kids kids, adding the odd horse I think would be a cool addition, think it through, you can become mantracker, but whatever, I'm just saying

EXACTLY, it makes NO SENSE to take up the bow at the moment, its really just eye candy in the game at this point, rather than a serious alternative weapon

YES...I might use the crossbow if you found a quiver of bolts, 7 or 8 that took only one slot instead of a couple, for why would you drop your enfield for a bow with 2 or 3 bolts.

I was thinking that some guys may want to dress like a bandit AT SPAWN edited

Ya, I've done it but I've found that negotiation is a fun and great part of the game, when you're requesting to trade or just request something and you both walk away alive it adds a dimension to this game that is sublime, if you shoot on sight as a habit, you're missing out on a satisfying and dynamic part of the game....get your mic working, hit capslock to talk

Probably been said before but there should be a 20 sec down time where ur character is motionless and a target, as soon as u hit abort u freeze on screen for 20 so you'd better make sure u abort when ur sure ur safe...THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

I now think that player verbal interactions will become more normative over time. That doesn't mean it will change the outcome! Changes in the mod affect player interactions, as do the experiences players have as they grow into the game. Will there be a betrayal if you commit to not killing another survivior, ya maybe, but its part of the game that makes the game, if everyone is a bandit or everyone is a friendly YOU HAVE NO GAME, that tension must exist and its important that as a player you be open to both of those possibilies IMHO, so I started this thread simply to bring awareness to the fact that another dimension of gameplay exists outside of the box you may have adopted. Whatever the outcome, verbal interaction in direct comm, is the primary element of this games intensity, I'm not always friendly and I'm not always a bandit, if my spidy senses are tingling that u may betray me, I'll put some lead in your arse pronto. Use capslocked in direct comm to use your mic

Ya, I want more ideas

man that's the perfect opportunity for a bandit, join the militia and then pick the militia off as a gunfight with another bandit ensues, perfect, bring on the militia

Anyways, whatever, I could right a thesis on why you're wrong, but lets leave it at this, it's a game, and no matter what the fact... it remains a GAME and that is the final criteria for my actions. One day I"m friendly, one day I'm not taking the risk but bottom line, it's a game and whatever philosophical or sociological leanings one has as their convictions, this is only a game and seeing it as any more than this is a misread

No Canadian dude, you know the guys that want to be American but are afraid to admit it, anyways I'm in denial too but I still want that steak

oh no dude, it ain't over, you in deep now boy, the only debate left is if I shoot you or run u over in my tractor,

buy a magazine

I'd check out my thread "tell us how u were betrayed," this thread is a cheap imitation of my thoughtful yet provocative thread

Helped a guy who had an axe kill 5 zombies...I started plugging them with my makarov, after we killed them I gave him a bandage and we went towards a barn. More Zombies, after we kill 3 of them now I'm outta clips ask buddy if he had any, knowing I was clipless buddy decides he's part cherokee and scalps me, all I remember seeing on my screen is him standing over me and positioning himself for the final blow as if he was going to behead me, I was choked, but still laughed, I remembered his name cause now I got an axe to grind Check out lol player destiny playing dayz on youtube with a group of his buddies, they highjack a car and shoot the occupants, the dialogue is priceless

hmmmm

exactly, the options are ours, and whats surprising after being a shoot first type of player in the past is that now I like to talk to my fellow survivor before I shoot him :) but ya never Know maybe I won't shoot you but might even help you out...thats the intrigue, pvp is essential in this game, that possible dynamic if lost means an end to this game for me, so do what you need to do, but try shooting off your mouth sometimes before your gun :) and I promise I'll shoot back something your way, hope that I don't find your whinny voice irritating dude :)

dude' date=' c'mon, read between the lines, its not a complaint, its a suggestion for gameplay, blow it off but it adds a realism that is missed when you shoot on sight as a rule, so .....there ya go [/quote'] I was kidding and poking fun at how a lot of people end up shooting on sight :V Sure it is a shame that people shoot everyone else but Rocket likes the PvP and how it is, we cannot control player actions and therefore have to deal with it. But the community can say fuck it and make their own groups as I have dedicated towards the greater side of DayZ, the more friendly approach that involves negotiation and helping the people. To combat such an issue is for the people to step up and do something, for you survivors out there that have actually been shot or killed by someone. Stand up and do something. threads and sarcasm, only for the brave, thx for the comment, in game, I'll take what comes but many times now I've found that if you want that adrenaline rush you approach cautious as a friendly commencing dialogue, it's way more of a rush to see how that plays out, 8 out of ten times I'm not emptying my clip
