This guy wins my "A**hole of the Year Award..." [Removed, video acting up]

Sorry, video constantly screwing up... I'll do my best to fix it...

Racism FTL.... ^

So, I haven't played in a really long time, and I hear that now there are no bandit skins. I am very much a carebear, :blush: but instead of complaining about how much I hate KoS and mindless PvP, I will continue with my question. I dont like killing people, unless I have reason to. Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way in this mod, so what tips can everyone offer for me? Should I grow a pair, and kill people, or if I see someone, try to avoid them. Is it good to confront people shouting friendly in chat? I really dont want to be killed by players, but I dont know what the norm is now with this new patch. Help?

Yeah, that has been my stance for now Dallas.

@Prometheus - Interesting, thanks for that. @Soal - I very much agree with those, and I am willing to help anyone. ;) @Riska - Dont get me wrong, you make any sort of threat at me, and I will try my best to kill you with a Makerov. I just dont like killing people who dont know I am around, or who didnt have the intention of killing me to begin with. For example all- I consider myself very much like this guy:

I know they wont be added, I was providing examples of places where the guitar would fit best. I still think its a good idea without safe areas.

Call me a carebear or what have you, because I'm sure you will anyway, but, "NekoSteamBoy" I am totally on your side with this one. I've wanted "safe areas" for a while, and having a guitar for everyone to kinda just gather around and listen to while they take a breather or maybe go AFK for a few mins would be really nice. Honestly, in STALKER, I found myself sitting through 2 day cycles of in-game days just sitting around with those guys, listening to the music. So honestly, it would be nice to have some music that players can produce while everyone is just trying to settle down. I'll accept my immature "CAREBEAR!" comments now from you kids! :)

....Like leaves, grass, and other brush......??? Shouldn't be too hard xD

Yes it does, thank you. In which case, I am very much a "Care Bear" as I do prefer PvE over PvP in Day Z, nothing wrong with that, not like I am forcing it on you too...

I agree, the spawn timer is basically a player trying to get anywhere that has some what of a valuable thing to it. We can respawn instantly, and then run for 20 mins in order to get somewhere useful, thats enough of a spawn timer.

I dont know if I like the timer. If escaping by disconnect is not going to work anymore, then I would rather make an attempt to evade and hide for 10 seconds, instead of giving a free kill to someone for 10 seconds. I dont think the timer is fair, or will work.

Let me help you out, Walker. ;) VENOM (not safe)

Had the same problem in the past, has he tried reconnecting? One day, it just fixed itself for me.

You do spawn back in where you DCed...

Personally, I am going to take the minority here, and try to get into a CIVIL discussion about it. --- I think bandits NEED punishment. I understand, not everyone chooses the life of a bandit, however, every single time I (as a poor survivor) tried to get supplies for my own survival, I was shot on sight by a bandit. This is NOT what people would do in a real situation. If anything, they would hold up the survivor, steal his stuff, and run away. Thats what a bandit is. In this mod, a bandit REALLY IS a mindless killer. I have escaped with a friend more north, and inland, and we have had one hell of a time surviving, sheltering, and such. We are having sooo much fun, but anywhere on the southern parts of the map, its a team deathmatch between survivors (with a single pistol) vs a bandit with a sniper, full auto rifle, or a revolver. THAT is not fun. If I wanted killing for sake of points, I would play BF3, COD, or any other FPS. Hopefully this made since, and shed some light on my stance, I am looking forward to hearing people's reasons why the current bandit's actions are acceptable.

Um... what?

EDIT: Actually, I decided to censor myself here... so I wont cause any drama, but just know... I HIGHLY dislike you guys... (The Gang)

How sad... hope it can all get worked out. I have yet to experience any hacks, I play US1/US6.

I also second that. I had 2,540 at the end of yesterday, got attacked by a bandit, killed him, and got sent to 720 humanity. I do feel that the humanity system needs an overhaul, but its still pissing me off that bandits insist on ruining everyone's good time. Unfortunately, you then get the hardcore bandits saying "THATS WHAT BANDITS DO!" but I just dont understand why its so fun to play Call of Duty style...

Oh crap... I dont ALT + F4 when I am under attack, but I do ALT + F4 just to disconnect and close my game at the same time. Its quite the process to disconnect, get back to the menu, and close the game, and ALT + F4 is always an easy way to finish my gaming for the time being. Should I not be doing that? Or is the only problem an ALT + F4 when someone is under attack? Thanks for letting me know in advance. ~SLADE

I personally have never had problems with anyone at Legion. However, I have never confronted one of them in a PvP situation, but my first time EVER on one of their servers, I saw: "Kicking player to make room for admin" not too long after I saw: "Alex, find a safe place" And finally I saw: "Alex was kicked: To make room for admin" To me, that is how things should work, I saw no problem with that. They told everyone what they were about to do, they chose someone (at random? I dont know) and gave them time to prepaire for their next re-connect, and finally, kicked him with a public message to all users to make sure everyone knew. I havent had problems with them, and I play on US1 all the time (I think they run that...) so for me, no complaints here. What I do find odd, is that there are people with so many complaints, that tells me there MAY be a problem, and hopefully they get it sorted out. Now... a clan that IS full of a bunch of pricks... *cough* "[TheGang]" *cough* is an entirely different story... ;)

I second that, +1

Maybe just start displaying people's humanities next to their names, so people know who to trust first.
