HOw i feel about the way the survival is in this game.

[dustyfellow 0]

to be honest i feel there is to little survival yes you have to find food ammunition and water and soft drinks. but the palyer base no. i think the point was to get off a survival feel witht eh player base not everyone to hack weapons because people just camp the towns killing new players and so on. ( not that i hack weapons just an assumption). when i first started this mod everyone was help in trying to keep each other alive and well to fight off the hordes of zombies it's not like this anymore. i saw today a new player with nothing on him not even a crowbar, he didn't even know were to go and said over voice chat in cherno please help me I'm friendly countless times he told them he was friendly do the listen no they just him takes his one bandage and so on. there is no player's helping player's in this game. it's basically just a gaint pvp map with zombies add to it. i came for realistic zombie simulator and in real life i think i would help people in need. but hey that's just me and i guess im just one of the few who would take his time to help some and not leave them to die from zombies or others. hell i think even in real life even crimnals would help people if they saw there was nothing they could do ( also a person opinion).

thanks for reading my post

Sincerely-

Dustyfellow

Yeah, the ga,e changed comparing to several month back when. I still like it, I've just changed my playstyle.

I would love to see the game developing back to more survival though.

How do you know how you would behave in a zombie apocalypse? Pretty sure you'd be looking out for yourself if you knew people could just kill you and take your items; its not like they need another person to feed, and its not worth the risk to become acquainted with someone that has a fucking gun.

i know how i would behave because it is me. but it is true most peoples true nature comes out when things start to get bad. but i honestly believe i would act to help my friends and family and any stranger i saw.

Dude you're a retard. First how do you know he wouldn't extend a hand of friendship. Just because their are some who would kill, rape and steal for what they need doesn't mean every one. There is also a little thing called Safety in numbers. Also if you really want to be honest people would band together more then some people think. Lets look at the human population, there 64 billion people on this planet. Now in a Zombie apocalypse almost the vast majority of the population would become Zombies. In short the few who mange to stay alive are going to be out man and out gun. So the more people you have beside you the better you're odds are of surviving.

Also you're not going to get assholes sitting on a fucking roof top in middle of a fucking city full of Zombies wasting ammo just to kill people for sport. It would be a complete waste of ammo that will be hard to come by. Not to mention that If you start shooting at some one in middle of the city your going to do nothing but draw down a horde of Zombies on you're sorry ass and get you're self killed.

[Dazed 80]

64 billion? You know Earth couldn't support that many people right?

[mac 80]

It makes no sense that people would kill other people instead of killing the zombies. This is a game and thats why you have 15 year olds running around "CODing" it up. These same kids would, in real life, be shitting bricks in this situation.

exactly this is what this game is lacking atm is cooperation. but it seems that all peopel do is get really good guns then camp the cities with their clans and shoot anyone on site.just a few moments ago i said i was friendly to 2 people i only had a crowbar and so ammo i found. instead of listening they just got up with lee enflieds and sprayed 20 bullest into me. not even conserving ammo or worrying about the hordes of zombies it would of atracted.

Survival in DayZ is easy once you have 1. Hatchet 2. Matches 3. Knife 4. Water Bottle

It just so happens that the easiest and quickest way to get them is by picking up a weapon and shooting the first person you see in the face.

[Tersidre 168]

I think he meant to say 6 POINT 4 billion. 6.4

also he is wrong either way

its more like 6.9 billion right now

BUmp so i can hear more opinions.

[Tyrael75 (DayZ) 21]

No one here really understands the whole concept of realism or what a person will really do in the real world if a zombie apocalypse were to happen, you all would be dead within the first week of the apocalypse. A human being can not live without being with or being in contact with another human being with them. I know all of you will resent that and say its fucking bullshit and lies, its called "psychological" effects, you will be driven insane and you will kill yourself because you feel that you are the only one alive and you have no reason to even live. With that yes people will kill each other but they won't do it just for "fun" like everyone does in this mod, they will do it in self preservation, kill a few people to keep yourself (or your group) alive longer, of course a human will not shoot a person on sight they will ask "is this person (or group of people) hostile to me (or my group)" If the person (or group) prove themselves to be hostile you will either A: immobilize them or B: kill them.

amen sir that was a nice post and fully agree with you and understand what you mean.

if this were happen in real life... the first time you would try to help a random stranger your wife would get raped, you kids would get butchered, and after you suffered you would be killed too.

you are way too optimistic here my friend. humans are not lived through the history by being smart. Humans live cause they are the most brutal killers on the planet. you really think if zombie infection would happen... the few survivors would go hand by hand building a bright new future?

PS.: sorry if i was too harsh or "rape" word usage is not allowed. I'm new around the forums. :)

PS.: i had a guy once who was unarmed without anything in his hands yelling friendly. when i turned away he equipped his AK and blow my head off.

Now i just shoot on sight any1. Hunt or get Hunted... i prefer to Hunt. :)

Wrong.

Unless you live in a country where this behaviour is already common practice, you will find this type of thing will happen no more often than it does now.

MOST people will band together, there are always going to be the few that will want to cause harm... unlike a video game though, you can usually sense these things in real life.

that's your point of view, and i respect it. i'm glad we don't need to argue whos right, since there's no zombie apocalypse on us :)

let's just play the game as it feels right for you. i personally not kill for fun (though i do admit i play CoD on my 360), instead i kill for survival. Usually i try to evade other players. if i see them i either wait till they are gone, or i i give some warning shots to scare them away. IF i'm in a building looting and i bump into some1... well that's bad luck for him. i have a good reaction time.

To sum it up: i only kill if i can't evade other players by no mean... but then i pull the trigger without hesitation. not caring what he's yelling.

Lets see.. 98% of the world are zombies 2% are alive, you are 0.001% of that 2% so your saying you would rather extinct the human population to keep yourself alive? No once you do that will kill yourself because you are alone entirely again Psychological effects do more damage to a person than anything else.

On top of that that 98% is well over a billion people and the 2% are atleast 300-400k people trying to survive, more likely people will get together and try to create a civilized home for themselves 'WITH' others.

this guy makes since. his post spoke to me. i agree with some of the other psots and statements but come on like he said only 2% left.

[Lupin-III 44]

Lone wolves would not survive the apocalypse, and most of the me-first people here wouldn't even make it alive out of their parent's basement. They just want to sound tough.

[Whattteva 32]

Some nay sayers need to go back and learn history. People ALWAYS band together, humans are just by nature, very social. That's how you get early civilizations, which then evolved to countries as we know it today. The population of humans did almost go into extinction some 640,000 years ago due to a nuclear winter event caused by a super volcano eruption (google Toba eruption). If people were to just kill each other senselessly, we wouldn't have nearly 7 billion people today.
