Dr. Hawk 5 Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Just thought I'd swoop down and say hello to all. I keep getting shot when I try to speak so maybe text will work better... I have grasped the underworkings of the game however and am looking for other chatty people. I do this in hope of finding peeps to play with, as so far everyone I meet in DayZ is a COD player with an itchy trigger finger. What ever happened to JOLLY COOPERATION???

decoman 45 Posted September 4, 2012 I met this guy in a ghillie suit on the ridge just behind Stary, as he ran past me 5m off with two zombies after him. I think he said "I'm not a bandit", but I couldn't quite hear him. He spoke with a low voice and maybe I couldn't quite hear him because of the gunfire after I started gunning him down, :o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted September 4, 2012 I have yet to go to Stary...Good loot but even as a 'friendly' player, Stary is a shoot on sight zone for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sasrecon 133 Posted September 4, 2012 I find I get a more positive response from other players if I write/speak in direct chat but they have no idea where I am, it gives me the upper hand and makes them fearful, the type of fear which makes them have to trust you a little tiny bit considering I haven't killed them yet - that followed by careful instructions and slow movements towards one-another with weapons pointing to the ground usually results in no bloodshed.Another situation would be freeing a newbie from zombies but after bandaging them up and giving them a few tips etc. I usually find myself parting from them as they would only slow me down.How do you usually find yourself approaching other players?

Generally I just run up and say hi. However I don't know if my push to talk is even working, I have YET to hear a single soul in the game outside of skype or Teamspeak.

Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted September 4, 2012 Don't run up to people trying to high five them. Make sure your in a good position to at least defend yourself before you make contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
