Avant-Garde

Wow such argument 10/10 I can justify KoS, you are failing to defend your point dude. Get your shit together if you want to debate something, being agressive doesn't make you right lol. "I don't like KoS so its bad and you suck, plus play like me and the game will be great" Indeed very funny.

Shit boy, I just tiped a lot of arguments and this is the best you got? What, I should be a carebear then? I should play like you, then I'll be doing right? See, I don't even KoS but you makes me want to lol. I said it doesnt even fit my playstile, I'm talking about why KoS is such a common thing and makes total sense to be so common in the situation Chernarus is (chaos). Maybe you should go play some The Sims maine, L4D is a good call too...

The one who has not been looted yet. I just wander through the map in fact, I go everywere.

Dude, I just shoot when I know that it will be lethal. The risk outweights the reward if you are with a shitty weapon or if you are bad at shooting. Anyways, hidding still a better option then make friendly contact if you are bad at shooting. Why is the reward argument not valid? You spend 1 single bullet and take home a full gear, I fail to see why this is not worthy. Many times I as a fresh-respawn-who-just-got-a-mosing-with-a-single-bullet got fully geared after KoS'ing some hardcore tacticool operator dude who just got way to confident with his m4 lol. No way in hell I would make contact with such guy. The devs should give us a lot of tools for socialization like torture things, non-lethal weapons and a harsher enviroment that force cooperation to an extent, but that's all they can do really, the rest is up to how does one conceives surviving. Then you are doing it very wrong, I mean, NEVER a zombie will be a bigger threat then a human, just think about it. The zombies are like the animals, they are dumb and predictable, easy to avoid and easy to deal with if you know what you are doing. Now the humans are the ones who can and will do really nasty things to you. Unpredictable as fuck and you simply cannot trust them because there is a fight for resources and for survival happening in this chaotic scenario.

Well what do you want then? DayZ will never be a coop game in a zombie apocalypse, KoS is actually the safest thing you do to keep yourself alive (and will aways be, as well as it is quite rewarding, people are loot piñatas and you trade 1 bullet for a whole gear). Unless you don't have a way to KoS, then you should try to steath and gtfo, if that fails, then you should be the best man on earth and friendly as fuck otherwise you are DEAD (yeah and good luck being friendly and make the stranger trust you). That's a pretty effective way to roll, but I don't go like this personaly, I like to try to capture my victims or just steath pass those who I don't want to kill (most of the people). If they are in a group and I have a AKM+Drum mag, then I get psyched and do not rest untill they are all dead. I like this, its pretty ruthless and a real challange. Harder zombies might force cooperation to an extent, but don't expect any miracle lol, this logic will not change. I mean, if you face other players as an eviroment danger just like zombies, KoS makes all the sense and in the end and most of the people will care for their own lifes. And the big question, why risk yourself and try to talk to someone? Why do you trust strangers? Also, combat logging is Cancer, learn to loose. Its not easy to hunt people you know.

Dudes doesn't even know how to backstab, easiest thing to do in this game lol For that, they deseved it

You are an evil man, how can you sleep at night? This boy needs therapy for sure, what a psycho

I kill people for anything they might have when I'm a fresh respawn. In fact I don't kill them, just punch them in da face and take what I want. When I have some gear, I'd rather stalk people or just break their legs for no reason and then leave, lol. I like to see how far I can follow someone until he/she notices me

You should then become a psycopathic medic who inject wrong blood tipes into people and laugh while they die

HAHHAHHhaHAHAh goddamn combines

Fucking annoying bugs, game breaking things because they haven't implemented the mechanics at its full potential yet, hackers, ugly as fuck and out of proportion interiors, lack o vehicles makes this game sometimes a walking simulator, melee sucks so hard its not even funny etc, etc. But it is one of the best multiplayer experiences I have ever had, totally worth it 10/10 would buy again. Just wait till this beauty comes out of alpha, beta and becomes gold, fucking GOTY man. Seriously, you should buy this because is so unic man, great game. The PvP relations are pure videogame gold, you will not find this anywere else.

