How long to gear up?

[TheScruffyBandit 382]

Anyone voting less than 20 hours shouldn't be playing this game in the first place. There are better PvP focused shooters out there, if all you want to do is grab a gun and start popping caps in peoples virtual backsides, a multiplayer survival simulator isn't for you.

 

You don't have any intitlement to a fully pristine and modified M4 or long range scoped mosin. This is a survival game, if you find a nackered old shotgun in a barn, a handful of shells and a bag of only slightly moldy rice, you should be dancing through the streets of electro, because you're doing fine.

 

The elements of the playerbase who feel the need to be fully geared within an hour or two, so they can get back to shooting up anything that moves need to be purged. I'm obviously not talking about removing PvP of course, that's a valid survival stratergy too, but the kids who are ONLY interested in rapidly fully geared so they can get back to DM Cherno? Those people don't belong in DayZ.

You guys need to read the poll. This isn't about how long it takes you, it's about how long it should take in your opinion.

 

Damn. I misread, shame on me, and that after all that ranting that people can't read....damn karma^^

 

And I think 99% of the voters also misread and voted, how long it took them to get geared up and not how long it SHOULD take...so no hate from me against the poll results ebcause they are rather useless I think ^^

Whoopsies... apparently I misread as well.  I like the 20hr number myself.

Good stuff. I like the one about killing a guy with an axe and being geared in 10 mins. This was my first post and i feel i should have been more specific. Ill remake it and well try again.
