breaking legs to grief

[gannon46 788]

I am a bandit most of the time and when I say that it means I usually do my best not to kill the person I'm robbing(unless they just piss me off-with verbal diarrhea).I thought I would state my playstyle because I know I'm going to get called a carebear etc. carebear bandit ok. well now to the issue. so I've played with a few cats that like to shoot people in the legs and leave them after bandaging them. I think to myself this poor bastard has to crawl a few hours or less to find a stick or morphine or someone to put him in the ground. I usually shoot them and then get flak for it from some of my group or I give them my morphine and tell them to get the hell down the road quick . sometimes this has happened to new players first life and even if its a veteran player this is bullshit. I know its a game PVP/etc but really take this out of the game. all its doing is making people quit playing the game. I know if it happened to me I would be pissed I would keep playin but I'm sick. I just don't want this game to be just a grief fest. so next time if you break a guys legs do him a favor and just finish the job or don't do it to begin with. and hopefully this gets removed not the legs breaking altogether just from bullets at least for now. so make morphine more plentiful or make it to where we can grab branches from trees to craft splints. this has been on my mind for awhile and its getting more popular amongst the sick and twisted. I have started asking people I hold up if they do that and if they admit to it I torture the shit out of them I have my darkside too. and by torture I don't break legs. any ideas or thoughts or hatred spewing over let me know thanks.

i don't agree with bullets not doing damage to legs but i agree with your idea on being able to extract branches or sticks from trees, we are playing in a giant forest basically so its only logical

[makomachine 263]

You lost me when you said you were a bandit. Stealing my stuff gets your legs broken on the far side of the map! :)

[gannon46 788]

yeah it makes sense for bullets to break legs but until they make it that you can break branches from trees or something it should be put on hiatus.

[DarkwaveDomina 1099]

I imagine, or rather hope, the current sticks are just place-holders. In the mod we could get wood from trees if we had a hatchet.

[gannon46 788]

yep I'm a bandit. i thought it would be nice to hear some incite about this not coming from a hero/or newplayer. as these issues are uusually brought up by those individuals. if this issue fall on deaf ears so be it i tried

[byrgesen 1341]

:o  next time use paragraphs mate, this thread is overwhelming to look at lol.

 

Back on topic:
No, keep this in the game, if people want to be an idiot and break someones leg and leave them there, they should have the choice to tbh.
This game isnt ment to be easy, its not ment to be 100% fun and sunshine, its brutal and unforgiving.
One mistake can cost you hours and hours of work.

It was always like this in the mod, so why change it now? Dont see it sorry mate.

Tbh ive been robbed a couple of times, and once i was left north of Electro, with a broken leg and nothing but an open can of beans and a water bottle.
Sure it was a crappy situation, but do you have any idea how i felt when i finally crawled my way to the city and got my leg fixed? I felt invincible :D

This is what i love about this game, its so unforgiving, but when you finally "succed" its the greatest feeling in the gaming world imo. No other game can do that.

 

So i say, just leave it the way its always been in DayZ, its part of the game and it should not get removed, just because some people do it.

Exactly like force feeding people rotten fruit has a place in the game aswell.

If you find yourself being robbed, you made a mistake and you are gonna have to deal with it, hopefully learn something from it :)

 

EDIT:
Forgot to add, im always playing the "loner carebear", i dont kill players, i dont rob people and i dont really go near other players at all.
I use most of my time observing others behavior, which is very fun in my world :)

I'm talking on the coast. to newspawns or unarmed players or just doing it to be a douche bag.ugh

I'm just messing with you. (But I will break those legs)

I'm a fan of having improvised splints be much easier to craft in game. Until then, I agree that breaking legs is a PITA - but to be honest, most encounters result in being KOS anyway. Never survived a robbery in over 200 hrs of gameplay - resulting in me never giving up without some lead exchange, regardless of the odds post 200 hrs...

but most new player don't even know the controls let alone where to find morphine and finding a stick sometimes is next to impossible. so lets say you crawl 2 hours to elektro and the hospital is empty and there are no sticks really that the game bullshit no ones going to put up with that man they are going to quit or some shit. not everyone is as hardcore as you. and i do understand what your sayin i do the same shit i never give up. but like i said earlier everyone has there opinion on it and i'll still heal people legs or shoot them when i see them crawling unless they want to i'll leave it to them but i'll be there Kevorkian if they want

completely understandable sir. i try to do banditry like they did in the old days just rob and have an experience. like an old highway man or something. and i understand breaking a bandits legs sir a tip of the hat to you sir.

[real meatshield 424]

I try to just kill em, but if i break their legs and they start crawling, i leave em. and if I have the opportunity to bandage them, i will. why? because I like it that way.

