How to Stop Pointless Killing

[SquirrelGott 4]

[FIX]

When you die you have to purchase a new CD key. Done, no more pointless killing, I fixed your problem. You can have a menu come up to meet with others and become friends with them by selecting “Add Friend” (to a list of friends, their HUD NamePlate will be green, unknown people will be orange, zombies red, and bandits yellow), if you have friendly fire then you have 24hours to get them to the hospital or medical supplies back to them for help. That way you don’t lose your CD key from friendly fire. If someone adds you as a friend and then they kill you, you take them off your friends list and the next time they join a server their CD is void/banned… however that works with servers. Or instead they simply get banned from the server. I thought Dayz was about Zombies? It has quickly turned into another pvp fps game.

[Key Idea]

only applies to those have murdered say more than 10 times or so. Mass murderers.

[Or]

If you keep killing people your screen turns grey to the point of black and white high contrast, your character starts going crazy and becomes delusional and starts seeing things which aren't actually there, like random zombies running at them (other players don't see this) which is just a skin model animated running towards them but disappears... imitate paranoia. The wavy heat waves from the field of vision is amplified 100-500%. Or like in Dear Esther with how they made the faded ghosts, so that on the sides of the screen black figures appear but when you look at them directly they fade to transparent.

Player starts at 100% color

First kill goes to 90% color

Then second kill 50% color

Third 10% color

4th Black and white only high contrast.

5 kills shaky black and white with audio chills from the player avatar.

The humanity scale could be used to redeem color (only means) on the screen from murders, giving people steak, driving them places etc.

Dude, good intentions, bad execution. -1

[CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151]

If you had to pay for another CD key, the bandits would love that. Just having everyone not kill one n' other at all would be crazy...

I don't think that would work at all, and get ready for the flame-age!

And the prize for the most retarded suggestion I've read all day goes to.....

SQUIRRELGOTT!!!

I will VERY much enjoy wasting peoples money by sniping them as soon as they spawn on the beach. The tears will be well worth the money I'd have to spend every time I died.

[Sontana 8]

This is just plain stupid...

A bit of sarcasm, of course I know they would never do this but it points out some loopholes.

[SquirrelGott 4]

From your experience I would think you would know.

[sp86 508]

I can't tell if this is a trolling attempt or just retarded.

[BIOSEMTEX 77]

Does it really upset you that much when someone kills you?

What about when a hacker Kills you?

Why exactly do you like DayZ?

Have you tried 'The Secret World'? It's a RPGMMO with zombies in it.

ITS GOT BOOGINS TOO!

Maybe I was mistaken, I thought DAYZ was about zombies?

Looks intriguing but I have no interesting in the fantasy aspects of magic etc.

Derf!!

Just add bible in game, and for every kill, one have to pray for goods in at least one church in Chern or Elektro. If that player got killed in his soul purification quest, he's teleported to a island out of chernaus, and have to pray there for 1 hour in rl .

P.S: We can have a spell to locate these bad souls, like call it Salamas Acharius

DayZ is about freedom. Freedom from rules from structure from regimen. The fact that it has zombies in it is merely a backdrop, a PVE hazard. If it was full of dinosaurs it would probably be similar, sure velociraptors can fuck your shit up, but what you really need to watch out for is the asshole hill camping with an AS50, until he gets blinded and eaten by a dilophosaurus.

My idea was incorrectly worded maybe, I meant you would lose your CD key. Not those who die from being murdered.

Then delete the zombies and have just pvp fps, make it a survival game plain and simple, that doesn't exist yet as an online game. It seems there are two groups of people in this game, those that want to play as survivors of humanity versus zombies and those who want to simply use this game as another countless pvp fps game.

You are mistaken, its about survival... zombies are just part of is as are the bad guys.

And the whole suggestion is retarted... not for this game never going to happen, thank god.

You have not clearly understood the idea of this game.

Oh okay, so it isn't a zombie game.

Welp, this exchange answers my question.

But seriously, dev teams, Velociraptors.

I second this, if there were Velociraptors instead of zombies I wouldn't mind the random killing. My point is to not pretend to be a zombie game if the game is truly about randomly killing people... because currently that is what this game is about. When players are more of a threat than zombies, the game ceases to be about zombies.

[KnT47r 51]

Fuck. Yes. Velociraptors.

[hombrecz 832]

I belive that only standalone can tone down idiotic killing on sight.

Imagine if weapons or ammo CAN NOT be duplicated&glitched and you have to actually find it.

Then the guy who finds AS50 will have like 3x5 bullets and maybe he will think twice before spending them on random n00bs with axes.

And he would have to actively search through the map to find more ammo meaning less time spent in the bush sniping folks.

The situation now is stupidly crazy because almost everyone of these idiotic snipers has ton of duped stuff with basically infinite ammo so they keep happily squeezing the trigger all day long.

I really can't wait for standalone, only then the game will show it's true quallity and hopefully Rocket will add faction support, base construction and many more, then people would have ton of stuff to do other then bushwooking.

EDIT:I think most of people agree we need PvP in DayZ. But then there needs to be consequence for killing in a form of spending precious and hard to get ammo. .50 cal snipers should be very rare and so should be their ammo and at the moment the opposite is the truth.

Thinking about it I really can see the standalone DayZ be VERY different game experience from the mod, if they curb duping & glitching and get hacking to acceptable levels.

Does it matter if they were kittens, when their AI and stuff are so useless atm... doesnt matter what they look like.

Just wait for the standalone and harder zombies.

ps. agreen to one above.

Agreed.
