It's another to call someone an idiot. So far only you have given a reason to be labeled as one.You either do not understand how to read those stats, or are simply spinning false information. Survival attempts means people have died that many times. Murders are obviously people killing other people. If there have been over 10 million deaths, and only over 1 million murders.... it stands to reason that 10% of all deaths being murders means this is NOT in fact a deathmatch game.It would seem it is a zombie survival game.

Womb Raider 92 Posted July 7, 2012 Never had any problems with people shooting me on sight that weren't bandits. It really isn't hard to avoid being shot, if you see another survivor use direct chat to communicate with him if he is coming towards you say over direct chat I'm friendly buddy, but don't you come any closer, if he proceeds to ignore your warnings shoot him. I've seen plenty of people go WAAAAAAA I got shot in the back by a survivor I just met and he took my all gear. Why would you give a complete stranger the benefit of the doubt, I'd want him to go in front of me, so I had the advantage, it really isn't hard. I swear half the people that come on these forums are made of glass and shatter and break when the littlest amount of discomfort comes their way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syncmaster (DayZ) 63 Posted July 7, 2012 I'm sorry but you are a special kind of person if you really believe only 10% of legitimate deaths are from other players.

droznig 20 Posted July 7, 2012 If this is a deathmatch game just say so' date=' I could have saved my money and bought doom 3 or an unreal game...[/quote']For starters, DayZ as it is now is a completely free mod (for now) for a game called Arma 2, which is what you paid for, which is almost entirely a co-op military sim.Secondly, I've had loads of fun playing Day Z co op with my friends, most people without a good way to communicate will shoot you, but if you want to play co op in day z just go on the forums and find some buddies to play with, and there is plenty to do with friends too, like fixing up a helicopter, or a battlebus for example.Try a little harder, don't just expect every thing to fall in your lap the way you want it to.

Saying 10% of people die from bandits might be fair, but lets not act like that means 90% die from zombies. That can't even be close. It could easily be completely even, but with the way the stats read it will never show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemno 0 Posted July 7, 2012 I'd say with the more difficult zombies, start with practically nothing, and harder to find stuff it is so difficult as to not be fun even lonewolfing anymore. Was good but 1.7.1.x made it just kind of a pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ypsan 20 Posted July 7, 2012 Too much paranoia among players. Every single person I let live shot me in the back, that was before I became bandit and began KOS everyone. As bandit I survived much longer and it is the only viable way to play unless you have some rl friends you can trust. If I had friends playing dayz I wouldn't care about mod turning into a deathmatch.As the other guy said, the game is what we (the community) make of it and we made shit, especially around the coast.

justwrath 23 Posted July 7, 2012 Right' date=' to respond to that let me just say that in reality, if that's what this game is trying to achieve "realism", this is simply a "game" and nothing else, nomatter how you put it, nobody is ever going to think of it as anything else than just sitting behind a screen "safely" and just do what they see fit.As in all deathmatch games, it's all and always been about killing other players, possibly finding loot, this game just so happens to currently use the pavlovs drooling dog theory "FORCING" players to kill other players for their loot giving them the upper hand.In reality, evolutionarily, all bandits have effectively wiped themselves out since being a bandit is not an effective way to uphold the survival of a specie.Hence why we today "in real life" are living together effectively helping eachother out instead.If this mod is ever going to be realistic, this is what it should reflect and it needs to force it, otherwise it will never in it's lifetime be a "realistic" game but simply just a "death match game".I rest my case.[/quote']human history isn't all cherries and blueberries. we've always been dog eat dog as a species and continue to be. we just do things on the meta scale now.
