Full server and no loot = run Full server with loot = fire axe to the head (quick and clean and move on) Empty server with loot or not = practice my marksmanship if I have ammo

When the zombies are THE threat in this game, that's when KOS will be a lesser option. Until then, I trust nobody but kill only when I'm in a 'no other options' situation.

Death match today - hopefully survival tomorrow. More Zeds, hunting, persistent objects, etc will hopefully turn this into the game I imagined when I purchased it. Great fun until then...

It also doesn't take minutes to wake up either... Beating someone to death bare knuckle is not really a survival method as you'll have hands that don't work. That part of this game is uber stupid....

Inland is your friend... You can run a long ways inland without food - there are certain types of houses that get overlooked with lots of food items...

Experimental is in some ways more difficult - people are desperate due to the lack of loot and thus, unpredictable behaviors. I've been KOS in all servers regardless - just a large portion of the game at the moment...

Because COD Free For All analogies have ZERO relevance when traveling the streets and airstrips of Balota or NW airfield... I'm done here and we'll have to agree to disagree then.... Next time you call someone out, when you get riled up on a point for some strange reason, try not to use derogatory references like 'console jockies' on a game that will likely have a large audience via console in the future. We can leave the master race and COD hate to every other place on the internet... /communication

I think I'm being misunderstood - much like your 'console jockey' phrasing is interpreted as 'awesome' by myself... Free For All meets zombie apocalypse is the point here... If you are arguing with that, you are just arguing...

Selective listening is your culprit - what part of Free For All is beyond your reading comprehension? COD clearly strikes a nerve for some reason - so insert Halo, BF, or any other Free For All supported game and you will get my point...hopefully....

I game in all forms - and I didn't say it had anything to do with COD - but if you can't see my meaning, you need to peep outside the DayZ game for a bit... I stand by my analogy and believe you've backed it unintentionally in your post...

I like the idea of crafting here. Maybe not for the LRS from scratch, but in repair maybe. Binocs should be craft able off of nearly any optic IMO. I'd just like the ability to look through the scope without it being attached as a near term option.

Airfields... Where COD Free-For-All meets the zed apocalypse...

Not that I've ever found in standalone.

Shhhhh.... It's a secret.....

Meeting fiedlies should be celebrated - hoping more of that when the game ends up more 'us against the zeds'.

They are in the hangers mostly - if you can get there in time. Just be sure and smile for the snipers as you pause.... :)

I have a counter proposal - make it even more rare or eliminate it and add binoculars or spotting scopes to residential areas. Evens the playing field and would give me no reason to join the airfield death match.

Nothing about this screams 'Zombie Survival Game'. That's why I bought it and its a long ways from it obviously. I'd rather play Titanfall for my KOS fun - but even then, I like a team environment. Something about the free for all mindset that is just not appealing to me personally. Carry on however as it is 'do what you like'...

No spaghetti handouts for me - I gave up on trying to help others - been killed by the helped more times than not - that's my problem with the game. To be clear, it's MY problem, if I had some real life friends who played I could approach the game 'differently' - but solo and friendly usually translate to next victim in my case anyway. I get that people are bored and killing others is their entertainment - just wasn't my idea of what the game would be about exclusively. I'm sure they'll worth this out in future development and greater zed populations. Until then, I'm the guy running away in the cowboy hat you are aiming at... :)

It's responses like these that make me want to put the game down for a while. Not saying you are 'wrong', just wasn't what I wanted in the game. More Zeds please - until then, I stealth my way through the game and dabble in other titles.

,if they don't fix the availability issue and or crafting issue on sticks, they need to patch in the ability to suicide. Real life option and crawling for 2 hours isn't fun...

Over 150 hours in the game and approach every situation as a friendly. I can tell you that it's a 1 in 5 encounter on both experimental and stable servers for me. I find a direct correlation to how geared you are, and how likely you are to be smoked waving at someone, kind of frustrating and frankly until they put the Zeds as a greater pressure, a LRS or fully equipped M4 will get you KOS very quickly...

I've been trying the 'don't KOS' since I got the game and have over 150 hours in it. I'd say it works about 1 in 5 times - the rest are just ending up on the wrong end of the transaction. I can't wait until Zeds are the required focus for survival to right this equation. Until then, I'm reconsidering my philosophy and looking forward to 3/11 for a proper FPS.

Found some 9mm ammo!

I updated experimental. Then updated stable. Went back to experimental and now updating again at 900+k. Very strange...
