I do not kill on sight, if you have a weapon I'm going to maintain the upper hand and make sure that you drop it. If you want to play "suicide by cop" and turn with a gun/axe or rush me then you'll receive that which you seek to give. I play this game for the interaction, I've had far more fun meeting people and fighting with them than fighting against them. Simply killing someone who is no threat, unaware of your presence and has nothing of value on him to loot... is just easy and weak. If someone is threatening to shoot you if you don't comply and you'd rather die, then don't comply. If you don't wanna talk, then don't. If you don't want to fight then don't. But being seen doesn't mean you have to die, why you're so eager to I haven't the foggiest.

HAX!!!

Best: Trusted a guy, gave him a loaded gun, we became friends and he's saved my life quite a few times since. Worst: Didn't watch my back after parting ways with a guy who claimed to have no ammo for his SKS. Damn you Stempy!!!!

I want the game to record brief clips at every hour that you've survived, then show you a flashback of your life when you're dead, closing with the you are dead screen that fades to white.

Then don't play that character, if its your regular character switch to hardcore. So you can keep your pristine character for when you can store all that loot and play HC in the meantime.

IKR, I don't even bother with them or saline bags anymore. Bandages/rags and a splint/morphine when full healthy/hydrated/energized and I go from grey to color after being shot w/ a Mosin in minutes.

Its only brown nosing if you're bucking for a promotion, this OP has nothing to gain by saying Thank You. He has my beans.

Hey was the guy you called Wood named Woodrow in game?

I like the Machete for its accuracy and speed, one blow to the back of the head and they're down. Otherwise you've gotta hit em in the face at least 3 times. Which is easy given the speed but its a hassle when they're getting up and going back down. Axe is still better, besides, you cannot crawl over to a tree and cut it down for sticks for a splint w/ a Machete.

On the UK hive of Experimental I've noticed that when I log into regular or hardcore its the same character just with or without 3PP. I was wondering if this were possible or desirable for the Stable hive? I know I would certainly play differently if I only had one character. There would almost be no reason to play Regular for me. I prefer Hardcore but I keep my Regular Stable character max geared + rares (E1911, Press Vest, Kitted M4, Bipoded Mosin, etc...)

You do realize that zombies are moving targets too right? Whatever, you KOS types will always try to justify your weak play style.

I always go to Balota and its airfield. But then again, I don't play DayZ for deathmatch. I have other games for that.

I like that DayZ is "boring" at times. When you think you're safe and alone hiking around inland... then in an instant you see a mere pixel move in the treeline, or you hear a shot that was aimed at you and YOUR HEART STARTS POUNDING; and ITS ON! Constant action CoD style where the maps are designed to funnel you into conflict constantly doesn't get my heart pounding because it doesn't have the "boring" lows. "Without the bitter, the sweet ain't as sweet." - Vanilla Sky I don't think this is the game for you OP, especially not in Alpha.

The opinions of the Kill on Sight types are utterly without value to me. I don't even wear Military Gear but if I saw you shoot someone because of their clothing, you're next.

Whenever I spawn I work my way to Elektro to get my cases, then to either Balota airfield or NWAF and the Military base to the south of it. Once I'm fully geared I run around the map checking the Train stations for a Press Vest. If I have that and an Engraved 1911, I just hang out in Balota, maybe sometimes run the coast to Kami and back. But Balota is my home, namely the Green House on the road.

IMO the Machete is best,1 to the back of the head kills, takes like 3 direct hits to the face which is annoying because each one drops them to the ground. But you can swing it REALLY fast and accurately.

If your vision is hazy go to your video options and it'll clear up. Also try being bright green hydrated/energized.

"I've also heard that the game has accumulated a large number of these "doomsday prepper" type people." Yeah? Where?

I try to adhere to the "Don't get too attached to your character" mentality when it comes to encounters. I try to move as stealthily as possible, always with a M4 drawn because I keep my Mosin on my back and I always try to maintain the upper hand in any encounter. Unless I've got my Press Vest and Engraved 1911, then I am very averse to encounters. I only fire if fired upon, generally keep my distance, evade, run or tell them to move along.

My macro key for AutoRun on my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard,

When I first started, and I'll admit I did some server hopping back then (my 1st 75 hours or so,) I would aim for the emptiest servers and I'd keep checking the server list. Every time another person joined my heart would beat a lil faster. Now (~375 hours in) I always go hardcore w/ the highest populations, especially if there are experimental servers up. I want as much interaction with other players as possible, and I never shoot first.

I got stuck in the 2nd floor middle room of the police station. I kept shooting out the window hoping I'd get someone's attention. Ended up logging out facing the door, then spamming W when I relogged; that always works for me.

Generally I avoid the Berenzino deathmatch but especially on Experimental when I have a new AK and 75 round mags to play with. You'll NEVER find me.

Alright, but if you're not at least on the level of Mr. Blackout or FrankieonPC then I shall not sub. Edit: Video's are quite short. Edit 2: I've watched them all, so far I've seen you do little interaction. Just a bunch of KOS videos. My advice, less music and more talking. But I was surprised by that food/water glitch.

Gotta love all the bullshit excuses from unskilled KOS noobs for their play style. But in all honesty, I love you guys. You give me a reason to kill, you excite me when I now can demonstrate my ability to sneak up on you, you ruin my clothing giving me more reason to explore to get my rare look back, you give me a reason to protect (or avenge) your kills. You KOS noobs complete me, without you the game would be rather boring. Every hero needs a villain.
