The one and only solution to making this game more cooperative

[Hetzer_ing 22]

Hello,

I'm here not to frame or hate on the devs. But as i see it, the real only solution to making this game more cooperative and not a killfest is to make everything harder.

Make zombies more of a threat, make them hit harder, aggro from farther away, more of them, and make them spawn in hordes. Make guns, especially primarys more rare. Having a primary should be a really rare commodity, a really relished form of stopping power against the undead. something that would make people come together and not separate as it is now. Encouraging more teamplay instead of wasting every living soul you come upon.

Playing as a douche is really easy once you had a couple of days to figure this game out, ive been doing this for the past couple of months, and im really tired of playing like this, as its the ONLY way to really survive as it is in its current game form now.

TLDR: Make this game hard as fuck.

INB4: Alpha gonna alph.

Think about though, in real life, its kill or be killed, you need to kill non family members and not friends for food to live.

In real life you wouldnt kill a stranger to survive?

If I was by my self I would let him live, but if i got people with me, hes dead~

How many times do I have to tell you people....

If you don't want lots of douches and rampant douchebaggery, THEN FUCKING STOP DOING IT YOURSELF!!!

You're the problem, not the game. Use your free will and lack of rules to do something amazing. Lots of people already are, but they are a lot less vocal than the douches, so therefore that is all anyone ever sees.

I agree that this game needs to be much Much MUCH harder.

Beans for you.

In real life, im sorry to disrupt you, but i woudn't hestitate one second to kill another human beeing to keep me and mine safe.

Thats not meaning i want to see another more positive turn for this game as an experiment.

Sounds like you just want to make it impossible to be a lone survivor...

Needs a better solution, where lone survivors and groups can equally enjoy the game. Some people don't want or like human contact, and prefer to be a lone survivor in DayZ, so forcing people to team up in any way is just removing freedom.

That is intended.

Make zombies more of a threat, make them hit harder, aggro from farther away, more of them, and make them spawn in hordes.

Ok, but they already agro from very far away.

Make guns, especially primarys more rare. Having a primary should be a really rare commodity, a really relished form of stopping power against the undead. something that would make people come together and not separate as it is now.

If you would play ARMA 2 you would know about the major war taking place in the country and rifles and such should be more common, but aren't as that would be too easy. DayZ is intended to be a game that draws from human psychology, just because you see it as some coop adventure doesn't mean everyone else should.

Encouraging more teamplay instead of wasting every living soul you come upon.

Like I said above, just because you play a game a certain way doesn't mean everyone should, Bandits are a part of this game, they're not misplaying it or something like that. Don't like it play something else.

Playing as a douche is really easy once you had a couple of days to figure this game out, ive been doing this for the past couple of months, and im really tired of playing like this, as its the ONLY way to really survive as it is in its current game form now.

That's because you don't try, I enjoy being a bandit more, but I have been friendly and have never been betrayed by someone I've teamed up with.

TLDR: Make this game hard as fuck.

I don't know what TLDR means but if you want it to be hard make it that way use no exploits and play on larger servers only. I also don't what in before means or alpha gonna alph

Playing solo is, and will be the best solution as it is now. It's really easy to stay away from every city, or barn as it is now with no worries to look at. all you need is a couple of water bottles, a gun and the basic tools and you're set to live on youre own as long as you'd like. Minimazing the risk of getting spotted and killed. This is how i've played for a long time, and i gotta say the onlt time ive died to other means than buggs is when ive played duo and doing more risky sports as going to stary, nw, elektro etc.

This game needs some more cooperative action other than repairing choppers and camping tent sites.

"How many of you would kill to stay alive?" Okay, fair question.

"How many people would you kill for a really cool gun?" Uh...

"How many people would you kill for a really cool gun so you can kill people who don't actually have anything you need." ...Yeah, okay, this entire train of logic has just derailed.

Let's just say it: Nothing we do makes any actual sense, but we're sure badguys would exist in the apocalypse so anything we do is justified. Of course, badguys don't come back from the dead. And they can't run back to their tents when they die as if nothing ever happened.

If there weren't tents, most banditry would stop. If we weren't a bunch of polygons and instead had personalities and faces and expressions and had to bluff and lie instead of having unreadable fake faces and we moved in the exact same way as the person next to us, banditry probably wouldn't be as rampant.

But as long as you can't read peoples' expressions, their tone of voice, judge them based on eye contact, or even wrestle them to the ground and take the gun out of their hand. As long as guns don't make any actual noise comparable to what they do in real life. As long as this game remains unrealistic, then claims for reality make no sense.

All the people who say they would kill without a second thought make me laugh.

The only people who kill that easily are ones with psycosocial mental disorders, or highly trained and professional soldiers/hitmen/etc.

I doubt a single person here could handle the mental stress of murdering someone. Even in a zombie apocolypse.
