RP Servers (Role play)
I know a lot of people are gonna hate on this idea but..
I think this game needs to have more RP servers to make things interesting and feel more survival like.
DayZ mod has them so why shouldnt Standalone...

RP in DayZ isn't hard to get into, honestly. It's not as though you have to pretend you're an orc or a wizard, you already play as yourself. You talk to other people with your voice in-game, make hand gestures in-game, etc.

The development is moving away from its military sim roots, literally from swords to plowshares, and people who play for the deathmatch will get bored eventually and thin out. RP is going to explode soon with the release of group activities (Vehicles, farming). We're slowly collecting the tools to transform DayZ into something the mod's mods were very close to achieving (But limited by the engine).

Is a good idea but you know how can you assure people is going to RP, if they KOS you they can say. Oh I was RP my character is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ psycho and wants to kill everybody or you sacred me and I used my gun. The problem is not RP servers or not the real problem is the people who plays DayZ.

RP does not mean you can't hunt men to taste their fear and revel in the brevity of your own life.
It just means that you don't break immersion when interacting with other people.

Not much RP when you are KOS.

well we had discussion on this topic with my friends and we came to argument that probably... these KOS players which are total majority of dayz players... are simply too scared to come into communication or any sort of interaction with others so they rather KOS then bother with other players and keep wandering the wasteland alone...

RP is possible but there would have been strict rules to enter it.. like proving that this guy has microphone and brain

You're right, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the folks that play for pure deathmatch will get bored pretty quick.

The BIG problem in this game is that you don't have to fear the zombies cus they are just a second thing in my opinion. Maybe more agressive (and hordes) of zombies would make people think twice before they kill other people, and then forcing them to work together as a team to survive the zombies. As the game is right now, why should we even concider working together when the zombies are no thread! The exsitement lies in killing other players!
Its not really satisfying to kill a zombie, but most people in here would say that it is satisfying killing another player. Its all about the way the game is heading... its a alfa stage game where the dev team would like our opinions, and ideas to developing the game. Personally i think this is heading towards a CoD deathmatch game and not a survivalist game. When i started playing Dayz i was friendly (like in real life :-) ) , but after getting nailed over and over again by KOS players i became one myself. The only way to survive the longest.
Role playing where everything is planned ahead is not my kop of tea. The exsitement will drop...
