Observe the behavior of the people you meet, often the 'tone' in their voice says alot. Don't trust people at all if they have their weapons drawn ready to fire or their axe up. If they have booth weapons on their back you can trust them a little more but not 100%. If you meet guys with a tick russian accent yelling 'friendly, friendly, friendly, friendly ' while dancing around like crazy with an axe in their hand, shoot on sight or there is a 100% chance you will see a black screen pretty soon with the message 'your dead'!! Also where on the map you meet people also can be some indication of their freindlyness, in hotzones like airfields you just have to assume that they are gonna kill you(most of the time) But there is never anything that can make you 100% sure, you just need to take the risk sometimes.... It also helps that you also have your weapons on your back to take away a little of the paranoia from the person you meet, because you atleast appear more friendly that way. Never trust anyone with a clown mask haha These are just some of my observations and expirience in the game so far, god luck finding friendlys.

Hahaha, so true, but I wouldn't trust those other 10 guys to much either, been killed by them often too, that's why I avoid contact as much as I can and only observe them from a safe distance. I only trust real life friends in this game. Could anyone confirm wether the walkie talkies work at all? I have 2 walkies on my stable char. They are always turned on when I play, 1 on the default freq and the other on the second freq. I have been calling out on full servers, listened everytime I play, I have never ever heard anyone talk or got an answer to my calls. Im starting to think that they doesn't work... :( One time I even broadcasted number station streams for 8 hours on a full server, but I never know if anybody picked it up...

Yup, that would be server hoppers looting up for a new KOS fest(in servers with 3 people offcourse)

I never go to airfields ever and avoid hotspots like the plague(don't need an m4 or mosin to survive and camo gear is easy to find even in small villages far north), I tend too keep for myself and avoid to much contact if Im playing alone and not with friends. Im out in the woods in the middle of fucking nowhere, but still, I meet people, all the time, even when there's only 10-15 people. I often just observe them without letting them know im there and let them pass by:). What part of 'where I least expect them' didn't you understand? When I said that I wasn't talking about hotspots obviously... I have seen alot of people in Zelenogorsk, many times, infact I have come across people all over the map...Even as far up north as Grosovoy Pass.... Instead of running like crazy, take time to walk, use your eyes, stop and observe your surroundings, and you WILL see people....

You must just be really 'unlucky' if you don't meet people on a full server, my expirience says people can be everywhere, and I often meet them where I least expect it even on servers with only 10-15 players...Also, it could be that there is alot of lone wolfes that are infact observing you, without your knowledge, because alot of people try to avoid contact because it often ends up in a firefight.. The zombies, yes they are pretty rare....especially on populated servers

So you log out if you get kidnapped? If so, how is that even good roleplay?, it could happen in a real apocalypse so why don't you just roleplay the situation you gotten yourself into.... No this game does not permit rape, has anyone ever said that?(personally wish that it also was one of the game mechanics and that it also had torture and cannibalism) Well, that could easily be circumvented by shooting you in the leg so that your bone breaks, then you can be handcuffed while you try to crawl your way outta there....lol

I tought getting kidnapped, handcuffed, getting a burlap sack over our head was part of the game, and logging out while in such a situation is considered being a bad sport(pussy). I prefer bandits that do some crazy shit with me instead of just KOS me and take all my shit wich is boring. I find it entertaining and it adds more to the game than just kill or be killed....We need more roleplay and less KOS, and kidnap people I consider good roleplay. I have always liked dayz because of the weird situations and people that one meets in the game adds, If it wasn't for people abuseing people and being creative with what they have this game would have been just plain boring. I love all the diversety I meet in dayz, friendly people, naive people, nervous paranoid trigger happy people, bandits, heroes, lone wolfs, phsycopats, axe killers lurking in the night and heck, even the KOS'ers. We need all these roles to make this game intresting+the zombies and survival aspect on top of that...

