lol it is just a scenario, but it does happen, actually rather often too.

here is a couple reason of why it is acceptable. 1. they were able to gather the supplies to build it. 2. they are organized(unlike the rest of the people who are in bean wars) 3. if you want that stuff soooo bad you can run up there and snatch it 4. means less players in some of the inland cities(more loot for ya ;D) 5. if they didn't do that, they would just group up and go raid cities, and don't tell me you could kill all 8 of them either you damn rambo wannabe.

2 reason for the change in motivations #1. I believe the increase in KOS and agressive pick-up has to do with veterans and their interaction with the kids that play this game. Because as soon as youtube got a hold of DayZ kids started flooding in the gates because of the amazing feedback people were telling them. For example say Kid 1 watches Video A about Dayz by somebody who does a let's play or something of the sort. He watches Video A because this person who made Video A does cool COD:MW3 videos and killfeeds and he likes those. So he watches the video and thinks it is kind of boring but the guy says he loves the game and it should be an auto-buy. So the kid does what any kid would do now-a-days go ask his parents if he can get it, they say yes, he gets it and starts playing. He figures out the basic controls so he is now out on the hunt for some zombie killing and head smashing. He walks up from the beach to elektro, finds, let's say an alice pack and a 1911(be it an hour to do so). Now since he has found a new gun and replaced the crappy makorov, he looks out to find a person he can play with. He then finds somebody, who he then asks, if they are friendly. This said player,call him player 1, responds with a reply of yes. So the kid is used to playing games where friendlies are easily recognizable and enemies are clearly defined. What he doesn't know is that this person is a bandit and with no direct way to tell friend from foe he will never know. So as the kid approaches, player 1 unloads into his head with a makorov mag, and loots his dead body of all of his hard earned things. Now Kid #1 is confused as to why player 1 killed him and continues to swear at him and call him names. He then respawns and decides he will just run through this time and try to find weapons and be semi-agressive and hostile to people he finds. This time he finds some weapons and runs into Player 2, this player being a veteran player who kills if he needs supplies or if it benefits him. So they are running through elektro and find a horde and they kill the horde, but after it player 2 realizes he only has 16 rounds left for his AK-74u and the kid has the same gun but the kid tells him he has 2 mag left. So then player 2 decides to shoot him in the back and take his stuff. The Kid is now dead for the second time by 2 "supposably" friendlies who killed him and took his stuff. So now the kid is trying to be rambo and runs through elektro guns blazing killing anybody he sees from then on out and trusts nobody. Which is what leads me to my second reason, The Veterans #2.The Veterans Now veterans most likely have every single advantage you could think of, because they do. They have spent more time playing and have in exchange learned more and know how easily death can find you. I sat there and watched a guy on elektro's hospital's roof snipe 5 beaniebabies and to my horror he was doing it for shits 'N giggs, no looting of any sort. So the veterans are better equiped, have more experience, and are willing to do it just for fun because they have visited all of the places and think it is alot more entertaining to kill the new players then travel around from town to town. To conclude what i think, i would say that kids are very impressionable and when they die so very often, they find no fun and learn to trust nobody. And that it all started because of the veterans who chose to be assholes and camp the SE spawn points and wait for newbs in elektro and cherno. So it was the community that caused the change. I, myself am fine by this. In fact, i love the suspicion that is involved and trying to figure out friend or foe, or if i have to nail this guy in the back while he is turned around.....This is just alpha testing and the game will change, im sure that the moaning that is going on won't help very much and just make rocket pissed off and think we are all just a bunch of ungrateful children who complain for the slightist reason.

lol i live by St.louis, missouri..... The middle of the U.S and you hear all the time about people killin other people, sometimes for no reason other than stupid gang related things. LOL one time i heard this guy killed another guy for his hamburger*cough*beans*cough*. kids these days :P

ok i just got on the server and started from where i left off, in the control tower,NE airfield. But as soon as i got out of the loading screen i heard what sounded like a rifle of some kind and looked out of the glass window. To my surprise i see some guy running in circles followed by zombies and then i realized that the guy who was shooting was on top of the damn roof shooting the zombies behind him. Before i had time to come up with a plan(had no nades) they are all dead and the guy is headin back up to the tower to meet with his buddy who is right above me. So i start freakin out cause im about to get stomped on so i stand on the ledge leading from the second floor to the room i started in and waited for him to come up. Low and behold after a few minutes of him sneeking around goin up the stairs i see him and blast him to oblivion with my trusty AKM(btw this is all i had along with 2 cans of beans, makorov, and water/soda) I then promptly start booking it down the stairs cause i hear his friend just jump off the roof to the outside of the glass. As i near the lower floor i see a zombie that ,somehow, made it halfway up the stairs, and sat there while i ran past him and into the alcove behind the stairs thinking i might try to wait that dead guy's buddy out. A few seconds later i hear this huge BOOM and the zombie stops growling and im like OH CRAP IM SCREWED. But i wait a few minutes to see when he would move or something so i could hear where he was, but he didn't. So me,being the genius that I am, ran up the flight of stairs to see what was happening. THEY WERE BOTH DEAD(laying right next to each other, kinda ironic) so I think he threw a gernade at the zombie and it... well i don't exactly know but they were finally dead! so i did what any sane person would do and loot stuff from dead corpses. And to my joy i find a map,compass,binocylors,entrenching tool,watch and hunting knife. Then i look in the other guy's stuff(he had a alice pack, which i stole) it contained tons of food(five cooked meat), a m9 which i quickly traded for my gay makorov, and 4 frags..... so ends my story of slaughtering somebody who didn't know i was there and hearing his friend blow himself up. I would also have SSs but dunno how to get the steam SSs from there to here )-=

lol that is awesome, i'd put some SSs up here of their dead bodies litterally right next to each other, but i don't know how to transfer them from steam to here )-=

there is no way you could slow time down and speed it up in a multiplayer setting... derp. by fast forward i think he would mean sprinting, otherwise there isn't anything like what your friend described

lmao those things are nasty, was on a server and they hit, killing everybody that wasn't in a building. I'd say i saw at least 10 people die. BTW if any1 wants to team up and kill people at the NE airfield, i'd be glad to...lend a gun or two ;)

well herp-a-derp! of course i was server hoppin :P

and idk if i mentioned it, but the guy on top had a aksomethin and the guy runnin around had a winchester.
