morrow 19 Posted January 7, 2014 With all of this hate going around for people like me and my clan (not to mention the hundreds of others) we do it for the "hunt" we stalk our prey and hit him when he is weak, we "hunt" the deadliest game on Earth. You call us bandits but what else can we do? We have no Mountains in the North to explore and hunt deadly game, or anything that gives the rush of fighting people in a city, or stalking prey through the woods. You guys do not get it.

Wolfguarde 108 Posted January 7, 2014 after reading the topic i do kinda agree with the poster, i played the DayZ mod as i bought it in the winter sale (after owning standalone and player 20+ hours) and immediately on the mod (epoch) on a private hive, after using side chat for asking help with what is this for, where is a good place to get loot, do i need a toolbox for this etc... i have met someone in game who has driven over to meet me, and helped me out a bunch with gear and food, then i managed to join a group of 4 who have bases an army of vehicles etc. everyone is freindly even the person that killed me cuz he thought i was trying to run him down at NWAF. And yet in the standalone the only freindlies i have met are those without weapons because they know its futile trying to kill someone with anything other than Axe of firearm. i dont like this it makes me sad, hopefully when there are objectives like basebuilding and so on then people will be to busy with that to kill others Part of this is the lack of global chat - communication has a huge effect on how people will look at each other in a game, particularly a game like this. You'll generally notice that the people who aren't friendly in the mod will be completely silent in side chat, but start complaining/hurling abuse when someone kills them - or will start teasing someone they've killed. I noticed that the players who tend to talk a fair bit in global are usually pretty reasonable. They still play competitively - which is to say, they will shoot you on sight - but if you ask for help, it's pretty rare that you won't get it if you're using proper English.(ie. not bare-minimum words to get meaning across, kind of thing)I haven't racked up many hours in the standalone, but of the few people I've come across, all have been like me - killing on sight. I've been mostly avoiding contact if I know someone is in the area, since it took until my most recent two hours of play to find a new firearm after the last character wipe, rather than doing my usual thing, but the ones who have noticed me have generally tried to hack/beat/shoot me to death.

RestlessLegs 15 Posted January 7, 2014 coming from a sandbox I can safely say the new players who KOS simply don't see anything else to do with the sand ive watched 30+ hours of Frankie so... plenty for me to do :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sooden 301 Posted January 7, 2014 Just something I noticed with a encounter with 'friendly' bambi. I was in a building finishing a can of food and they ran in, so I watched them and they posed no threat and they picked up a crowbar I had dropped earlier (I had na axe hidden in my backpack). So, I left them alone and ran on, keeping an eye on them. They where heading the same way as me and as soon as I saw them in the same building as me with a crowbar out, I back my self into a corner with no escape, to see what would happen. Sure enough, they ran at me and try to kill me :( So I get out my hidden axe and teach them a lesson. Point is, this bambi was nice till they though they had a slight advantage. Still I dont KOS, and it more fun to let them make the mistake of attacking you :P Cant really do that if they have a gun, so i die a lot :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martink8190@gmail.com 149 Posted January 7, 2014 Admittedly some new spawns are just desperate or headless chickens without any thought lol. I was in berezino supermarket and saw a newb with nothing but a hatchet coming in so I hid behind the shelves farther from the main entrance. He somehow seen me and right away went for the kill. He glitched through the floor though and all I could see was his head and tips of his shoulders with said hatchet above his head so there we were running around in between shelves making it very hard to get a shot with my FNX45. He scored good 3 hits so I run to the supermarket backyard near wall to bandage myself and get out of that damn glitchy building. I bought the time I needed to bandage myself and aimed at the exit, knowing he would take far too many rounds to get anywhere close to me again. That didn't stop him and he wanted to finish me off so opened fire and he took good 6 shots to the chest before he dropped right in front of me. I think hes had a good chance with that hatchet in such close encounter have I not had bulletproof west and military helmet in pristine condition...who knows.Made me think again of being invincible in all that armor in tight space ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
