Depletion 0 Posted October 11, 2014 I have a dream that one day you can trust some in the world of DayZ. I dream that when someones tells you they are friendly, they mean it! Seriously though. I just ran around with 2 people for 45 minutes helping them kill zeds find food, water, and gear and the moment they get their hands on a gun... BOOM right to the back...

BOOM right to the back...It is because there is both little incentive to team up, and little in the way of "punishment" for dicking over other people. IRL, if you grouped up in a survival situation, almost everything would be much easier. Division of labor and all that. Also, IRL, if you went around killing everyone you met, you would very shortly find yourself hanging from the most accessible lightpost or tree, courtesy of a lynch mob. That, or people would refuse to trade with you, a death sentence when all the loot sites are stripped bare by the clans that actually work together. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmpaLompa 5 Posted October 11, 2014 I know the feeling man, stick to only trusting people you know outside of the game, aside from unusual circumstances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grindstone50k 208 Posted October 11, 2014 I don't trust people IRL. Why would I trust a random stranger on the Internet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted October 11, 2014 Ok, so what? Welcome to DayZ. People will shoot you in the back, they will ride with you until you become a pain that they can easily get rid of with a single round. It'll (probably) always be this way. Loot will always spawn, lots of people will just stick with their skype / TS3 buddies, and not many groups will be natural. Most will be artificial, made before even spawning into the game. Why? Because its a video game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted October 11, 2014 This is part of what makes DayZ great. ... come run with me, I can guarantee I won't shoot you, but I can guarantee we'll run into someone who will. Know your friends... well. Randoms who hang with you for 20 minutes or more are usually safe but always be on your guard. The apocalypse has many victims, don't be a statistic! If you can find a way to not be a statistic while surviving without killing others, well, you're doing something very right and kudos to you. In the mean time, always watch your six. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chompster 171 Posted October 11, 2014 Hopefully when they start cranking up the number of infected and make certain supplies a bit more rare people will be less incline to shoot as it would draw a lot of unwanted attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just ran around with 2 people for 45 minutes helping them kill zeds find food, water, and gear and the moment they get their hands on a gun... BOOM right to the back...Rule number 1 when teaming with a stranger:TALK. Get to know him/her. You will find out a lot about them. If it sounds sincere, then great! Share food, share items. You will connect and keep playing.If you see they are dodgy or full of crap or 10 years old, just say goodbye and leave.My statatistic is roughly 1 death per 10 encounters. I always roam around NW part of the map. Made some friends, have some great stories to tell. Deaths I forget, those were asshat people anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxTheSurvivor 152 Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) To the OP. Your topic remembers me another one about "KoS, how to approach other players", or something like that. And i ll give you the same advice as I did in the other topic: Do not group with players if your gear is way better/worse than theirs. If you meet bambies and they see you re friendly and they died in an epic fight 5 minutes ago in Elektro, you re a gift from the heavens, a thanksgiving day turkey. You just spare them the hassle to look for gear. That AK101 you have is just what they re looking for. Edited October 11, 2014 by MaxTheSurvivor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom, and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered, and the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters. But in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. Only this: This you can trust." Edited October 11, 2014 by AshleyP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the only way we can get that goal you said (which i would love dayz to get to) is if they add private shards, and communities that get built on them. You'll have the notorious "blood mist" sniper of Electro, who instills fear over the city, the slave traders of Zelenogorsk, who have the city walled up and take unsuspecting people hostage and trade them for supplies, Vince the vehicle trader who travels around with his caravan of folks to trade parts and finished vehicles. You'd be able to make a story out of what you do, and that (above) is just a glimpse of what could be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
