deadbolt (DayZ)

It was not designed as a game it was more of an experiment, I prefer the term "anti-game" - in other words the mechanics are not designed to be balanced, or offer a way out for different situations. These are things game designers normally take care with. I discussed this with the our team members at great length of many arguments, the idea behind safe zones. The eventual consensus was that it went against the ethos of the project. This whole concept, and the reason it "works", is that there IS no safe zone (unless you make it). Your actions have real and brutal consequences. There are no game designed safety nets. It is the kind of system/environment that will sometimes make you want to punch the computer screen. But with that kind of risk, comes great emotional reward when you carry something off. The sniper you describe - there are people like this in the world, and in the breakdown of order I can bet that there would be people who would sit on a roof and shoot people "just for the lulz". The system makes no judgement on player actions, and this is one of the only real rules that was adopted for the development. While consequences may occur for a particular action (e.g. humanity loss), no judgement is implied or placed on that behavior. Beyond hacks, and misuse of exploits, regulating player behavior is not a scope of this project. If players, themselves, wish to group together and attempt to regulate the behavior. Well, that's entirely up to you. This kind of activity is not for everyone. It really is more of a social experiment than a game. There is no intention to change that, if you dislike the PVP, then I would recommend playing Dynamic Zombie Sandbox or Celery's excellent Chernaus Apocalypse - there is no point in these being recreated through this mod. Why make something that has already been done?

not to mention all the people that have been betrayed and no longer trust anyone

yes... i will kill everyone i meet

what server is the war going to be on

most likely because u guys started calling the new crowd trolls and assfucks etc.. the amount of hostility was inappropriate

I have come across some very rude' date=' childish guys in quite a few servers. So much so that I don't really even speak in servers anymore...and I shoot to kill every time I meet someone new...because...and yes this is me GENERALIZING again...I assume that they're going to be a troll because 99.9 percent of the time they are. The only guys I play this mod with are [Legion'] guys because they don't give me shit and we work as a team. Sorry for having a fucking opinion. so its just a problem in the chat then? umm, did you even read the OP? claiming every single new person in the game is an asshole is not a good way to voice your concern

im fairly certain you spawn sometime around the getting player id message, i have killed a couple people that were loading in

what exactly are they doing in this game that angers you? most new people i see just ask for help or to group up

if the server has teamspeak or vent you should try getting on there, also if you play on 1 server a lot you can get to know the regulars better

main problem is the loading time, since your character is actually in the game while you have a black screen your thirst and hunger will still be flashing and you can potentially die

while short, the factual value of your post is null do i really need to prove how this is wrong? "You say people would look out for themselves and their families, as if their families were extensions of themselves. But this “family” you speak of is not a universally innate concept: it is an invention of the European industrial revolution"

also seen this several times

no clue

Well people complain' date=' people get angry, devs don't want their consumers angry, hence the complete and random deathmatching isn't a good thing.

it does increase over time IF you are moving

my apologies, i thought u meant you couldnt use arma free to play day z even with oa the "just" really makes a difference

how are the dev's trying to cut back on it?

..... you CAN use the arma demo and play day Z however you need to buy OA so basically u save $10
