My answers seem to be the same throughout this thread: There's a short list of things to do in standalone in its current form, gearing up is pretty much the default. I think you guys are trying to read way too much in to player behaviour.

Anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot, right? Gunpoint? You sound like one of those people who thinks guns are always bad. My gun is there for self-defence, if you threaten me and I press space to point it up then you can tell me you're being held at gunpoint. Edit: I know there are people who do the whole "GET DOWN GET DOWN HAVE SOME BEANS" thing but to pretend this is a majority is fantasy. I don't understand those people but whatever floats their boat, this is a sandbox game.

I usually choose the M4 because it suits my play style, just don't expect much at long range. :lol:

Poor you, players interact with you in a way you don't want. Welcome to DayZ.

Also most people who openly call themselves a hacker are script kiddies, like the one in the DDG video using a lagswitch.

The DevilDogGamer video? Seen it, also seen my friends doing that. They certainly are not hackers, it's lag/desync (which can be forced to happen, but won't teleport you from the coast to a place of your choosing).

I already told you: Boredom. At least that's why I sometimes do it. It's a sandbox game with much less to do than the mod, we make our own fun. So yes, it's motivated by reward Mr. Armchair Psychologist. That reward being entertainment.

I still doubt it, meaning I don't believe that happened.* This ain't the mod, if he were a cheater he would have teleported you in to the sea or killed you or something. I feel it's more likely you felt the need to embellish your story about how hard core you are because you shot un-geared players who were defending themselves with axes. *Unless someone (sensible) can confirm they have seen people teleporting around, of course.

I voted not at all because all weapons have their strengths and their drawbacks, it's up to the dev team to choose weapons with a range of these. I just wish the M4 weren't woefully inaccurate.

Says the guy who thinks people go to help bambis out of some "strange need to feel appreciated". ;)

I doubt it, he probably just got that spawn and ran to you. I always seem to spawn in Kamy and factory now.

This is a sandbox game, as such people must make their own fun. One of the things people find fun is offering help to fresh spawns. As it stands there is less to do in standalone than there is in the mod, what do you expect those people to do with their (emphasis on their) game time instead?

Does no fucker read any more? "WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING."

I don't care about people who KoS but I'd love to hear more about how you feel about server hopping OP, that was a better rant. ;) Yeah I'm still not letting you live that down. :P

OP my advice would be to never announce your presence when you're out in the open. If you see someone it's best to seek cover before you say anything, then open a dialogue with them and watch what they do. If they start spinning around frantically and pointing their gun while saying "yeah man I'm friendly" then you know what you have to do.

I miss the mod server option Crosshair:Off, I would love to see a comeback.

I don't care about beans, I was going to make a new forum account entirely but it's against the forum rules. :P ;) I don't want to get testy at you, but I don't know why you're persisting with this. Two points, which I have already made clear: I would like to discuss this issue, not just report it. I freely admit I don't even have a clue how to use that bug tracker.Rocket himself seemingly not being aware of something that (judging from my poll) is obvious to the vast majority of players.I hope this satisfies your questioning around why I have bothered to make this thread. Look at my history, it's not like I make threads for fun, and frankly I am sure nobody would argue that there are enough threads about KoS and cheaters so I'm not sure why you find mine so annoying.

I'm shaking in my boots. :lol:

It sounds to me like he wasn't willing to communicate properly, in my book that is grounds to consider someone a threat.

To discuss the issue... This is General Discussion. :huh: :blush:

You're screwed now, you'll be waiting absolutely ages with the system currently in trial on experimental and due on stable in mid-week. You might as well quit now and go play an ego shooter. ^_^ :lol:

This is the Q&A stream in which he goes in to lots of currenlty un-lootable buildings. The highlights on Sacriel's channel also have some random conversation in which Rocket is surprised when Sacriel mentions some buildings not spawning loot. Then there was this post in a patch thread recently.

It depends, sometimes I like go to on full servers just to add an extra layer of tension.

My advice is to aim high and not to bother with anything but fists or an axe. Fists don't do much damage but are surprisingly effective because they will knock a zombie out in one hit, I never pick up baseball bats or pipe wrenches any more because they are simply a liability when fighting zombies due to their sheer inconsistency.

On stable branch I have experienced weather twice, but only twice. The first was simply rain, the second was extremely thick cloud (think storm clouds) that made me need to use my torch, turning off clouds actually made it a sunny day. :lol: When I logged in to experimental for the first time yesterday it was raining. I wonder if I'll see it again.
