Senrain 148 Posted July 2, 2012 I started the game with a friendly outlook, trying to group up with survivors only to get killed on sight.Tried saluting, got shot.Tried lowering my gun, got shot.Tried talking over direct comms, got shot.Tried all three, got shot.Now I play in a fashion that I would compare to the Endermen in minecraft. Anyone who looks at me or gets too close is going to die. That is, if I wasn't hunting them in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gizm0 96 Posted July 2, 2012 Your mistake was hanging out in a grocery store. Get in' date=' get what you can thats there, get out. Lonewolf survival in DayZ is all about moving. Never stop. Anytime I walk into a grocery store and have seen someone, Ive popped them. A couple times Ihave heard people do what you do and claim they are friendly and entering and that just makes it eaiser to pop them. If you arent on the TS channel, you are dead. Simple as that. If you dont like how I play then either dont run into me or go here: http://www.barbie-games.net/games/a-kiss-in-a-hammock.html [/quote']So you just kill all other players who are not meta-gaming with you and have no chance of getting into your TS unless invited? sounds like you have no use for direct chat or even the social aspect of dayz.

Orphen (DayZ) 14 Posted July 2, 2012 If they don't answer, just pin them as hostile and take them out. You gave them a chance, nothing more you could do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepfried 95 Posted July 2, 2012 I cant stand playing this game now... Everyone just shoots on sight.. No Direct comm' date=' nothing... Where is the realism at? Simply walked into Grocery in berezino, announced my presence on Direct comm, said I was friendly... no word back, walked in quietly... 5 minutes later someone shoots me. This type of death has happened multiple times... A few times i've been completely unarmed... Ridiculous.[/quote']Yes, at the moment the game is essentially sandbox deathmatch. Rocket will probably introduce mechanics to address this in some way at some point, in the meantime I suggest you try and enjoy it for what it is... it may not be everything it can or should be, but even as a sandbox deathmatch game its still good fun.IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtaff 23 Posted July 2, 2012 Well, I tried to give people a chance before just opening up on them, now thats changed. Yesterday spawned in Electro, sneaking around trying to find some gear, hopped a fence, hopped another fence, just as a guy comes crashing into it trying to chop me with a hatchet. OK, I run. I look back and this ass is now chasing me with said hachet although he now has two zeds for company. I loop around him twice until he has to take care of the zeds who are chewing on him, I make my escape while he does.Now I'm leaving Electro with a lee enfield and a couple of supplies, running up the hill I swear I feel/see bullets smack into the ground around me. SNIPER!?!? Run around a tree to get cover, no more rounds coming in but I do see Mr. Hatchet trying to sneak up on me from about 20 meters away. So 3 shots later hes dead and I'm one murder to the good. Verrrry long story short, I'm tired of being attacked by bandits and dicks waving hatchets about, now I'm with a KOS group and that was the transformation from someone trying to do good, to someone who just gave in and wants to fight back.

LumberBack 43 Posted July 2, 2012 made a post about this some time ago, that this is going to turn into just another generic shooter if the bandit system isnt fixed... and now we have just that... havent played the game for a week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
