Why KoS? :(

Why KoS? :(

 

 

Because you're on an airfield.

4:3 FoV on a 16:9 screen gives me eye cancer, but atleast you're not switching between that and fish eyes, still it's unnecessary, you could easily have made those shots without the extra zoom from the silly FoV.

 

Also, Zeder... There's no point complaining about KoS on an airfield. When you go to NEAF, NWAF or Balota, you should be expecting a firefight, people do not take chances trying to be your friend in high value death traps like those.

Exactly...

 

I HAVE been nice to people on airfields before, but it's usually not wise.. A lot of people who visit airfields do so with several friends and most of them are looking for gear, and/or are already geared.. It's a high-tension area where being friendly will often get you shot.

Indeed, I have been a fan of DayZ since back in August 2012 when it first came out as a mod. It is a shame that DayZ has gone down this route of 'shoot first, questions later'

I long for the good old days where people were more concerned about their humanity and surviving the zombie apocalypse together. Sure, there was the odd few bandits here and there but the majority of people at least attempted to communicate, to be fairly neutral towards one another.

That idea is so alien now. I think the main problem spawns from the new player base introduced to the standalone that play the game like Call of Duty or just a plain shooter game, when in reality - that was not the original concept for the game. ( yeah, gunfights between rival factions and groups and individuals did happen but now it is getting stupid. )

 

The only time I tend to KoS is - like Etherimp pointed out - in high value spawn locations due to people's aggressive behavior at these places. Otherwise, I try to be as friendly as possible - unless shot at.
