Some neat "going insane" ideas

So I always see people complaining about KoSing people. I for one enjoy KoSing. Just hear me out on these ideas before you get your pitchforks out.

*Insanity meter: The more people you kill, the more insane you go. The more insane you are, the more liable you are to hear things that aren't there. Zombie sounds around the corner, the sounds of people walking, gun shots. You could even see imaginary zombies, or imaginary items. There is no cure.

To me this solution is elegant, doesn't stop the KoSers KoSing, and has a real impact on game play with out "bandits should have less hp!" type stuff.

What do you guys think?

If something like a karma, insane, goddamn whatever system has any mind to be put into effect on a server ruleset, I wish a developer could at least say "We're looking into the possibility" or something along those lines to stop so many threads like this.

What Jolly meant is that there's so many already, anyone can report it as spam.

Not specifically attacking the thread or anything, it's just that so many similar, if not the same to a pin point, ideas pop up over and over (and over) again.

Very interesting idea. IMHO definite possibility for a server ruleset.

So someone tries to KoS me from somewhere, yet I somehow survive and make my way to get revenge and kill him. I get the ridiculous insanity mark instead, because it only effects those that kill, despite being in self-defense.

Yeah, not gonna work. This is sloppy, not elegant.

Kinda like what Survive The Nights is doing?? Huh?? AWESOME IDEA but i dont know if they have such manpower and time to do such things, if it was single player and like the plot has you hear voices its easier, but that hard, but AWESOME as I said! I really hope they implement it, it wont stop KoS (i personally like KoS and do it if the guy is a threat to me or killed another guy but im also friendly to ppl who are nice too) but it will not be like DayZ SA at least....

Yeah It won't stop KoSing, nor should it. KoSing is a part of the game and people need to realize it. I am just looking to make things more interesting for people who kill loads of people.

Its been suggested many times before and I still say no to the idea. Neg/Pos effects for killing people shouldn't be in game.

I vote we wait until alpha is released, and then just play the game how we want and not rely on some bullshit backdoor tactic to dictate my playstyle.

So you want to punish someone for playing a major part of the game?

Its not ''punishment'' but he tries to think of something that will not exterminate KOS but make KOSERS think a little bit, before just plain shooting a freshspawn. Dont tell it wouldnt be fun to have these visions, cmon i know u think it will be a bit fun :)

KOS don't need to be a major part of the game. KOS shouldn't be a major part of the game. PVP should.

Not really a punishment. It is the most real world application we can put in a game, that I can think of it. Typically people who kill people tend to be on the crazy side, why not enhance it. As a KoSer I think this would be neat and add an extra layer of paranoia. And if it comes to it, just make it a server setting.

See Imp, I could REALLY get on the party train about this topic.

You saw how well me advocating for Karma is going. Want me to start advocating for sanity in your KOS No Rules server?

How about you concentrate on the KOS No Rules server and stop trolling the Karma, PVE, RP folks?
