First experience: "I just say Hi"

[JackCengo 6]

Hi guys,

i want to show you how i get experience with my first humanity contact:

 

 

Later when i saw this video, i think it was funny :)

 

 

[doctajones 123]

DayZ's most common last words

 

"Hi."

[JackCengo 6]

jep i think next time if i see somebody i must shot first

[Tsek 2]

No need to shoot on sight unless you stumble across a guy with a gun who is looking straight at you. If you want to make friends, approach carefully and make sure you always have the advantage of surprise and positioning.

[King Raptor 191]

Haha.

Whenever you stand still and you think you're being all harmless and innocent, that's just more time you give someone to zero in on your head.

 

What did you use to record the video btw? Seems pretty responsive.

Listen up kos'ers, this guy gets it.

So far I've had nothing but friendly experiences. I avoid hi pop servers like the plague, and also avoid the hotzones. When I see the red chain I go on high alert, try and spot them before they spot me (this is especially important to determine if they are alone or with friends), and choose advantageous place for first contact, And my first words are "friendly", not "hi". Always try and have the upper hand. I like to approach while people are in a building looking for loot. I say I'm friendly and try to get them talking, ask if they need food, water, or med supplies. They know I'm outside but not exactly where, and that I have the drop on them. But because I have chosen to talk and not pump them full of lead as they walk out the door it seems to have gone well so far. If they don't talk I either beat a retreat or waste them, and tell them why I'm killing them (use your mic!). But I'm sure I have been living a charmed life so far and it's only a matter of time till someone roleplaying a psychopath blows my head off.

That's why I don't go to Berezino on anything above 6 players because there are always someone wanting to prove their "Survival" skills are best by shooting anything that moves...

[Dawgstyl 51]

No more Red chain in the next patch, you have to keep your eyes and ears open.. (already on exp 47.xxxxx)

This is great to hear, I actually hate the red chain. It destroys immersion.

What red chain? The connection error one???

[zyryx 14]

yes, right now a broken red chain pops up when another player is within 1000m (or so I've  heard, I'm probably wrong about this distance). I have heard this happens as the two players and the server sync with each other.

[Airfield 50]

I don't blame the killer. That would scare me half to death. Some random walking up the ladder and talking to you at dawn.

Wait, what? It only appears when you are close to another player?

[mercules 1290]

No, but it supposedly most often appears when a player first enters your "nitwerk bubbal".

[King Raptor 191]

That explains a LOT.

[zyryx 14]

Yeah it pops up for a few seconds. It's not an "always on" thing

[xenology 61]

Another milliont thread about this, why don't you just watch players before saying hi and avoid them?

Well glladly the red chain is soon to be a thing of the past. also avoiding high pop servers defeats the purpose of the game somehow imo. I get your point though at this stage in development where all thats happening is pvp. Im positive though this will change in the future just played a bit of experimental with a few guys we were like 6 people and we shot a few zeds in berezino because the melee is so strange since last patch we were literaly swarmed by zeds there were like 15-20 no joking though not all at once couldve ended badly if i wouldve been alone. if they realy put the Zed number up 5-10 times till launch people probably would think twice before "having some pvp action" for no good reason.

I was watching some people play experimental on twitch and yeah, zombies seem allot tougher. This is a great thing. it bugs the shit out of me that people can run around Berenzino popping off rounds and never attract a single zombie, much less 10 from every direction. Shooting should be the last option to deal with a situation because you don't want 30 zombies swarming you from every direction.

 

I am avoiding the high pop servers until I'm a little more comfortable with the game. learning to crawl before you run and all that. And untill I have some skilled freinds to play with I will also avoid the hotzones. I'm not terribly interested in PvP squad play anyway. Been there, done that.

Well the harder zed thing is due to a bug where you cant hit them properly with melee weapons didn't see that they changed anything.

It seem like there are allot more now. Where once there might be one not it seems there are three or four lurking about
