I refuse to die! I've had this life so long, I generally play things very safe. I'll be sad when I die :[ And probably adopt a different playstyle for variety.

I was using it as a metaphor to describe my actions in game. Albeit an imperfect one. I'm sorry if you thought I was speaking literally lol.

I agree with this and that's why I never loot a body. I don't want to lose my gear that I found on my own to someone with a lee enfield watching their friends corpse. And somewhat about the kill counts. But my favorite thing to do in this game is resupply, survive and kill other players (which at least actually puts you at risk rather than hiding up north all day) but to do all that WITH my friends. I love meeting new people to play this game with and I love working as a team. I don't feel I'm playing in an inappropriate way, I love playing with buddies, doing all that I need to survive while also engaging in risky situations.

It's true, I'm a murderer :[ But if we meet here first and are in a voip, I'll gladly stand by your side and kill people for you :] I'm a murderer, not an asshole, I never cross my friends and anyone in my voip is my friend :D How often I hear... DUDE PLAYER nvm he's.. BANG BANG BANG ...unarmed...

In real life I'm educated in philosophy with a strong background in the philosophy of morality and ethics. And at this early point post-apocalypse, I'd have to argue that we are acting appropriately. We must remember that Day Z infinitely represents like.. the day after. It's more of a Valhalla than a simulation in that we don't get to fix everything and rebuild or we'd be playing a different game lol We're here to bug out at the zombie apocalypse. The priority of survival has deeply relativized our sense of morality and with the structures of society completely destroyed and with organizing forces yet to gather and form... we are living as animals in a pre-societal state. Hobbes, Rousseau and Locke all referred to it as the state of nature, which inspired us to organize for protection from eachother and the wilds. I expect that later on players will form groups that watch cities and shoot anyone openly carrying a weapon on sight, in order to guard it for the citizens. But complex organization will come in the standalone or at the end of testing. This is a bit too early.

When I first got NVGs they felt like cheats too. The l85 is good but it's no guarantee that you'll see your targets first unless they are in front of your position. It's a thermal scope not a motion sensor.

I say this game is ready for stand-alone on the minecraft model. I would have paid my 15-30 bucks just for this, I don't really care for arma.

Sounds like you did the right thing to me :] Denying him his kill was good enough.. Most people aren't worth killing for their loot, but +1 murder always feels nice ;]

i feel bad when I shoot people when they're spawning in... but not as bad as I'd feel if they finished spawning in and shot me :]

Players have so little imagination these days that they can't form a clan without the game having software to support it. OMG IF TEHRES NO GILD CHAT THERES NO GILD You don't get good social groups by programming in the functionality, you get good social groups by throwing people into a sandbox and seeing how they choose to organize. We could easily form groups and set up safe zones and territories within servers.. But it's alpha and we're all just running around being silly. second, people have grown WITHIN a society, but we haven't established a brand new one for a damn long time historically. People wouldn't just be like... dude 1: OH THE WORLDS ENDED WE NEED FOOD AND WATER! dude 2: NO MY FRIEND FIRST WE MUST RE-ESTABLISH SOCIETY No one even says re-establish society even after society has been destroyed. Obv.

We should leave all the guns but take out the bullets so everything is fair.

I KNOW Aside from kill players, you can also try to avoid getting killed by players. Weird that this survival game is all about survival. WHERE ARE THE EPIC QUESTS AND HOW DO I FRIEND SOMEONE IN GAME. I WANT RAID DUNGEONS

How many times do I have to explain to you that there IS NO FUCKING END GAME. Period. The only thing to do for a well equipped player is to burn through his equipment and food and then go find more and hope to survive longer. That's the fucking game. We're saying go QQ more because the OP is complaining about one of two things. ONE: HACKING DUPING ETC (THINGS THAT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT CHANGING THE ARMA 2 ENGINE) TWO: BANDITS END GAME CONTENT (THINGS THAT ARE WORKING AS INTENDED) The OP is not making any point at all worth responding to so all he's getting is garbage back, which is what he deserves for his inane bitch-fest. Done.

All that matters is that duping won't be in the final version of the game with the Arma 3 engine. Rocket himself said fixing duping is impossible here... about as impossible as anyone paying attention to your request for weapons to be removed. As the above quote reminds you, those weapons kill way less people than the more common ones.. and there are so many bugs to fix and so much content to add, I doubt rocket's going to go and remove guns from the game. But good luck whining, I hope you don't get any more butthurt and don't decide to quit. Sounds to me like you're imagining everyone who kills you has an L85. I'd be happy to kill you with mine to confirm your suspicions :]

What would you like us to do about it?

Yeah because only hackers would flame a poorly researched fruitless plea that's not even on the right website, let alone right forum.

Okay, all ICP fans have poor taste in music. You can say that without making generalizations, since all ICP fans like ICP and ICP is trash. :P

I don't have a conscience IRL, I don't see why I should be haunted by it in a simulation.

I hope I see you around, I'd like to find out if you are trustworthy :]

And I can't believe people are backing the king of the dumbasses. But seriously. We've been told time and time again, Rocket and Day Z can do nothing to fix hacking. Get the following into your head. The Arma 2 engine is flawed and has multiple security holes. Rocket can't fix Arma 2, he's the developer only of the Day Z mod. Therefore, at the very least, you're bitching in the wrong god damn forum. No amount of refusing to stop using your caps lock will make anyone here or the creators of Day Z able to fix this problem. Go complain on the arma forums.

Can you people complaining about hackers please, for the effin love of the sun god ra, just forum search the damn topic rather than making your own bitching thread?

The dude you're talking to is actually right, and you're the dumbass for not checking his facts before insulting him. Rocket has all the control here and servers are under strict rules regarding banning people. They don't operate independently and misplaced bans can get their server taken from them. This is an alpha, all forms of hacks and exploits are actually helping to test the game. Alpha isn't just a stage of development, it's a process that includes a lot of troubleshooting and a lot of purposefully breaking things or at least allowing them to break.

I love how that is scholar's post AFTER editing. lol.

Yeah, I think your kills are justified based on the fact that all kills are justified but I wouldn't necessarily think they were server hoppers. However I wouldn't be one to judge.. my past six kills.. Two people, both unarmed, running through balota airfield... One guy armed with an AKS Kobra hiding in the balota tower.. Two more unarmed approaching my position in a nearby area And finally, someone who had alt-f4'd on me previously who logged back in to a headshot. So I'm not one to judge where one gets their kills ;] I like to loot that airfield and I don't trust anyone else to be there with me.

I shoot at zombies sometimes and given it's usually nearby, I'll go for the chest to get the fastest most sure kill. So that's three-ish bullets. I also often spend time hunting players and given my distrust of the lag/hit registry.. I tend to fire 5-10 shots at center mass of a player before I see them fall. Again this is with the L85a2, not the most powerful rifle. I know I could be doing better, but I'll never feel settled without having much more ammo than I'll need on me.
