Do you think I will listen to what you think is the right way to play a game? If you state that my way of playing a game is wrong, you are at the same time making it clear that your own view of said game is quite narrow... Sorry, you failed.

Reeks of trollpost.

Since when is server hopping in the same area for multiple loot, avoiding others and killing them from behind from an area they just checked before turning their back, any more hardcore? You are circumventing the very essence of the game dude.

Not at all, it's just that I can actually live with the thought that someone else shot me to death and stole the gear I spend hours gathering. Without crying like a baby...

I will call this the retard post of January. Seriously dude, just inb4 anyone else?

Revenge what exactly? If my character dies the new one doesn't care for the previous one's death. Never been robbed, only KoS.

I rest my case.

"blah...wonder where I'll spawn next"

I'd have to disagree. People who KoS are in general not trying (it seems) to determine if you are enemy or friend. They kill, and will never know if that dead person would have been helpful or not. That is not the best way to survive in such an environment. Eliminating a possibility before you can even confirm or dismiss it due to paranoia....well, I would stay miles away from that person in a zombie situation. No player can know in advance, and killing on sight eliminates just as many postives as negatives, but in a real life zombie situation I'm guessing more positives than negatives would cease to exist. Killing others, if we are talking realism and such, would simply home the zombies in on the last man standing...you.

Even though this game seems to clearly revolve around the fact that you are a lone survivor, that you have no way of knowing if the person you meet around the next corner is friendly or not, that the game is centered on survival with limited resources....people "solve" it with TS and the likes to make it into a tag-team hunting ground. People play the game the way they want, irrespective of the creators intentions. That is why we have this discussion; The different ideas regarding what this game is about.

@OP - I agree on your idea, but sadly it's probably impossible to guarantee.

I have taken to the habit of collecting all the rotten fruit I can find, intended for that next KoS moment when I can tell my killer "Enjoy the fruit snapperhead".

Game is severely limited... People lack imagination... Powermongerish tendencies... Go figure. (Ooman nature)

I could be wrong, but I suspect after that action no one will be around to hear your words... Only madmen speak when alone ;)

I guess this sums it up pretty well. If there were 200 legit servers and 1 no-KoS server, the KoS people would raid that server just to be douches... Hard core players can never allow someone else to play in a way they despise. Human nature and all that.

Humans are playing DayZ, faith balance will never go above 0, mark my words.

It is kind of funny, I have completely failed to foresee what would be the most annoying aspect of this game. That is sort of a new thing for me to be honest. Is it being KoS by another player (That includes being fully stocked on the good gear, Mosin with long range scope etc.)? Not by a longshot. Is it being reckless and falling off the roof of a building and dying, maybe even fully stocked like above? Not even close. Is it having your character reset when you log in? Nah, not really, after all it's early alpha... Is it spawning, then roaming for food and water for 2 hours straight and then die of starvation 100m from a house you can spot has probably not yet been looted? You betcha. *Off to a 24H DayZ cooldown period.* Have a nice weekend :)

Worst player or just riddled with bad luck. I dunno, searching every house in sight, follow some road and search every house in next village. Repeat. No, absolutely not one single item that is food. I've had about 10 characters in total, 5 have starved, 1 KoS'ed, 2 killed by accidentally jumping off roofs and 2 were reset by login. Going to lose a bunch more though, as I have some ideas I'd like to try out, like crossing the map in boxers and t-shirt without carrying a single item -.- Besides, sandbox games are my favourite and I have the patience of a stone, so it's not due to bad searching.
