Senseless player killing/non-pvp servers?

Recommended Posts

I've really been enjoying this mod for the past 3 weeks or so. In that time I've met a ton of cool people that are willing to team up and head out into the world to play cooperatively. However, here lately, is seems that this mod is turning more into a CoD style shooter and less of a zombie apocalypse survival. I'm all for people shooting you and grabbing your stuff to survive, unfortunately in the past week, I'm seeing people killing for no apparent reason. Myself and friends I play with are even getting camped on spawning areas and being shot almost right after spawning, more times than I can count. Again, I totally get that pvp is part of the game..I accept that, it just seems that killing for no reason is getting a tad out of hand. Therefore, I am curious if it would be possible to make non-pvp servers? If not, than the only other solution I can think of to combat this growing issue, would be to have MORE zedZ around to swarm the camping CoD kiddies that are plaguing people like myself that want to have more of a zombie apocalypse survival experience and not CoD type experience.

This is far from a QQ thread about being player killed, I accept that as part of the game. I am merely looking for ways to combat the rampant senseless killing going on in most the servers I play on. I know there are others out there that share this viewpoint...I see them saying the same thing in side chat constantly.

Again rocket, ty for the good times. I cannot wait to see how far this mod goes!

I think the removal of the bandit skin will alleviate this naturally, without the need for an overtly game-y system.

No longer will bandits be shot on sight for being bandits and no longer will they shoot on sight for fear of being shot on sight by both bandits and survivors alike.

You can't account for the genuine psychos out there but most people only kill for survival.

Sometimes your survival depends on another's demise...
