As a player who needs pills/morphine, my options are to go to a PvP hotspot and most definitely get shot in the back, or shoot a new character and take his. Either new characters should stop starting with pills/morphine, or the loot tables around the world need to be expanded to give these things. EDIT: Didn't think this was such a foreign concept to some people so I didn't bother explaining, but since it is I will just put this on the first post. "There are two major problems here: 1. New players and new characters become a target, more-so than they already were. 2. The player is encouraged to go one route, rather than feeling like he has a choice. Generally, the player has two choices in a game like this, scavenge or steal. Both scale exceptionally well with risk vs reward for reasons I shouldn't need to explain. With this exception, however, the player has three choices, scavenge, steal, or steal from a new character. This completely throws off the balance of risk vs reward and punishes multiple people because of it. The new characters, since they will become a target, and the killers, because they were robbed of a choice."

Unless you plan on running around ignoring weapons, you are a potential threat. I doubt anyone is going to pass up arming themselves in this game, so they die. Last time I let someone live, they gave me a sniper bullet in the back an hour later. It would have taken them significantly longer to find a rifle and then find me if I had just shot them in the first place.

Who the fuck do you think you are to expect people to trust you, a random stranger, with their (virtual)life? The only ones who don't shoot on site are the RPers and the idiots. I don't care if all you have are empty bottles... The closer you are to me, the more danger I am in. The closer you are to the shore, the safer I am. Luckily, I am usually carrying a pack full of one way trips to the shore.

The Psychology behind taking a life (long read)
Otleaz replied to Theonerayman's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There is one glaring flaw in this: In real life, people don't come back to life. There are many things associated with this, but the biggest one is that it is MUCH easier to kill someone after being killed yourself. No matter what the consequences, once it happens to you, you stop caring. -
Yeah, just replace whatever you take with something of equal value. I picked up an m1911 and an AK with 5 mags and replaced them with my Makarov.

Did crossbows get nerfed in 1.6 patch?
Otleaz replied to LeYuno (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Need to be able to stack the ammo... Either that or retrieve used bolts from the body. Totally useless as it is now. -
For the millionth time magazines are NOT clips!
Otleaz replied to DJKhaled's topic in New Player Discussion
The people who preach this shit are more stupid then the people they are preaching to. At the point where you are getting angry over semantics, you need to give yourself a good looking-over. Context invented for a reason, use it ffs. -
The unOFFICIAL bandit skin discussion thread: POST HERE
Otleaz replied to ArrThePirate's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If I was looting cherno, I would make damn well sure that if I see someone else, they die. It isn't like he was just going to let you see him and hope you don't attack him. It is much safer to kill you, loot, and get out of there. Also, you got tricked by an idiot who gave himself away. He claimed to be new to the game, but at the same time found it peculiar that his character had a bandit skin, after describing it in a way that made it seem like he didn't know what bandits were. -
Meh, I don't see why I should put my well being in SOMEONE ELSE'S hands. The guy who didn't see me that I let live could be the same guy zeroing in on my back an hour later. He could choose not to shoot me, but guess what? I would prefer if he didn't have that choice in the first place. KILL ON SIGHT. If they want to change that, add mechanics to change that. Players can't help but kill other players when it is the best way to survive dictated by game mechanics.
-
Yep, this needs to be done. One bullet, a pistol, an empty canteen, and a glowstick.

I heard some talk about a shovel, and while trying to think of what it was used for I figured it was used to bury loot. I haven't heard anything about it though so I figured I would ask: Is it possible to bury items for later retrieval?
-
While I like the idea of burying loot, I'm not going to bother making a suggestion thread. Experience has taught me that the suggestion section is pretty much any forum's garbage can. It would be a waste of time.

Why you want survive in zombie world with not woman alive?
Otleaz replied to filaz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
My left and right hands have helped me through the past 20 years, and I don't think they are going anywhere. -
Actually, getting shot might fix your blood problem.

Stop all development; This must be added immediately
Otleaz replied to Doxshund (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I would just shoot her and steal the 30lb of make up she always has on her face. That should keep me warm at night. -
I know exactly what I am getting into, because out of the 6 times I tried teaming up, 100% of the time I was shot in the back. There is no mystery involved like you are implying... It is just a guaranteed death as far as I am concerned. I have lived significantly longer by just killing anyone I see.

I'm pretty sure winchester isn't as quiet as it sounds. I heard a guy from a fuck-all distance away firing that thing. I was a huge distance from the town he was firing in and it took him 5 minutes to make his way into my range so I could kill him. Choosing the winchester just because it sounds quiet might be a bad decision.
-
Events need to be managed throughout, so you would need a team for every server these events occur on for the duration of the event. You also need to give someone the power to manage the event, which is very dangerous and would require supervision. Keep that in mind while brainstorming.
-
If by, "Huge part of the game" you mean the "YOU DIED" screen, then I suppose you are right. I am totally missing out. I will never understand how people think putting their lives in OTHER PEOPLE'S hands equates to survival. I will team up with friends and that is it.

less likely to shoot female survivor?
Otleaz replied to alchemy1002's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'll answer that question with another question: Is a female survivor less likely to shoot me? -
That is a great story, but you forgot that you had just spawned so it didn't matter if you died. If it were me, I would just attempt to kill them all if they had something I wanted, or walk in the opposite direction. Not like I would lose anything if they killed me.

Is humanity supposed to drop this fast?
Otleaz replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I lost about 2000 for killing my friend when my, "I think I just threw a grenade." wasn't enough warning. We both had 2500 at the time. -
I would get back to playing, but there isn't a single server that isn't full.
