superfluidity 14 Posted December 28, 2013 Hey mdog... I am new too.... add me if you like. I currently have a "Starter gift" in my pack... a peace offering if you will... I have an extra .45 in a holster and a spare (full) mag plus a head torch in a hard case. I like to keep a extra pistol or something to persuade strangers to trust I am not a bandit... again... handing someone a loaded gun... means I can't complain when they shoot me in the back....anyway... I am still close to the. Coast... anyone want to squad up... PM me... same name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakercompany86 347 Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks for sharing your experiences. I always like to here reports from the field, especially from new players. I've largely avoided players. I enjoy surviving solo. My friends and I have yet to meet up simply due to deaths and different play hours. Makes it tough. Other than flying solo, my interactions have been as follows: -First guy I ever killed. I was fighting a zombie and he runs up punching me in the back. I shoot him as he runs away. I catch him in the middle of the streets, and he's actually pissed that I shot him while he was unarmed regardless of trying to probably get a lucky knock out while I was fighting. Unfortunately for him I was full health, uninjured, and protected. What a douche... -Second guy immediately shoots me in the face through a window while I'm looting a house at night with my flashlight (this is before I knew they were like fragments of the sun at night and pass through all buildings). No warning, no communication, just death. -Third guy I ever encountered was probably the nicest and most trusting. I was a fresh spawn. Only had a can of food on me and I was hauling ass away from Cherno. This guy finds me going through a garbage heap in the middle of a field. He's fully equipped to our current "end game" standards. He actually gives me a pistol, with magazine, and 15 rounds. He does mention "don't try anything funny with it". I wasn't stupid, and wouldn't have done anything anyway. We parted ways peacefully. What a guy. -The next few people I encounter all try shooting at me without warning. I want to say this was 6-10 people. Mostly I ran from them as they were in duo's. Two of them I returned fire (more accurately) and they perished. -While running through Balota, I encounter and unarmed guy. I myself only have a baseball bat and an M4 with no magazine, just single chambered rounds. I tell him I'm only looking for food, and he backs away and leaves without a word. -Running to meet a friend, I hastefully search a lone house near the shore for food, as I'm out and getting hungry. On my way out I encounter a guy with a fireaxe. He swings and misses (I think) and immediately takes off running as I have a fully loaded M4. I unload half a magazine into his back. He doesn't die. I hear a phantom melee hit, and I die (nobody was near me). I chalk that one up to lag and move on (that's the most I've lost to date, and what a crappy way for it to happen). -Finally this morning, I get a chance to pay-it-forward from the guy who gave me the pistol and left in peace. I was in the not-so-secret military base east of Pustoshka. While looting one of the two barracks, I noticed a guy in the barracks to my right. I crept up on him and cornered him, he had no melee weapon and an M4 without a magazine. So he was pretty harmless. I struck up a conversation with him. He was completely honest, stating that he was in a hurry to find a melee weapon or ammo to kill me, because naturally he assumed I was hostile. His honesty saved him, and I mentioned that I'm not a typical kill-on-sight type of guy. So after a short conversation, we finished looting the base together. I ended up giving him some ammo for his M4 (I'm using a Mossin anyway), plus a couple other goodies like my old splitting axe. I made out with a nice new Fire Axe, a full medkit, and some charcoal tabs. I offered him food and water, but he declined as he was well stocked. We said our goodbyes and parted ways. I honestly love the many different encounters I have with humans. I'll be a lot more humanitarian in my efforts when I'm rolling with friends and we encounter solos or new spawns. Groups with guns usually mean trouble... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimM1983 57 Posted December 28, 2013 Some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. Alfred, it's you ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevilDog (DayZ) 455 Posted December 28, 2013 This is the Call of Duty generation. They see a first person shooter (type) game and want to go shoot other players. Also in COD everyone has a gun and knows that it is KOS, so when they play this they can gain an upper hand and "win" more without danger. I really love the bandit aspect of this game and applaud all of the bandits that play their role. All of these treeline snipers that just want to play COD in DayZ are simply playing the wrong game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
broadside 5 Posted December 28, 2013 I play Day-Z the exact same way I play STALKER. If I have a rifle with more than 10 rounds and a backpack I don't need anything but water, food and exploration. I only open fire on another soul when they force me to out of sheer ignorance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidskjalf 132 Posted December 28, 2013 Yeah I get that, and yesterday when I actually had loot I was much more cautious and did everything by the books (in the end, disease is what took me). What I don't understand though is that I waved at every one of these people. I said "hi" over voice, and they just sort of kill me with no rhyme or reason. Every time I was killed tonight I had nothing on me as I didn't even stay alive long enough to get anything useful. If I actually had loot I know better than to wave and expose myself to others, but I figured "what the hell, I have nothing anyway, might as well just say hello." I also find it funny that someone going around crow-baring people who can't defend themselves to death calls themself a bandit. As mentioned, I find that a bandit is someone who will steal your supplies and leave you helpless and bound, rather than just straight up coming after you crouched with a baseball bat :) I appreciate the tips too. I'll remember them for when [if] I ever get my hands on a gun again. And thanks for the welcome and the beans everyone! Glad to be here! It's because modern gaming as ruined a generation, they are complete mouth breathers so they just attack like every other video game as taught them to. It's nice to see that there is more people like yourself, being new and all, trying to be friendly and atleast using comm's. Props! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