LOL, if those 2 guys still sit in that same building after 2 days and still waits for someone to come after them(he posted the 14th), then there really must be something wrong with them....I think someone already has taken care of them, probably just one guy, and the OP doesn't even dare to say because he would be ashamed of how much they suck at playing this game... Only thing they are good at is bragging how they have shoot countless defenseless bambis while camping in a building in Elektro...

I just found your post very contradicting and it amuzed me a little, because in the first sentence you talk about how rape will traumatize people, then further into your post, you see nothing wrong with it, but continue to say that it's wrong and should never be part of dayz. Then you proceed to say your all in for torture(like that wouldnt' traumatize people). I just found your post a little funny and contradicting that's all, it almost looks like your argueing a little with yourself here what's bad and whatnot :lol:

Okay okay man. Then I say, I want torture to be implemented as a game mechanic, so just call me an idiot, moron, dickhead, pervert, mentally ill or whatever, I have started getting used to it B)

In the mod alot of people had night vision googles, just 'pretend' that it's already implemented in SA(because it will sooner or later). That way it's just as it always has been, there was always someone that could see you in the mod too. And it's exagerrated how many cheat with gamma, I have yet to stumble upon anyone who sees me at night as long as I keep my flashlight off(and I almost exclusivly play at night when I can find nightservers that is populated)....and if you want 'night vision googles too', just turn up gamma, simple as that. Really, so no it's not legit to server jump because of the night, heck most servers runs 'day only pussy mode' anyway... There are plenty of options, flashlight, headtorch, flares, campfires, gas cans that has lights....what more options do you want? Only things missing as I see are generators with electrical lightning and the head lights of cars.. Lol, I feel like the ambassadour of the darkness because I feel pretty lonely out there, and I keep bringing it up everytime someone mentions night, almost no one plays at night on hardcore servers. It's rare, sometimes there are and the best dayz SA moments I have had has been at nightime on populated servers.

What is bad about having realistic night cycles? Being a survivor without having to survive the night doesn't sound like survival to me. I would say, force everyone into the darkness and remove these 'day only' pussy servers.....Also I would like to see freezing tempratures added at night so having a campfire would be essential for survival, would make the game more intense at night because the fear of anyone seing your camp very easely. I miss Namalsk, with freezing temps, nightime, blodsuckers and earthquakes, where heatpacks and campfires was essential, now that was survival, not teaming up would almost mean certain death. Ah good times

Maybe you should see a doctor, because you worry to much about what other people say, can't be good for you, it could evolve into stress.... Take a chill pill and relax man....No one is forcing you to read this thread.... Oh no, what did I do, I promised myself to not post replys to you but here we go again ^_^ . A never ending circle of hearing how an idiot and moron I am and that I need to be examined by a doctor and alot of bullshit. Im perfectly mentally healthy but thanks for your concern, caring about others is good:)

Yup, but doesn't mean we can't discuss these things even if it would never happen..I find the subject to be very intresting, and also how much people can handle before it becomes just too much...

It's a survival/zombie apocalypse, so it would be plausible to have such features as rape, torture and cannibalism because it would happen in a real apocalypse, and the more 'real as it gets' just adds more value into the game for me. And I say it again, it's up to the mods to decide wether this discussion is against the rules or not, and so far no mod has closed it. Thank god it's up to the mods to censor things and not some self acclaimed 'forum' police that seem to like calling people morons and idiots just because he disagree. As I also said Im done arguing with a guy that calls me a moron and idiot just becasue you disagree so Im ignoring your posts from now on, don't even bother....you won't get any more responses from me. B) Have a nice day sir

