Crying at scripters, but using their gear. Being a weakling and don't even trying to fight. Qqing on dayZ forum about your death. Seriously, what happened to dayZ forum? I thought I opened "DayZ general discussion" tab, not "DayZ general crying".

Well, I tried to be hero. And you know what? People convinced me not to. It's not like I enjoy killing others. When I made my first attempt to DayZ, I decided "I will become a hero!". First spawn, and I was dead after 5 mins - shot by sniper. Still, I wanted to be hero. But later, again and again, game convinced me not to. 90% of moments I trusted someone it turned out that he wasn't friendly at all. This game doesn't have one good way for playing. It's your choice. You can choose path of being Hero - then you have to play carefully, as most of player will shoot you on sight, you can try to help them and protect them, but again - no one will ever guarantee you that the man you just helped won't reward you with bullet in your head. Being hero isn't really rewarding - you have to share, so you lose your eq, and all you get is satisfaction for helping. On the other hand, being bandit is a bit easier. You only have to care about you(and friends). You can kill anyone you want. And you can have their loot. It's easier to kill someone and take his loot than go all the way across the map and pick up some gear. Bandit is easier. And I became a bandit. Simply because it's easier, it pays off, it's easy way for me, and I start to enjoy it. Today I got my bandit skin, when I first said a guy I found somewhere that I'm friendly, he helped me kill zombies, and than I killed him and his friend. Cruel. I even felt sorry for them. But that's how DayZ works, and without this, the game would suck. We're also needed. :) PS. Selfish =/= immature. You choose your own path, and neither of them makes you stupid/immature/childish.

Hello everyone, I'm slowly learning C++. Yet I don't have much of knowledge about creating games, but I'd like to create some in the future. I decided to learn C++ because it looks like this language fits my goal. I have currently learned basics of C++ : pointers, references, classess, arrays, dynamically allocated variables, etc. It allows me to write simple programs, but I'd like to move on. As my first goal, I'd like to create rather simple yet working text-based RPG game(as it looks as a simple task, and can help me getting into wirting games). That's why I am trying to learn and use PDCurses library. However, it's C-library. Of course it means that I can use it with C++ as well, but it has few disadventages and still I'm not sure if I'm going towards right direction. Now I can make some programs that are practical for certain jobs(like 'dice roller' for getting random number, etc. However, I don't know how to make more sophisticated programs. That's why I'm asking someone with experience: What would you recommend for me to learn? Any libraries/resources I could use? Any tasks that you can suggest to me, so I can practice certain skills? It's just a bit of a dead end for me, as I don't really know what to do next, but I know there's still much to learn. Thanks in advance.
