VaultDweller (DayZ)

Welcome to DayZ and have a nice daily resurrection.

Making friends in DayZ is close to impossible. An example: It all started with another random encounter. Me with a gun and other guy without weapons (but full on supplies/food) ,shorten version i cought him getting supplies in one of the buildings. I acted as a ,,bandit,, type of player pointing my weapon at his head saying via direct chat ,,friendly,,? Guy panicked with a respond of ,,Don's shoot,friendly,friendly,, Finding myself in a ,,better spot,, i was feeling more powerful and i started quite douchy with ,,have any supplies on your my friend?,, He said ,,no i swear,just respawned,kill me if you want to check i have nothing to lose,, I said i woudn't do that cuz it woud attract lot of walker's on us (and unecessery bandits),so he might live as my future companion. After 10-15 min of walking we run into bandit with a rifle. Offcourse mister Rambo started shooting on sight. We took cover behind next corner. Guy asked me why dont i shoot back and take him down. I said ,,Dude,i ain't no bandit,, Him:,,What diffrence does it make,that guy is onto us,this is self deffence,beside you wanted to kill and loot me about 20 min ago,how the heck does that NOT make you a bandit,, Me: Dude...the gun is emmty -.- Him: 0.0 !!! After a while we evaided that bandit by splitting up and getting into the forrest. That was my little interesting experiance i wanted to share with you guys,seem's good for this thread.

I think you are on the wrong website. Try searching for STEAM then in left 4 dead thread.

You cant stop the bandits neither do we want to. Its what making this mod such an excellent experiance in first place. Your aproach was so dull and blank. What you experiance was a classic Dayz encounter. This is a cruel and brutal game. What else did you expect from him after 5-8 sec of non replyng? Ask ,,friendly,, once,if the other player doesnt respond to you dont keep persisting on a contact. Two options : 1. Back away slowly after not replyng to you. 2. Shoot him. (kill or be killed) Its a basic survival instict...wich as i see,you failed. Lesson learned. Players in this game has nothing to do with the game. Game will never turn into shit,it will never change,the only thing that will change is your way at looking at it. Welcome to DayZ my friend.

1. Your post is to long but i got your point (yes,i read it all) 2. Everything you posted as a flaws of this game is actuly what maked this mod interesting in first place. 3. Bandits are 85% of this game.(mostly guys who played FPS deatmach games true their entire life,,bored,, guys like yourself and 75% of others in this game) 4. Once you get all your gear its your personal prefrence by going on the rampage or continue your survival.Being or becoming a bandit or silent guardian angel,or just staying neutral. 5. The mod was intended as hardcore in first place,it was always against you,it is a hard,brutal and unforgiving experiance. 6. Everything ,,we,, hate about this mod is actuly the no.1 thing that makes us get back to it and play some more. Its funny how people are forgeting that this is just a MOD (plus a mod in alpha stage) and FREE. And you guys still cant stop expressing your negative opinions on it.Its funny how 90% of your statements are refering to anoying players and incuding ,,thats,, why this mod is failling.Mod and players are 2 separate things.

It's a trap ! Trust no one -.-

That little story of yours sounds like another regular day in DayZ.

It really goes down to your personal prefrences. You coud eather continue surviving and go on a survival marathon (how manny days without dying,basic loner) Or became a helping hand,helping others when they get themselfs in a bad spot. (medic or an silent guardian angel,its a risky thing to do also,coud get shoot or killed,but for others who appreceate your good will coud shure make a new friendship and boost your reputation) Or you just get bored and do the most common thing around... go on rampage and became a bandit.(the easiest thing to do,get some hilly billy friends and shoot everything you see,no tactics,no thinking..just kill,loot and move on to the next target) Personaly i choose the second option. (cuz its the most challenging and rarest thing around these days)

Thats just your opinion how to proceed when you collect everything you need. I however look completly diffrendly at situation by not raising (or if possible having) any kills at all,not looking at this game as FPS shooter) When i gather all the stashes i need il simply continue surviving as long as possible (counting days without dying) , by making some new friends (yea its hard as hell) but its doable by right aproach. Killing others on sight just lowers my level of humanity (atleast in this game IMO) But thats just my prefrence,just like you got yours. Not tryng to be good/bad guy or anything. Simple experiment of how woud i react if i ever find myself in similar situation.

You know you're playing to much Dayz when you get out of the house in a prone position.

Then why woud you take his life in first place? There are 2 types of survivors in here: Basic ones (just tryng to survive true scavengine,hiding and avoiding contacts as much as possible) Bandits (scavenging and killing other players so they cut their trouble of searching for loot) You however on the other side make no sense...killing other player without a reason is just brutal. If you are shooting other players just for fun,then im gonna admit this game aint gonna last long for you.

Do you guys know whats the funniest part in this thread? All these flaws,bugs,glitches and high level of challanges who needs ,,fixing,, cuz it turned this game into ,,shit,, and ,,this wasnt what i was expecting when i was seeing all those epic videos on the youtube,, and ,, i bought ArmA II for this mod,, (that last one is just hilarious to me...mod is free,wasting your money on ArmA is for diff topic) But back to the funniest part,all this things you complained about in this thread...well...thats the thing that sucked me into this game in first place. It can't compare with anything i had played so far,totaly brand new experiance. Its a post-realistic,hardcore,horror survival game. The entire game is against you,it wants you dead,plain and simple,testing your mental and psyhic patience (for breaking keyboards especialy) If you are a COD type of gamer who RAGE after first time being killed and have apsoluetly no patience whatsoever...then walk away,dont even bother testing this game out. I saw alot of ridicilous and apsolutely useless complainings in here. You keep telling these trolls and nutsacks that this game is STILL in alpha. (wich btw they know and still bitch about how is not even good enought for an alpha) All these bugs and annoying minor stuff that we encounter everyday are fixable with few upcoming patches in the future. This game is hardcore and you need to have a preety big balls of steel to keep playing it everyday...intime you get rewarded and get highly addicted. Amazing....just,amazing. Cant wait for standalone pack of it.
