While their are Zombie/Infected children in movies, you won't be finding many if any in games, because the general consensus of killing children in video games, is very taboo, and is quiet gross to me.

Why is it everytime a Streamer in Streaming and they get killed it's because of a "Stream Sniper", could have been a well organized group at the Airfield doing some PvP, and let's face it the Firestation is an over-camped area of NWAF, and you'de be a moron not to check the roofs. Meant no offense by this reply, just bored with seeing the same ol' excuse/label of players.

I typically do shoot people who don't respond, heck even a text chat would suffice, but to me, if your not going to respond, a simple, "Hello" or something along those lines, would be ok. It's the people I run into, say hello to, and they continue like no ones even there, that I gun down.

But Why are you so set on stopping the Bandits, do you want to abolish Banditry or something, seems that your just wanting us "Baddie Bandits" to be a thing of the past, so the Carebears and people who just want to frolick through the fields killing Zombies can do so unimpeded....

They need to strike a balance between "Realism" and "Fun", make the GAME too realistic and it becomes pretty tiresome pretty fast, but if you balance it out with Realistic mechanics and such, and still keep that "Overall" fun factor intact, then you have a good thing going. I've seen a lot of people use the term(s) Realism/Realistic in threads/responses to the effect of Guns/Ammo spawns, but it feels that they are just those people tired of being shot and killed, and want less of those things spawning that kill them...

I'm more apt to run to a spot/building ect. seeing a Flare or Fire or any light source for that matter, than completely ignore it, I believe this would attract people to that spot, not warn them it's "Dangerous"... Maybe if the DayZ Forum/In-Game community seen Flares as a "Warning sign" then maybe people would react to them like you want them to OP, but for now, I feel like your going to do a lot more harm than actual "Good". I would just like to recommend perhaps trying more "Heroic" actions, if you don't want to jump into high risk situations or shoot other players, perhaps leaving a backpack full of food/water/medical supplies in obvious spots with a note saying, "help yourself, and good luck!" would suffice?

I can see this new easier way of reporting "Hackers" being both good and bad, very bad... I say this because while it will be nice to be able to report someone for "Hacking" your going to have an even bigger number of people using this easier report system, to report legit players who got the upper hand on them in a firefight or whatever, I hope people who falsely accuse people of hacking get a punishment of some sort.

There's so many "Bandits" because of how the game is now, but in the future they will add in things that will hopefully get more people interacting and less just shooting, still the Bandit playstyle isn't going to go anywhere just because something like this or further "Survival" mechanics are put in place, it will just force people to be more crafty when Banditing.

I agree with you, I'm not for something that is going to directly effect the way that I want to play this game, just because I don't want to be the friendly happy guy giving out beans to people on the coast shouldn't mean that I should be penalized for being a Bandit... Just sounds like the OP has been shot one too many times and wants some sort of mechanic put in place to put those baddie Bandits in their place...

Nice video man.

Well your doing one thing right, and that's keeping away from Military zones, those places are crawling with people who shoot first ask questions never. I would recommend getting yourself a pair of Binoculars or a Mosin + LRS to scout out a town/city before venturing in, making sure to keep yourself from being exposed in the wide open, so try to move stealthfully from building to building, behind walls ect. so you aren't exposed from all angles. When it comes to seeing someone, it's best to have the upper hand in the meet up, such as, being in an area where they can not see you but you can see them, talk to them normally, and see how they react, if they start acting questionable like raising their gun and twitching around trying to find you, chances are, their going to shoot you, and if that happens and your not armed or into shooting people, make sure you have a good retreat plan in order, ect. Good luck!

I feel you OP, it I seem to be in this treadmill of doing the same thing over and over, getting geared just to go on a High-pop and PvP, think I need to slow things down, and actually try to survive more than a day, but with the recent explosion of problematic players using underhanded methods to kill people if you know what I mean. It doesn't matter if I go fill tilt or slow it down and try and survive those cheating players will "magically" find me and kill me anyways, no matter what I do.

I also feel that it rains far too often in this game, I get it that they want a change in the weather for further immersion into the game and such, but it gets tiresome after a while of always spawning into a server that's raining and listening to that loud as hell rain.

Can you not use a voice mod, seriously can't understand half the shit you said.

