This is the kind of thing that needs to happen more often. :ph34r: Making other players sweat without really harming them, adds much to the experience. I wouldnt even be mad if someone just did a nicely planned stickup rather than straight up murder me in the face. This game is somuch more than just an elaborate round of COD/BF, and people should act accordingly. The first player I see, I plan on robbing rather than just killing. I'll have my guillysuited friend sit some 200 meters behind me as I make contact holding my lowered gun, and ill just bluff the crap out of it by saying I have a group of 3 with guns trained on him. If he doesnt believe it, ill just call for a warning shot and let the ricoshet convince him otherwise. And I will demand just 1 item of food, 1 item of drink, and 1 item of gear, thats good enough. Catch and release is a better feel of accomplishment than plain old bag and tag, imho.

My friends and I run a hero trio, sadly we are currently forced to 'neck it out in the boonies up north, because every single person we came across has tried to shoot us on sight without any reason. Wed gladly offer some food and water to anyone kind enough to approach us with the wave of a hand, but people playing DayZ SA seem to be complete savages about 95% of the time, especially once they have a gun. We are this close to just becoming another raider party who shoots on sight, because frankly our efforts to aid others are being met with bullets way too often to bother. I think many new players enter the game with the hero mentality, but become bitter after they get killed without reason too many times. Its a vicious cycle..

So then what IS the purpose of this lethal liquid? Surely theres more to it than just suicide or poisoning captives? Maybe you can turn rags into proper sterile bandages or something? Id like to see the option to spike waterbottles with it so you can trick people into poisoning themselves. Plopping a bottle of poisonous swill out in the open somewhere so its easy to see and pick up, then watching a careless idiot swig some of it without checking its condition, then just following him till he drops. That way you wont have to shoot and damage the gear hes got on him. Or simply carry a bottle of poison with you at all times if you can spare the room, as a revenge mechanism on any asshole who murders and loots you.
