Why this games "Kill On Sight" attitude isn't a problem.

[Jourmand1r 19]

Your right, there is no way to force players to not have greed. However there it is possible to make players think about if they really should kill the player. Make players more hesitant to shoot on sight.

Now have your ever heard the term "ESCALATION OF FORCE"? Well I think it can work great in dayz, however almost everything you can do is viewed as a hostile action, even cooking meat. Which is a real god damn shame.

Yeah, its a shame that people don't play a game the way you think they should.

I am with you this is not some game where there is a someone to hold your hand and tell you what to do. So many people complain about be shot for no reason. You want to know how to not get killed by someone? you kill them first.

O.o I was just saying that is a damn shame that everything is considered a hostile action and thus makes you a threat. Never once did I say I want other players to play the same way as me. This has been discussed before that even players who wont kill you on sight, view even some non-hostile actions as hostile threats. Like being within VOIP range.

edit: also please don't attack me for being a supporter of non-KOS playstyles, as I am not attacking your support of them but merely pointing out my POV on the topic.

There is no way to force people into being friendly.

Until they force people to be friendly, no one will trust anyone because they can't.

This isn't a PVE monster hunter game. That is why Rocket doesn't go out of his way to protect the people who try to play it as one.

I agree its not a PVE monster hunter game. dayz is a zombie apoc survival anti-game(since there are no rules).

I'm not saying force people to be friendly but there should be tools in-game to help encourge players who pick that playstyle to be able to enjoy it.

edit: by tools I mean better grouping mechanics, or even mechanics to remember players you have meet before in that life.

However, lets remember that this isn't an mmo. The bandits aren't "PKing you".

This is an fps set in apocalyptica.

part of the problem, i see.

If you want to play an FPS, go play an FPS, not a zombie rpg / simulator.

So basically you think Rocket can do what no one has EVER been able to do, and control the games community?

If people want to KoS they will KoS and nothing Rocket does will stop them, short of making everything too easy and ruining the game.

Not sure if Troll, or a KOS player with an agenda.

I like how you said this is a FPS. People like you are ruining the game by thinking it is ! It is a survival game. Sometimes you have to kill other players to survive. But these dayz all people do is kill on sight without asking whether your friendly or not. I miss the times when they did ask, game is being ruined by codloving 13 year olds

So you agree that you're doing it wrong by playing this game deatchmatch-style?

In case you haven't figured out the secret of survival in your harsh, animalistic world where only the "strongest" survive:

1) Stop shooting each other for no reason.

2) Eat and drink.

3) Don't be dumb enough to get killed by zombies.

Done! It's not rocket science, isn't it.

The one and only threat in this game are CoD kiddies and bored veterans, and the whole thing is as "gamey" and unrealistic as it gets.

[Jaime (DayZ) 13]

Zombies kill on sight too, nobody questions them! >:(

[Pexisan 5]

I think KoS definitely belongs in this game. I just think it should be just more even. Now sniper rifles are everywhere and half the survivors have AS50 (with or without the duping). I think sniper rifles spawning should be reduced and let the assault rifles rule chernarus. When the enemy is less than 300m away, the firefights are superintense and the outcome can be basically anything... also, more hand grenades...

Why cant everyone just enjoy what we have here? if you think the game is now boring then go and play another game? dont ruin this one or write stupid coments on here.

This Game is great and wether it gets boring or not this will still change the face of gaming alltogether.

Im a console player and this game has me gripped from start to finish. its a game of survival not a dating website where you have to make friends. if u choose to aproach somone and wanna make friends and they kill you thats there objective.if everyone was friends on here it would be pointless cause the zeds arent excatly dangerous at the best of times.
