People are so scared of death and what it means in this game that they...

[jubeidok 495]

...would rather turn up gamma than use light sources in the game.

...won't fire their weapons other than to kill another player.

...will run around with 16 cans of food and drink.

...will play on servers with name plates on.

...won't play at night.

...will shoot you in the back after saving them.

...won't leave the coast.

...hoard vehicles, but never use them.

...cheat like it was going out of style.

and so on...

=P

Night sucks, flashlight sucks.

...won't fire their weapons other than to kill another player.

When else do you need to fire them? :ph34r:

...will run around with 16 cans of food and drink.

Bear Grylls style!

...will play on servers with name plates on.

:facepalm:

...won't play at night.

Is it just me or did you already mention the night thing?

...will shoot you in the back after saving them.

Dem psychopaths.

...won't leave the coast.

Did you say "afraid of death"? I could have sworn the coast was Hell Central.

...hoard vehicles, but never use them.

Gotta Catch Them All!

...cheat like it was going out of style.

It's been out of style since Proverbs 11: "The Lord hates cheating, but he delights in honesty."

I don't get your point. People will play a game how they want. It's the game's job to steer players into a certain direction. I never understand why people complain when others don't play a game exactly how they want them to.

[DubPlate 38]

So what? You do what the fuck you want too that's the idea.

Why are you worried about what other people are doing? The whole point of this game is that you play it how you want.

DayZ is what you make of it. You shouldn't complain about how people play it.

Hi.

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

Night is the only way to play.

[jubeidok 495]

...will let their fear carry over into the forums where they attack any post that doesn't seem like it's kissing someone's ass about something, no they will find something to attack in those as well.

If you missed my point in this thread, I think you miss the point of DayZ.

THEY DON'T LIKE MY POST

I SHOULD CALL THEM COWARDS BECAUSE I'M BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM

I see no attacking, only civilized disagreements. Anyway, isn't the whole point of the game to survive aka not dying?

[Mitunzz 90]

The concept of sandbox game comes into mind while I read this, like Fraggle said... you're just complaining about a game in which you can do as you please. It's your choice, not everyone does what is stated above.

[Saethkept 134]

You live. You survive. You kill. You die. You write your own story; that is the true eloquence of DayZ. Had a clan crew land 500 meters off my one o'clock one night around the NE airfield. I knew they were bandits, they knew it - they'd been KoS'ing all night on the server. I was in some rocks, it was very dark and I was armed with an FN/FAL AN/PVS. I watched as they rendezvoused with the rest of their crew who drove up in a Ural Civilian. I asked in chat "are you friendly, I have eyes on the Huey and the Ural." We talked a bit. the jist of their frantic plea was: don't shoot us, don't panic and shoot, don't get paranoid ... we are leaving." The trouble was, I was already paranoid - from the moment I had logged in hours before. That's the essence of survival in DayZ, I think - constant paranoia to some degree.

...won't play roly poly races down hills with me in case they get shot..pffft

I love it when people rage when they don't think you are playing a SANDBOX game properly (i.e. the same as they play).

[Imafighter 236]

I play on servers that only have night time. 24/7 daylight servers are a waste of server space.

[codave 121]

STOP DOING THINGS I DON'T LIKE.

[jubeidok 495]

The lack of comprehension from you people is terrifying.

There are no complaints here. Nor am I trying to tell anyone how to play. Maybe you need to stop and ask yourselves why you immediately saw those observations as such.The fact

I'll let it soak in a little further and see if anyone finally get's it.

[CS14 133]

Another thread with pointless bitching... *sigh*

This is why I don't come on the forums often...

[Grandchamp (DayZ) 14]

He has a point with the gamma thing though, it is like cheating and should be taken care of.

[EliteSkittle 59]

When Dayz has a realistic lighting cycle for night, and the flashlights doesn't suck so hard, then I'll turn my gamma down till then not that it matters I have NVG's

And if you are not bitching then what are you doing? what is the purpose of this post? It seems to me that you are pointing out a game mechanics you do not agree with, in some and just bitching in others. People call it as they see it. And I see you, whining about how some people PLAY A VIDEO GAME. Take a chill pill, and get over it.

[Rott (DayZ) 218]

Dead wrong ... if said player has a pos monitor it may need adjusting to get optimal gama/brightness/contrast... btw with it adjusted all the way for that night time sneak ... normally so washed out that it rather hinders than helps... cry moar about some useless topic please.

[joinnkakashi@gmail.com 31]

We are calling as we are seeing, In a survival situation of a Zombie outbreak which Day Z is pretty much a simulator of that, is exactly how things would go down. Daylight is dangerous because of Zeds and players, and night is more so, players aren't going to ask questions on wither or not your friendly or a Bandit. If you are in the way you are going to be killed. Just cause someone gave you a blood transfusion doesn't mean they aren't going to walk out of sight turn around and snipe you.

You brought nothing new to this discussion. There's nothing to "soak in".

Every single thing you just complained about has been discussed to death. Yes, almost everything you talked is cowardly (except for the things about night and the nameplates. I don't play on night servers. The reason? I don't have the patience to walk at 2 mph around a 225 KM2 map just so I can use a flashlight. I play on servers that have nameplates. Why? Because I don't give a flying crap about that. I don't even know if it's even on or not). But did we already know this? Yes. We did.

This is a useless thread that did nothing for the community. Everything on this has been discussed to death, and it's ridiculous that you would bring up again without first checking the graveyard or using the search function.

[jubeidok 495]

Holy fuck you guys are thick. The whole post is about fear of death in a "video game" and what it brings out of people, the lengths they will go to protect that life. All points are facts, not complaints. No game before this has made you tools protect a life the way DayZ does. It's the best part about the game while at the same time being the worst.

Can you imagine if people in games like CoD or BF dc'd when you started shooting a them?

Anyways, was hoping others would add some other examples of the ridiculous things people do out of fear of death in this game.
