nidza 0 Posted June 18, 2012 So what's the point of roaming outside of cherno when you can run into a building and exit the backdoor and shake all the zombies off and just sprint around like you own the placePersonally I think we should run faster than the zombies so we can run away into a forest and not try to glitch them around trees...

potplanty 0 Posted June 18, 2012 The point is that Cherno is a shithole, you will get killed incessantly and only low tier items spawn in Cherno. Try finding a DMR in Cherno. Or NVGs. Or a GPS. Or anything good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obraxis 0 Posted June 18, 2012 i avoid cherno and elektro, im friendly... nothing worse then meeting some one who don't shoot u at first but waits till your back is turned and shoots u in the back of the head happen to me all the time in those places...gets annoying when your char is experienced and u have decent items and weopons in your inventory...i think as a future improvement a flag system should be introduced where players have to submit to being friendly, this way if they betray you they get penilized in some way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powermolch 3 Posted June 18, 2012 Cherno & Elektro are and where always Bandit Territority. If you want to go there for massive stashes of loot and equipment, prepare to get shot if you're not smart enough. Its risk vs. reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyrog 10 Posted June 18, 2012 There should be a special server where there's only Cherno and/or Elektro available. So people can shoot at each other freely while letting other people trying to survive in the wilderness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SubstanceP 0 Posted June 18, 2012 I believe GoblinShark sums the points up very well. Post-Apocalyptic zombie world does not mean everyone is going to suddenly ban together as the last of the human race and live and prosper.Resources are limited (granted this is a PC mod for a game...therefore there is respawn of loot), conditions are harsh, there are infested in the streets, and if I have enough rations for myself...you can bet that I am not going to share it with some random stranger I meet.Sure...if I see someone in the distance I might watch them for a while...following them to feel out their intentions. As long as I keep distance, I can observe the person carefully...trying to figure out if they mean harm to me or not. But if I am in the firestation and suddenly you open the door with weapon in hand...you can bet I will fire first if given the chance. I would take the same approach IRL...shoot first, ask questions later.This "game" as it stands is supposed to be a mod of a military simulator. I treat each life as my own, making decisions that reflect my instinct for survival if this were real. That's how I choose to survive. As GoblinShark said...if someone wants to survive by the means of "kill or be killed," so be it...you got in their way and you were the weaker link. In a world with no rules to govern the way people act...people are driven to their most primal instincts to survive.Basically, find a way to adapt..."fight or flight,"...and survive...or...die :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My post doesn't judge that play-style in any way (it's a sandbox after all), but if pk'ing purely for fun in a survival game isn't 'griefing', then I don't know what is. IRL such psychopathically deranged people would (thankfully) be in the extreme minority, but as this is a computer game they are over-represented and are drawn like moths to the big cities to find their quarry.

Get what you need from the city and get out. Cherno / electro are not safe places. and just for the record most of the bandits that kill me when im there usually do it from close range.

silenced (DayZ) 5 Posted June 18, 2012 Because it's a magnet for well-armed griefers who enjoy killing other players for fun.I would not go to Cherno to grief others, way to hot place if you're well equipped. Hide in a forest with a barn in view and wait, much more fun and less risky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
