byrgesen 1340 Posted August 27, 2012 well. what can you expect when 500.000 children come to play a simulator game, never ment for this in the first place.Apparrently alot of people are lacking stuff to do, and taking it out on all other players and insted of going against the flow and trying to stop it, everybody does what the OP does. Way to go hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) depending the situation changes the matter these days, though i will admit with all the shenanigans going on in DayZ at the moment me and my clan tend not to run the risk of "friendly", we try to avoid other players but if we see no other way we can't take the risk of leaving them alive. Sorry :DEDIT: Though OP i will admit i hope we never cross paths, would be rather unfortunate. Edited August 27, 2012 by Derpy_Hooves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novac3721 15 Posted August 27, 2012 It doesn't help some people are down right stupid. I was in Cherno, on a night server with 3 other people on, and I run out the back of the fire station only to have a survivor with her revolver out run into me. I was too shocked to shout friendly, but I had the hero skin on. I sort of just ran around her, not aiming, not standing still, and what does she do? Sits still and starts shooting her pea shooter at me, the guy with the M249. She's dead now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afro23 7 Posted August 27, 2012 If i saw someone iam so happy that another people is alive :) I dont even think to shoot him or her..iam just glad to see another survivor:)..but most people is like americans...shoot first,ask twice..Friendly at all time(but if you start shoot i put you in the ground in sec.)

SpecOpsScott 20 Posted August 27, 2012 I still will not KOS, i will recon for a while, or avoid other players completely. In some situations though, i will try to make contact through direct chat. So far its only been a couple of times that i felt comfortable doing that, and both times were successful meetings. There are places on the map that invite PvP, i go to those places when im looking to PvP, but im not going to mindlessly blow away someone looting the store at Krasnostav. If the situation is right, i will even attempt contact and help them find what they need. If they don't want my assistance, fine, i'll move along. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aim for legs, then high tail. If they have a real gun to shoot at me with, it will be a body shot and the Mk 48 is a one shot kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kebman 213 Posted August 27, 2012 Hm, sometimes I get a mean streak and go hunting. I've decided that I will try to resist that temptation from now on. But if I'm surprised in a city, or see someone bolting at me with a semi, I'll shoot first and ask questions later. If I get the chance, I've decided that I will recon the fellow for a while first, and then try to make contact from a safe place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheMedic 58 Posted August 27, 2012 But how often do people ACTUALLY pay attention to the skin, be it survivor, hero, or bandit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DazTroyer 227 Posted August 27, 2012 lol another one turning into one of the idiots who ruin other players game :DI did try, oh how I tried. Some of the deaths are funny, satchel charge in the fire station tower, bastard bringing a whole load of zeds with him then shot me in the legs. However the number of times folk pretend to be nice only to wack you as soon as your backs turned is unreal. Even got to 4040 humanity ffs. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) I recommend all friendly players to never be the one who shoots first. Only respond to fire if others shoot at you. If two strangers meet and they both are following this principle, there will be no danger to either of them.For me, one of the most interesting part of this game used to be (and still is) encountering strangers and sometimes teaming up with them. This idiotic "kill on sight" attitude just takes away that part of the game. :( Edited August 27, 2012 by Wüstenfuchs 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesR 74 Posted August 27, 2012 Honestly you can't trust the "hero" skin. He could just be the medic for a bandit clan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
