UltimateGentleman 355 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) So does anyone know of a server where people actually don't kill each other? All I want to do right now is hunt some stuff, fish and make a campfire but either the game crashes or people shoot me before I find enough of the ridiculous amount of stuff you need to be prepared. Then I'll go back to the standard experience...AKA everyone kills each other for no reason because we're clearly playing Call of Duty. Is it so much to ask that you don't just shoot everyone you see? If they have gun out and might shoot you then fair enough but if they're just casually wandering around and you don't need food or anything why even bother shooting them? Say hi or wave it's very simple and if like 50% of the players did it imagine how much better the experience would be for everyone... OR does anyone who hasn't hunted, went fishing or made a campfire yet want to team up? Because at least if there's more than one of us douchebags won't just kill us and we'll get to see the warm glow of fire.I don't have a mic or anything though but I'll happily join people that use them, I type pretty quick. Since it takes so long to find stones or a pick, a backpack to carry stuff, an axe to get wood or sticks, a knife, a fishing hook, matches, rope and ashwood sticks, a shovel and worms by yourself.Clearly these new features were intended for groups...it's just so much easier to find cans of food though... EDIT I'm in the UK but I can play until like 3-4AM over here just fine so should be game for most time zones.

skypig 139 Posted June 19, 2014 "friendly" servers attract pvpers looking for easy kills.. "pvp/bandit" servers are fairly tame because they assume every one else is out to get them and they don't want to be kos'd 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freethink 984 Posted June 19, 2014 There are no actual friendly servers no. Even if a server says "Friendly Server - No KOS!" murderers will join and kill. Try joining a clan. There's loads on here if you look in the right section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quantum2k6 348 Posted June 19, 2014 Clearly these new features were intended for groups...it's just so much easier to find cans of food though... this is not the endgame.. they will balance this if the game turns into a beta... as thousends of times postet before... just run NW after spawning and u have no problems with kosers... greetz ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's loads on here if you look in the right section. I mean more ones with active admins who kick when people kill each other not ones with a friendly fire setting or anything like that. It would be cool if there were servers where you have to speak English/French/whatever to join since half the time you're saying friendly you might be talking to some Asian dude who has no idea what you're saying and shoots you... I don't see how it could be made any easier unless they make stones, sticks, shovels, axes, pickaxes, rope and matches spawn everywhere and close to each other, it will probably always be like this so people are encouraged to actually work together to find supplies faster.

Many server admins have been known to restart/kick when they themselves have been killed. Join a group or head inland on emptyish servers would be your best bet for now.

Vodski 7 Posted June 19, 2014 "No pvp" servers are just people looking for easy kills, just like the old Starcraft lobbies titled "noobs only", and they would just be players baiting the easy wins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltimateGentleman 355 Posted June 19, 2014 Seriously? Lol. I guess I'm wrong to wonder if there's some utopia server where people actually try to play the game and survive instead of turning it in to a war game. It's against the rules to kick players who kill players. Many server admins have been known to restart/kick when they themselves have been killed. Join a group or head inland on emptyish servers would be your best bet for now. Yeah I've been trying empty servers but they just seem to fill up right away to at least 12 people and they all seem to be in airfields or where you need to look for new things. I don't really want to join a clan just wanting to experience the hunting and such then not play for a while.When a certain other game appears I might just delete DayZ from my Steam honestly, if the in game community if you can call it that doesn't improve at all.It's a great game but the people stop it being a great experience, mostly.If you just want to murder people then yay but if you don't this game gets so tiresome.

Etherious 907 Posted June 19, 2014 Against rules to have a "friendly" server. You cannot kick people for anything unless their being dicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) if you dont reply on the mic you are dead in most cases... I guess I'm wrong to wonder if there's some utopia server where people actually try to play the game and survive instead of turning it in to a war game. Welp...survival is WAR. *but discussing that the mechanics dont work together well are uncomplete ect ect... right now is pointless...really...it is...* *sigh* When a certain other game appears I might just delete DayZ from my Steam honestly, if the in game community if you can call it that doesn't improve at all. Delete it now...spare yourself the dissapointment. Edited June 19, 2014 by {Core}BlackLabel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, you are. What are you trying to survive if not other players? Falling from ladders? Horrible zed AI? Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frothyboot18 46 Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah, you are. What are you trying to survive if not other players? Falling from ladders? Horrible zed AI?

Sharkeran 6 Posted June 19, 2014 There is no friendly server, but there IS some friendly peoples around, don't lose hope :)I would go with you to get these things, but my computer is... unavalable right now. So, perhap in the following days if you still haven't been able to try, we could team up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qww 287 Posted June 19, 2014 op. i dont understand why you expect or want guaranteed safety in dayz, go in an empty server if you really need to play safe-dayz. why are you so against using a little skill and judgement to find somewhere safer to do your crafting experiments, or to meet people who can work with you to achieve a basic common goal.

UltimateGentleman 355 Posted June 19, 2014 op. i dont understand why you expect or want guaranteed safety in dayz, go in an empty server if you really need to play safe-dayz. why are you so against using a little skill and judgement to find somewhere safer to do your crafting experiments, or to meet people who can work with you to achieve a basic common goal. So I have to be skillful in finding random drops? How does that make sense, I needed to check an airfield because that's the most likely place to find a combat knife and I even found an ashwood stick and rope there, which I hadn't found laying around anywhere after going round a good third of the map.There's no skill or judgement involved when someone silently walks up behind you and shoots you when you're picking something up, I wasn't doing crafting experiments I was trying to get the things needed because there's no safes or anything to use so you need to haul everything around... So yeah just one safe server would be nice to go in and make all the new things then switch back to regular now knowing what to do and having experienced fishing or whatever.It's not like you can just go ask people if they want to trade for some rope you need, you'll get shot 99 times out of 100.

infiniteripper 8 Posted June 26, 2014 It's against the rules to have PVE servers right now; and if there is one, a**holes like Grimey Rick report it because it's not the typical Call of Duty shooter where they kill everything that moves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
