Cave (DayZ)

I thought that was the only correct way to play the game.

No no no, this is defence common surviours, not a heavy weapons guy. Besides, you should accept dying as part of the game. There is no way to completely avoid it at all, we can only delay it... but the way you delay it, could give you a few weeks extra of survival.

Than he obviously bested your party. I mean, if you meet a guy holding a powerful gun in real life and he is a psycopath killing everyone he sees... rest in peace. He also deserves that kill as he got a weapon that did his job. He is not overpowered, he will eventually run out of ammo and be killed somehow. We all will. Just simply respawrn, regroup and repeat. Now one cna argue there's not enough beans to go around, than you risk it and spit the group and search different towns or different parts, than regroup somewhere. You don't even need to join an empty server, simply mess around in the Arma 2 editior. What? Everyone forgotten it exists?

Rocket is actually thinking of doing that by making zombies more hostle, so my suggestion will eventually become a must... soon.... soooooooooooooooon.

You must be thinking: Shouldn't this be in the new players discussion? ...Well, I am thinking of posting it here as a lots of so-called "seniors" happen to do this as well. I know your grandfather says "It's etheir kill or be killed" but I have thought hard and well to figure out a solution to still regain your "humantiy" and "kindness" in this now broken world. Simply team up with a friend. Can be an online friend or a real life friend. The more people you have in your party, the less willing loners will want to kill you on sight. Sure you can get sniped from a distance, but if that happens than you are obviously going somewhere you shouldn't as you ain't prepared. Now, I am not saying you should kill everyone else you see with your friends, but I am saying you should try and convice other survivours you join your party. Simply walk to them and ask gently "Do you want to join us?". If the guy says yes, than let him and maybe add him to your Steam, giving him trust... which if he breaks, he will feel gulit unless he is really evil. Sure you can lose everything if he quickly kills all of you from behind and removes you from friends so he can take your loot, but I assure you thati's human nature to regert such actions even if it is a video game. Besides, you can simply spread the friends you trust away from each other, so if he kills one, the others can easily react If the guy rejects, than simply walk away, of course keeping your eye that he dosen't follow. Guy tries to shoot you than he was obviously being a moron as your friends will have handled him well before he can even loot. You could also kill him for his items... but that's even worse than a loner killing you for it. I know you may have seen the above two paragraphs in a thread in the NPD, but I really think everyone should take a look. I've tried it and the imitating froce of my party actually works against many lone survivors. Ofcourse, there's the osscinal psycopath, but my friends were easily able to take care of them. Only problem you would face is snipers OR a bandit party, but that's a fair and fun fight isn't of a quick death now, isn't it? Have fun!

You know that problem people face with other people killing them on sight? There's a very simple solution that dosen't turn you into everyone else whose trigger happy. Simply team up with a friend. Can be an online friend or a real life friend. The more people you have in your party, the less willing loners will want to kill you on sight. Sure you can get sniped from a distance, but if that happens than you are obviously going somewhere you shouldn't as you ain't prepared.

" Of course there are downsides to most ideas and the only downside I see is that it turns from DayZ - Zombie survival into DayZ - Deer hunting extreme season." Tbh, having both of these in one mod would make my day. Also, Cherno is scary.

I would really like a wooden, tree stick to be a starting weapon or an weapon you can find in the woods that can easily counter small number of zombies. I am a new player trying this game and I have been chased across the island by one lone zombie before, irritating. I been told there used to be a gun as a starting weapon. Currently, I can't seem to find a way to escape zombies that are chasing you. This suggestion is realistic to what you would attempt in an actual apocalypse and would make the game's start considerably more fun. It would be weak, but it can help me kill that one lone zombie that somehow chases you all around the map. There are currently no realistic ways to evade zombies. Please somehow add this feature. I also think kitchen knifes should be a very common item you can loot from homes, which should be able to handle about 2 - 4 zombies at a time.
