Rick the Survivor 37 Posted October 15, 2012 I am a hero myself at about 14,000 humanity right now, i don't see the point of killing other players unless i need to. Plus i like the bulletproof vest and faster running, over a scarf on my head. Any bandits want to tell me im wrong? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted October 15, 2012 I voted survivor. After a long time spent as a medic and usually a hero I've recently changed my game style towards being more of an opportunist. I still try and help noobs and I always leave fresh spawns alone but the further north I go the more likely I am to kill some one if they pose any type of threat or are driving a nice shiny vehicle I need. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spunkmire 36 Posted October 15, 2012 I know the skin portrays a bullet proof vest, but does it actually contribute ?(sorry for such a noobish question) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted October 15, 2012 Apparently it can help protect from small arms fire but i think the overall effect is negligible. Not sure if anyone's actually done some tests though, would be nice to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted October 15, 2012 Well, you see, I won't shoot anyone that I know. If I meetup with someone via the forums I don't shoot them.If I'm talking to someone via side chat and we meet up, then I won't shoot them.If someone sees me before I see them and they ask if I'm friendly, then yeah I'm not going to shoot them because they didn't shoot me.If it's a case of merely running into someone I am more than often going to shoot them as they would do the same for me. I'll try and avoid killing them if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pEar (DayZ) 26 Posted October 15, 2012 I kill pretty much everything I see, unless I know them or I'm in a friendly mood. Also don't kill those that doesn't pose as a threat to me, so let's say someone freshly spawned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Floff4rn 19 Posted October 15, 2012 Am a bandit not because i want to be, but there is something called self defence...I have -6000 in hummanity only because a trip to stary sobor and NWAF.What really bothers me is that every time i died and respawn is that i keep spawning as bandit with -6k hummanity so it's really hard for me to be normal survior or to become a Hero(My Dream) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hazzathealmighty 51 Posted October 15, 2012 I'm just some guy that is just trying to survive. I'll help you if need be so, or blow your brains across the wall too if your not very nice to me or my friends. I may have a Hero skin, but I'll still kill you if you pose a threat to me. That's just the way I roll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spandex 5 Posted October 15, 2012 Voted Survivor.I don't KoS and would much prefer to have friendly interactions but I don't like getting killed.Last night we came across a dude who was AFK. Trouble was we were in the middle of quickly trying to repair a car we had come across and so I couldn't really afford him coming back to his keyboard, seeing us around him, panicking and opening fire. By the time we had got back to that spot someone would probably have had the car away. So I shot him. I felt bad about it but needs must... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutinen 635 Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I guess you could call me a hero, since I kill bandits and leave survivors alone. But I have found only one friendly survivor, so it's hard to get the actual skin. Voted for survivor. Edited October 15, 2012 by Sutinen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr.Duff 211 Posted October 15, 2012 Annoyingly the private server I play on restarts every six hours and it resets your humanity, so it doesn't really matter what you do. One day I can go around Cherno patching up survivors and the next, I could drive one out to Balota air strip and put his knees through with a revolver.

mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted October 15, 2012 I'm a random good guy. Whether the vest protects or not is a moot point, how many bandits will be trying to kill you with a 9mm?If you're one of the 3 who jumped a little blue car just North of Cherno: It was self defense, and if DayZ was more realistic I would've stuck your AKs up your asses and left you to bleed out. I'm usually nice, but.....DO NOT SHOOT MY CAR ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted October 15, 2012 I voted myself a Survivor... at minus 115K humanity most would call me a bandit but i survive by any means and that will include killing armed and dangerous players i come across. At the end of the day i am still alive... therefore i am a Survivor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thigo 0 Posted October 15, 2012 I would say that I'm a survivor, I don't KoS, but I try to interact in a more friendly way..I only shoot if I get shot at, or if I feel that my life is in danger in a certain situation. Currently, I think I'm at -1k humanity.. I always manage to go positive because I help people out with blood transfusion and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwobBwub 660 Posted October 15, 2012 Im a stealthy guy, sneak past zombles, get my loot, kinda like molly of the walking dead game, but if i see a player with a gun in the area, i shout run forrest run through direct comms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any bandits want to tell me im wrong?That is why i kill all of you and raid your tents on the island.Wow.. lol.Last time i played Dayz? i just do the pr work for the community. If its in a tent its free you dont see us with a private hive with a password. so hostile for someone who says they are a golden child.i mean its not like this topic has been actually mentioned before. Our group gets smashed all the time some times by hackers sometimes by legit people i dont see what your point is this game is not actually hard to kill another player.but yeah. i hope you proved you point? which im unsure as to what it was.By the way anyone want info on where our tents are at i can draw you a map anytime ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
