Lonewolf , Wolfpack, And Other Thoughts.

[Wightlion 28]

Firstly let me express my thoughts on DayZ so far,....

 

Being  quite a veteran mature of age gameplayer the only other game that I have played that I enjoyed so much was the COD world at War multiplayer tactical crouch servers I love playing Arma II and the DayZ mods and I find this game much much better than that, in other words I love DayZ SA

 

For all the  Alpha faults, glitches, bugs, within the game so far, this game is going to be a classic, possibly the most classic game ever because its you that makes the game whatever you want it to be.

For example

 

I like lonewolfing, I like doing my own thing, I like finding a town getting in gearing up and getting out, I like watching other players doing their thing oblivious to my presence, I like going to help out Fresh prawns if they get into difficulty or taking on the Kos`ers,...I have not been killed thus far by a Prawn because I never give them the opportunity to do so,..keeping them in sight at all time and out of range with their fists etc.and if they give it the large out they have a choice of either leaving me along or dying,..simples !

Last week I met up with a friendly,...group,... 2 guys at first then 3 and finally ending up with 6 so then I became a part of a wolfpack and again we, as a group, helped out players took on the Kos`ers mainly around Elecktro.

Things became exciting when another pack entered the area and a massive firefight took place,..I say pretty exciting because it made my heart pump and made me think seriously about tactics and preserving my game life,...what other game has made you an emotional wreck and has made you actually think about what you are doing.

Sadly one of my group was over enthusiastic with his M4 and I became another "Blue on Blue" statistic and saw the DZ>BSOD.

 

Respawn and live to fight another day

 

The gun battle would have been bloody brilliant but our combatants upon finding that they were losing and instead of graciously dying by the sword decide to `batlog and ghost into an advantageous position,.....sad for them to do that really and pretty much spoilt it all in the end,..my group still became the victors but, well you know

 

I see a lot of posts coming through the forum about the game being boring, about the quality of game play,bemoaning the bugs and glitches and while everyone who has purchased the game absolutely has the right to voice an opinion but come on,.........Rome wasnt built in a day and all that,... and yes some things do seem slow to being rectified,....ghosting, batlogging, item spawning and zombies being able to run through walls after you think that youve outwitted them. Why not help the Devs out with the bug report system however minor you think it may be to you it may make a whole lot of difference as we slowly advance towards the Beta.

I say we,....we are all in this together right.

 

Again I say to you,....its your game and you can make the game whatever you want it to be but some of you are going to have to be patient

i usually game with 5 other people at any given time. pretty fun.

 

but i also like lonewolfing. i like tracking other players on 1st p servers. i hunt, survey and usually kill if i think they will have good loot. 

grab what i need and then hide in the camouflage. survive more, hunt more. 

 

its a fun game. i think 99% of the people whining are the same ones who dont know how to find a gun, or will spend 22 hours gathering food without protection. i can do without them anyways, im sure they are usually the clueless bambi i watch and let go to search a first tier house with nothing in it.

I was 30 hours into this game before i really started interacting with people. I only yesterday killed my first player because they shot at me. I usually hide and let people move on. None of my friends play this game really so I usually lonewolf it. I get to a standstill playing this game. I'll sneak my away around and gear up, then get scared to move to far and get KOS'd and lose everything. But then when it happens, i just laugh and respawn.

 

I mostly go to NW/NE airfield and check people out. Today I went into one of the offices, entry was closed and the cell at the bottom was. Looted some painkillers and went to go upstairs when I noticed a door open at the top of the stairs and a guy run out. Obviously a hopper. I waited underneath the stairs and lit his backside up when he came down. Later on down the way in the other office building ran into another guy who immediately put his gun away and yelled friendly. I put mine away and we talked for a second or two before I left the building for him to continue loot. So far I have only killed 2 people.

 

Perhaps someday I'll come out of my shell some, but maybe after the kiddies get tired of playing it and go back to fast paced FPS games.
