Starting my DayZ

[ToY SoLDiER (DayZ) 31]

Sorry I've been watching many video's on this mod and it looks awesome so today I brought it. Now I am stuck at what to do when it comes to meeting new people (ingame) should I just kill them straight away or maybe give them a chance? I do not want to die all the time :P

So shoot first then ask questions or the other way around?

You may play in whatever way you deem appropriate.

[Asasaint 10]

indeed, it is how you choose what you will or will not do

try to give them a chance, but if you get shot too many times: change your behavior maybe in avoiding other players ;)

If someone creeps up on you, comes at you from behind, doesn't announce themselves before coming near you, has a gun pointed at you, is holding an axe and walking towards you... either run away, or kill them. It's not worth the risk.

Real friendlies (like me!) will usually announce themselves via in-game voice chat or on the text chat. I personally wont come near your character unless you respond as friendly too and want to trade items or team up.

It comes down to trust too - would you put your life in the hands of someone you don't know just because they say "Hi I won't kill you, promise!". It can be a tough world out there.

EDIT: My in-game name is "GeeksterDayZ" like it is here, if you see me I'm usually with a group of 3-5 people, we don't randomly kill and have teamed up with lots of other stray solo players over the last week. I personally am happy to team up with newbies to help show you guys the ropes if you find me :)

I will defiantly look out for you then, I am hoping to go the "friendly" way and go as a team not on my own.

maybe you should search a group in the forum to form a team over teamspeak/skype and play together then ;)
