Does this irritate anybody else?

[Para]

I've noticed recently that quite a few people (and this is especially with newer players to dayzrp) tend to point out when you've made a mistake. Like half of the time you'll be really immersed and all of a sudden you'll see:

"//Dude you just FailRPed."

OR

"//You died, you have to change your name."

and these kind of statements just literally kill all immersion especially when it follows up with

"//Making a report" (or the equivalent)

This just irritates me because half of the time just saying you've 'FailRPed' is not helpful at all. If you want to report just do it afterwards or talk to the person on ts. You get the idea .

Any responses to this?

Rulebreaks dont Authorize rulebreaks. If it gets too out of hand, Start reporting them for OOC. It is not needed and people need to understand all it brings is OOC hate. Why mention it during play? To get a reaction. To alter views, decisions, choices. If its that bad, Keep quiet and report.

If the OOC is that bad, Report them for it. Works both ways in my eyes.

It is the most annoying thing ever and I really wish it wasnt a thing

//Im making an ooc hat report right now

Dont know what your talking about

[Guest Roach]

I have not lived through much of this type of in-game behaviour, but I can say YEP, it would annoy the hell out of me.

I would try to find the person on the forums and tell him/her what they did wrong.

Depending on what kind of OOC crap is said though, I would report!

Don't need this kind of crap here. New guys should especially know the rules, they are NEW and just READ the damn rules lmao... no excuse!

I'm not naming anyone here but I had a situation with a member of this community. It was a hostile situation when I was in the BTR and when we asked to perma scar him he put in ooc chat //do whatever you want to me (or something along those lines) We rp'ed for a bit longer before we attempted anything, then we were going to break his arm and he put in ooc chat //you didn't ask for permission you're breaking a rule. So that kind of annoyed me a lot as we had just asked him about scaring him 5-10 minutes ago whereas he agreed upon. Regardless, I believe breaking someone's arm is not a perma scar in the first place as it's easy to fix and heals quite quick. 

But yeah, I know where you're coming from.

Edit: I also remember a few months ago - we met a guy at Vybor and rp'ed and all of a sudden he puts in ooc //Has anyone of you seen game of thrones?

Then kept making game of thrones referrences such as ''Winter is coming'' etc. in //ooc chat.

This had nout to do with a rule break but it did annoy me and the others I was with.

[Foxi]

Personally I haven't seen anyone do this in awhile, maybe its because I never go to Green Mountain anymore. :troll:

But seriously I used to hate it when people did this as well. If someone has a problem with something you did in game then the best way to go about it is to contact them on TeamSpeak when the RP is over.

[Hellish]

Ya, I do really hate it when someone does this. Most of the time it's "//you cant kill me I'm complying". I've also had someone tell me a whole story about their day using OOC.

[MrBowTie]

Yea I really hate it when that happens and that has happened to me before, though when ever it does happen I try and blow it off. But if they keep saying things occ I type:

//Role play over Rule play. Stop OCC.

That solves the problem most of the time.

[Defiance]

What irritates me more is when I, or someone else, uses OOC for a legitimate reason and they're immediately told to "stop the unnecessary OOC."

It's ridiculous. If I'm glitching while I'm a hostage, I'm going to let my captors know that if it appears I'm not complying then it's out of my control. Unnecessary OOC is one thing, but treating legitimate OOC as immersion-breaking is pretty shitty to me and extremely rude. If I'm taking someone hostage and they feel compelled to go OOC, then I give them the benefit of the doubt. Regardless, I'm ALWAYS polite and I'm not going to make someone feel shitty because they let me know that they want to leave in 10 minutes or whatever.

// I'm lagging badly, 1 sec

// STOP THE UNNECESSARY OOC

This irritates the hell out of me. It's like somehow it's impossible to be nice to each other IG.

//STOP OOC

[MatthewFC]

I have experienced plenty of opportunities when the person I'm talking with tell me a background that doesn't fit within the Lore. Most of the time, the timelines are extremely off, as if the Apocalypse happened weeks instead of months ago, and/or it was some kind of surprise to find zombies (instead of it being a global problem).

