Remove the Murder/Bandit Kill count

[Jackftw 310]

I honestly believe this would tone down a lot of the KoS/stat padding sniper's.

You can't tell me there's not countless nerds out there comparing their kills with one another. Can anyone even give me a valid reason why it should be kept? I mean, this game is supposed to be realistic, and in real life you're not going to have any clue how many people you've killed unless you really keep track of it yourself, and with the bandit skin you can distinctly tell if it was a bandit kill or not.

So what do you guys think? Yay, or nay?

What difference does it make? This is the least of rocket's problems right now.

stable servers and consistent patches that WORK. I just installed yesterday, started playing last night/right now, have a fast computer and network connection and im constantly getting d/c'd. Its annoying.

Great game...but the connectivity issues and new players starting out without any weapons is weak. They should at least give new players a crow bar or axe...no one starts an apocalypse empty handed..come on. lol

[The_Albatros 72]

no one starts an apocalypse empty handed

Because people just walk around geared up completely without a zombie apocalypse happening. -_-

To be more realistic you should start with absolutely nothing. Maybe a phone that provides a very dim light but runs out of batteries after 24 hours.

Just FYI, it's displayed in a DEBUG menu. Which means it's used for DEBUGGING, which means it probably won't even be there once the mod is out of alpha/beta, or rather the standalone one.

People like you are what ruins this game. I'm not saying we should all be happy go lucky survivors, I'm just saying we should think more before we just go around shooting everyone. Please don't be so idiotic.

Is it just me or is this guy an insufferable ass to everyone he talks to?

[sostronk 334]

As much as I dislike your attitude Buffjesus, there is a point to what your saying. The PvE components in this game are terribly easy. Add on top of that the scripts, hacking and duping thats going on and there is no end game beyond PvP. If Rocket doesn't pump out a shit tonne of PvE content at some point this game will be 100% PvP, which is a real shame as it will be in complete retrospect to the vision I believe Rocket has. PvP should be a part of the game but it should be more situational, like a failed trade or what not. Just running around sniping people in Cherno and Elektro with hacked weapons and duped ammo is really a sad part of the game. And to put it out there, this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for hacking and duping problems, there just isn't enough ammo to do this for very long, escpecially considering most of these campers don't even loot their kills.

only the retards

i attempt to talk to them realistically, but it seems the failures are too shit at everything that they cant see through their own tears.

Lol, I've had bad and good times with Buff ! :D

[Dr. Fever 7]

It's a debug thing, so hopefully it will go away or at least be replaced somehow. Frankly the people who chase scores are missing the whole point of video games. They are just getting an ignorant little fix from their imaginary "win" because they have no accomplishments in their real life. Me on the other hand, I play games for the fantasy escapism- so I can play pretend or experience a story for a little while while I try to skip past the more boring parts of my life....oh wait that kinda sucks a little bit too....

You have no idea, do you? haha.

Plus I had a camp on US 1260 with a pick up truck, UAZ, and 2 cars. All of them had massive amounts of gear.

I'm sorry that I enjoy playing the game differently then you do... and just because I do, doesn't mean I'm ''bad''. I can guarantee that if my group ever met yours, you would ALT-F4 in seconds.

None of these screenshot's are anything to be proud of compared to other items, or for your boners sake, MURDERS/BANDIT KILLS. They are just some random ones I have on my computer. (I really don't remember taking them actually lol)

What do you mean 'and then what'?

He said get rid of the kill count not killing in general you fucking moron.

Honestly your post seems highly irrelevant and it's as if you didn't even read the OP.

Perhaps someone's just a little butthurt over the comments made within.

And yes, I realise the irrelevance of this post aswell so don't even try.

[nano27 15]

If I were in this situation in real life, I would keep track of my kills. Not because I think it is cool, but because each kill would most likely scar me in ways I can not imagine. Whether it was a fellow human that was subjected to the plague, or an attacker just looking for some food (hopefully my beans and not my flesh). I would remember every kill.

Keep tracking kills.

[sixbarns 217]

It's in the "debug monitor" and we're meant to be testing the game. It more than likely wont be in the full game. Having these stats available is pretty useful when testing changes out and being able to accurately report bugs.

[Mos1ey 6301]

Well someone's a grumpy Guss today.

I think he's a little butthurt about the idea of losing his e-peen. Which just goes to show that this is the route of the problem really...

and what do you do to pass the day on DayZ? drive around in your unknown happy fairy server killing the harmless zombies with your mk 48?

Actually, it's pretty fun to take all of your gear into a big city and try to kill as many zombies as possible. Yesterday me and a buddy had about 300 zombies constantly streaming into the Pub in elektro. We were on the top floor, and eventually the building went to its ''damaged'' state. We tried making a run down the stairs but my buddy got knocked unconscious and I had to drag his body into the back room. Was pretty intense; we finally made it out though.

Pretty much what we've found out, is that the best part of the game is the gear grind. There's nothing better than going into the city empty handed and scavenging whatever you can find.

What difference does it make? This is the least of rocket's problems right now.

its not about rockets concerns dickwad, its about what people devote their endgame towards. OP has a really good point and its literally a sentence long.

I'm not even a hardcore gamer (aka a virgin who claims hes pro) but even i care WAY too much about my kills.. as i shoot some guy and he drops, i no longer look at him i look and watch my kill count rise, periodically making sure im still aiming SOMEWHERE around his body.

the whole debug menu should be removed imo. if you want to keep track of kills they should introduce a journal/diary.. which might not be such a bad idea for those of you wanting to compare epeens.

Keep tracking kills.

I think it would be a lot more interesting if you, yourself had to track the amount of murders you have. Keeping tallies on a notepad and putting another tick in there for every kill you may or may not have wanted to get.

It's in alpha, dipshit. You're reading the prologue to a book and complaining the ending sucked.

You're a complete waste of time, cu.
