DayZ lost its fun when it became deathmatch.

[MperorM 8]

I don't get why people still like this game... DayZ was one of my fave games because of the interaction between the players. Shall I shoot him? Is he friendly? that was fun as hell. Now I might as well play every other shooter because everyone shoots the second they see you. I shoot everyone I see because I have no choice.

Why do you still find this game fun? it's just a very slow shooter...

[nicraM 137]

That is not true, about half the population of DayZ are still under the notion that it isn't a "dog eat dog" world.

I am sure you will find a friend, eventually.

I am rooting for you.

No it isn't. If you feel that way then I feel sorry for you.

I've met many people in Day Z, this time me and a buddy of mine met like seven unarmed people all together in the church in Cherno and we stuck with them and made friends with them and they invited us to their TS. But do you know what we did, we made sure we had the advantage over them so if one of them decided to pull out a gun or do any hostile behavior we could of killed them all.

There are times in this game where I do wonder what it would be like if I were nice to players, made friends and spared those that enter my crosshairs. However, posts like this remind me that it's so much fucking fun.

For every person you don't kill, I'm going to kill three.

The main reason we kill on sight is because people cause problems. Unless they are your friends and or you're in a VOIP chat with them they are just walking problems with free stuff on them.

I tried being a nice guy. It does not work. Me and my group have a creed.

Be polite.

Be efficient.

And have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

This.

I find alot of friends. But then I kill them. Just don't kill them then you have what you want.

last time I met someone friendly was a month ago...

Well, today I heard zombies aggroing when I was in the residental buildings near the hospital in Cherno. Then I saw a guy running with an ALICE pack, so I started pursuing him. Then I shot him for that, appears he just ran into the hospital that was looted, since he didn't have any weapons on him. I also found the bodies of the group that got the hospital. Loaded with morphine and blood bags. Ditched the blood bags and took 4 morphines. The guy I shot didn't look like he was trying to make friends either...

Well, I don't think that the DayZ "alpha experiement" is a deathmatch game. I for one have not killed everyone I have come across. Nor have I attempted it. I have killed to players so far. Tried to kill one other. And let I don't know how many go by unmolested. I have been killed by players a half a dozen times at most. The odds are I was seen more times than that and also let go unmolested...but that's just a logical guess.

I have said this before...and apparently it bares repeating...I would expected that in a world without rule of law, that you would be one of four kinds of folks: The mob that rapes, kills, eats, trashes everything it sees and moves on like a swarm of locust. An organized group that efficiently moves through dangerous areas and only kills what it has to, making sure to only do so when having the advantage. The Lone Wolf who only engages out of self defense or form such range as he can do so safely. And the dead. Period. People incapable of decerning the reality of their situationa and changing their ideology accordling will die. And more than likely at the hands of the mob. The Organized Group will leave them alone unless they literally have something that is "required" for the groups survival. The Lone Wolf will spare the unwilling to kill, as they can't take the chance the person changes their mind. Other's like them will band together and just be a juicy target for the mob. More fresh meat.

DayZ is great. Needs stability. Ability to build up defenses. Better ingame resources. More variety of spawns, but in the end, the element of the unknown, the drive to control your environment, weight risk versus reward...these are the things that make the ga...uh...experiment.

This is not a death match game. Yes, it is and can be a kill on site environment, but that's not because the other person represents a point. They represent the uknown. They represent risk. The represent possible reward. They are killed or not killed based on that.

Yes, some kill for no other reason than to kill...but guess what...2% of the world does that anyway. And some experts claim it would be more if not for the perception of law and order. I give you post Katrina New Orleans if you don't believe me.

Out.

In your opinion.

Please tell me what should I do after I get my AS50,L85 ASW and my Ghillie suit?Do you want me to continue looting for gear I don't need?Obviously since I have the best gear I could possibly have I am going to kill people with it and just because noobs like you make themselves easy targets doesn't mean I should stop being a sniper.

And for the record I have met unarmed people and helped them but anyone with something bigger than a handgun is a threat and needs to die,

I met a friendly 'group' one time. At the NW AF no less. We ended up working together to get a huey working and had a fun adventure filled evening.

A video of our first encounter.

In a perfect world this game would be 18+. I can assure you most of the problem would be solved. You can even see here, looking at some of the posts, lots of 12 year old kids acting tough cursing you for thinking the game has become a death match, only because they need to protect their knew 225km² Call Of Duty so badly.

I'm glad that there are still people that think the game is obviously more than that. Like i said before in some other threads, this is sandbox game, but still, it doesn't mean people need to act like jerks and retards, that's just the way they are, and how they would be in real life if there was no rules and consequences to their acts.

Humans are broken, and unless the almighty developer (THE GOD) fixes them, the game will probably stay like this for a while, i'm glad i still love it.