When this happens, I usually go OOC once with a simple "//are you on DayZRP TS?" and explain what went wrong to them over TS. It would be a hassle, and unnecessary OOC, doing it over text. I have yet to see people react badly at this: they are usually very thankful.

About unnecessary OOC coming from other people...

[video=youtube]

In that opportunity, we found the guy on TS and chatted it over with him, because it was obviously a newbie's mistake. If we couldn't have found him it would have ended on a report. It happens, but whether it "irritates" you has nothing to do with it being a rulebreak or not. That's subjective.

[PublicVoodoo]

OOC should never be used unless completely necessary.

stating OOC comments about someones RP is considered BadRP, any comments that are OOC are BadRP as it breaks any immersive roleplay being created.

If you notice this please report and any further video to show the actual event is useful to us.

[Manic]

I have come across this a few times and you are correct it breaks immersion. If anyone feels there is a rule being broken simply record (if you can) and make a report. Telling the person OOCly "//You broke this rule I'm doing a report" will do nothing for the situation and you are breaking a rule yourself while trying to tell the person they broke a rule.

 OOC should only be used in case of an emergency such as asking permission to leave or if there is something going on with your game that is out of your control. 

 Best thing is to try and find them on TS after the RP and inform them of what they had done or write up a report.

I had an exchange a good while back where a supposed newcomer started going OOC way too much for me. I responded to him OOC as well, asking if he had read the server rules, adviced him to re-read them etc. Think I actually made a report to get a hold of him outside of the game so we could discuss it. Would me going OOC to advice him to read the rules again be a rulebreak? If so why wasn't this caught in my report video which as I recall clearly shows me going OOC to advice his OOC behaviour?

I should add this was more than six months ago.

[Guest]

excessive OOC is a bannable offense if I remember correctly, it breaks immersion especially for text RPers. I hate to see shit like

Kenway Lee: Names fortune, nice to meet you.

John Smith: //that is legit the dumbest name I have ever heard,

//you are bad, you should feel bad

//LOL

Kenway Lee: //stop excessive OOC

John Smith: //LOL salt

I hate it, breaks immersion and fucks up the experience.

As a rule of thumb, anything that takes more than 2 lines of OOC text to say is excessive and possibly a rulebreak. Even 1 single line may be out of place and unnecessary, so your best bet if you want to communicate OOC to another person is to take it to another channel. Either wait until the situation ends and contact him through forum or TS, or should you absolutely believe you need to in order to avoid bigger consequences (even bigger rulebreaks), try to find the other party over TS or at most use a single line in the most polite way possible asking the other person to give you a way to contact him so you can immediately address the problem.

NEVER address the problem directly over text OOC, because, as others said already, pointing rulebreaks over text OOC is also a rulebreak.

[Glenn]

Makes me feel like i want to kill them!

Been here long enough to know what I can do and what not....

Always fun to take something to the edge with sexual jokes or racist jokes and see them collapse in the RP like uhh... hehe :troll:

damn whitenames

"//You died, you have to change your name."

 I'm kind of confused by this part, I was assuming you meant people you randomly run into, and not people you are travelling with or in TS with. But if that's the case, it seems sort of unlikely that they would be saying this to you? If you died why would you even be back where you died, let alone talking to the same people? I mean, going back after the time limit and seeing the same people is pretty awkward. Or even running into them again, outside of the area you died. If it's under those circumstances and they try to force your character to remember the events leading up to their death they would be in the wrong. Of course if you're just running back to the place you died, breaching NLR, that's on you.

 Either way people aren't forced to perma-death their characters just because they died, I've seen a handful of new members to the community who were confused about that, perhaps that could be part of the reason for such a thing occurring?

[Ryssen]

Never truly run across anyone doing anything like that. Worst case I've gotten is someone going //lol at something I said IC (or when I am singing), but dont pay much mind to that.

Once got a //"your RP is pretty bad" when me and the Vigil had taken a hostage though. I'm all for criticism but it felt very unnecessary at that moment and kind of ruined the whole thing for me...

[Surviving Man]

Never forget...

In all honesty, I ignore almost every OOC message. I'd love it if people learned how to properly use OOC chat, rather than having full blown conversations.
