What has DayZ taught you?

[Jumbaliah 113]

So we've all learned a thing or two from our DayZ days and I thought it would be nice to share it with the community. Please avoid silly things such as "I've learned to shoot everyone and everything I see"

 

Okay so I'll go first! :3

A list of the few things I've learned:

  • Improved map-reading skills

  • Basics of the russian language

  • Some people only want what is best for themselves

  • Run away = Live to survive another day (wow that actually rhymed D:)

 

So that was that, feel free to share what you guys have learned from playing DayZ!

 

Edit: And I hope I posted this in the right section :s

 

Not to trust indie games anymore XD

Their transparency has made me totally immune to the Triple A hype machine.

In a real post-apocalyptic state everyone will kill eachother off because of KoS. Best to hunker down and hide for a bit while they knock eachother off.

dayz has taught me that 99% of people would be dead from their own stupidity within 2 days of a real zombie outbreak.

1. When the shit hits the fan, don't use roads.

2. People are heartless when the chips are down.

3. Shoot anyone with a pre-pubescent voice, they're likely racist XBOX Live CoD brats.

4. Never assume an interaction is over because you're both going separate ways, people lie, follow, hunt and kill despite being helped.

1 - Russian is f*cking weird (I still tilt my head whenever I see a 4 in a town name);

 

2 - Everyone hates you and/or wants whatever it is you're carrying, even if they have better stuff;

 

3 - The Universe is a sick, twisted bastard who wants to drink your tears;

 

4 - Mosin is King, and SKS is Queen;

 

5 - Payday masks are great indicators for danger;

 

6 - Fishing is exactly as boring as I thought it would be. Yummy fish, though;

 

7 - How to make circles on maps and say "DO NOT GO HERE" in bright red letters;

 

8 - Someone other than me thought it'd be funny to leave a note saying "I'm watching you" in the middle of the woods;

 

9 - You gon' die, regardless of effort otherwise

Hacking ruins everything

After every black screen with the words "You are Dead" lies a new adventure.

Its taught me that if your a lone wolf, only go into the NWAF if the server is absolutely devoid of any other players; otherwise, the guy is just gonna run right into the rax and shoot you before you can say friendly.

that it's mad playing a first person shooter when you realise that no one needs to die ever really..  At the ned of the day this game just reminds me of being in Belfast at a time, you might get shot but everyone you meet is generally really dead on.
