We never actually owned a server We played on the public hive back in the day, we just designated 3-4 servers at random each time we did it Well one if our guys owned a sever for about a month at one point but couldn't afford to keep it going, which was also public hive

True, there were times when it went against us and we did lose some battles It wasn't so much to do with the fact we were killing bandits and changing their mind, for example a guy once got pinned down and we killed the guys, he was quite thankful and we fixed him up and sent him on his way Some people you can't change, but when you've got good stuff and some guys come rolling in and save your life, back then people were grateful and wouldn't just kill you when surrounded by a group who probably had hidden cover too It's more about showing a presence and that we are there to help Just a shame it's only me now, due to hackers or boardom with dayz they all have up You also just reminded me if one very persistent bandit on the public hive once We were locking down cherno Our medic got sniped so we shot the bandit Next thing he server hops onto the tower killing the other guys of mine on there We managed to take him out and regain control No lie..... He tried again 7 times to server hop onto the tower in the exact same spot to try and kill us again That AS50 that we had must have blinded him to a rage so strong he wasted a whole day trying to kill us using the same tactic But I'm going way off topic so in gonna stop posting now

Ok then if you say so Yes you will kill us all, because all 20 of us sit on cherno tower in one massive fat group so we are easy pickings Keep feeding your ego and getting an epeen boner over that you think you can "own" a group you never seen in action It's typical "in invincible" 12 year old speak No one cares And no we didn't use any map hacks to find people We used skill, patience and knowing what fights we could win or lose unlike you who thinks you are better than everyone else

Actually you can help stop KOSWhen my group had over 120 members we locked down 3-4 servers at a time hunting bandits and helping people Those who KOS were hunted over and over until they left and gave up We made a lot of friends Only reason we gave up was being harassed by hackers taking a liking to having 20 clan members on a server and nuking use over and over This just proves that only the community can change it and not any game options or punishments Ill never KOS, but DONT say it can't be done when you don't have a clue just because all you know is KOS Have you ever got a group together and spent weeks in a server gaining a reputation and trying to help those that only KOS out of fear? I doubt it, so you don't know if it can be done And just to clarify, in not attempting to stop KOS and banditry I'm just trying to REDUCE it and help those who are borderline or killing out of fear and want a place to call home

Not once did I mention you can't express your opinions I clearly stated that some people come here not to express their opinion but instead feed their ego by telling people how great they are at the game

I can see why some if you are posting here Clearly your ego is so big for the server you play on that you had to spread it here If you have to tell everyone on a forum about your awesomeness, then you actually really have none If your any good, you wouldn't need to tell everyone

Well I recently spend the last 3 weeks playing on a server, and logged in last night to find they had added self blood bagging and donation perks Checked the donator gear and it's all top level stuff and straight away spotted a 4 man squad with verchiles (admin replaces all lost verchiles once every 24 hours to donators) And they also all had dmrs and the best backpacks, plus them and others were taunting the other players who hadn't donated Ruined my play on that server and I'm not going back And they even had the nerve to write on their picture on the loading screen "vanilla dayz" and also in the title of the server

I wouldn't care if it was just something like a custom skin, but most servers provide really stupid things. Ive seen clans donating with one guy, killing himself over and over to start with dmrs and other weapons for one group, one server I checked their website and they allow you to get an AS50 for $20 even though its normally disabled at the moment Unfortunantly most of the servers are like this nowadays, and its ruining the game. I think many admins don't even play, they just create a deathmatch server and have loads of pay to win loadouts and get the money from it. Which is utter bullshit as I don't want to have to research EVERY server I try and go through their website to find they have this shit

Nice video, the second guy I would have probably shot, as he didn't drop his weapon and was looking around for you, kept aiming at you. But that's just me Apart from that, very similar playstyle to me :)

I'll be going up to the first player I find "He-" BANG I die He gets ripped apart by zombies attracted to the gunshot My thoughts: Here we go again

So im trying to place a tent or wire fencing and when I try to place it it tells me to rotate using Q and E, which simpl just leans side to side. IF I try and move, I get told im moving too fast and I get stopped. Ive asked on side chat, and people say right click to place to tent, but all it does is aim. Ive tried logging out and logging back in,which places the tent but then it disappears on server restart help?

