Silverback (DayZ)

You came to these forums to blow your own trumpet more like.

Hahahahahahahahaha. So many threads on this and they all get flamed. USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION! Omg Care bears....

Callahan... Your tamagotchi died because you didn't give him any water or food. Sorry man...

That must have been one helluva Q!! I haven't ran into a hacker yet thank god and I hope I drop the fucker if I do! Off topic abit but I'm starting to think people who disconnect are as bad, if not worse than hackers. I logged in last night and went blundering into the first barn I saw (near electro) I was wearing my ghillie but only had a Winchester. Anyway I start to lewt everything in sight when I notice chat. 'Sniper in barn r u friendly?' I look up to the top level an there's a care bear shitting himself, I dive behind a crate lean out line his head up....and he vanishes. It's pathetic. I personnaly couldn't give a fuck about hackers as there is always gonna be some sad bastard doing it. But DCing just when you see someone is so sad as those encounters are what it's all about. /RAGEOVER

Perestain the reason people play using third party software is for fun. They also have friends. I'm sure a shit load of people would not play this mod if that were disabled, I for one wouldn't. I mean for fuck sake it's a 225km map! Some times I've gone for ages without seeing another person. If you don't like that steer clear of online games and play single player story based games like Barbie Pony Ride Adventure into the Lost Castle of Throbbing Forum Posters. I hear it's a real blast. You probably raised afew more garbage points in you huge walls of text but, and I'm probably not alone, I've given up even browsing them.

Someone who actually GETS the game! You're welcome! Wish a the other care bear L4D players could read this.

Thats a myth IMO. If you're somwhat low on blood, and your friends are not nearby, they can just knock you unconscious or break your bone pretty easily and unexpected. I believe in total I died more from strange glitches involving breaking a leg and/or zombies then from players, but I admit I avoid contact whenever possible and usually outgun people, most had horrible aim even when they decided to shoot first. True But, if you bring reallife friends or people you've met BEFORE bandit skins were removed this cooperation is artificial, and not a dynamic part of the game. I guarantee you that right now you will finde noone ingame you will convince to guard your stuff until you come back. There is no actual dynamic co-op play at the moment, because any non deathmatch or team-deathmatch playstyle gets so heavily punished within the current game rules. You simply cannot cooperate with people whose only form of communication is shooting until either you or them are dead as soon as they see you. Its a shame, really, because with cooperation, the option for betrayal is gone, too. All the excitement of trying to figure out other players and their behaviour, all the temptation to maybe backstab them.. These were the true decisions of the game that brought excitement IMO. Now there is no decision making at all in player interactions, you shoot at everything that moves and isn't part of your group. Your group of course being organized outside of the game and thus not in a dynamic interaction with the game world whatsoever. There will never be a reason for you to fear your teamspeak friends suddenly backstabbing you, and never be a reason to hope that anyone else will be suddenly cooperating with you. You can basically divide the world in goodies and baddies, and act according to this simplified world-view. Its too bad, since DayZ was the first multiplayer game I ever played which managed to truly overcome this, and with brilliance. Bandits skins were somewhat unrealistic, sure. But not nearly as unrealistic as player interactions have become after they were removed. While they were not a clear indicator for anything, they somehow made people approach player interactions with more diversity. Even if some bandits turned out friendly and some survivors reckless killers you at least had a starting point when trying to figure someone out. I guess many people simply prefer the easy friend or foe thing, because reality is too complicated and scary. They shouldn't, however claim that its more realistic like that. Its just more onedimensional. 3rd party coop makes this worse actually, since it gives people this security, and removes the necessity to interact with players within the game. To be perfectly honest: The game should disconnect once it detects a TS, Vent, Mumble or Skype application or similar 3rd party software running. This might sound harsh, but the reward for gameplay would be unbelievably high imo. Just direct channel and maybe radios and no voice-cheating clan BS. You are fucking alone and without human contact, and this would be one hell of a survival experience with probably the most interesting multiplayer interaction out there right now. Of course people would find a way to cheat this, but if only a few would do it it because it takes some effort, it would still be a great experience to play this. China called...they want their wall back. On a serioud note though. I seriously think your looking too deep into this. I mean horror implications when you loot your own body? Are you serious? This is a mid for a MIL SIM game. I really think your expecting too much. It's a mod. Your whole post seems to focus on the need for total immersion in the game there was even the world 'Roleplaying' thrown in there. If that's what your after there's a lot of other titles out there that would better suit. Must say if some one tried role playing with me...I'd feel it was my duty to put a 9mm between his eyes!

