TheBadger (DayZ)

Nothing turning up in the wiki, nothing on the google search, you think there'd be more people talking about such a critical function. Because of this, although I don't say I'm 100% certain, I do not believe it is possible in DayZ as of yet.

I've tried a few google searches here and there but I'm not turning anything up on this particular subject.

I'm actually planning on starting a good deed feed for my youtube channel of doing nice things for strangers in DayZ. Just to show it isn't all doom and gloom.

It's no lie, a lot of people are out for themselves in this game because really there's no better way to handle it. You're gonna meet good people, don't get me wrong. It's whether you want to fight on their level and become one of them or rise above it and maybe be the savior for someone that really needs it. It's really, really strange to say this about a game but you need a certain level of emotional security because you'll hear innumeral stories about people getting betrayed, shot, destroyed, robbed, mugged-- but only a couple good people in between. It's generally a good idea to remember this simple picture: There's no way around it.

This is a completely unconstructive post. Look, I've had situations like this happen to me-- turns out the server lagged, bullets flew during the intermission and I unfortunately somehow managed to wind up in the middle of their path. There were no gun shots, there was no warning. I died and I took it like a man and I came back with a hatchet and carved my own back. THEN WHY DID YOU INSTALL IT AND WHY ARE YOU HERE. Excuse my impoliteness. The game is not "unplayable" because you had a single bad run in. Unplayable? I wonder what those tens if not hundreds of thousands of players are doing logged into servers. I'm really not trying to aggrovate you. I swear. Although I have had a couple beers.

Here, let me bump this thread so everyone can see you embarrass yourself some more. You seem to want it. You're welcome.

Sorry good sir, but it appears that the sympathy didn't spawn in this castle. Look, you wouldn't probably wouldn't run into a fire station to scream about how fire is bullshit after the deed is already done. Probably a good idea not to do it here.

Yes. Any players in close quarters will be blinded by your sheer glory. (Also I may play on your server if it's public, been looking for a good stable server to settle down on.)

Rocket had to design the bear traps to keep people out of his super secret DevTest Fortress, let the man prioritize his privacy.

I know, but at least I said it in a manner that was closer to classy. I did us all a favor, true story.

I hate to be facetious but let's just remove the pants entirely to solve the problem.

I think we should dress the Bandits in bright purple neons. Not only do we get to single people out, but people would want to be singled out for this rad zombie rave oppertunity. Or you could check to see if they have a scope. I've never met a player with a scoped sniper rifle that wasn't a prick. Yet, anyway. It's a pretty good way of telling if they're a bandit already.

I agree, I've been playing only for a few days but I've only once thought about being a coward-- never again. It's a bitter up hill struggle and I have no weapons experience, but it makes my few victories feel all the more sweet. Did you have any companions with you?

Go prone and roll for great justice. I'm not even kidding. It's so safe to earthworm your way to sweet Russian victory. If you do have to go to a city, ready some binocs and scope out forest edges and rooftops first.

Challenge accepted. And I'm gonna record it all. all thirty seconds of survival.

What, the point? Because he certainly didn't get a gun.

I'm not following. So you're saying I don't start with a gun? Without a gun, I start without a gun and therefore are without a gun. Shit.

Although not really gamebreakingly unrealistic, I mean, these men are supposed to be Ex-soldiers. They're at least (mostly) fit enough to do some basic free running.

I'm starting a petition to include Band-aids™ for when I fall down the stairs.

And so there I was, the hero of electro, standing tall upon the school building-- praised and loved by all for my humanitarian efforts to unite the survivors-- when a gun crack in the distance caused me to immediately soil myself in front of my onlookers. Thousands of zombies came to satisfy their curiosity of foul butt odor and for the first night... Electro was silent. ...But deadly.

Tell me, have you ever told a story where shitting your trousers was such a critical plot point that you had to leave it in?

Reluctantly, I have to agree with the OP in the matter. Even if the way it's worded is verbose and unecessarily dripping with anger, sarcasm and swears-- fact is at this point zombies are a joke. You can almost visualize your character as a car while playing Grand Theft Auto and the zombies are just minor obstacles that you need to gently swerve around like you're taking a morning cruise-- while having a drive-by against the person racing you. Sure, you can lose your way, be run off the road and eventually cornered if you're unfortunate, but as soon as you learn your environment, everything changes. Stick on cruise control and steer your way to sweet victory. The biggest issue I'd say is the delay it can take between a zombie catching up to you and actually striking you, the number of times I've seen these kenyan athletes reach a survivor only to take a four second moment to pause and focus their chi so they may strike is innumeral. With a no delay lag between catch and hit, I think it would help with the "problem" of survival.
