Real question about the community

Too late.

Damn

[qww 287]

maybe sometimes theyre just waiting for a friend, or they just got shot at, etc, theyre in danger somehow and just thinking of it as "defense", often you cant know why someone acting the way they are, in game.

having said that if someone does log in then just go and do that, intentionally, especially if its their daily play style , then they do have some kind of issues,

Seriously guys, if you're one of the kind of players im about to describe, please answer this.

 

What is the point of locking yourself in a 2 story building, and waiting for fresh spawns to run in so you can shoot them?

Is there a point to it? Do you gain anything? I really don't see it as a thrill, I'd consider it being on the same level as the group of people that ruined call of duty.

The same people you say ruined call of duty also made it one of the best selling games of all time, also if you dont have the smarts to scope out a building for bandits and avoid it then it is inevitabely your fualt.

 

Yes it is a douchebag thing to do but you don't have to be that newspawn going up there, you should do something that me and my friends do. Whenever we see someone in one of the neaf glitches we make it our goal to make sure that NO ONE enters that building under any circumstances and in doing so we deny the person inside that glitch any fun at all, we have had times where people have been sitting in the glitch for over an hour and because of us they have seen no one, great fun they have had doing nothing, we deny them the chance to be an asshole in the hopes that they will stop using the glitch as it is so broring while they are in there, a lot of times we will eventually get the asshole themselves as they move of due to boredom, that is the ultimate reward.

On the flip side, YOU'RE  probably geared and have nothing to gain by killing them, unless YOU'RE a flashlight enthusiast. 

I dont fucking do it m8, but im just saying its really easy to avoid! Visit any other town than those on the east coast and your survival rate goes through the roof. Or maybe your just unlucky that some shit went down in that building and any fresh spawn could be the reincarnation of the KOS'er you just heroically slayed.

Why are certain folk so adamant about defending douche baggery? You understand that doing certain things makes you an assh*le, right? People have the right to dislike assh*les and to come together as a community to hate assh*les together.

the point is that dayZ is supposed to be completely lawless and unscripted. and individual has as much right to be a total Dbag to all he meets as someone as a rigth to be firendly to everyone. you can hate thier playstyle if you want but the game shouldnt be changed to prevent people being playing a certain way.

[hefeweizen 254]

The same people you say ruined call of duty also made it one of the best selling games of all time.

This of those things where people look back a couple decades later and are like "Man... everyone in that era was a f*cking idiot."

Ever seen any building built in the 1970s? Stucco and drop tile ceilings as far as the eye can see. As far as I'm concerned everyone alive during that era must have suffered brain damage during Vietnam.

Okay, then why are you complaining about people pointing out said douche bag? Just because someone has the right to do something doesn't exclude them from criticism.

[liquidsnake 275]

I LOVE camping and killing anyone I see. Fresh spawn or not, you're dead and you'll never be able to get me. 

 

Why do I do it? So I can come on these forums and cherish the attention I so long for.

Fixed

I would have to disagree, the first call of duty's were a breath of fresh air in the gaming world when really its only competitior was medal of honor.

 

I think when you think of call of duty you think black ops 2 or ghostw and screaming children, well i don't, i think of call of duty modern warfare 2 and call of duty: world at war, these games were and still are brilliant games so no i wont look back and think everyone was a fucking idiot as i would be an idiot myself, i will think that anyone who bought into the franshise after black ops was a fucking idiot though as it was just the same bunch of spoiled 10 year old kids buying the same game over and over again and good, let them stay on those steaming piles of shit while we enjoy some real quality games.

Ehhh... When the market saturates with something god awful people who were into it early like to justify their liking something terrible by saying the early version was way better.

You know, people saying that a bad musicians first album was their only good one or the first movie in a terrible series "wasn't that bad" (Transformers).

