NotFish 50 Posted February 9, 2014 So I've decided I'm going to take a crack at pacifism. In my next life I'm going to get my hands on a backpack and a fire axe to fend off the undead, but I'm going to stay away from all guns and run away if attacked rather than retaliate. I'll even keep my axe in my bag, despite it taking up so much space, so that I appear as non-threatening as possible. I wonder how I'll fare... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishGuts4Lunch 66 Posted February 9, 2014 You will fair well until you come across your first player in the game who will most likely kill you. IMHO the only people who are not a danger to you in the game are bambis who have nothing to attack you with and even those guys need watching. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sidwulf 69 Posted February 9, 2014 Well, what do you expect? It's an apocalypse, you don't just run up and say hi to anyone you meet. You watch them, you stalk them, you avoid being seen while wandering through towns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishGuts4Lunch 66 Posted February 11, 2014 Very true, The only time I have ever been able to talk to someone in the game is on the coast when we are both still virgin Bambi's. Then it is actually quite cool. Even if he kills me I have nothing to lose and will most likely spawn close having only lost a little bit of time. I did meet a guy once at the NWA and we both had next to nothing and that went off quite well. we came across each other 2 minutes later and he had found and axe. Then it was a different story. He gave me the chop without so much as a how do you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r3volution (DayZ) 19 Posted February 12, 2014 Notfish, I wish you the best of luck with that. I've been tempted to try a similar route. I'm kind of concerned by the number of people who have decided after a couple of negative player interactions that it's easier to be part of the problem rather than play like a non psychotic. So it's always heartening to see someone else attempting an alternate route. Happy trails! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archone88 29 Posted February 12, 2014 Ive killed 5 people this life, in selfdefence, and in greed. 3 of which were shooting at me first.. 2 with a wrench, and the last 3 with a fireaxe.My point, its not hard at all to kill people with guns, when theres buildings around, since they are almost always panicking. Or simply have a bad aim (player wise or charwise). I think youll have a much easier time to survive in the cities, on 20-30pop servers.Than full servers in the outskirts of civilisation. Its so easy to loose track of someone, sprinting and ziggzagging through town. Especially if they arent holding anything in their hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
