Forum names = no kos

[blunce 991]

I absolutely love the for older gamers videos. I'd love to join your clan for a round of craziness and trivia.

P.s c.n in c.n tower is Canadian national lol

 

PM me

[blunce 991]

Good to know, iv been on servers and seen FOG members, always got scared and left server cause there was like 3 or more clan members lol.... all those videos of clans banditing / raping people... the horror.  But if i see you guys ill give the hands up and spam my name and hopefully someone recognises it and dont rape me.

 

It was likely wise of you to do so lol. is your name Cptn_Miller in game as well? I'll keep an eye out for you  ;)

[Finchtastic 50]

I don't use my forum name in game, however I have been saved by my in game name before.  If any of you have watched the "Purple beard lata" video of Unturned, you'll get the reference.  Anyway, I had my name as purple beard and in Berezino of all places, I hear this:  "Purple beard?  I was going to kill you, but my friend has informed me that your name is sacred."  If it works, it works, I guess lol

All you have to do is shift-tab in game to see Steam accounts, and usually they are close if not the same as forum names. 

 

Ive played with several forum members but have yet to actually randomly meet them in game.. Ive met many by metagaming and sending them PM's but no random encounters yet.

 

I did meet some really nice guy last night in Experimental, from Brazil. Our language barrier was a bit much, but I was able to at least tell him to head to the Escuela! and he knew exactly what I meant.. took me 5 minutes to find out if he needed the saline I had in my hands, finally he sees the saline and says, "oh hey man, I need that.. good good." (He spoke much better english than I did portuguese). Im fairly certain after sending him a friend request post server restart, and him logging off, that he is a forum member here.. His clan at least posts from time to time, I recognize the tag and a few names. In any event, its fun to not KOS from time even if you are a cold blooded bandit like me ;)

FOG!!

If you happen to encounter any FOG clan members, let us know who you are here on the forums. Our guys have itchy trigger fingers lol.

 

Although I can't speak for every member, but if I recognize you personally, I'll make sure we don't give you a hard time.  ;)

Hahahaha..we do have a decent amount of murderers in our crew...and growing. ;)

Lol. Thats awesome, glad we cause some sort sort of anxiety. ;)

Be sure to swing by our FOG server, and say hi. We can be civilized when approached correctly. :)

Watch their vids if you're smart or cool you'll most likely live.

Haha, those trivia moments are great! Swing by our server some time.

P.S. This is one reason we don't fret with being friendly.

Yep, same name forum/in game... yes i dont like putting myself in those hold up situations lol.

 

That video (audio) is classic stab in the back that happens so often in this game...  But seriously, if i see you guys in game i wont kos as per normal, there is strenght in numbers and seeing a bunch of you in same game is very intimidating... shoot 1 and then have to worry about the rest is not a good tactic lol.

Cool man, if I ever see you in the FOG server I'll be sure to let everyone know you're friendly.

 

You can typically find us in the North Eastern region. More specifically Novo, Svetlo, Cherneya Polana, Turovo.

 

P.S. Love your avatar dude -- I'm a huge Corey Taylor fan, let alone a Slipknot fan. Their 2 newest singles that they put out this year are awesome.

[Cptn_Miller 83]

Slipknot rocks lol....

That is exactly how we roll :)

 

You've inspired me start up with some new vids.. I took a break from making them ..so BEANS  :thumbsup:  :beans:

Lol. Yes, if one of us gets killed, the rest kick into "Beast" mode to avenger our fallen brother! :)

The other night I entered Elektro alone as a semi-freshie and stumbled across a group of 6, I engaged with the only weapon I had at the time (Axe) but could only murder one before being killed. My boys (about 5 FOGers) where in Cherno. They immediately b-lined to my location and took out their whole crew. It was glorious to say the least. That's how we roll. :)

Add some of us on Steam, this way if you are in a server with us, you can send a message letting us know if you want to meet up. It'll minimize the chances of being KoS on both ends. :)

Meh. I think it is good that you can see who is playing in your server. And BTW how many times your game experience has changed because of the playerlist? I agree that server messages and BattlEye messages must go away for the most part.

 

Just because you don't notice your game experience being changed doesn't mean it isn't happening constantly. I've been part of a large group before, I know exactly how much they use this feature to shape their actions.

