Lol screw you

What actually happened last time was that I was disconnected whilst moving through a hanger so the only thing I could do was log straight back in. Then I was mowed down before I was even properly spawned in the game. I didn't even have a weapon drawn. The in-game models and textures still hadn't even spawned properly and I didn't yet have control of my character. And I know from experience that you can see a players character well before they are logged in and can control it. The other players options were numerous: Hold me up and rob me then let me go Chat me and tell me to drop my weapons before I was logged in Give me the benefit of the doubt and see if I go for a weapon before shooting (they had the upper hand already having a gun aimed at me) Knock me unconscious somehow then remove my weapons and revive me with the epi pen I had in my inventory I would have even preferred being held up and cuffed with the 2 pairs I had and then left to take my chances But no, some mean b*stard decided to blow my head off and ruin the character I had spent hours cultivating for no reason other than to make his game a fraction easier for him. You claim that he had good reason to kill me? Why the f*ck don't we all just go around taking what we want from people in real life regardless of the consequences? I'm beginning to think that I was wrong to assume people didn't sink to those levels for moral reasons and that they only stay within the bounds of the law because of the punishments they would receive. And also, I don't understand why people like this would even play DayZ. If they want to spend their days just travelling and looting and have a KOS mentality then play f*cking Borderlands or something and leave the rest of us to actually try to be part of something different and memorable instead of just doing what comes easiest to them. You're not real players, you're trigger happy, unsportsmanlike, mindless children who can't lift their heads far enough out of the pit of ignorance they have encouraged themselves to sit in to see that theres actually infinitely more satisfaction to be gleaned from helping out another survivor with a can of beans, some medical care or even some advice. Have a f*cking chat with someone you come across instead of just pumping rounds into them like they're some obstacle to overcome. For the rest of us that don't play this game with a Black Ops mentality it is extremely disheartening that so many of you have convinced yourselves that its dog-eat-dog and "its only a game". Well how many times have you gotten pissed with someone who tells you "its only a game" when you get killed in a videogame and get angry? Its a game, but a game you've put hours upon hours into, that you pour all of your ability into and having someone trivialise your efforts in such a careless way feels pretty terrible. Just try to remember that the next time you empty a weapon into a survivor without any good reason. How do you feel when a glitchy server deletes your character after spending hours gathering supplies and trekking across the map? You're pissed cos its just undone all of your good work and at least with such a glitch nobody can necessarily be blamed for it. I mean the devs or server hosts don't put in design these problems just to upset people. They try to keep them from happening. But when someone KOS's you in game thats a decision they've made... They've decided that they don't give a sh*t about your efforts, the time you've spent playing, your plans in the game, your enjoyment etc. They just want what they want regardless of what it costs you. There are no points awarded for kills, no win condition, you don't HAVE to kill other survivors. I just wish more players would value others' experiences and efforts within the game. I don't think thats too much to expect from fellow gamers

You're a douche. At the very least behaving like this can undo hours of work by other players if not ruin the experience completely. I'm so f*cking tired of being killed by a-holes for no good reason. I'm one of the few players who will give others the benefit of the doubt despite being armed to the teeth most of the time. I put it to you that you should not indiscriminately kill other players, its a game no reason to care who or why.

Hmm, I guess so... Is the range of the in game voice the same as the zombie noises though? Plus it would be easier to just press a button and do it instead of trying to mimic it yourself

I can't find mention of this idea but it came to me while looting today. I think it would be a great idea to be able to map one of the unused F buttons to make the noises that zombies make. Not to call zombies or anything, that would be weird (or would it?) but more to fool other players. For instance if you spotted someone a little more heavily armed looting around you and you didn't want them to stumble across you, you could make one of these zombie noises to perhaps fool them into thinking there is a zombie hidden nearby and thus making them flee the area. I think it would make an interesting mechanic. Do it too often/quickly and the other player could catch on to your ruse... or they may just come looking to cull the zombie population anyway... Thoughts?
