EVERYTIME? REALLY? And you get to that conclusion by watching ONE video? You're actually right, but just by chance :-) I (personally) don't ever want to loose my loot. Fear? Competitiveness? Plain normal gameplay? Label it however you want, it's still a valid gameplay style in an OPEN ENDED game. So your endgame would be a 40 player server with all players just getting along, building barricades, shooting zombies, accumulating loot and singing kumbaya? What if it showed a credits roll after all that? that would be awesome... That being said, I totally understand you or any other players/groups playing that way and actually appreciate it very much that you are willing to play that role on this FICTIONAL apocalypse. I'll still try to shoot you for your beans though ;-) FACT is there are no fresh spawns on the video. All 3 players were reasonably well geared and armed. Also, the second guy definitely didn't know he was hiding upstairs, that's why he had the upper-hand and used it to his advantage. Still don't see any problems with that. I completely agree. You should't EVER trust him :-) EDIT: We want to hear you playing the guitar!

Yes, I would most likely shoot at you and may the best/most lucky/most skillful/etc man survive. I also don't see anything wrong with that as it's the very nature of the game. I would obviously also be pissed off if i was the one perishing in that encounter, but that is Dayz, so I appreciate that you at least understand the possible outcomes of playing the game. This is not Wonderland people, it's Chernarus and death sits at every corner and behind every tree :-)

Ha... I knew it was just a matter of time before someone called me a noob for surviving in a survival game. I actually know those self appointed "heroes" all too well. Sitting on their hill or running around coastal towns acting like judge and jury and disguising their killings by saying they're killing "bandits" and then patting themselves on the back for their good deed of the day. If you feel good inside by being a "hero of the survivalist", go ahead and do that. It's an open ended game, which I believe is why we all love the game, so you're free to play it however you like. I won't call you a noob for that, you're just another player. When I play though, only me and my team/friends are the "heroes", so we don't need hand holding by your Robin Hoodesque team of merry men. Everybody else is a threat and will be kos 95% of the time if they're armed. Including you and your so called very well organized population of heroes of the survivalists if we ever cross paths. So in the end, the truth is: we survived. How is that a bad/noob thing to do in a survival game?

Wow, the amount of pacifists and "friendlies" here is mind blowing. I wonder how many of you actually go around befriending everybody. I also wonder how many times you got shot in the face after yelling "friendly". Do most people on this thread just go around talking first and only returning fire after getting shot first? Even when outnumbered and in a town like Krasnostav? I've been playing dayz and arma mods for a bit now, and one thing I've learned is that whoever sees the other one first has the upper-hand and you should use that advantage to make sure that you and your actual team come out on top. You kill so you and your actual friends can survive. So everybody with a gun is a very serious threat when one single shot can mean a trip to the beach for you. Thanks to my good pal ztranger, I was able to gear up and survive a bit longer. And to me (and i'm pretty sure i'm not alone here), that's what dayz is all about. He had no backup and had at least 3 armed players on the town he was in. A town that is now a bit like Stary Sobor used to be on the mod, so I don't really see any other way that could have gone down. Sure he could have tried talking to them (giving away his presence and position), or maybe just hide in the bushes as someone mentioned, but what fun is there doing that? What would he (actually, we) gain by that besides a very high probability of getting killed? If you want to be friendly that's fine, just get a melee weapon to kill some zombies and don't pick up any guns and see how that goes. Also.. you might be in the wrong game.
