If you shoot everyone on sight, you are the part of the real problem. Also, I think there is another thread about this. Have you tried doing a search?

Haha.. I got a good laugh out of the idea. I'll have to think about it.

Have you considered working with the freeside trading post? If that's not for you maybe create your own organization or join an existing one? In DayZ you are responsible for providing your own objectives.. The type of reward system you're talking about doesn't seem in line with the spirit of Day Z, Imho. If all else fails to remedy your boredom, there Is always the respawn button. :)

Kudos to the other guy for thinking on his feet. I'm almost sorry you caught the Bastard. He was brave, that's for sure. No way should there be a bag permission system. One of things that makes DayZ great is the possibilities afforded by a lack of structure. More structure results in less freedom and makes the game less open ended. I'm opposed to both of those things.

I wonder how many other people, besides myself, haven't had any encounter with hackers, or problems with any of the things that are supposedly 'killing' the game. Let's just relax, instead of getting all shrill everytime we go over a speedbump. Edit: I'm glad the survey above just confirms what I already believe.. just another alarmist post..

I only get to play maybe 5-7 hours per week, on a good week. Some weeks not at all. I would be opposed to such resets on the grounds that I would probably not get very far before each reset. It would be pretty tired to have everything reset once I started to make some real progress.

There are some pretty good tutorials Built into the single player Arma 2. I ran through a bunch of them before I started playing day z and they did a pretty good job of explaining how to use the sights and the alternate sights on weapons.. if I recall there is a section on it in the night time tutorial.

Barbed wire isn't useless as far as containing zombies, a friend and I found a factory containing a few setup tents and all entrances covered with wire. The main entrance had three or four wirefences layered very closely in front of each other. While looking for an alternate entrance we aggrod many zombies from inside the wall, and most of them got stuck in the wire. Maybe 3/4 of them.

I'm not sure you would need to implement any additional penalties other than being unable to eat 'normal' food. I hardly ever see any other players in game, and I don't have the same problem with being fired on immediately by all players I come across that I hear of.. maybe i'm just lucky. Also, maybe lucky again, but I've never been killed on the beach after spawning. Maybe those complaining about being killed on the beach are those who loiter in the open when they should be running for the treeline as soon as they spawn? Maybe people need to change their behavior instead of something else being de-incentivized.

What if you could only be a cannibal if your humanity were low enough. You could lose your taste for canned food and only be able to eat human meat from that point on. That sounds like fun to me. :)

No A combination of direct and side chat works fine for IFF. Humanity would be best if removed entirely, IMO. It would be more helpful if pistols could be lowered/holstered similar to main weapons.
