id still like to see the game become more of a simulator where people really consider what they are doing when they kill someone. but i do it all the time too. but i dont play it for the pvp. if i wanted to play it for the pvp id play vanilla arma2 probably.

i still think its more the gun pointing, if guns could be lowered it wouldnt be as bad. if you point a gun at someone in real life thats a signal of fuck you get ready to die.

unfortunately with how uncordinated lowering or raising your rifle is in this game it wont be that easy. if you could quickly lower/raise rifle (not having to stand up, and be still for maybe 3 seconds) trust could be had with lowered guns, if someone raised their gun the other would too and shoot e.t.c.

well ideally id have it forced serverside if its possible, but only forced if it goes the full 500m or 700m

bump!

Hey, I got tired of having to shoot on sight (because of "tier 1 gear") and having to avoid cherno/elektro (to avoid cod players with the enfield on the towers) so i bought a new account. With this new account i decided id stay coastal and just pick up group with anyone in the TS servers. So far ive managed to get 7 players from having nothign to having bigger backpacks/meds and military weapons. What ive been doing is i will hang around elektro/balota, usually have 1 or 2 people with me, we will raid the huts/airfield, then head to the apartments/hospital to get meds. Once ive met people and they have joined using direct chat. when we have seen players, if at the airfield and they have nothing we just tell them to clear off, if they have a gun we would shoot on sight (or learn the hard way AGAIN). but when we get to the hospital area I saw someone just run into the apartment closest too us, so i ran down to it (they were waiting in treeline) and asked the guy if he was friendly/wanted meds on direct chat, he said friendly but didnt want to join us so he agreed to stay in the apartments i warned him e.t.c., anyway we looted the other 3, filled ourselves with meds from the hospital then cleared out/logged out. Was funny cause the guy in the apartment kept on asking if we had left yet haha. Anyway would you carebears say that the KOS at the airfield is wrong or justified for survivor behaviour? Im having more fun helping people and not caring if i die (havent died doing this YET) than i do solo on my tier 1 character, but missions with group members is more fun on my tier1 guy lol. next time i recon we might try cherno shops or zelogorsk.

multiple arma2 AO keys allow you to have more characters. switch them on command.

robbery still exists, skip to 12:30 And the only reason they didnt kill is that they didnt want to have a bandit skin ovbiously. So the consequences did that, i am sure that rocket and the team will do something to promote that kind of behaviour. but yes something needs to be done.

can it be set higher? i got the impression not.. if it can be set higher do it. I also dont like the server imposed draw distance :(

he should have died when he was crouching in the field looking for people. the first guy to get shot who had the jump on old mate, if he had aimed properly he would have killed/knocked out/taken a good chunk out of him.

hold capslock and say lights on

i havent had the balls to save character with it in my inventory (would be a pisser if it replaced your primary on save). but i like it, the ability to melee without having to drop weapon then remove hatchet from toolbar e.t.c. is great. and its definately not overpowered so im all for it. hatchet should stay a primary though. but like a tactical knife could be cool

should we start a name and shame thread filled with people that admit they have serverhopped or dced in combat? lol

I would think rocket should focus on other areas of the game before focusng on this. one AK bullet to the heart will down anyone...

i think it was a glitch... or he percieved it as a glitch. the ammo duping is a bit meh, but i do it myself because why not do it if everyone else does.

oh god... 3 tractors in form rolling down bean coast playing they see me rollin hahahaha!

your question is good your whole post $#@*# sucks.. to Riis: Yeah see thats the thing , the bandits we need to try and stop are the people who play dayz without consequences, e.g. just try get an enfield, sit somewhere high in a city and kill as many innocents as possible. The people that shit themselves and kill anyone they see because they shit themselves shouldnt be stopped. But unfortunately i cant see this happening unless someone has a ripper of an idea. While you yourself said you have killed people (confirmed? just curious) and witnessed it, but if you were on a clock tower killing people that didnt seem to have any threat or civilians (torchlight carriers) i think you would be a little bit scarred, or a psychopath. Then again its a sandbox so psychopaths would exist. And if you want to be a psychopath so be it! id like to see hour or two hour death timers implemented, so if you die you dont get to respawn for 1-2 hours. Would force people to really think about what they are doing.. but would also allow griefers to troll entire servers.

i am +1ing this... or at least make it an option to turn off clientside if possible. that way people that want to play dayz for immersion can have it.

meh i can bother...

yeah from about 150-200m out i killed someone in the top of the controll tower with an enfield haha (for some reason glass wasnt rendering so i could see through.)

ask the medic team

enfield doesnt go through deerhut wood lol

1911 hands down for zombie as PVP is done with primaries usually :P

i think we are both a bit like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7GY1KD64BM&feature=player_embedded

when new players ask how to do stuff (what key for flashlight what key for this what key for that) i allways say capslock x2 or hold capslock or i say hold capslock and say Flashlight. quite fun lol
