You are really missing out on the human interaction if you just rush people with your fists instead of cooperating and putting your hands up. Me and my buddies like to rob people, much more fun than killing people. But we also give freshies canteens, food, and stuff like that. One of the guys in our group we actually met when we held him up, we decided he was nice so we gave him some stuff and he tagged along and now he is one of my steam friends. I've run into a few people like the OP, never want to cooperate either running away or trying to rush us with a melee weapon or their fists. I'm just gonna say that when ever meet someone who doesn't cooperate, I just put a bullet in them and to me they deserve it. These are also probably the same people who whine on the forums about KOS all the time.

I think those are people who have logged out after they go unconscious and the game just keeps them there gushing blood until server reset.

I have sprayed magazines, they still work like normal. However I noticed that if you have 0 rounds in the magazine, after you spray paint it it will be full. You can actually make a lot of ammo this way so hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Don't log off in high traffic areas, problem solved. Never would of happened if you went into the forest or some random house before you logged.

"OP" "Nerf" "Balance".... Why the hell are you people using these words in this game?! If you want artificial balance go play CoD or BF. The best balance in this type of game is realism.

I accidentally joined a "no kos" server once. Had more people KOSing than on any other server I've ever been too lol. If people want less kos go play on 1st Person only servers, much nicer people on those usually :thumbsup:

DayZ needs to be more hardcore and unforgiving not less. Wait until there are private hives and then you can do whatever you want on your own server. There is no way that servers like you described would be allowed on the official hives.

Aren't private hives supposed to solve all of this? Each server on a private hive has your character restricted to that server if I'm not mistaken.

Yesterday my buddy shot a guy twice with mosin and he didn't go down, I had to finish him with my M4. What's weird is that I have one shotted a few guys with my mosin in electro a while ago... maybe I just hit them in vital places and my friend didn't...

That's too bad, I really like stumbling upon bodies of other players and wondering how they died. I understand why it might have to be lowered for performance reasons, but I hope bodies will eventually be able to stay longer.

I think it would be cool that if you die from zombies a zombie NPC is spawned in place of your body that carries around your inventory after you die. But no playable zombies please, players are too smart to simulate zombies and it would just be stupid.

I am all for 150 players as long as they double or triple the map size first :P . Even with 40 players you run into people alot, 150 people on the current map would just be a huge clusterf*ck.

Add in a death timer or make losing characters mean something other than losing gear and then more people will rather be held up. And to everyone who says they'd rather go down fighting...I'll put a bullet in you the moment you equip a weapon, either that or my buddy with a mosin will take you out from afar. So you most likely won't even get a chance to do anything and I'll just move on. But if you cooperate with me, you'll get to live and keep most of your items.

I am an EvE Online player myself and using a system similar to EvE's crimewatch for PvP would be good imo. I have spent hours in that game hunting other players and running away from them and being hunted myself. If someone in that game could just log off in the middle of space during a battle with no consequence the whole game would be ruined. That game also had a logoff timer for safely logging off in space of 30 seconds. That is if you didn't have any combat flags. So yeah having to wait for 15 minutes in DayZ after combat and 30-60 seconds before logging off would be nice and fix the issue of combat loggers.

In the game's current state, why give up your stuff or try to fight back when you can just log out and get away without a scratch? Not that I combat log (I actually try to hold up people whenever I can) I'm just saying people can get out of any situation by logging unless you put a bullet in their skull before they even realize you're there.

It depends on the situation, I am extremely careful around fully kitted guys and sometimes KOS if I feel they pose a threat, but I have run into a few of them that were friendly (I am actually one of those guys myself :D). I always try to interact with someone who doesn't have a weapon or has melee only unless I see them actively killing someone, then I take no chances and put them down.

Me and my friend tend to ambush people heading north along the coast between towns so sneaking up on people can be difficult if they are paying attention to their surroundings. I usually hide near the road and my friend overwatches with a mosin with a long range scope. I like robbing people, it feels more satisfying than just putting a bullet in them :D and if they are noobs I will usually help them out with some items and give them advice if they are nice enough and cooperate with me. But combat logging takes away the interaction between players, you can't make new friends in this game if people just log off when they see you. :| It also can completely ruin the DayZ experience and take away from the game's atmosphere if people vanish into thin air in front of your eyes. I just hope the next patch will come along soon and fix this.

Combat logging actually encourages KOS, yesterday I tried to rob a guy and he just logs off. Makes me want to shoot people on sight knowing they might log when I announce myself. Most of the time people will play along but just knowing that if they wanted too they could get away with no consequences bothers me.

I would be happy if they would just fix the desync and combat logging/ server hopping issues. Some new weapons would be nice though. :D

I kinda like the idea of having a little something to show we are special. :P Just make a simple exclusive T-Shirt selectable from the character creator for people who participated in the Alpha and that's it.

I think the timer should be around 60 seconds and your character does a going to sleep animation accompanied with a yawning sound or something of the like. The reasoning behind this is so people can't log off while being robbed, during firefights, or while you are searching for them because the sound and the animation would be a dead giveaway of them logging off. The timer can be interrupted and reset by being attacked or shot at. Instant log off should still be in the game if the player doesn't want to wait however they should leave a dummy behind for a minute or two that can be killed.

I hope this gets fixed soon. Yesterday I was sneaking up on a random guy looting a building and found that he all of a sudden froze in place on my screen and my punches did nothing to him and then I got the death screen when I resynced. While I didn't have any containers in my inventory the guy I attacked could of had some. But it was extremely frustrating and makes me not want to play. Most of the time I get desync I am lucky enough to only be near my friend but if the same happens in any combat situation I am afraid I'm just gonna die without being able to do anything about it.

I think body disposal has to become something of importance. Make lots of dead bodies lying around (player and zombie bodies) have a negative effect like getting sick from them. Only then could I see there being a point to burning them.

I actually would really like a death timer. Would stop people from killing themselves, people looting their own dead bodies, and it would make people be more cautious.

I think we should be able to drag dead bodies as well, it would make looting bodies that are out in the open safer if you could just drag them off to the side in cover.
