Gave away the AKM I found yesterday to a friend and decided to get a new one. So I headed for the NW airfield. When I reached the NW airfield the server said "restart in 5 Min.". So I logged out, made a coffee and after a few minutes logged in again. Before and short time after the restart 15+ players were online. But met not a single Person on the whole airfield. Felt like the land of milk and honey, except I didn't find a AKM, it's a AK101 now. :P

I don't. ;-) And of course I know the current loot table is not the final. It was only an example. Don't get me wrong, KOS is, and sure will be, part of the game. But nonetheless the game should be more than a shooter. Not to log in and kill everything should be the thought you have, when you start playing. It should be to survive, what includes to defend myself (shoot somebody, because i'm not sure if he wants to harm me) but also cooperate with others if needed. The right balance / combination of these two things should be the goal of the developers. (of course this is all my personal opinion and I don't demand that everybody sees it the same way). (I hope it can be understood what I want to say. Sometimes I have problems to finde the right english words for what I want to say ;-) )

I didn't say that I can solve this by thinking for a few minutes about it. It's the job of the developers, if they want that. They decide what the game will be like. But one is sure: As long as Players have more than enough food, clean water, ammunition... and can shoot every moving thing without thinking about the consequences... it's not much more than another shooter. And I would like it to be more. :-)

I would suggest: Make survival on your own so hard, that you NEED to cooperate with other players from time to time, to handle difficult situations, so you have to think twice because killing every moving thing in the game could mean your own death too. But thats just my opinion. ;-)

I really love this mask. :-)

Just bad luck. Today me (and 2 friends) met 3 different Players on the NW-airfield (one after the other) and everyone of them was friendly. The first weared a blue helmet with a red backpack, so we decided there are no snipers at the moment ( :P ). We changed ammuniton/magazines with him. The second had no gun at all, so we told him where the SKS is, we left back for the AKM and he was happy. And the third one was the admin of the server so we talked for a while with him. Was a real surprising day. :-) (of course we have been cautious first, two of us stayed hidden and secured the third one, when we asked if the player is friendly ;) )

That's the point. I totally agree. And I hope the game somewhen reaches a point, that you from time to time have to cooperate with other survivors to handle a dangerous situation, not just shoot everyone you see. I don't talk about banning KoS from the game, but limiting it by the own needs of surviving. But to balance this is sure very difficult for the developers. ;-)

How do you torture people in days? Not at all. I've never and I think i will never. I am friendly. :P

That was the reason my character died yesterday. I was in a building on the top floor, all rooms empty... somebody shot from outside and i saw a Player run into the building. I focused on the stairs to be shot a few seconds later in my back from a player that (must be) logged in there.

best way to have fun as friendly person: play with your friends as group or find a group to play with outside the game, f. e. in the forums. ;-)

Are you talking of the barracks up the hill in the forest or the aeroplane hangar on the airstrip? Really i've been to this barracks a few times, but there was really not a single item. Maybe i just had bad luck, but i was confused, that there was really nothing, not even damaged or ruined stuff or things the players drop, when they find better gear. ;-)

RIP - killed yesterday. :-) my new character, started today... i know he won't live Long cause of the coming reset...

Nothing to do with fear of darkness or nighttime. Just simple greed and fear to lose all the things gathered. ;-)

Uh... yes, you must be a real real man... you dare to play a computer game... where it is dark... because it's night... In the dark! Jesus, you must be so tough. :P

Never heard of the red light district and what the red lights are for? :P

I hope there is no real endgame gear. Sure there will be better/worser items, depending on play style and what you focus on. But surviving should need a constant search for items you need. :-)

... because this will work well. I would wonder if you find only one person to tell your "shopkeeper story" without beeing killed. Or do you mean to play a shopkeeper who kills all the others on sight? Then there seems to be no difference between playing KOS without a story behind the character. :P

I think you know that the answer what to do during rain is more about the minor issue of my post. ^^

Nobody wants you to do this... you can also leave your character alone, go outside and smoke a cigarette... or take the rain as toilet break. :D But I hope it will be the way, that you have to avoid rain (without clothing to change), that it is difficult to find food, that most water should be boiled before drunk... no real life simulation, but realistic survival game. ^^

Yes, we'll see. I hope so. ;-) Sure, can't say right or wrong. But there are playstyles I like or I don't like. :P

I agree with you. But for me there's a difference between KOS and KOS. for example yesterday I spawned new and after 3-4 seconds (not lying) I was shot by a sniper. I wasn't even able to walk more than 5 meters. What's the sense of shooting a real new spawn as a sniper? He is no threat to you (no weapons), he hasn't even seen you. So there's really no need to kill. That's not part of "surviving". Sorry. No it's no whine. I can handle the death of my character. All I've lost is 30 Sec. of play time. So no big deal. But don't try to sell me a CoD play style as "was needed to survive play style". ^^

Don't trust the server names. You are NOT safe on this servers. The admins may name the servers "PvE only" or "only loot, be friendly" but they don't have a option to force this rules. So always be aware that on this servers are also the KOS-players (kill on sight). btw. I don't like the KOS-players too, but seems we have to deal with. Best option for you is... finde one or two companions to travel and explore together. It's much more safe and it's much more fun. But also as group you will sometimes die. Try to see it as a competition. Survive although the zombies and players want to kill you. And to die ingame is not that worse. Most of the stuff you found you will gather again in short time. And I'm sure the more survival elements are implemented, the less CoD or CS:GO players will play the game, although they will never disappear as whole. ;-)

Mh, first time I did a "bad" action in this game... we wanted to try out the handcuffs... but I think it was not toooooo bad... we were stealing his Longhorn, but we didn't kill him... afterwards we gave him something to drink and food, a pistol and a sporter. But can you imagine that I actually had an guilty conscience? I'm too weak for this game. :D Thanks, I'll remember. ;-) btw. RIP the character showed on the quoted picture was killed yesterday. :D

Hello there, I'm new to DayZ SA and asked myself: Is there a Camouflage-System, f.e. the distance enemy players notice me from is shorter, when I wear Camouflage-Clothing or something like that... or is it just like in reality, that Camouflage-Clothing only helps me to be seen harder in f.e. gras? Sorry, if my english is bad, it´s not my native language. Dirrly P.S.: For all the Bandits out there... what is the purpose of robbing everything, even my clothing and then tell me to run away as fast as I can or I would be shot... why should I'm be afraid of being shot? Without clothing is even worser, then starting a new character. A new character at least has pants to store something. ^^

In know what you mean, bro. ^^ In my 40 hours played untill now I have killed zero players, that didn't attack me first (or threadened with death). Sometimes it was my death, but... I don't think my behaviour will change in future. ;-) But I already have. Met a guy at an airfield and we talked for while, traded ammunition. Not often, but you can. :-)