Hey let's compare a fully finished MOD to a game that's still in Alpha and complain that there is nothing to do, and survival isn't the focal point and loot spawns aren't perfect, blah blah blah... When the Standalone hits full release, you know when it's not in Alpha/Beta but actual FULL release such as the MOD then let's compare two FINISHED games, ok?

Lol, you and I think very much alike.

No none of those servers you see with No KoS/PvP/Banditing ect. are actually that. These servers typically attract even more people who do those things, such as servers titles, "High-loot" entice server hoppers/looters to join.

1. Melee 2. Primary 3. Secondary ( If using an Assault Rifle, Blank. ) 4. Compass 5. Binoculars 6. Range Finder 7. to 0. Typically are left open for whatever I feel I will need to get/use quickly such as Medical/Grenades, ect. I have my bar like this because these items are typically the ones I use the most and want to be able to quickly access them, as most people would.

If you got killed at an Airfield or Military Base most everyone there will Shoot on sight, no questions asked. Not everyone is going to be happy to see you and want to be you friend, so get used to getting killed over/for absolutely nothing at all, because that's just how it is. I'll kill anyone I see who has a gun, or appears to be geared enough with a pack, which could have a pistol or other firearm stashed inside, been fooled far too many times by people who say their friendly just to be shot in the head moments after.

Good Good, now feed off of that anger and hate and unleash unholy hell upon the denizens of chernarus!!!

My clan and I where just talking about this zombie the other day, wondering where they all went off to...

* LONG POST * First off this thread is in part a rant, and also a discussion on it's topic. ( So if you don't like people speaking their mind, please, leave now. ) So I have played this game for over 1600+ hours, never touched any of the Arma games, so my experiences are purely base off my time in the Standalone. Earlier today, I was heading back from Pavlovo MB, where I was searching for a range finder, found one and a battery for it, and decided to head back towards the coast because that's where my clan and I spend most of our time once where geared up, so I am on the server with two other people, who where in the same clan as one another, so needless to say I was being cautious. I am nearing Balota AF and hear the explosion of the nearby gas station go off, so I go into my slow n' steady approach to the AF, upon reaching the warehouse at the east-end of the AF, a guy with an M4 rounds the same corner, needless to say, me going with the Wild Wild West get up ( Repeater/Magnum + Cowboy hat, ect. ) was grossly over powered by a dude with an M4 so we made some small talk, he tells me, hey, my buddy and I are friendly, my name is even HERO, I check the player list and sure enough one of the guys from the clan is named HERO, so a bit of small talk continues and the dude says, " Its ok to stop moving we're not going to shoot you ", ( Which if you've played this game for any sort of time, that's a loud of BS... ) so I go on to say, " No man, I don't doubt that your friendly, but I've played long enough to know that holding still, gets you shot ". So I tell him that I'm just going to run off and continue my way to Elektro because I need protector cases, and it's a good place to get them. So I run off, no sooner did I reach the center of the AF that a hail of M4 shots go ringing past my head, I say to myself, I F'ing knew it.... Later the LEADER of said clan messages me on Steam to ask me to please come back and help his " Sick " friend, I laugh, tell him I'm not an idiot, and promptly block him... TL:DR: Met a guy at Balota, said he was friendly, went to leave, pow pow pow with M4, managed to get away. *Breaths deep* Alright so how many of you say one thing and do the opposite, how many of you feel that sticking to your playstyle and honoring your word is the way to go, I think it's good to be honest and stick to how you play, be it friendly/hostile/bandit/hero ect. stick to it, be honest with your words, less they come back to bite you. ( If the guys are reading this, know that my clan and I will hunt you down, break your legs, and say don't worry we're friendly. )

Can not shoot through the windows atm, unless they appear visually to be broken.

They really need to work on the "Item Inception" that is going on in this game, it shouldn't be possible to put that sort of gear inside of one another, besides that it causes major desync.

I would have shot too, if people don't want to listen to clear directives, then it's their own fault for getting killed. Don't know how many times I've told random people I meet not to follow me, not to come up the stairs, ect. and then they do the opposite of what their told, get shot and killed, then if someone was with them, they get all mad and ask why you shot their friend, I mean really, are people this stupid?