CoD is bad, always was. The whole series is like a terrible old school rail shooter from a crappy arcade with the added bonus of WASD controls to give the illusion of control. But don't you dare walk outside the small designated area you're allowed to move around in, or try to get through a level without blowing up a big stupid set piece because CoD won't stand for you trying to think outside its basic formula. Honestly, really lowest common denominator stuff. Down the line people will look back on this era as the time when there were just too many damned FPSs and will no doubt make the connection to CoD.

I mean seriously, I've seen internal documents from Microsoft that say the chose "XBox One" as the name for their new system because that is exactly how many non-FPS games their planning to have on that system. Wanna play something besides FPSs? Well you damn well better be into indie PC games, or Nintendo cause otherwise you're SOL.

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how much in my opinion you are wrong. The market was not saturated with first person shooters when cod was first released, again your thinking of now not back then. How old are you just out of curiosity, i am 22.

[sloasdaylight 129]

Why are folk so obsessed with other players game styles ?

Because they have nothing better to do.

I didn't say the market was saturated with shooters when CoD plopped. I'm saying that because of how lowest common denominator CoD was (its a game where you shoot people in the face made for people who played nothing but Madden or FIFA beforehand, lets be honest.) it became one of the most popular games on the market. Seeing how popular this style of "Think inside the box" shooter was becoming, of course every stupid greedy studio wanted a slice of that pie. Now we have bad shooters falling out of our collective asses.

More and more people are getting wise to this situation, and eventually this type of shooter will become a cliche. Something that people know right from the get go is going to be terrible. Like video games based off movies were in the 90s, or bands that blended Hip Hop and metal in the early 2000s, or 3D movies, Retro Platformers, gritty Nolan-esque reboots or guys who wear Fedora hats are today.

I'm 27, by the way.

and you're on this forum because you have important business to conduct here, I assume?

Your own ass, climb out of it please.

[GanjaPalooza 35]

Why do you care? I am willing to bet my skill level in this game is greater than at least half of the players who posted, and I still do this occasionally.  Why? Because I am bored, maybe I want to play the game but don't have the ability to dedicate 110% into the game at the moment, maybe I am trying to smoke a bong bowl - which I cannot do unless I let my player sit in a building or on top of a roof.  Depending on what mood you catch me in will depict what happens to the bambi or armed player that runs by.  Give me more to do in the game and I will probably not get so bored on the late nights.

[Grimey Rick 3417]

One could ask, "What is the point of DayZ in its entirety?"

No missions. No quests. No achievements.

There is no correct way to play. Let the prepubescent pukes have their fun camping in buildings. It makes it all the more satisfying when they eat my ricocheted bullets while calling me a hacker.

[AfterShave 140]

Hey man, camping is hard work too.

You know how fucking long people have to wait even on 40/40 servers?

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

I can not sit in one position aiming down my sights for more then two damn minutes. I really don't know how these people pull it off.

You are questioning a matter of taste which doesn't make sense and won't really get you anywhere but to confrontation and trolling. It is like asking someone why they like Justin Bieber. Just because you don't like or approve of something, doesn't mean others shouldn't or wouldn't enjoy that same thing. Sure mocking people who do things you don't like may boost your ego, get you off and even may make you feel all mighty but at the end of the day it won't matter one bit and you'll be the one who looks like a fool.

 

And no, I don't like that style of gaming but to each his own.

[Pandema 352]

Because at this point there is nothing better to do, none of the survival aspects have been implemented yet.

 

So, to pass the time some of us indulge in murdering the innocent in violent and fun ways.

 

For example, I shot a coastal in the legs today. Dropped a splint on the ground 20m away. As he started to get close to it, I picked it up and walked off another 20m and dropped it again. This went on for 20 minutes or so before he tried to log out, at which point I shot him and stole his pants. Much more fun than running Military base to military base accruing ever larger stores of ammunition.

So basically you want someone to explain to you why thier playstyle is fun compared to yours? Really?

 

Wouldnt it be more boring if everyone had the same playstyle in the game?
