Actually DayZ has a ingame Difficulty selector

Recommended Posts

No problem mate, you play as you want.

That's not the subject, please discuss about this on a related thread.

It is relevant, as you state the fact people kill eachother to be part of your "difficulty settings" ...

But meh, will leave you alone, not here to fight.

@P5ykoOHD: Sometimes I choose the easy way too and prefer shoot first if a player is a threat on my road. Nothing is static in DayZ.

I don't understand the purpose of this thread then. I thought you were here to tell us how to be good at the game.

After one month of gaming, I just understood one thing : You can choose your own difficulty level via your gameplay style.

True.

If you define difficulty as how difficult it will be to stay alive when encountering another player. Then it pretty much goes like you listed.

- Alt+F4 guys rarely die. See someone threatening? Just hit the buttons and disappear.

- Bandits have it quite easy, just aim for the head and pull the trigger. All done. You are alive, the other guy isn't. You even got some phat lewt without having to scavenge.

- Survivors are in quite deep shit. Can't just shoot the guy for no reason. And when he gives the reason, you might already be dead or at least bleeding badly.

- The guys trying to help others.. Just good luck with that. Make a misjudgement and help the wrong guy, end up with a mag worth of bullets at the back of your head. Even if you judged the guy correctly, and he's a truly friendly noob... The noob will slow you down, dumb your actions down, affect your concentration to environment, and outright do stupid stuff that reveals your position to every bandit around.

So yeah, it is a difficulty selection for the encounters.

If you speak about difficulty in terms of total survival time, then things might be different.. In that case, doing banditry at coastal cities/NWA can be challenging compared to just living at some small town and getting bored there.

Good argument there. Wow.

No seriously what the fuck are you doing? Are you telling me how to play or not? Because first you tells us how to be good at the game. Then you tell us that we can play any way we want. And now you're telling me to play another game, which is implying that dayz isn't for me. So again, what are you doing here, what's the purpose of this thread? Have you ran out of arguments and realized how stupid this is?

@SillySil Yeah for sure! When you buy a game, the note behind the cover tell you : PLAY THE HARD DIFFICULTY OR DIE. Didn't you noticed ?

Everyone are not able to play games in the harder way, and maybe you're one of them. But, one more time, that's not a problem! Stop trolling!

This thread is just a statement, if you don't like it, say it & ALT+F4. Cya!

@Aras Thinx for your contribution.

Calling this a "Difficulty Selector is improper. Having a diffculty setting changes technical ingame aspects of said game. Harder enemies, less ammo, etc. Not what you're describing. What one person calls something difficult may be easy for someone else. Labelling human interactions like "hard, medium, easy" is impossible. Everyone's interactions are different and their skill levels in said interactions are different as well. Having a difficulty setting ingame should be absolute in changing certain aspects of a game that are going to stay that way.

Now what you said certaintly can be a descriptor of the STYLE of gameplay (Just remove the names that you put inside the brackets "Bandit, pussy, etc." and put those instead of the "easy, medium, hard" and that would work.

What? What are you talking about? Where did you get that "play hard difficulty or die" from?

You made a thread telling people what playstyles are good are what is for noobs and playing the game on easy mode. It's not me saying that, it's you. You're the one coming here telling people how to play the game "right" (by your subjective standards btw). You're basically saying "play that way or you are bad at this game cause you're playing the easy mode". That's your opinion. And just an opinion. Who the hell are you to set difficulty modes for this game?

Everyone are not able to play games in the harder way, and maybe you're one of them. But, one more time, that's not a problem!

Again with the elitism. You just basically said that I'm bad at the game cause I'm playing the easy mode.

Stop trolling!

Oh hey I didn't see that one in a while. Someone doesn't agree with me, he's trolling. Tool.

This thread is just a statement, if you don't like it, say it & ALT+F4. Cya!

I just said it. But I'm not leaving since you are in no position to tell me what to do.

Wow reading more than 5 sentences is too much for you. How old are you?

And you came here telling people how to play on hard and easy mode. By logic, those who play on hard are better than those who play on easy. Again by logic those who are playing on easy are worse at the game than those who are playing on hard. It's there in your posts. You don't have to word it out like that for it to have the same message.

@SillySil Nope. At the moment the "end game" objective of DayZ is to survive.

There are ways easier than others and some are harder, no matter what you think and what you say.

Technically you can survive with only beans and Pepsi, without weapons...

@Albatros reflection is a sign of intelligence. Obviously you don't even try...

There is absolutely no objective in dayz other than staying alive. People make their own objectives. And usually after getting equipped, the made up objective is to kill people (solo or in a gang) because there isn't much else to do.

And yeah there are easy ways of surviving and there are hard ones. But why put yourself at a disadvantage. The thread would be in the same exact manner if you came here and said that military loot is for those who want to play the game in easy mode and that those who want to play it on hard use only einfields, and that it's not for everyone.

@SillySil Dude, you repeat after me ...

This is not a disadvantage, you don't know, may a survivor can help you too one day. One of the most interesting aspect of this game (except surviving) is the social and interaction with others players.

You can fear & avoid them too if you want, and live in a barn for the rest of your life!

What? You said surviving is the end-game. It's not. There is just "don't die". Read my post again instead of answering based on the first sentence because 5 sentences is too much for you to read at the same time.

End game is shooting people with the high-end gear. And that's the objective people made up because this game has no end-game.

This is not a disadvantage,

I'm letting people live. People have guns and they shoot everything that's not a part of their group. If they see me they will shoot me. I am putting myself at a disadvantage.

you don't know, may a survivor can help you too one day. One of the most interesting aspect of this game (except surviving) is the social and interaction with others players.

I've never ever met a friendly in this game and I've been playing for some time. The "most interesting aspect of this game and the social and interaction with other players" consists mostly of snipers shooting everyone and not even looting.

You can fear & avoid them too if you want, and live in a barn for the rest of your life!

Stop making things up. I'm the one shooting people.
