Opinion on KOS and KOSers in non-PvP based survival games

[jeremywyx]

So to get things straigth by KOS i mean "kill on sigth" aka teh practice of playes killing any otehr player for sport/fun while makeing the game far less enjoyable for others. And by KOSer i mean a player who practices KOSing on a regulal basis in a game where its not the main selling point.

So my opinion on KOSers is taht they totaly suck, they allway tryhard and grind for the moast KOS optimal character and then kill teh entire serevr makeing gameplay unbearable and often target others just for fun. and are often moast of the time theyre short-tempered and really toxic. i hate them.


wath is youre opinion?

edit: so there are three tipes of post here:

1. The "Not sure wath sub-genra we are talking aboat, so i´lll post both views" post

- I shoud probbaly specify the sub-genra in the title because complaining aboat the main point of a game being the main point of a game is kinda dumb and were not dumb here (hopefully).

2. The Casual post

- Thease tipes of people come from games which main selling point isnt PvP and which want to have a more casual relaxing and fun expierience without any thungs trying to asert theire imaginary dominace over them. Moast of them respect otehrs and generaly use PvP as a spice rather then the main dish and are more often solid human beings.

3. The KOSer who is defending his/hers actions

- This is not a court room for youre fragile ego to throw a temper tantrum or to be a general a**hole or to defend youre behavior. If you enjoy PvP based games, go for it but trying to asert youre imaginary dominace over someone by calling them a "Childish roleplayer/ Barbie Girl" just isnt gieving tehe rigth vibe and probbaly wont get you many friends or at least get you likeminded friends who probably wont be good friends and wont help you if times get tougth leveing you probbaly regreting youre life choices but that is youre choice and youre problem. We all want to have fun here so respect otehrs and have a nice day.

If you want slop roleplay gameplay join slop roleplay servers.

I don't let the quality of my entertainment be reliant upon the behavior of others.

These are more appropriately called "PK'ers" (Player Killers) or "TK'ers," (<same> Team Killers).

Most appropriately, they're called "jerks" in games that make the assumption players are either not supposed to kill each other's characters or not supposed to try to kill the characters of same-team members.

If the game is "PVP" (Player versus player) than any intended target that is considered valid by the game is... valid, including any other players that fit in that category.

jeah its a bit problematic, but at the same time, it gives the feeling of risky paranoia and adrenaline kicks tho. so its a very sharp two sided coin kinda .. . that explodes in your pocket when u carry it for too long >.<*

roleplayers and KOS-players in teh same game in a nutshell lmao -> https://youtu.be/gb1w-TceHpo?t=92

buy a pvp game, win pvp prizes

[Siluva]

Depend what's the game about.

If it's a pvp game with survival mechanics where you need to kill everyone to win then it's fair.

If it's a survival game where you can survive on your own but with pvp aspect then I don't really see the point of KOS and KOSers are just lifeless tryhards to me.

The term is "griefer."

If you're kos'ing people who are spawning with nothing then that's just ruining fun for others

Although I found servers for some survival games that didn't spawn kos. It was still terrifying to gather stuff, and that was fun

But when it was all kos then it was kind of annoying. I'd like to play with a clan on a server but then trying to do distraction stuff lone wolf style for them to raid

That's how I usually play multiplayer survival games. I run distract for groups

statistically that is the game: long con or hunt. it's why I dont play them.

I appreciate KOSers more than the players who establish NAP (Non-Aggression Pact) in every server of every game in the genre. NAPpers want to be KOSers, too ethical for MTX, but know they wouldn't stand a chance against regular players. They're even more dishonest than the KOSers, because NAP alliances can attack any non-NAP alliance at any time with zero restrictions on power differences.

It's a war game, not "Barbie's Magical Garden Brunch Party". If Warhammer's taught me anything, it's that the conquest of the universe doesn't happen through pacifism.

that sounds like an excuse the shadowbane pk guilds kept saying.

basically they were mad that a rival power was replacing them, and that it didn't have the 'we're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥' facemask on it so they didn't feel comfortable joining up.

plus they couldn't raid and attack eachother and ignore the idea of political will as effectively. uniting their bands of idiots, stimmers, and t-heads against an outside force (NAPs) allowed them to manufacture an internal political will among sociopaths...

kind of like fascists irl, who want games to resemble their worldview.

KOS is boring and toxic.
