Karmaterror 982 Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) If you want him to play you have two options.... 1. Buy him the game yourself then lay on the guilt. That option isn't so good though because he will always feel as though he was forced to play. Your best option is number 2.... 2. You have to find a way to sell it to him, do it through videos, screenshots and stories. Screenshots are probably the best way to sell dayz, as it looks awesome. Vids may show too much of the clunkyness and put some off. Some quick sales tips.... Excitement, you always have to be enthusiastic about what you are trying to sell. Sheep Factor, This is basically like saying "mrs robberts who lives on your street has already swapped energy provider to us" the person then thinks there astute friend cant be wrong, so they do the same. Do you have any shared steam friends who own dayz? Fear of loss, This in most cases would refer to a limited time offer, in this case the alpha. Sell him on the fact its currently at a reduced price and now would be the time to buy in, Edited April 5, 2014 by Karmaterror Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z0mbi3jesus 4 Posted April 5, 2014 Guys I know my friend is a loser noob but I want ppl to play with so could you plz help with my problem instead of telling how much my friend sucksThere are 1.7+million players in DayZ. You can make friends. You may get handcuffed and force fed some sh*t first, but you will find like minded people....www.dayzsingles.com? = D But on a real note, "you can lead a horse..." blah blah blah, but the community here is large enough that you DON'T have to play alone.

anothercynicalbrit 166 Posted April 5, 2014 Ummm no.. he said he wants to get him to buy it remember. I showed DayZ SA to my friend a few weeks ago. This is how it went.... Check out this game manOkSo what do you do?You run around and try to find lootThen what?Umm nothing,This sucksWell then your friend does not like playing early alpha's and i don't blame him. He obviously has no interest in the testing and development of the game so he should not buy the game at all. This game at it's current state is not for your friend, lying to him would be the only way to get him to buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AryanBoogeyman 185 Posted April 5, 2014 I just encouraged a friend (who was a long time mod player) to put off his purchase as the alpha is still just too much of a mess to advertise IMO. I wouldn't recommend it right now - especially to a new player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UNDERWORLD 76 Posted April 5, 2014 He said noobs play this game Btw he just said you all are stupid and have bad vocabulary Yeah, from the sounds of it he's not the sort of player we want. Sounds like one of those kids who runs around yelling swear words at people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSTEEZYSNAKE 1 Posted April 5, 2014 If he says noobs play this game when arma and dayz (based of arma) are one of the most realistic combat sims out there then he obviously has no clue what he is talking about and probably thinks battlefield is for pro's. I don't think the game is for him but i think the best way to get him to buy it would be to find an immersive youtube video (you find the right video) that shows off exactly how tense the game can be when getting fired at and when injured and see if he likes the look of it.Frankie or Maniac are a good places to start, then use the Vector bunny Morgan freeman videos to bring him in.

pacific_coast 632 Posted April 5, 2014 SERIOUSLY DON'T DO THIS. THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER WAYS TO SPEND 30$ USD ON STEAM GAMES. WAIT. JUST WAIT. YOUR FRIEND IS SMARTER THAN YOU FOR HOLDING OUT.YOU'RE ALREADY BORED AND HE ISN'T OUT 30$ YET. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctorbadsign 645 Posted April 5, 2014 Ummm no.. he said he wants to get him to buy it remember. I showed DayZ SA to my friend a few weeks ago. This is how it went.... Check out this game manOkSo what do you do?You run around and try to find lootThen what?Umm nothing,This sucks Pretty accurate tbh. I don't see why anyone without a vested interest would see DayZ as anything other than a bit boring and rubbish at this stage in development Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