Thanks fluxley, but im not getting anything like that :( Holding the buttons doesn't seem to do anything for me, and theres no option on the scroll wheel to place anything or complete it :(

Thanks Vicco I do what I can, you got it spot on I cant help everyone, I cant kill all the bandits, but I can stand up against them, which is something And there have been times where people have admitted to me they were going to kill me on sight (a few, not many) after I saved them, and I know some people have changed their ways because of some of the encounters Ive had with them

I can imagine it now Dayz in real life Guy gets hands on an AK Sees survivor "Hey mate-" BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANGBANG BANG BANG BANG WOOO A BANDAGE Runs onto a farm Sees survivors building a defensible position with stocks of food OMG! HUMANS! KILL IT! BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANGBANG BANG BANG BANG "I don't need these guys who clearly have a long term survival plan who I could have helped defend! Im fucking invincible! WOOOO!" Survives for a few weeks on the farm At some point gets a cold or some other illness Heads for medical supplies A survivor comes out to greet him "Hey buddy im a doctor-" BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANGBANG BANG BANG BANG "IM FUCKING INVINCIBLE!" Steps on a nail while leaving, A couple of days later, infected wound from not bathing for god knows how many months. Foot becomes unwalkable, dies of starvation while crawling and screaming for help An infection will kill you pretty nastily and painfully Movies are made for entertainment purposes and cant really reflect an accurate real life apocalypse. Those who are smart will survive, killing every other human on sight would be retarded and get you killed unless you a Spec Ops+ Doctor+ farmer+Builder+Mechanic+Martial arts expert who can run hundreds of mile at full sprint with a .50 in your arms plus a pack full of heavy gear

Ah ha I recently got up to 4950 humanity and was eagerly searching for someone to break the hero point by blood bagging when I crashed my SUV Lost a good 400 humanity for that somehow so I guess that confirms it

And yet that 90% of servers are run by 12 year olds and players who watched Frankie and other videos about bandits and think that's all the is to the game Of course the majority want that, because the only games they have played or want to play is where they shoot people where as it's meant to be survival and not a death match That is the reason why there are so many KOS servers and that's because most of those wanting to play dayz in a survival sense have left so of course they don't even come into it anymore They don't want to work for their stuff because it's ''boring" apparently Hence all the top servers are "spawn with dmr, full tool belt, 2500000 million verchiles and self bloodbag" It's because they know nothing else and arnt meant to be here

The fact that a KOS server is one d he most popular just goes to prove that the majority of people are playing it the same as any other deathmatch game Do you not see the problem? If most servers are catered for KOS then the majority will play KOS with one or 2 populated survival servers If suddenly everyone changed their servers to hardcore survival they would be the most populated if the opposite were true and only a few servers had KOS as the main feature The problem is all the players who joined the game thinking from the word go that it was a deathmatch The stand alone just like arma is not meant for the casual gamers and is meant for the minority (which will follow the similar path the arma 2, not so much caring for profit but instead aimed at a certain kind of gamer) Proof is in the many videos from rocket, he is trying to keep the games who want survival and not a COD clone that had zombies and food

Yeah it's sad but true, I've been on many servers where admins hack or have their own "admin tools" which are not actual hacks but their own or purchased scripts server side I've had admins find me plenty of times when there is no way they could, example is a whole squad approaching and knowing exactly where I was hiding just because I walked into their base Had the admins openly admit to cheating and had them stalk me because I ran over their friend who shot at my car, they ten teleported to me over and over until I left the server

I think a timer for each spawn is necessary as I resent shot a bandit and he was back with a hachet in elektro before I had finished looting him Luckily it wasn't a server where you started with a gun otherwise it would have made my whole play totally pointless

Boring for you mate I like both killing (those who deserve it) And helping or non lethally killing if I can (I usually go for a kneecap if possible) Where there's 1 (me) there's 10 more like me I want balance and options to kill or not and disable a threat over killing re outright You don't speak for everyone, what have you to say to that?

