A Guide to having FUN

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

This guide isn't about surviving, it isn't about tactics, it is only about being silly and enjoying yourself.

 

NOTE: This guide will not help you if getting killed or losing your gear frustrates you.

 

I will list out a few simple steps on how to be as silly and crazy as possible in DayZ.

 

1. Find a server that is near-full. This guide to being silly and having tons of fun requires plenty of players.
2. Stick to the coast, and be as careless as possible. You may be shot a few times, even as a fresh spawn, but do not let this deter you. Mess with the people shooting at you, talk to them over voice, but don't show any anger. Try to make jokes, even if they are spraying at you as they circle you. BE SILLY.
3. Refrain from picking up guns. You can, but once you do, you appear super hostile, and getting immediately shot isn't fun when your life goal is to mess around.
4. Go to Elektro, Berenzino, or any other sort of hotspot.
5. Once there, shout on your voice comm while moving through the town, be as careless as possible, and meet players and see how they react.
6. Probably die.
7. Respawn.
8. Go back to Step 2.

...so what people normally do.

Sounds fun.

I find that doing that gives you the opposite ends of the spectrum at the same time, You either get shot straight away because you cannot retaliate or you get ignored completely because you pose no harm. But yup if you are out to talk to people having no gear definitely helps a lot.

This guide to being silly

• be as careless as possible... BE SILLY
• ...mess around.
• Go to Elektro...

I can safely say I've never done anything remotely resembling this.

Guide to boredom

I have the most fun hunting bandits in Electro as a newspawn, or boxing people in Solnichniy. Sometimes I actually want to die so I can go back to the coast again.

Isn't that how you're supposed to play it?

Please don't. I really don't care about post count. It doesn't mean anything to me.

[SoundWave (DayZ) 1]

Great idea will try this tonight. 

 

Might also help me find some players who will help for a change.

I don't see how you're having any fun then, I've tried the whole super-north-super-serious-super-survival stuff and it gets boring after a while, it is a lot more fun to take risks and play carelessly. :P

Well that post wasn't quite true. I've gone to Elektro, died and respawned... but I've never been silly, deliberately careless, cracked jokes, refrained from picking up guns or shouted on voice comm.

 

I suppose "no pants in Elektro" just isn't my cup of tea.

Not cracking jokes or being serious can cost you your life.

 

People ar eless likely to shoot someone lighthearted then they are someone who isn't fun to talk to. :|

My luck when I try exactly this, no one is at Elektro.. Unbelievable right?! Talked with a newspawn, whom claimed he was killed during a massive multiple-clan clan match over at NWAF.... 

 

 

My luck...

 

(Yes, I have found that if one takes the time to talk to another player while not scaring the shit out of them, people are very nice)

This is basically a guide on how to be a troll, instead of mic spamming I guess. Something else you could try is run around playing this;

 

And actually see how many people would start following you.

 

Trust me, this is a way towards succes and making friends. I managed to have a friend of mine close by as I had a train of over 8 people following me playing this song, heading into the fire station where my mate killed everyone and we took all their gear.
