If you are testing this game you should be using the latest one ;) I think

True, in a deathmatch. In a deathmatch there is no advantage...just grab a gun and shoot. I'm stubborn and stuck on the idea this wasn't meant to be a deathmatch. Luckily I'm still able to play. I just need to remain invisible to other players. Which kind of sucks IMO. Thanks

I do like this idead...it adds something to the game. But I doubt it would curb the type of people I'm talking about. If I were forced to make an assumption about the type of people I'm referring to I would say they are borderline psychopaths at worst. Complete and utter assholes at best. They enjoy ruining other peoples experience...these are the people I want tagged/flagged/skinned whatever.

The answer to your first two questions is no, and i could argue that your advantage lay not in the shotgun but in your willingness to use it. In other words the advantage is yours only if you take it. As it stands there is no X or Y in the game. That's all my suggestion would provide....the ability to tell X from Y.And it would effect a VERY small number of players as you would need to be reported for murder 50 to 100 times in a 48 hour period to get flagged/penalized. IMO this would only effect players who are murdering everyone they find for shits and giggles. IMO this is NOT a valid style of gameplay. I don't consider game balancing to be a matter of making it fair. I consider it an issue of playability, accesability, and staying true to original vision. I was an ARMA fan and player since first release. I knew it was unforgiving coming in but again. My suggestion would mainly (i hope exclusively) people who are murdering for count, murdering 25 to 50 people a day. I don't agree that one necessarily implies the other...just because a problem is not directly effecting US doesn't prove there is no problem. That is fouled reasoning IMO. It's like saying I'm not starving so there is no reason for others to be starving therfore starvation is not a problem.

Their advantage is total disregard of other people. There two types of people those who are considerate and fair and trusting (call them stupid if you'd like), and those who will hit another person over the head with a tree limb for that shiny rock they have, or worse, because they like the sound it makes. With no system rule of law that definitely puts the branch swinger at an advantage. I believe what rocket actually said was The things he tried to address it left a bad taste in his mouth, and that for the moment he was going to wait and see if the problem could work itself out. I maybe wrong as I have not gone through every thing rocket has ever said. It's just what I heard him say. And either way...I dont think indescriminately killing just for laughs is a valid play style. It says in the OP When you die a message comes up "you were killed by xyz" . I know I know...this wouldn't happen in real life. :sigh: I never said this was "totally fair/realistic" Its just a suggestion. Stop exaggerating. Agreed. And I play quite well. I've been murdered three times total. Once by a sniper. Twice because i didn't shoot first. But the fact that you're statement is correct has zero impact upon whether or not the balance of the game is broken. IMO. And I may be mis-interpreting what you wrote but it looks like you said yu can undersatand having a problem with "kill to kill" which I interpret as "kill for fun". I know there are too many posts to go through everyone but I have stated this is what I have problem with. Killing for supplies is fine. My issue is with people who kill for shits and giggles. And I thought my suggestion would definitely target those people because in what I laid out a player would have to be reported for murder 50 to 100 times within a 48 hour period to be flagged.

I know...you are absolutely right. I can't help it though. I appreciate your trying to help

I apologize when i'm wrong...i did just a few posts ago. And I did say I could go about it more politely on the first page(s) of this thread, and explained why Im so angry. I don't apologize for being mean though...that's a choice i made and a silly thing to apologize for. You did distort the facts. You said I called "everyone" retards and assholes. I could call it lie but that would offend you and produce a conditioned response. You see when you twist the truth like...even slightly, all those "disadvantaged" folk who don't read through the posts to get some perspective on the conversation (or lack of) before dropping their insights assume it is the truth. I'm guessing when i say i called maybe 7 or 8 people assholes or retards in this thread (just a guess). Those slight distortion of truths are the tactics FOX news uses to influence the stupid. Which is where the Murdoch insult came from. Lets talk about truth...am I angry and mean?...yup. Do I twist truths to win debates...nope. Will I admit and apologize when I make a mistake?....yup. Will I apologize for calling a load of shit a load of shit? .....nope sorry. Am i open to dissention and debate?...yup Am i open to insults and mis-information? nope. The subtle twisting of truths like this are rampant in society and eating away at peoples ability to make informed reasonable decisions.. IT MUST BE RAGED AGAINST and dragged into the light...no matter how ugly it is

Destroys it? really? I mean you still spawn with just a band-aid and painkillers and torch. Which is still pretty hardcore. Personally I am an advocate of spawning with nothing at all

If by he you mean marteen or martin or whatever. First he said i was asking him to read a list and memorize it. Second he said he would have to see the nameplate....you know what I am wrong on the nameplate issue..apologies. I was confused with the original post I made about this on another thread. Where i footnoted that because you only see the players name when they kill you so there was no need for nameplates. My apologies to Marten for that mistake and thanks for pointing it out. That post also said you can report someone for helping you too, creating a database of hostile and friendly players. But someone stated in an earlier post such thing already exists.

Because he did not read my OP. If he had he would have never made those remarks. Unless he's ummmm......

That's what i was trying for here....obviously i fell short in many's opinion

Just for the record....I never in any post called anyone an idiot or asshole for thinking I was wrong or it was a bad idea. I did when either they insulted me for simply making a suggestion they thought was bad, or for lying, distorting truths, hyperbolizing or commenting without even having read OP. How you engage me is how I engage you...both in game and out. Don't cry because you fired a bb gun at me and I fired a cannon back.

sort of, only different.

Thanks for the insight

This would have to happen 50 to 100 times in a 48 hour period...if they are that determined, kudos to them

Really??? I was not aware the game displays the name of the player who kills me....I think you are wrong in that statement or maybe it is a server specific thing. And lets face. alot of them ARE idiots and deserved to be called such. Not for being wrong, but for lying, distorting truths, hyperbolizing or commenting without even having read OP.

You are a liar HAWK. The definition of advantage is NOT all i responded to you with. But this is how weak minded individuals debate, They lie, distort facts and hyperbolize...because they have no logical ground to stand on OR because they have trouble comprehending what they read, in which case they should refrain from commenting on others text.

Good points. It works in basically 2 situations, if i come face to face I have a couple of extra nanoseconds to make a decision as what to do. And if I'm casing an area and see hostiles. Remember it would be pretty difficult to get this tag. I said in OPA person would have to murder ALOT (50 or 100?)of people within a 48 hour time period. I thought it might be an iteresting idea because it requires almost no new game code at all. Only a little website dev.

Kudos to you for reading my original post. As I stated, under this system i will personally send a "memory coach" to you're home to help "memorize" the list of names. And the "nameplate issue" I solved by clearly stating the nameplates would be In big pink flashing letters. Read a little more carefully next time. IDIOT!!!!!!. next.

i think people would be fair about appeals. Obviously not every one rags like I do....but I can see how you think they would (NOT). Yes that is in my profile...I say nowhere though that every discussion needs to be intelligent If you come at me with intelligence and thoughtfulness I will reciprocate. If you came at me with insults and imbecilic logic I will insult you back and call you an imbecile. I didn't call "every one retards" I asked those people who seemingly have comprehension problems If they were retarded. Honest question. I didn't call "every one assholes" I call people assholes when they are both moronic and insulting, It saves me time. So at the very least I can accuse you "distorting the facts" The reason you distorted them?

Yep..leave us only with handguns...and lots of ammo. This will make pvp up close and personal

i stole it....i'm a bandit

Oh c'mon....don't cry just cuz i called you a couple names...it's not like i killed you or anything ;)

DO you see i'm the kind of person who's always dying in DAYZ ? You don't know that. You're just full of shit. Like assholes are ;)Real life apocalypse? really? asshole