Well there's always the argument that killing in real life means your wasting peoples skills Doctors being the main one Of course bandits will survive, but only in their lifetime, once they are dead for whatever reason they are dead Friendly people usually think long term, creating medicine, farming, building a settlement Even some bandits would rather join a community that's surviving by farming ect than continue in the wilderness surviving and starving If your smart, you don't kill everyone in a town to survive on their foods and goods for a month. You join them and protect it and live in luxury for a year or more (or as best as will be avaliable in the apocalypse) As a bandit in the long term you have no future, every engagement is a chance of death With people working together and sharing and defending their home have a better chance at a long term future Which is something sadly most people fail to think about

Exactly, I've been playing on te public hive recently as I have a hero skin there and could have used a non lethal weapon recently I got shot at by a survivor with a lee Enfield, his friend ran towards my area with a hachet while his friend covered my approx location (behind a wall) The hachet guy ran to where they last saw me and I shot him as he approached after I said "don't think because I'm a hero I won't defend myself" And lost a load or humanity, killed him and his lee Enfield friend came running He turned the corner looking another direction and I could have knocked him out with a non lethal weapo and taken his ammo or gun away and got away but I shot him instead now brining my humanity even lower as they were both survivors skins I think the game actually needs these kind of weapons, even a tazar would make me extremely happy

I found some chocolate and beer in the game the other day But what really did it for me was the cream cake I found :)

So here we are, day after day of KOS complaints and whining This isn't a whine thread, it's a step towards REDUCiNG KOS and NOT removing it So if your here to moan, bitch or troll don't bother replying as I've heard it all before and know this works People quit the game or turn bandit, and people say there is nothing we can do They are wrong I said in another thread how a year ago there were 120 odd people in my clan, we held down cities, hunted bandits and rewarded the good folk Easily we held 3-4 servers at any given time, and we held the peace for the most part Hackers are what ruined us, not bandits, we fought many battles and gained a lot of good people (and some bad eggs that we dealth with) Over time we lost members, eiether die to boredom or hackers or waiting for the standalone And every day I spend my time hunting bandits and seeking out the last of the good people But it's not enough, I'm one person, and can't fight everyone's battles So everyone who is left, I'm asking you to stand up and fight back When you here those dmr rounds going off in elektro, don't turn and run, find them and punish them (and let them know ehh they died) When you see bandits killing people, especially unarmed players, don't turn your back and avoid it, help them or at least avenge them The problem is human behaviour, I'm not saying group up, I'm saying do the right thing, explain to people on side chat why and get the hell out before you get betrayed You can get your gear from anywhere, you will die and you will kill bandits If your one of those bandits who say they only KOS because others do, prove that by using your sniper to clear some zombies for someone in trouble and run the hell away before someone comes after you, if you really only play that way because you feel you can't trust people use my 30 second rule If someone is in trouble, aim to help clear the threat in under a minute and leave, 30 seconds is preferred If they are having trouble with the stronger zombies, kill all bit 2 zombies and leave them to it, it's enough of a distraction to get away and safely leave If we want to help make it a better place, stand up for your fellow man and lay down the law, whoever your and and whatever you have done, the time for redemption is now If your in, tell me what you did today to help someone or just say that your going to fight for this cause Ps: anyone replying with "you can't stop KOS" just ignore their posts and don't feed the trolls, this is to reduce and not eradicate KOS

Its a simple point of observing and reacting, its about using the information you have If a firefights going on stay out of it If 30 people are saying theres a spawn camper at kamenka, you've got your target Its about using your brain Having a show of force is there to prevent fights, which is what I usually do, shooting them is for those that don't comply But the overall point is yes, whenever has telling someone (dissuading them) ever worked on a bandit? Never Telling a bully to stop is no good, you punch them in the face, Im forcing them to consider their actions might have consequences, they are forcing most people to shoot them first, neither is better than the other, it just has to be done (This is slighty more on topic, discussing how we are going to do this)
