Why should it have consequences? This game is suppose to be a survival simulator of sorts, in the real world, being a bandit gets you hunted. Being a bandit should have consequences because a society cannot function where everyone is a killer and bandit, society would be in chaos and then completely fall apart.

lol, its not spawn killing that bugs me, if you die as a freshspawn, it doesn't matter. It's the current status of the community that sucks. The fact that being distrustful and a bandit gets you everything you need when being a bandit should have its perks, but also its consequences.

The reason the community is the way it is is because there are no consequences to being a bandit or just straight up killer. In rust, when u get close to the player, you can see their game-tag, if they voice chat, it says the name of the person talking, if they kill you, it is in the map chat, they cant combat log because their body will just drop to the floor, if they kill everyone they see, the whole server will turn on them and raid their house. There are ACTUAL consequences to being a bandit in rust, being a bandit in dayz gets you everything you need, you don't have to worry about anything. No one knows who just killed a player no one has any way on communicating besides running up to you, which obviously no one is gonna do, killers can just log whenever, there is a lot the dayz team needs to do to fix the community, but don't give up on the game yet man, they'll get to it.

also, i just want to mention, these ideas wouldn't be to stop banditting completely, bandits are part of the game, some people enjoy being hunted. I'm just shooting out ideas, so people wouldn't feel like they HAVE to shoot on sight to stay alive and also to make sure there ARE some consequences to being a bandit

I get what your saying, I wouldn't want some giant nameplate over my head in this game too, but some feature, like a combat log that says who killed you. or a general chat where someone can say if there is a killing in what location. Yes, names are easy to change, but someone who has to change their name constantly so they do not get hunted.....that play style would mean they have to log and change their name a lot, I'm sure after a bit, theyll just say fuck it and stop changing names. Right now, there isn't much to stop people from server hopping, but that doesnt mean we shouldn't inplement things to keep track of kos'ers and bambi killers, because at some point they'll fix server hopping. Hell, with the new patch theyll have to wait five minutes to swap a server. If they want to do that just so they dont get a bounty, then i'd be fine with them having to wait five minutes everytime they realize the server is coming after them

I only have 2 servers popping up and theyre both hardcore.....

nope, no one has posted a pic of them either

so, is there no respawn for loot? ive literally ran from solnichney to novy sober and have found a hammer and water tabs......

hey, so I've been spamming the join buttons and sometimes it says connecting to server, then after a couple seconds it says connection failed, is that due to the server being full or is there problem on my end?

There are 6 us experimentals, i know there are separate servers for different regions of the world, but i dont know how many..

I just spent about a half hour clicking to join the 6 servers they have and haven't been able to join because they are full....it's tuesday at 1......if someone cant join now, just imagine when everyone gets off work and school......

lol, some dude on sniper hill in elektro has a clean shot on a bambi and a pack of wolves show up. Would definitely change the focus of the game i think. Idk if accessories would be a good thing to add to a game where things of necessity are the focus, but there's definitely a lot they could build off of with hunting

Im at the NW airfield, second story, i crouched to pick up loot and am now stuck in a room that hasn't been built into the game yet. i can't get out, i've relogged, run around the edges. I have no idea how to get out, i'm afraid this might end badly.....any suggestions?

yo, i found a fix for myself, dude was literally in the same spot as me for anyone else in the same position, just keep running towards the part of the wall you clipped through while logging out, then log back in. U cant just log out, u have to be running against the wall

as helpful and as good advice as all that seems, im still very stuck, ive tried all that, i've relogged against a wall about 8 times already and ive been spamming v while running and walking, ive rolled while prone....i'vwe tried /stuck in chat lol, any more suggestions?

Honestly, if you were running through town, blasting music like that, I would figure your just bait, waiting for me to give away my position so your buddy can kill me. I would stay the hell away from you....but I think most people wouldnt be that cautious so idk man...maybe they just liked the music.
