That move would be assholish yes. But I don't kill you to "grief" you or to just be an asshole. I kill you for your gear. You didn't understand what I said.

People go to cherno or electro to fight each other. If you don't want to fight you shouldn't be there.

All high end gear is duped to shit. One guy finds NVGs and in an hour his entire group has one on them and few spares. Then if one of them dies the guy that killed him takes the NVGs and dupes it to all his mates. And so on, and so on.

Well then enjoy not meeting other people (other than your friends) or getting shot.

You get shot in electro/cherno because it's the main PvP area in dayz. People in there take the first weapon they find (might be even an axe) and try to kill people with it to get a better gun. If they kill you then it's one less backchopper to worry about.

You seem to think that FFA DM is not the gamemode of dayz in the current state. Sorry to dissapoint but like I said in the other thread. PvE is of no challenge or reward. And killing people is the best way of gearing up which is one of the main things you have to do in this game. Also the best way of avoiding getting shot.

Then you must be new. Sorry to disappoint but the zombies are zero challenge in this game. They are like flies, just annoyance but nothing to worry about if you know what you're doing. The only thing they're good at is showing where people are since they only spawn around players. About the survival... yeah you have to find food and drink but it's really easy too. Now since you need to find gear and supplies and the most efficient way of doing that is shooting everyone I'd say that FFA is the gamemode. That's the best way of surviving. And PvE has no challenge, so people PvP.

I can't disagree with a single thing in this post.

What? If you'd give me all the things I want then I'd have no reason to do kill you. But how many sets of good primary guns, good bags, tools, food/water and medical supplies do you have? It's a purely hypothetical situation. But yeah, if I had nothing to gain by killing you, then I wouldn't do it, since I know you're not a threat and you have nothing I want, there is just no reason to kill you. The game is designed so I have to find things. But there is a way of getting them more efficient than scavenging. I'm not going around the mechanic. You make it sound like I'm exploiting. I'm still getting all the things that I'm supposed to look for. I'm following the mechanic flawlessly. Lets go compare killing someone's virtual avatar to real life murder. It's a video game that doesn't simulate morality and I don't feel any compassion towards your pixels. I wouldn't kill anyone for selfish reasons (except when defending my own life) in real life but I have no problem killing you in game. Why? Because I don't consider it immoral to kill your virtual character. And why should I?You want morality in this game? Then it has to be ingame. Don't expect people to have feeling for someone else's pixels. No, actually I'm a very nice guy and I often go out of my way to help people that I don't even know. The difference is, it affects their life, not their virtual pixels that they can turn off at any moment.

What playstyle? It's just simple choices. Do I shoot that guy (eliminate potential threat, get his things) or do I let him live (risk getting shot). Where are the downsides of one and other and advantages to one and other option? There is only smart and dumb choice. Right now there are only advantages of killing people on sight. If you want playstyles both choices have to be equally viable.

I don't mean you typed something wrong. I mean you misunderstand the setup. Not playing FFA DM (unless you know the guy) is trying to fit a square peg through a round hole and (because of that) you're always going to be struggling against the setup. Because that's exactly what is rewarded in game. The game fully supports FFA DM in the current state. But that's the gamemode of dayz...

I can trade my one m107 bullet for everything you have.

Well FFA DM is the supported mode for this game. The only reason you don't wanna follow that is some made up morals about other people's pixels. I think you got it backwards.

What a load of crap. They are not a threat? How about after you gave them a gun? And don't tell me they still aren't. The most efficient way of gearing up after respawning is killing someone who's already equipped with the first weapon you find. I've had people chase me with axes just to try to get my m4. Do you really expect me to believe they don't shoot you the moment you give them your gun? Unarmed people check your backpack for weapons if you let them too close, take it and shoot you in the back of the head the moment you turn around. If someone would give me a gun I'd shoot them and take their shit. Why? Because I don't have to look for loot anymore, I've already found everything I needed and saved myself around an hour of scavenging. It has nothing to do with being an asshole or getting frags. It's just the most efficient way of gearing up, which this game puts pressure on. You don't want people to do that? Change the mechanics. Give me a reason not to kill you because I have none at the moment. And no, I don't care that you've spend hours getting your stuff. I don't care about the pixels some guy I've met on the internet collected. And I don't expect or demand other people to care for my pixels. And I have a good laugh from people playing "the hard mode". Making up rules of engagement because the game is just too damn easy if you don't put yourself in danger intentionally. Why not play a "hard mode" without backpack or only crawl.

Hunting people.

I agree that bitching about being ripped off is idiotic but too many times you people have flamed someone talking about broken things or suggesting things and told them to "suck it up cause it's alpha"

Rocket needed testers but he didn't have enough so he made it public so that people can test the mod. People come to the forum and give feedback on what doesn't work or what's lacking. That's a crucial part of testing. And you tell them to stop. What are we doing here then?

Numerous times I've seen someone come here and say this and that is broken and this and that is the his suggested way of fixing it just to be told to suck it up cause this is alpha...

Agree. Every time someone talks about broken or missing features the whiteknights tell them to suck it up. Aren't you supposed to give feedback in alpha about what works and what doesn't?

Probably just what zombies do except 300% faster.

How do you test game mechanics as a goat in wilderness.

Wow someone harassed you by killing you in a video game. You should sue him.

In real life I go out of my way to help people but in dayz I kill everyone except my friends on sight. And it has nothing to do with being an asshat. Killing everyone is the most efficient way of playing. They can't kill you and you get their shit. Now I look for loot only if I need car parts. Everything else I get from the people I killed. Plus killing players is the only challenging thing in this game. It has nothing to do with harassment.

You're not helping either by bumping the clutter after the question has been answered?

How's that gonna work? If someone kills a guy with thermo, they will take it and dupe it to all their friends and camps. And then it's gonna happen again, and again. Hiding bodies could only work if someone would leave a rare gun in a body or when I would kill someone with a rare gun that I don't need.
