worry about being raided.

SOME explosives, nothing too big like C4 or anything but, Grenades (Smoke, Flash, Explosive - Make them only found in Military Barracks and make them rare) Molotov Cocktails (Crafted using Alcohol Tincture + Rags + Matches when they are added)

it happens, alpha game is alpha

keep in mind with anything over 100 chances are you would be killed by another fresh spawn or starve to death unless loot respawns are implemented

keep in mind most of the 225km^2 is just open land that people rarely go to if it was anything over a 100 man server then it would basically be a giant war in elektro, berezino, and the airfields

full, yet i still don't find that many players besides new spawns due to the lack of vehicles and only 40 man servers

if people are complaining about the amount of KoS in Standalone, go play the mod or overwatch for a day or two and just see the difference. i have troubles surviving for 5-10 minutes in overwatch without someone attempting to kill me

i would assume no more than a week or two because there is still fresh fruit

i like to kos sometimes idc if people do it to me because of how easy it is to get regeared (i got an m4 with 240 rounds and fully geared within 5 minutes of spawning because i found a dead body in elektro). If i need blood i can eat and wait for 30 or so minutes without getting attacked, or i can just message one of my friends on steam and ask if they can come help me

i usually don't do these things but i have, -found a new spawn from novy in stary with the people i used to play with, we found him a taloon backpack, gave him some gear and let him come with us for about 30 minutes until we swapped servers and we got seperated -held up people and "traded" items, take what we need from them give them some stuff, take their ammo and or deadly weapons usually, unlock their handcuffs and let them go on their way

86 hours played (mostly been playing the mod since i have gotten bored with standalone in its current state), killed 20+ players, usually run around the coast, however my first murder was at the NE Airfield in the Prison, i saw a player looting it i ran in behind the player and put three magnum shots in the players back.

theres already guns that basically one-three shot people at 150-800 yards away, i see why you would like for heavy weapons to be implemented however i think that what would end up happening is someone would take an M2 Machinegun, set it up on the coast and unleash fury upon fresh spawns. edit: explosive weaponry such as the mortar would also just destroy pvp imo, you are hiding behind cover and all of a sudden the house that you were just hiding in is gone

You can already spray food with Disinfectant Spray and cause people to get sick when they eat it, I like the idea of more ways to poison food.

you just learn to estimate distances after awhile and then theres, http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus just click on two locations and theres the distance edit just some general distances that i checked on the map -from sniper hill in elektro to the external fire staton it is roughly 200 meters -from sniper hill in elektro to the internal fire station it is roughly 500 meters -kamy is roughly 400 meters (west->east/east->west)

I KoS for fun usually. Plus, its not hard to conceal a magnum in your jeans, you turn around to walk away, bam bullet in your back. __________ About the rest of your post, yeah this kind of stuff happens and unfortunately the servers don't have global/side chat anymore so you can't tell admins (if there are any on the server you are on) that there is someone doing something they shouldn't.

Rust seems like a game that is a little farther a long in its development when it comes to stuff to do how ever there are FAR more Hackers and people who use exploits to kill other players on Rust. HOWEVER, (just coming from my personal experience) I have gotten bored with Standalone due to it being in Alpha and not having much to do beyond run up and down the coast shooting new spawns. Also, they just turned Cherno/Balota into Ghost towns after changing the spawns. Currently Standalone takes awhile to find anyone else to shoot at and when you do the fight is over in less than 30 seconds.

I play depending on what would best suit the situation at hand. Example if someone has an M4 and I have a splitting axe I will go after them quietly and discrete.

The only fun thing to do in Day Z at the moment is shoot other players until you eventually die, that's why I usually KoS not because I can't trust them a lot of the people I run into I can trust. Doesn't mean they can trust me though. And you get geared A LOT faster if you just kill other players rather than spend hours looking for the gear yourself. USUALLY the only times I let people go is if they are, new spawns and don't think they pose any threat, people who gave me stuff (weapons, food, gear etc), and people who aren't worth the ammo or the time it would take to kill them. I have killed plenty of players who said they would be friendly doesn't mean that I am a jerk or a bad person, just playing the game. I went through it when I was learning the game and people killing me, almost everyone goes through it. One of the best ways for you to get more experienced in the game is to get shot or killed in some way and try again, eventually you will get the hang of it.

I don't know why people are so ashamed of their kills in the game, you should feel proud. The only thing to do in the game right now is shoot at other players its not like the zombies are actually any challenge.

In around 84 hours of Standalone, 6 with the magnum 8 with the mosin 2 with the m4 5 with the fire axe 1 with a splitting axe and 1 with my fists all of these are just estimated amounts, a couple were in self defense but a lot of them were because I wanted their gear edit: i'm not sure if this counts but yesterday a guy was shooting at me ontop of the school around a corner and as he rounded the corner he slipped and fell off the roof

At Balota on the second floor of the Prison I found this Beret that I haven't seen anyone bring up, http://i.imgur.com/ya7QRPZ.jpg It has by far the longest name of any item I've seen

Yeah I would agree with this, I was going to say not getting attached to your gear, or learning to get back up again after you die a lot but I feel like Observation is a good one. I feel like Observation in Day Z is severely something you just pick up over time rather than someone can teach you. Things that fall under Observation, Noticing that when zombies are aggro'd or making a lot of noises there is usually someone around you or near the zombie at least. Keeping 360o awareness. Keeping an eye on building patterns and if a bunch of doors are closed that shouldn't be closed you may not want to go in there/be more careful going in there Estimating distances for zeroing on a gun when you don't have the time to open the map and check Remembering the area and getting familiar with the Map so you get lost less often and can find your way around easier

Cherno has become a Ghost town since they made it so you spawn less frequently near Cherno and Balota. Why not just move Balota a little farther north and keep the spawns as they were? Anyone Agree/Disagree with this? If not why?
