astroz0mbie 5 Posted September 12, 2012 People who lay around in the same spots on servers and wait to shoot other people were criticized for being campers and consider to not have skill.In DayZ, they are called "bandits" and "snipers" and some how people think there is skill to setting up barbed wire in front of one of the few enter-able buildings and then sitting out side hidden waiting to shoot some guy with an hatchet.i'm out... it was a nice run up to this alpha version.the game is not about zombies or any type of survival... it's about how you can manipulate the server jumping to get a gun and then sit around and snipe people.no thanks... you've lost your theme and your way...

SmashT 10907 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) The game was never about zombies, it was always about player interaction, that includes interaction with bandits who camp or set up traps. Edited September 12, 2012 by smasht_AU 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dankine 377 Posted September 12, 2012 if they sit in the same spots you should be able to get the drop on them. play with some semblance of skill and out play people rather than bitching and whining. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) *old man voice*Back in my day, a bandit was someone who held other players at gunpoint and stole their stuff, not some pussy with an AS50 killing people in Cherno Edited September 12, 2012 by omgwtfbbq 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OrLoK 16187 Posted September 12, 2012 Hello thereBack in the day "camping" was seen as a legit tactic (although could be dull in 1v1 rs232 cable matches) With the advent of the new fangled upstart called quake, some bright spark wrote a no camp script and a valid tactic was consigned to history from then on in.Now, I can camp again. As long as I don't grief I truly don't see the issue. There are mechanics in place which penalise camping already in game. And If someone wants to sit in one place for hours, what's to stop them?Personally, I like to explore, but if someone wants to sit on a hillside, why berate em?Snipers are supposed to be a pain in the bottom, that's the point of them.I understand your dislike for them, but by that logic, "zombies are a pain too and don't represent how *I* want to play. Ban em!"Also, It's damn dangerous to play solo (although I do) so, group up find a mate and use those anti sniper tactics, most are untrained and disorganised and can easily be flanked/outwitted.If one of you is hurt or dies your mate can guard your loot for you, plus you can get a shiny new rifle off the sniper you kill.RgdsLoK 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astroz0mbie 5 Posted September 12, 2012 I just have the time to spend running from one town to another with a hatchet only to be sniped by some troll sitting around thinking he's got some skill by shooting a guy with a hatchet from 400m....and to think this game was never about zombies... I think the game has evolved into what it most caters to... and that is why i'm leaving...there is nothing more for it to offer me... so don't criticize my skills or the way I play... because you've only seen this post. and good luck to dayz... i appreciate the devs work up to this point... i've just had enough of where it sits today.read between the lines on this one...the game has evolved into what it most caters to...

Since you seem to be in the know, would you mind gracing us with your articulate intelligence? If you are referring to camping in an fps thats much different that sniping in a milsim. So I am still asking...wtf exactly are you talking about?Wait no..don't tell me...someones butthurt they got killed by "camping" "snipers" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

♠ Unknown ♠ 8 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Campers used to get me pretty quick at 1st.But now I learnt to scout, use my binocuars/sniper (if I have any) to better check cities and stuff before running in there.It can piss you off tho, but yeah nothing new. This is not a FPS where u die then just hop back on with your shiny gun and get revenge in 10 secs.Only issue I have with this game is the Hacker situation XD Edited September 12, 2012 by ♠ Unknown ♠ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

astroz0mbie 5 Posted September 12, 2012 what theme and what way exactly? Since you seem to be in the know, would you mind gracing us with your articulate intelligence? If you are referring to camping in an fps thats much different that sniping in a milsim. So I am still asking...wtf exactly are you talking about?Wait no..don't tell me...someones butthurt they got killed by "camping" "snipers"This... there is nothing about this in the game... I can run around forver looking for loot... never once worried about the "infected indigenous people... they are a non factor... the people interaction is almost nil... the survival factor is moot once you find a hatchet, box of matches and hunting knife... and as far as milisim... yeah, the game is based on a milism engine... but it's the douchery is the same... the engine doesn't change that... and for me, that is what this game encourages now... because all of the above is gone.A 225 km2 open world post-soviet state and one of the areas hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few who have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population, now infected with the disease.Go Solo, team up with friends or take on the world as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.

OrLoK 16187 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Hello thereThere's not alot because there's not alot to the mod at present. Frankly, DAYZ was just a small mod that went viral. If you want mods with years of love put into them Try I44 or A.C.E or PRACS, to name but a tiny few.If you believe marketing blurb as gospel truth, I may have a bridge to sell you.RgdsLoK Edited September 12, 2012 by orlok 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astroz0mbie 5 Posted September 12, 2012 Ha... butthurt about snipers... i've played this game and been killed many times and many ways... so it's not that...Anyway... i'm out... good luck to rocket and his crew.They certainly deserve to build the game they want and deserve success for all the hard work they have put into this mod.It's just not in a place that draws me back to keep playing.I hope everyone who attacked my post continues their enjoyment and support for rocket.

OrLoK 16187 Posted September 12, 2012 Hello thereWell, farewell, but try the many great Arma2 mods available, if DAYZ isnt to your taste, there's bound to be missions and mods out there for you.www.armaholic.com is the first place to look, then the Bis forums.Good luckRgdsLoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
