Why do newspawns even try?

[DayzForumer 284]

I mean, why do newspawns even try? 5 bullets to their chests and they're dead. Stop taking the chance. It's not worth it. Go up north, get geared. Stop wasting your time on trying to kill people. Avoid them instead.

Don't hate, i'm just trying to give tips.

newspawn is the best time to pull that, 9/10 he will end up back in the spawn he just came from with little to no loss, if by some chance he comes across a gullable player or one with a bad aim he can gear up straight from the get go of some fools gear that let him get close.

 

You got nothing to loose in those first 10 - 15 minutes of spawning but a short run back.

so you ask why newspawns attack geared people instead of going north - while you post a video in which you as a newspawn successfully  punch at a geared sniper above the power plant, kill and loot him? irony much? shameless promotion of your youtube channel?

 

 

thats hardly "General Discussion".worthy.

Eh. Generalizing is rather foolish, no? There are situations where it's perfectly reasonable to toe to toe with a shooter.

When you know the sniping spots, people can be predictable.

Some fool came at me once with an M4. Popped out of a bush while I was running up the coast. I ditched him, then doubled back and followed him for twenty minutes.
Predictably as he chose to be, he squated in another bush. So I snuck up to him and hacked into into tiny pieces with my Axe. Same scenario could have easily happened with just my fists.

If you expose yourself and don't happen to have a helmet of some sort on? Expect me to follow you. Expect me to determine rather you are an easy target or not. If you're trying to rob me and get careless, the same outcome might occur. There are times to fight. Times to flee. Times to surrender. And..times to die.

I'll just sit back, relax and watch this guy get fried.

There is no logic allowed here. Your post has been reported. The flying monkeys are in-route.

Gameplay like yours makes me wish they had removed the third person cam a long time ago

and thus the entire problem with Dayz... your life means NOTHING..

 

sadly its all about the trinkets u pick up..shame it isnt the other way round..

 

but i dont think a players life will ever be worth anything in this game.. its way to late in the race to try to come up with such a game changing addition now..

 

it'll prolly end up being DM-fest chernarus edition forever...

Video does not relate to what you are saying

[merlointhesky 20]

most of the time it's bandits killing bambis anyway. If I have to die, I'd rather punch back even once.