I don't see it as legitimate reason at all to server hop because you hardly find any server out there that runs nightime. I think the Arma engines are the best out there when it comes to nightime, all other games seem to display night as having some magic invisible night vision googles where in Arma engines it's dark, as it's suppose to be. Dayz at night is so much more fun and scary and creepy than during day, just turning on the flashlight can be scary as hell. Had an incident one day where I was in a forest in the middle of fucking nowhere and I tought it would be safe to turn on the flashlight, all the sudden I hear a creepy scream and I turn in the direction the screaming comes from, then I see this mad axe killer coming running towards me, I instantly turned the flashlight off and run like hell with my pulse in the hundreds, almost shit my pance..luckily i got away(whoever that was, thanks, you made my day) The night is what makes Dayz shine in my eyes, lurking around in the dark looking for loot being more on the edge than usual because I can't see much is just awsome, I even turn the gamma settings down to even make it more dark. I love to start out as bambi at night just for the extra challenge. I would say force more people into the darkness by having ALL servers have booth day and night cycles, because now it's really hard to find night servers with people on. It's so rewarding when I see the sun come up again and I feel relived that I survived yet another night in the apocalypse. Everyone that only play day only, miss out half of the game, having a campfires in the darkness is also fantastic with the nice light effects in this game(will even be better with the new DX10/11 renderer), it also makes zombies more challenging if one doesn't have a head torch. And also then you would have to always look for batteries and other light sources just to be prepared for the night. Day only players can just throw away their flashlight and save inventory space for more ammo to use in their next KOS fest...

No, it's not neccesary for survival, but it would happen in a real apocalypse, so I think the game should reflect that too(personal opinion). Then the 'heros' would even have more people to track down. Offcourse I know it would never happen because the world is not ready for it yet, so no publisher in their right mind would implement it because it would be banned in most countries. But nonetheless I think it should be open for discussion. Without having to begin namecalling and start personal attacks just because people disagree... And im not seing 2 people insulting each other because of torture, what Im seing is 1 guy arguing to implement rape, torture and cannibalism, and another guy insulting that guy because he gets offended because someone would want such features in a video game ^_^ Ain't gonna argue with a person that can't have a discussion without getting personal and start calling people idiots and morons just because you disagree on something...

What incentives would that be?, if it would work then Im all in...Anything that really prevent server hopping is a good idea :)

But people will still sever hop to get all the beans they want to survive easy and just continue with the get geared quickly and go to the coast and start KOS'ing bambis, sad but true....Private Hives may help a little but then all these 200+ vehicles easy survivor servers would popup and most players would choose the easymode..... I suggest we get a 1 hour timer on server switching, that would take care of most server hoping, introduce it when beta gets out because then the game should be stable enough..And never let the admins get so much power as they had in the mod, ever....

You should go and see Lars Von Triers movie "Antichrist" after that expirience having rape in Dayz would look harmless, because that movie is really fucking disturbing...even for my moral standards on what should be allowed in movies...

Could not have said it better myself, people make all kinds of excuses to server hop. I think it's to damn easy to get fully geared even on a full server without making any jumps. The whole point of the game is to survive with what we got, and not just magicly get fully equiped with military gear in 10 minutes and then go out for a KOS party. The only real reason people server hop is to get an m4 or mosin or sniper and then head to the coast to kill bambis and feel so satisfied and think they are the best Dayz players that ever walked on this earth, pathetic, ruins the game for fair players.

I think the mods can decide for themselfes when to lock posts and not, without the self acclaimed forum 'police' need to interfer.... If you are offended by people discussing this, then you can choose NOT to read and post in such threads, and let open minded people have the moral discussion and let the mods decide when to close threads or not... Also, rape is one thing, but I would also like to discuss cannibalism introduced into the game, this thread fits good for all these things... I would love to see cannibalism in dayz. Then I would start a weird satanic sect that picks up freshpawns on the coast and kidnap them into the dark woods for weird rituals and then slay them and eat them afterwords...Would be great for some crazy roleplay..doesn't mean I would do such things in real life...human flesh is just too sweet for my taste :lol:

Well so is murder and killing, but we still have them in games...but I see your point, no publisher would dare to sell a game with such content because it most likely would get the game banned in most countries..