 

It might seem like a good thing that people like the OP become friendly if they read a name they recognize, but I look at it the other way around, if the list lacks any names they recognize, they become hostile solely based on information the computer gave them.(It's like knowing the enemy team only has 1 player left alive because of the scoreboard, it's a safe bet, the computer is never wrong or misleading.) I don't believe it's good for people playing DayZ to be influenced by factors outside the virtual world, if we can't put our mouse over a player and see his name in that virtual world, why can we look at a list of player names?

 

It reminds me of the 3d marker being in the mod, while they removed the map marker. Sure, you can't pull up your map and see exactly where you are, but if you put a marker, you can see how far it is, then narrow down your location using that method. With the names, you can't aim on someone and see if they're your friend, but you can pull up a list of names and confirm your friend isn't online, then blast away in the comfort that the computer told you it's nobody special.

You were shot in the head because you where in Cherno. Thats good enough reason :P

[Vex_Vehix 436]

Dam...Sucks to get caught with no firearm/ammo. Kinda have to deal with what's coming.

But it makes DayZ that much more immersive. Never know how you are going to die next. :)

[rybo 171]

My in game name is the same as my forum name here "RyBo".

 

I'd do the same if I remembered them.

[Wolfe(^..^) 9]

I play as Wolfe as well.  I play stable branch on the server that calls itself "regular" server, and "day GZG" most often.  I've played veteran a bit too, but stopped since last time I got on it I found myself as a fresh spawn.  I don't think the two servers I play have persistence.  But I don't really have any faith in persistence yet, so it suits me just fine.

 

Died yesterday to some guy named "Administrator" who got the jump on me when we were the only 2 people on the server.  I seem to die more often when there's only 1 or 2 other people on than when there are 20-30 people on. I get this crazy idea in my head that I don't have to be paranoid and avoid places like electro or SWAF when there's only 1 or 2 people on, and it always gets me killed.

 

Does anyone else besides me have the problem that you tend to be geared up more often than not, so that it's impossible to make friends because you're always KOS?  I have several hundred hours of gameplay under my belt, and there's literally only been one time where I was geared up and someone shouted "friendly".  Well, I proceeded to give the person all kinds of stuff to help them gear up, and even showed them my helicopter route.  I haven't ran into him since, but it was nice actually having someone to team up with that one time.

[Macdeth 176]

i use other peoples forum names and hurl abuse and expletives at confused passers by

[Bigbadchuck 97]

I will always use my forum name in game. I lurk around svetlo to novo and Dolina to Gorka. Electro is a fun place to hunt too. Hope to see you guys in my PU sometime soon

You guys only hide out in hardcore servers?  Why is that?

Primarily to avoid the 3PP "look around/over cover" camera exploit, & also for tactical reasons.

Yep, i also  always wear 1 of the 3 payday masks or a gas mask, just cause i played payday a lot.  No one ever says friendly when im geared or masked - they just f'n shoot at me / kill me.... so now i usually kos everyone i see...  unless its a name i know from forums and i have semi confidence this person is normal / friendly (this scenario has never happened, iv seen a familiar name or 2 but was never able to find them in game )

Those payday masks are bandit indicators. lol

It would make a lot of sense that any sort of identification (by forum name in this case) would reduce overall kos. Anonymity is the biggest single contributor to a kos mentality because there are no repeat games. There's no possibility of having a reputation (a real one, not a reputation system) or even knowing you're meeting the same guy twice so there's very little incentive not to shoot them in the face and they're unlikely to know it was you who shot them in the face. If people even had unique looks you'd see a reduction in kos behavior. One idea that the Garry of Rust was throwing around, which makes a lot of sense is for you to apply your own names to people you see. Even if it's just "ugly pimple face", you'd recognize "ugly pimple face" the next time you saw him. In this way you can incentivize more normal human behavior without having anything silly and gamey like an actual reputation system.

Good idea, what about some kind of name indicator that shows up above the characters head and can only be seen from voice chat range or shorter... that way there would be no chance of finding/seeing names for longer range engagements / snipers... dunno, hard to put a name to a character and not mess up the overall feel of the game...
