Except that's not the reason he killed someone. It's your justification of it. I'm not saying it's black and white, I'm just saying I've observed this type of behavior for over a year in the mod and it hasn't changed at all in standalone.

No way. @OP yeah I made a thread about this a while ago and people said they're aware of the problem already.

To me, KOS mentality is when some fully geared guy is in the treeline and see's an unarmed guy running the opposite way in an open field, instead of observing him leaving, the KOS guy will lay down and practice his sniper skills. It's all about going out of your way, even putting yourself in danger, to get that sweet sweet kill. To them, killing is the goal, survival comes second.

I think it's you who are putting yourself in the wrong group. When you kill someone because you decided it was the safest thing to do, that's not killing on sight. Killing on sight is exactly what you said, coastal retards who make it their mission to kill anyone they see. A big problem is people assume everytime they get killed randomly that it was kill on sight. While it could be someone you were about to run into acting for their own survival. I'm careful not to assume too much. I mostly base my opinions of KOS on experiences where I've been a third party, or when I've been able to talk to my killer and find out his motives. A lot of the time people kill you simply out of fear, which is great. It's those few times where you're unarmed, no threat at all, on the beach and some douche just has to run up and hatchet you for your flashlight battery. Those happen all too often.

This whole paragraph makes me want to vomit. Side chat did nothing other than give people who weren't all that interested in the actual game a place to sit and chit chat about bullshit, taking up player slots that could have been filled by actual players, who weren't hiding a a bush somewhere typing for hours. Or you had the "player1: anyone in cherno?" then a few minutes later "player1 was killed". The worse part about side chat was it gave people no reason to actually meet anyone in the game world. Why bother? You can hide in the forest and hunt rabbits all day while you're entertained by the chat room we were all forced to look at. If you want to run off alone in this game, you should be punished with no human contact. It's like all the arguments here on the forums, about KOS, game mechanics, and hacks, were played out day after day in blue text while people tried to focus on the game. But, you can't ignore the blue text, because one day some guy might type "Who's in elecktro fire station?" and if you don't say "Me" then he's gonna blow your head off. Fuck side chat, don't ever bring that shit back Rocket!

I'm just saying don't hide behind "it's just a game" when everybody hates you for your playstyle. Everyone should play how they want, just don't expect everybody else to respect it.

So sick of people trying to dismiss dayz as just another mindless shooter. I really feel sorry for you if you can't see the difference between killing someone in COD and in DayZ. You're really missing out on a unique experience. I never argue against KOS, I just argue that people need to respect their kills and lives in this game otherwise you're just wasting A LOT of your time playing it.

Yeah, DayZ isn't real life. So that human interaction between two players, that's not real. The annoyance the player who gets KOS feels, that's not real. Being a douche bag and killing everyone you see, that's not real, because it's just a game. I fucking hate the whole "it's not real life" argument. The human interaction that happens in this game is real, so that argument makes no sense. The characters you virtually kill, are controlled by real people, with real feelings. If you want to be an asshole and just kill everyone for whatever reason, at least own up to it. Don't hide behind the "it's just a game" excuse.

I bet you get a bag of salt for each unarmed freshspawn you kill.

You don't regenerate blood from eating food, you get energy from eating food, once you have 3500 energy, then you start to regenerate your blood. There is no indication of your energy level, so just keep eating if you aren't healthy.

I'd love to see some survival guides added as books. What kind of literature would get you to put down your m4 and pickup a book?

That's the thing with this hunger system, the hungry icon going away doesn't mean you should stop eating. Also, I don't think it should just auto eat items from your inventory. An option to eat the entire item, sure, but there's strategy to what you eat, I don't want that automated. In real life, I don't usually stop eating when I'm no longer hungry. I'll eat more so I can go longer before I'm hungry again. Not so much that I feel stuffed and lazy, but more than just satisfying my hunger cravings. Otherwise I'd be snacking all day every day.

We can do this with the paper & pen.(once they fix it)

Brozino

No morphine sadly :(

First you have to get your energy up, so eat a shitload of food & soda(or water if you have no soda) until you're stuffed and then let it regain full blood, then it will say 'healing' and then 'healthy' after it's healed all the way.

It should say healthy in your inventory where it says hungry. If not, the you need to eat and drink more, you might be sick or something and not know it. I don't think it always indicates when you're sick. Edit: Like this.. http://i.imgur.com/WkVl5uZ.jpg

It's like you did no research on anything but want to complain about everything. I can't be bothered responding.

The whole health & nutrition system is great.

The point of the system is to never let your character get hungry. Eat & drink regularly and you'll never see the hunger messages again. If you're waiting to be hungry, you're doing it wrong in my opinion. --- I agree there needs to be an eat all option.

^What wartzilla said

I doubt that was hacks.

Wow, I'll have to give that one a try then. Gotta love the exploits possible in an alpha.

It's not much of an exploit putting a bag inside a bag. They take up the whole bag don't they?

When Rocket was developing the mod there were lots of updates. I hope that will carry over to the standalone.