I think you're missing the point. He's not saying it as in "Woop I killed a bandit' date=' go survivors!" He is saying it as in he is a bandit and that he killed other ones. God I hate explaining things which "should" be simple over the internet. [/quote'] In his original post it came across like some nub survivor giving it the big one, in the end hes just a nub bandit.

Game. Set. Match. Super.

Someone's butt is obviously hurting...this has to be the worst idea I have ever seen on here...and this forum is overflowing with turds. In a mill sim game MOD where you can scavenge for hours on end to get some good gear then loose it all in one bullet/zed glitch/alpha bug your suggestion is completely stupid. EDIT: RangerPL...too true...I'm never going to get these precious wasted minutes/brain cells back...boohoo!

NiiiiiiiiiiiB fine I'll let you massage your own ego. I AM BESTEST BANDIT KILLER LOOK AT MEEEEE!

Ok so which one of you guys butt fucked this guy without the courtesy of giving a reach around?

Omg posts like these just suck. No one cares! So you got the drop on a couple of 'bandits' so have probably 99% of players. FYI...you must be a bandit yourself if you shoot everyone on sight. Welcome to the club. Now FOAD.

I gotta say these guys are awesome as my previous post said I was bleeding out in the forest not far from SW Airfield and pzrapnbeast came all the way down from a northern town just to help me out. By the time he got there I was so messed up though that I couldnt give accurate directions due to my vision blurring so eventually I died of bloodloss. BUT for someone to come all that way (It took quite a while to get down to me!)for a complete stranger on a game like this where people just open up on anything that moves is quite amazing really. Great job guys! Also I'd like to volunteer my help, you have me on steam now so just shout! Keep up the good work!

Haha I know what you mean and yes I do kill people but don't we all? When i logged in for the first time it was like Omaha beach in Saving Private Ryan. I hunt people I don't 'murder' newbies on the beaches or lure them by asking for help.

I need medical assistance, I'm bleeding out after getting ambushed by a couple of bandits, I got them both though I took a couple of shots. I'm just north of the SE Airfield with no map just a compass :(

I have to agree with the bloke above, I can be a real c**t but, being a bandit for me is hunting people down. Luring a new player in when you know he's gonna have no gear for a cheap lol is a it pathetic. When you reach puberty head north.

Shiza...what ever I'm in ur tent stealing it GuNz. I took a shit in there too. Enjoy.

To me this just high lights the fact that choppers are a HUGE waste of time. You hear them from miles away, passengers can get shot up and they take like a shit load of effort to get working. Yes it would be nice to fly everywhere but if there's any bandits like me in the area I'll be hunting your LZ straight away. At least with a car/ATV you can sort of hide it while you raid towns. It's a shame you couldn't use the fuel from a jerry can to torch it! So grats on your chopper BUT who cares?

I like you. You have balls.

If your target is by a feature, say has just entered a raidable building I found you can use your map to work out the rough distance by finding said building on there. Encounters in wild can be more tricky however. I'm still waiting for a range finder to drop!

Cheers for the lewt! Bang!

Care much? QQ.

Dude you got well and truly dicked! Get over yourself! Saying that these QQ/rage/wtf posts are hilarious! Bandits - Good job!
