Falcrist 119 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) …is a trustworthy friend.Everything else is temporary.Forget M107s, Range Finders, Ghillie Suits, and M9 SDs. Those things will be lost to bugs, rollbacks, and deaths.If you don't have a friend to watch your back, you'll be at a serious disadvantage until you find one.

Falcrist 119 Posted July 16, 2012 Better yet is finding another player and actually not shooting each other and profiting from teamplayIf he doesn't shoot you in the back…The player you knew from other games and can TRUST is the ideal option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kellanved 5 Posted July 16, 2012 Even that dosen't always work, my friend (known him IRL for 10 years) accidentally axe'd me in the face yesterday! That's like 'accidentally' cutting off your head whilst shaving. He was trying to give me blood and instead of using middle mouse, used left mouse and THWOCK, respawn at Electro :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falcrist 119 Posted July 17, 2012 Speaking of trustworthy friends. I just lost some.Looking for a new group of players, cause my old BF3 buddies are suddenly really shady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sumdum 29 Posted July 17, 2012 Ain't that the truth. I've been contemplating buying ArmA 2 copies for everyone I know while its on sale lol And then this damn hacking spree starts >:( Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to actually enjoy this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebluehusky@bigpond.com 27 Posted July 17, 2012 Speaking of trustworthy friends. I just lost some.Looking for a new group of players, cause my old BF3 buddies are suddenly really shady.You ain't from my group, are you? In the one adventure, one guy was shot because he didn't pipe up to the query 'is everyone prone' quick enough, so got shot by someone else in our group.. then I shoot another friendly in the back as he was going to check out a guy who had a Z train with him.. didn't know he had stood up.. not my fault! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z-layrex 175 Posted July 17, 2012 Yep, something which I severely lack in this game. I have very close gaming friends, but they're all from Xbox Live and not one has a PC built for games.It's a lonely hard life trying to survive alone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kosh 5 Posted July 17, 2012 One of the first things we taught our new friend in the game is using middle mouse to CLICK those options too, NOT use left mouse button! He put a revolver round into the wall right beside my buddy's head because he was left clicking the mousewheel options lol.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that the guy who was showing me the ropes was accused of theft, and ostracised by two separate groups (which had previously broken off from each other).

cucu (DayZ) 8 Posted July 17, 2012 given that at the moment not the zombies are the biggest threat, for me the most valuable thing is a good sniper rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
okami (DayZ) 129 Posted July 17, 2012 given that at the moment not the zombies are the biggest threat, for me the most valuable thing is a good sniper rifle.Everyone you can take out with a sniper rifle is not a thread but a victim, no matter how well equipped and potentually dangerous he is. If you want to kill that way fine, its part of the game. But dont talk about threats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cucu (DayZ) 8 Posted July 17, 2012 yes they are. There is always a chance that they will get close enough to spot you and kill you. Plus they may have food or supplies.Everything counts for increasing my survival odds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leadership 0 Posted July 17, 2012 I got 6 of my mates at school to start playing with me, it makes the game so much more interesting. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcrist 119 Posted July 18, 2012 I got 6 of my mates at school to start playing with me, it makes the game so much more interesting. :)Cooperative play is far more satisfying than solo. It's especially satisfying because it's basically squad deathmatch in a sandbox where you choose your own missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackcrow 129 Posted July 18, 2012 Speaking of trustworthy friends.

Falcrist 119 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) actually the most valuable thing in the game is mountain dewIf I knew I could trade 1000 mountain dews for one good friend to watch my back faithfully, I would look for nothing else. It doesn't even matter that I already have some. You cannot have enough people.Im total noobsauce and will be jumping in for the first time after work today. Im definitely be up for grouping up, after I learn the ropes of course.To be fair, I do think everyone should spend their first night alone (maybe on vent with some friends), if for no other reason than to learn how true my statement really is.

Dr. Cocks 5 Posted July 19, 2012 If I knew I could trade 1000 mountain dews for one good friend to watch my back faithfully, I would look for nothing else.Beautiful. I would help you out if you added me on steam. I'm a bit new but I'm packing some serious heat that I'd be willing to share. I've honestly never seen another person in DayZ. I'm super careful about that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