I like your idea man, I said about Chivalry but in fact it is a very complex mechanic for this game's scope, imo its a nice "guide" on how to make a good and interesting melee mechanic. All I want is dynamic swings like we already have, where you better aim with the animation then with the crosshair, tthey just need to make the animations more trust worthy so we can stop lmb spaming and playing loto at every melee encounter I understand that it is an alpha, and thats my fear. I don't want them to dumb down the melee combat in this game in order to be easier to implement, since it has a GREAT potential to be fucking awesome.

I like this too, very nice imo. You know what I would like to see in said panic moments, some hardcore wierd ass "music" like what we have in Silent Hill games when you encounter those fucked up things that scare the hell out of the players. Imagine you running away from like 6 zombies and finding shelter in a house (lets imagine zombies would not phase through walls lol), you lock the doors and hear their agony scream, they start bangin their heads on the walls and doors while the game puts an ost like this playing since you start running from them: I think that dynamic ost based on your player psychic stattus would be great for the horror element in this game. Imagine something like this plays also when you are beating someone to death with an melee weapon, or when you are being tortured lol

Well their great contribution for me was to make me wander in more isolated parts of Chernarus, thus, make me know better the place. Also zombies, even when they fix them all and add a lot of them and all that, they will not be the most dangerous thing because zombies are predictable, now a person is not. A zombie woudn't backstab you or do crazy shit with you. Bandits are the real challange lol

Dude the best you do imo is to be a wanderer in Chernarus. Go from town to town without a clear objective in mind if not just knowing Chernarus and getting references for your further travels. Never used that outside game map site, and nowadays I don't even use the ingame map system because I can get to most places with a compass and referencing myself using towns. Its a pretty cool experience to get lost for a long time and then you find that little unlooted town that gives you food, drink and a reference!

Does Dean read this forums? If so, Dean, add this man it is a really awesome idea please Dean, thank you Dean

True that man, a class system and a harsher land would do miracles for this game. I would like the added challange in lone wolfing, as it is now its pretty easy and in fact I never find the necessity of cooperating, unless the other person have a way to easily kill me, then I'm all friendly lol.

Very nice and respectable sir! I think more on the moment you see, dayz is the complete chaos situation and that makes people do crazy things. I like the possibility to be this agent of fear in a chaotic situation, its a big responsibility you know lol. I think that is somehow good for a civilization too, because fear might get people more united, and zombies by themselfs are not really a danger right, they are predictable (unless they are in big groups or you meet them at disadvantageous environments)!

The good - ranged weapons in general, funny/scarry people you meet ingame, gud graphics even with my potato computer, one of the best games I have ever played due its unic experience. The bad - melee, pitchfork and everything that doesn't have axe on its name, hitboxes lol The ugly - every interior in this game seems out of proportion. Sometimes looks like I'm in a doll house, refrigerators, ovens, chairs, tabbles you name it, all seems too small. The ceiling is very low, the stairs are small and you can notice it by the handrails, same with doors, hospital beds etc. They need to stretch some polygons imo lol. I don't care for fully funitured interiors, but things are out of proportion man :(

I find wierd people who likes to be heroes, because in order to do so you need an antagonist, and if you like to be a hero then you somehow like your antagonist and are willing to keep his existence. Maybe you help people so they can be bandits and you can justify your actions. Such seems to be life in Chernarus, how do you deal with these deep moral and philosofical questions? Since I'm moslty a bandit/lone wolf it is just survival of the fittest, things seems to be simpler. Why are you a hero?

I also just lone wolf, my companies are aways temporary. I find it a good challange to stalk someone until his guard is low, so you manage to capture him and then have a lot of fun breaking his body parts with a sporter 22, and doing him good things in general. I would like more options to do with someone you captured, it would add a lot in the horror side of things. I was thinking about chasing people with some melee weapon, at night, while this plays on the mic: Will post results

Its a scarry weapon, people use it to shoot you in the dick multiple times :o

Yeah that is very true lol, we need something simple but really functional and realistic

Yeah it would be awesome, imagine a good melee system to use also when they add bayonet and things like that. Basic blocking/parrying would be really nice.

I belive it would be fine if we could tell them apart. These stalker zeds could be heavly contaminated and have a creepier skin because of it or behave diferently from the normal horde and make diferent sounds. So if you were being followed by one or spotted one, you could deal with it before making a next move.
