Karma for the KOSer

I know there will always be some KoS, it just needs to be an occasional thing. Right now it's all over the place, bullets flying everywhere, not just in big cities and military zones. In the current state of the game, I don't feel it's any different than a COD or Battlefield game. And what I am saying is if it stays like that when the game is officially released then I might just stick with Battlefield where the bullets physics and general gunfights are way better. DayZ needs to have it's own identity and do everything possible so that it doesn't become just another shooter.

Are people really telling me to man up in a .... video game ? This really has to be one of the nerdiest thing I've ever heard. I am talking about game mechanics that are broken or haven't been implemented yet since it's in alpha phase. Keep your role playing for in-game guys.

In my opinion if nothing is done to control KOS in some way, the game will simply be just another shooter (on a very big map) and not the special game I was waiting for, that's all.

How to create a game in 2014. Give PC users alpha access for 30$. Use them as alpha/beta tester for one year. When the game is complete, release on consoles.

You are very good at making crazy assumptions. I have played all the FPS you mentioned and lately I played BF4 a LOT. Which is EXACTLY why I'm requesting a fresh game with very limited pew pew. Like I already said this could have been something new and innovative but no let's keep the good old gaming recipe.

Which is why I proposed to create a HUGE inventory of melee weapons to kill with. I would be okay with extremely rare guns. I just don't want this game to turn into yet another pew pew game. Well we will see in a year and a half when the game is complete I guess

This game really had the potential to be something new and innovative survival game but no. The dumb crowd want their games with guns. Please give us another COD, Battlefield, Arma game. Let us KOS and pew pew on sight, snipe from tall buildings etc, etc... That's why movies like Sharknado are made. Hollywood knows what the crowd wants.

No wonder Dean Hall is leaving the project after he realized he brought the cod kos pew pew fan base to its game and now it's too late the game is doomed.

Why not have a chainsaw that you could only operate if you have fuel ? Or a lawn mower, like in Dead Alive ? No need to talk to them with that.

As the title says, if this game wants to be something truly special and stand out from the crowd, it needs to remove guns. When I saw an article about this game, I was excited because it felt like it was something really new and special. And it was at first, when I had no weapons and was fleeing zombies, swimming to small islands to save my skin. Then I got guns and other people got guns and I realized this was just a standard shooter in a very big map. I would suggest instead of guns create a huge inventory of melee weapons (and of course improve melee combat). That way, you have to get closer to people and have more interactions with them. Survival needs be harder. Food and water would need to be more scarce. Zombies much harder. That would force people working together, but you could still get axed in the back which is okay since you would at least be able to judge if you trust someone or not and let them come close to you. Seriously this game right now feels like COD only you see someone every 5 hours or so.

Yes... Survival need to be much harder. Resources like food and water need to be much harder to find. Zombies need to be hard to kill and in much greater number. Because right know the brain dead zombies are the ones behind the keyboard since the game is so boring. Right now It's like a common COD-like FPS shooter only the map is 100x bigger.

So is this because it is alpha and major updates are to come or is it going to stay broken like this ?

So this game is about spending hours running around the map and collecting loot and then dying in a fraction of a second without ever knowing what hit you ? I have literally passed something like 5 hours running around trying to find people with whom to interact with and then I get killed on sight instantly. I have been kos about 5-6 times now and I have yet to get a single interaction with another player. Is this supposed to be fun ?
