Siberian (DayZ) 527 Posted July 30, 2012 That won't last long First rule of dayz never get attached to your gear, have fun with that gun while it lasts.Also, that I won't shoot you thing won't last long either Shoot when you have a clear shot or you'll regret it.im aware it naturaly wont be long before my gun is gone due to death..(althou im trying to play really careful, only venturing into civi areas for basics as needed) im a RP player so i play like my life really depends on it..as far as shooting players that is something ill never do first.. just not a PVP player in any game other then pure FPS games (which i dont consider this game to be at all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyclonis 22 Posted July 30, 2012 as far as shooting players that is something ill never do first.. just not a PVP player in any game other then pure FPS games (which i dont consider this game to be at all)Let's see how long that attitude lasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amaROenuZ 144 Posted July 30, 2012 I'm currently debating shooting my own partner to be honest. He fired an unsilenced weapon in the middle of the airfield and I got ganked for his troubles.Sure, I picked up an AK-74 within 5 minutes of my spawning, but I'm going to miss that ALICE pack.

Siberian (DayZ) 527 Posted July 30, 2012 Let's see how long that attitude lasts.considering ive played most MMO's with PVP for as many years back as they go, and NEVER killed anyone, i'd bet on more of the same..in defense is another matter, im talking about "shoot first" PVP kills (usualy for no other reason then the target presents itself) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HMS 115 Posted July 31, 2012 Well Siberian I started reading this thread and just skipped to the end to see why it was so hot, since you claimed you were going to quit back on the 1st page.I am REALLY glad you stuck with it.I was about to suggest PM'ing me and see if we could hook up. I now keep a spare this or that with me in case I meet some fresh meat. I mean, I could have used a compass early on too. I had a hard time finding ANYTHING except empty cans. (SIDE NOTE: PUT A COINSTAR MACHINE IN THE GAME)I was killed early on by someone in a supermarket. I haven't needed to kill anyone except a trash-talking fool since then because I can avoid and distract like nobody's business.You and I probably have that in common. Taking a while to find a gun and exploring without maps makes you good at the sneaky stuff. You'll see. Welcome to the club! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thebigbeazy 0 Posted July 31, 2012 First time I played I crawled into my second town with nothing but chem lights when blam, head shot by a player. From now on if I see someone I shoot first, question my moral judgement later. Hope they like the chem lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woozaboo 5 Posted July 31, 2012 The Lee Enfield is one of my favourite guns in the game. But a tip for you,you do not want to use that gun inside a town, unless you plan on pvp. It is far to loud for zombie shooting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tricky- 30 Posted July 31, 2012 I'm currently debating shooting my own partner to be honest. He fired an unsilenced weapon in the middle of the airfield and I got ganked for his troubles.Sure, I picked up an AK-74 within 5 minutes of my spawning, but I'm going to miss that ALICE pack.Your friend had a silenced weapon, and you are going to miss your ALICE pack? Lol... they are more common then Czech packs which have LESS room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