 

crawl, motherfucker.

[gannon46 788]

sorry about my writing I've had a lot of caffeine and my brain is processing information before my hands sorry fellas

[makomachine 263]

crawl, motherfucker.

This is the guy I've met. Handcuffs and broken legs - with his gear sitting beside him is the way I treat him. Hoping they implement lynching in a future update... :)

your the cat I'm talking about thanks for showing up wheres your friends. now lets say the shoe was on the other foot and lets be real. i just shot you in the legs disarmed you and bandaged you up. now whats your next move.

[Baklavah 12]

Well, gannon46, at least you sound like a decent bandit. The other bandits should learn from your example. I'm getting sick of their bullshit too. I've been robbed, KoSed, KoSed to be robbed, tortured and force fed things that poison you... and I'm quite tired of it. Bandits used to be rather honourable, but now they're just a bunch of douchebags who get their jollies from pissing people off and forcing the community to dwindle because they think it makes them tough.

 

Of course, I'm generalizing. If I were to rob someone, I take what I need, rather than everything they've got. And that I rob anyone is exceedingly rare. Usually I just track groups with my squad and we see what happens... if they KoS a bunch of bambis we smoke em. I have zero tolerance for that kind of crap. Fresh spawns have nothing of value, and hence are not worth KoSing. That bandits even do that sickens me, and I make it my job to put those douchebags down without a second thought.

 

I don't think I'd mind getting robbed by you though, gannon46. At least you'd let me go. But to KoS CoD Kiddie bandits, if you're in my scope, I will kill you without hesitation. Mark my words.

I anticipate, and expect no less. Do unto others before they can do unto you.

[gannon46 788]

well if you handcuff they can respawn so the player is choosing to go through the experience at that point.so i can't comment.

[real meatshield 424]

They are likely nearby in the woods. Watch your ass. 

 

If they are not around to save me, looks like I am in for a long crawl to the beach to drown, or to the nearest zombie to beat me to death while I afk for a piss and a smoke.

So?

We all started somewhere, without a toturial, without any guide to "hold your hand", thats the nature of this game mate.

You have to understand that the people who doesnt want to crawl for an hour to save they're lives, are better off not playing the game, because they will most likely complain about 50% of all the other mechanics aswell.

So if people quit the game because they break they're leg and dont want to crawl, to save they're life, i dont really care about them, they can go play BF, COD or what ever else "child friendly" game theres on the market, while the rest of us enjoy DayZ as its ment to be.

 

What you are trying to do right now, is dumb the game down, and i really dont like it.

It has to be brutal, it has to be unforgiving, otherwise it will attract to many children and we will end up with "yet another zombie shooter", which isnt the "vision" behind DayZ :)

Sorry if im being abit rough, but i feel strongly against any kind of dumbing down of game mechanics.

I think it's okay with the amount of medics we have available and waiting to help people in these exact situations.

 

I would think the bugs that break you legs would be more annoying.  Also, it would be nice if you have the right tools to be able to go into a forest and make some sticks.

If they cant handle a game mechanic, then tough luck for them.

i don't want a dumbed down game either but i want players, i want full servers instead of like a few full ones.hell this game is not that brutal right now except for this crap. and the issue i have is that there is no way to fix the broken leg there are trees EVERYWHERE yet you can not make a splint ,morphine is pretty uncommon unless your like me and steal it. But if your going to put something like breaking a guys legs with a bullet in the game then they need to implement a better way to get sticks.then i'll shut up about the issue because theres a cause and a cure. If they wanted to make it tough they need to hurry and add disease and cut food in half and make ammo rare as hell and add more knives and thousands of zeds until then this game is not hard. this game has more to do with luck internet connection and cthullu.just an opinion but PZ is harder

[byrgesen 1341]

Well, when you dont make a "mainstream game", we wont have 10.000 full servers tbh.

But i understand what you are saying, i just dont want it to be easy at all.

 

Perhaps it should be easier to get a stick for your leg, but then again, it has to be a really thick stick in order to actually hold your leg in place.

I also dont think its easy at all to make a splint, from a tree, when you aleady have a broken leg, but i havent done it myseklf hehe. Just s hunch ;)

 

I also want to add, its confirmed we will get disease, loot will be balanced out once it respawns and they want thousands of zombies, so it will get alot harder then it is now.
Hell people on reddit is already complaining about the zombies lol, we will see alot of people bitch and whine in the next 6-12 months.

[gannon46 788]

hey most of you at least agree with the point that there needs to be a way to make splints from trees. i understand most people are assholes so i just suggested if you do break a guys legs(newspawn or newplayer) that you have respect i know its hard and finish the job or fix the leg.
