billyangstadt 272 Posted June 9, 2012 For me, I'm always friendly if in the beginning.If you kill me, I'll just respawn, not a big deal.I usually try to avoid all human contact, but If I've been playing for a while and have some high quality loot, there's a 100% chance I'm going to kill you if you find me or sneak up on me.I was friendly all of the time in the beginning, but after being killed over and over for the "lulz", I've decided if I have something to lose...I'm going to shoot first if I can.

BL1P 252 Posted June 9, 2012 As there is no bandit anymore in the game the only conclusion you can make is everyone is a bandit unless on your ts.Until this is fixed the game is basicly DM + some zombies thrown in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt.Spam 42 Posted June 9, 2012 Pretty much the same as the OP.You've got nothing to lose by dying after you've respawned.It's only after you've been alive for a while do you want to start shooting first to survive.Or just shoot all the time because you want to.

salty (DayZ) 39 Posted June 10, 2012 I tend to be more friendly on new characters. The more gear I acquire, the more cautious and hostile I become. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n_findlay14@yahoo.co.uk 45 Posted June 10, 2012 I don't really care if I lose everything, therefore I don't treat everyone I see as a bandit. The only time I consider someone a bandit is when bullets start flying my way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maizel 1 Posted June 10, 2012 After being backstabbed and shot numerous times over half depleted spawning gear, I just assume everybody is hostile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk24 94 Posted June 10, 2012 If I don't have room I eat the beans I already have and immediately replace them with fresh ones from the kill.You bring honor to the bandit professionIt doesn't matter how full your inventory is, someone always has something that you might need later onAlso: why would I try to evade someone that I have the drop on?If you don't exploit the situation it can only get worseHe might spot you and take you out after you turn your back on himOr your "evasive maneuver" gets yourself killed because you ran into the crosshair of someone else Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivan2294 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm always friendly. If not, then who will be?Everyone here says that they assume everyone else is a bandit, that makes you one yourself for shooting on sight.I refuse to be a bandit, my RoE is purely defensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adimch 1 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm friendly until I hear the shots fired at me; then I run like fuck! Returning fire is my last option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivan2294 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm friendly until I hear the shots fired at me; then I run like fuck! Returning fire is my last option.I always return fire, if someone is going to kill me I want them to at least suffer for it.I've once mortally wounded a bandit who killed me.

FieldMedic 7 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm friendly until I hear the shots fired at me; then I run like fuck! Returning fire is my last option.I'm pretty much the same way. I try to be sneaky and situationally aware so I see other players first, and when I do, I discretely go the opposite direction. I've spotted and slipped away from half a dozen people without them ever knowing I was there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuckDayz 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I was always friendly and trying to get team work, But after getting killed over a 100 times by humans and only 3 times by zombies, I going to kill every damn human I see in future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bomfy 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I decide friendly if I know their middle name, mother, birthday, and the stupidest thing they have ever done.Everyone else is considered a threat, unless they try and come up behind me then I consider them in attack mode and act accordingly.

Farris 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Well from now on out, Iv'e adopted the same damn stance as everyone else seems to have....Shoot on sight. (unless they respond on direct chat)But yeah iv'e gotten shot one to many times by dicks/paranoid guys now.Heck I got killed about 5 mins ago, up at Green mountain, some dick decided to kill me.. Not even a "friendly?" or a "get out or get shot".So in my eyes, everyone is fair game now, unless they respond to direct chat.I'll probably end up as bitter as everyone else and just start to shoot on sight soon.

ssential 0 Posted June 10, 2012 I haven't played for some weeks now bot wow, dayZ has gone down fast.From the respones in this thread it seems as if dayz degraded to easymode with one rule: Shoot everybody on sight. This hasn't always been this way and no, I won't and will never do that, no matter how many times you douches kill me :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esaciar 1 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm almost always friendly...unless I really get suspicious...if you don't speak for instance or I get the sights on me for too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
