Doesn't really matter, Rocket already stated he won't do that kind of stuff.

Well, on the other hand, orange is pretty hot on a girl. And it would give a good outfit to put on the slaves.

The game can't be complete without scripted events can't it? </sarcasm>

Oh yeah calling peoples by age :D I'm 30 if that helps :)

There is no such thing as a DM fest in DayZ, that's your perception. Try to make it better for yourself, because none of us deserve anything from DayZ. Unlike most games where there is a system, goals and mechanics that are put in place by the devs, in DayZ there isn't much of this, so "how it's ment to be played" is basically imposed to you by other players. If a clan decide that they are going to systematically hunt you down, this is now what dayZ is going to be for you, running and hiding. If you refuse this set of rules, either get a bigger group and impose your own, or switch server. But keep in mind it's perfectly ok for peoples to persecute you to the point of making you stop playing. Right now trust is a rare commodity, maybe it will change, maybe not. But in either either you make the best of it, or you stop playing. Again, you don't deserve to have a good time in DayZ, nobody does, this isn't some fun fair ride where everyone get his slice of emotion and everyone is happy. This is a game where every other players decide for you if you're going to have a good time.

Morality isn't a fixed point in space and time, it changed greatly during human evolution and isn't universal to every societies and keeps evolving, sometimes leading to curious things, like considering a woman's ankle to be offending or making canibalism a tradition for generations in some tribal societies. I don't have any issues! I feel fine, thank you for your concern! If i felt that there is a problem with me i would go see a doctor. How realistic is it to dely peoples the liberty to chose how they want to behave and be perceived by others? Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. That's the risk of coming with your arms open toward someone with a machinegun. I got my share of it and sometimes it creates wonderful friendships. Also sometimes it doesn't. Just because, you refuse to take such approach without some kind of protective mechanic in place to ensure your safety doesn't means it never happens.

You could take his gun and enslave him no? :D

It does cost a handful of bullets. I would probably kill an unarmed player on close range to see if he has anything i could use, if i got the bag space. Wasting shots on someone's silouette? BInoculars and see what's going on, but you would probably not even notice i was around. What's interesting is this... almost obsessive way players have to cope with their own death, rationalizing that: I did nothing wrong. (of course you did, if i can see you run around or daydream you obviously don't know where to halt.) I was killed without reason. (how can you be certain of that?) This is not how the game is ment to be. (Who are you to declare that?) This is not fun. ( Why do you think it should be? ) Now i'm gonna kill on sight like everyone else. ( How does it solve anything? )

I'm not even sure what you can kill with a hunting knife, short of dealing a finishing blow, not exactly sure what a few inches of steel can do to a running and screaming zombie.

+1 I had lost hope to ever see this topic brought up on this forum and kinda gave up bringing it up myself.

I don't think "balance" has ever been a worry for the dev team, the game is ment to be brutally unfair.

Yes but that's not what "they" want, they want something that will cripple you.

Yeah i wouldn't mind a few tools that allow overpowering other players, if it's well made it could lead to interesting stuff. If it's not?, oh boy.

You BEING a threat and them THINKING you might be one is just the same. And devolving to personal attacks doesn't help you prove a point Sir.

It works for eve online, everyday, thousand of butthurt peoples, why not here?

IF we go to that i'd prefer if there was some non letal weapons, like stun guns, beanbag and tazers, so i can knock you out, and then decide if i finish you off or not.

Great, give me one good reason, in the absense of law and order for someone not to kill you if they already have friends they can rely on and just stumbled on you, random joe? Should they take the insane risk to trust you (you could be a convict, planning to steal from them, a rapist, a pedophile, hell it's even worse if they are protecting kids) or should they simple put a cap in your head, just to be safe?

Should i mention that bandits as a player type do not really exist anymore?

To give a little example, i play BLacklight retribution, which has a revival syringe mechanic. Kind of funny when you are in a group of 8 peoples and everybody died already twice in the same firefight ( 2 peoples with revival syringes ). That's something that really has no place in dayZ :D

Yeah but this is not ACE, and Rocket can't realistically impose to everyone to use this huge insanely bloated mod, so if anything he will have to recreate this feature himself.

Why would you want to prevent them to do so?

Defibrilators do not revive headless peoples :)

The real threat is other players, the zombies only provide a tense survival backdrop.

Rocket's vision is to let US deal with player to player interactions, we only get what we deserve in this regard. It is not deathmath, that would imply there is a score of some kind to win the game. What you have to accept is that you don't get to have your chance at fun in this game, there is no mechanics implemented to provide "fun". You have to create your own goals beyond survival, and you have to accept that these goals might very well be incompatible with someone else's goals. That means one of you will NOT have fun.
