cywehner1234 582 Posted August 2, 2014 I played yesterday and I was playing with nobody, so I always came off as friendly. I can across 5-10 friendly guys, at seperate times. None of them shot me, we grouped up, some of us split paths. I feel like the more difficult zombies are, the more cooperation there is going to be within the player base. That being said, we need to increase the numbers! But seriously, I do think there has been a spike in friendlies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted August 2, 2014 While sitting in the upper portion of one of the green houses, I was reading a book waiting for the rain to pass. Guy in motorcycle helmet comes in, and sees me sitting holding a book. I type "Hey" You are dead. It really depends. People are usually more friendly on hardcore servers, but there's no guarantee there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) I just don't see folks that often to even tell whether their behavior has changed... Nobody's ever in the north or western border of the map, even though that's where all the good stuff is. And, it's where I am 99% of the time. And everyone's shut in on 6/40 player servers. But that's just as much my fault as anyone's, I play alone. Got my first kill in a month or so at NWAF yesterday, fun times!

leviathanapsu 94 Posted August 3, 2014 I haven't noticed greater friendliness. What I have noticed is lowered hostility. Not the same thing. With the new zombie situation, people seem more willing to ignore you instead of shoot. First, shooting you attracts the horde. Second, if you run around, the horde follows you and not them. Third, you might take out a number of zombies and clear a temporary path for them. Most of the people who still have the KoS attitude are also constantly plagued with zombies in the towns so either die, run out of ammo or are logging off to wait for the next patch. Just a guess though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sirwarriant12 94 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) When the hordes are in im just gonna sit in the trees overlooking towns and laugh as KoS turds get chased down by hundred of teh zembies. But for me people have been friendlier as of late, still met a few assholes as well though. Mainly people with motorcycle helmets, never trust people with motorcycle helmets.

Mainly people with motorcycle helmets, never trust people with motorcycle helmets.I almost always wear one, but that is because I often crouch to shoot and zombies one hit kill you crouching if you haven't got one on. Personally, my bad luck has been with clown masks. Anyone in one of those has always shot without a word and not given up until one of us is dead. Clown mask = deathmatch.

Funkmaster Rick 373 Posted August 3, 2014 A few days back, some dude heard me walking around on Rify. He said "Hello?" in direct voice instead of sneaking up on me to try to Mike Tyson my ass. We swapped complaints about FPS issues and optimization advice, as well as a few comments about the new additions. I didn't even feel compelled to shoot him, either for fun or for my own safety. We just chatted, friended on Steam, were chill to each other. It was fuckin' weird. I don't think that represents a trend towards friendliness yet. What I have noticed is that almost nobody goes to NWAF on full servers because they're cowards. They expect someone's there, and they've probably got two or three friends with them watching through scopes. While a long-wolf player can get away with looting most cities simply because of the ability to hide and break sight-lines, this is obviously a significantly harder prospect at the airfield. Sure, trees and stone fences, but it's not nearly the same. All the good PvP now takes place in the Berezino-Svetlojarsk-Novodimitrovsk triangle. The old NWAF-Stary Sobor-Vybor triangle is less populous than it used to be. The Zelenogrosk-Green Mount-Rogovo line seems less hot than it used to be in the mod. I'd imagine the Elektrozavodsk-Chernogorsk-Balota run is still a newbie hotzone, especially with Cherno's new residential neighbourhoods, but it's been so long since I was tempted to go down there that I don't even know if people still use Sniper Hill to shoot bambis. Of course, this doesn't stop manly men from striding where they please, so if you're looking to fully kit your gun in pristine gear and grab all the 6-slot camo clothes, NWAF is still your goal (and don't forget to hit up Zelenogorsk and the Pavlovo/Veresnik milzones on your way). If you're already kitted or can settle for less pristine gear, head to the Northeast for fun times. But no, I'm not really noticing more friendly players. Though it's possible some of the old vets are taking breaks, allowing newer players who haven't had their trust slowly whittled away to run around trying to hug trees and shit.

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted August 3, 2014 I hope not. I sure as fuck don't play games with assault rifles, the ability to force-feed others disinfectant, handcuffs and burlap sacks to make friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helix2000 128 Posted August 3, 2014 noticing a slow move towards friendlyness. yesterday, i met 5 consecutive friendlies. the most impressive was when i was in the NWAF ATC and on the verge of logging out because of the LMB bug. this guy came along, shot all eight zombies that where chasing me, gave me some food and said he would guard my body while i l re logged. in any case, i logged on to the same server, the guy was gone, and i was alive. faith in DayZ humanity restored...

akpe 36 Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) Really depends. We just met two guys in Berezino who, after we killed all five zombies chasing them, proceeded to shoot my buddy in the face while he was bandaging. Killed both of them, thanks for the LRS guys ;) P.S: If you really wanna play as a "bandit" (KoSer) and you decide to attack a group of two, remember three things: - always kill the armed one first, - always keep line of sight with the second player - lose the LRS, it sucks in close range combat Edited August 3, 2014 by akpe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
