jukaga 271 Posted April 24, 2014 It just ruins the game for me. Yesterday after god knows how much running i made it to the big airfield on what was called a "friendly server". I make it half way across the runway, miles from anything or anyone and bang I am dead. grrrrr 1. There are plenty of closer military spawns than NWAF. No one is in Balota/Zeleno these days and there are several large military sites within 10 minutes of each other. (Balota tents, Balota airbase, Zeleno base, forest base) 2. The NWAF is pretty much a KOS zone. Don't play careless there like running openly across the runway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zeroy 240 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Why spend 3 hours to finally get some half decent kit when some a$$hole is gonna take it all just because they are better kitted out. It is a survival game in a zombie apocalypse, more to the point there is no end game nor objectives. You must be more careful - once kitted out you might catch the KoS virus yourself, its all part of the game. Now for some advice, stay off the big NE towns and off the coast right after spawning. Get a drink in the may streams and pond slightly off the coast and head inland where you can organize yourself a nice looting path via smaller, non populated villages/towns. Also, until you have a primary weapon and some ammo plus some decent clothes/headgear DO NOT go near Military. There are plenty of Police station in small towns that are often left unlooted where you can gear up. Ideally try and play with someone else.

[Outcasts]Massacre 121 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. There's nothing to say that DayZ is ONLY a PVP game. The core elements would suggest it is the other way around.But yes, PVP is a huge aspect of the game, that shouldn't be removed. But there should be more benefits for being a good guy. Since at the moment, the only benefits are for the murderers and badits. I'm not saying DayZ is _only_ a PVP game, I'm saying the _core_ of DayZ gameplay is PVP, slight differance. You gear up to fight people, you build a base to defend against people, to store loot so it can't be stolen by people, you get vehicles to drive around the map with some protection from people. Zombies don't pose a threat in any of these statements. Even as a fresh spawn your at a greater risk of being shot by a player then dieing to a zombie. Zombies are a after thought, the side dish, the flavoring, nothing more. Non of us look at the airport and factor in zombies when you think about risks, you think about hostile players. People are the real threat in DayZ, not the zombies, not the enviroment, not hunger or thirst, people... Edited April 24, 2014 by Massacre 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stryker007 39 Posted April 24, 2014 Seen my thread here? http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/187923-whats-the-problem-with-zombies/ I think its the way it is because that's what we are like! and DayZ is an incredibly immersive game! It beats COD down pat because it forces a "cost" to survival, such as all the effort you have to put in, thus its realistic and the apocalypse will create giant douchebags of all of us :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MileyVirus 2 Posted April 24, 2014 I would say there are a few reasons. 1) For teh lolz 2) "Better safe than sorry" mentality 3) Have been killed so many times that they start killing on sight 4) Too shy to be an ass IRL so is an ass online 5) Is an ass IRL and online 6) Wants your loot Reasons number 2 and 6 I find valid as a reason to KOS though I don't do it myself. I like to be nice and help people but will fire if fired upon and I just find it too boring and easy to kill everyone I see without at least trying to interact in a friendly way. I do find the large amount of KOS to be rather annoying though. It should be in the game because it is part of the paranoia and fear in DayZ but the level at which it happens is ridiculous. 2 and maybe 6. So far my face to face interactions have been positive. I have been sniped a few times as a fresh spawn. Generally that doesn't bother me much as my new spawn location was an improvement though. Not everyone is an ass though...
