Well, not really. not sure about you but I am not going around in real life trying to figure out who is a murderer, lol.

lots of crap was poured over the guy who started this topic but he is kind of right. you say in real life there is no way to distinct bad guy from good guy. you are wrong - in most cases there is. we are learning this skill all our life and it is called observation. We can rather quickly decide if the guy we met few minutes ago is a threat or not. It is how he looks, how he moves, smiles and talk. It is how he looks. Have you ever met hardened criminal? Or a drug junkie? Or a murderer (they say you are passing by a murderer seven times in your life on average)? You probably could say that something is not right with this guy, same with someone who is just pretends to be friendly. You can do lot of these things in DayZ - you can hear what and how guy talks, you can see what gear he has etc,etc. The only problem is that in most cases the other guy is so scared (let's be honest - 90% of KoS is because someone is scared of losing their m4) that he tries to kill you first. There are few solutions to this: -people become more experienced, so they are no longer scared of losing their gear as they know how to get it back -make guns/ammo more scarce so there is smaller possibility of two armed people to meet. -make helmets do their job, so freshspawns cannot knock out a person with one hit. axes should be able to do it though. -more zombies which respond to gun fire and are more deadly - so shooting at someone is the LAST RESORT (this will promote freshspawns attacking geared up players) am I missing something here?

From my experience it is sth like 10-20% DO NOT shoot on sight if they have a weapon. The rest DO NOT shoot on sight because it is really hard to shoot with an axe.

Welcome to DayZ antigame ;) Play it for at least 20 hours before making any conclusions. Try to get some good gear. No other shooting game will ever be the same :D

I'd like to congratulate unknown player that teached me yesterday that yelling "HANDS UP" and aiming at player with mosing IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! one has actually pull the trigger too. the mosin guy did it first, it was valuable lesson.

I am really sick of "cool" guys like you "knowing better" what suits me and what community wants. I bet you bully players in the game too, offing ppl who doesnt fit your vision of life. I dont care what you think about me committing suicide - it is sandbox game and I am gonna do whatever I want, so go moralize someone else

not really - it is just pure observation ;)

I like your point of view. Do you think they are gonna implement it? IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME! rotfl ;)

it is an adventure in post apocalyptic world full of retards, ending with your death every single time.

it is a sandbox, you do what you want. today you are running along the coast helping freshspawns, tomorrow you have a bad day so you camp and kos everyone. I dont think there is need to add elements like quests or NPC bandits (there is enough bandits out there, believe me) - because everyone can do anything I find situation that everyone kos all the time quite impossible.

Awruk, I really like you nick. Especially readed backwards :)

I used to hide and run away when I started playing, now I usually seek a contact with other players. It is the best part - meet another player, talk to him face to face (well, sometimes through the wall) and be able to walk away in one piece and without additional holes. It proves that sanity won this time ;) I think most players will behave similar once they got used to the fact that you can gear up pretty quickly and searching for loot is fun. Embrace the death!

I am sorry but I totally disagree. If you can stockpile weapons, it becomes CoD... there would be no tension that you may die in a second and lose all your gear. there would be no need to attack other players for their gear. there would be no bandits. there would be no fun

Interesting point. Right now I try to make them say something - if they sound old enough they are probably ok. If they are kids, it is better to keep them at distance.

Definately not a good idea sneaking upon people like this. I am kind of torn apart in case of people wearing gas mask - by default I shoot everyone who wear payday masks as I consider them bandits. Should I apply same rule to people wearing gas masks? I guess not.
