I've found two crash sites literally 300 meters or so away from each other so many times at NWAF, it isn't even funny.

Nice! I've always wanted to track down players, but I found out that it's not that easy and happens rarely. Never really got the chance to try it again. Extremely lucky on your part, and nice attention to detail! Great story, have some beans. :D

Glad to see someone else somewhat has my side :D And BeefBacon, that story is nice. I think we've all had moments where we've fucked up. However, I've never fucked up and end up with the other person actually being friendly. Interesting. :3

No, not normally. I just run around the whole map looting for medical equipment and food, as most of the time I am already fully geared except for those items. It's rare that I hop directly from server to server. If I do, it's because of a server restart. Sounds like a clan member in my clan. He was messing around with a recruit and hit the gas station's tank one time and killed them both. Fun times.

I don't appreciate the smartass comment, but it's cute. Anyways, I'm not saying anyone is doing anything to make me a pacifist, I'm just trying to understand why it matters so much. It's one kill, that doesn't make me a bandit or a murderer. Why do I even try to communicate with you guys? All you do is criticize -.- Have fun with the convo, guys. :)

I'm pretty sure that I don't just point and left click. I don't understand why this thread is turning into a debate of whether to shoot on sight or talk with the player; I will do what I please. Besides, I don't do it normally, which is what I JUST told you guys. Jeeze, I know how to play the game, man.

I wouldn't call someone a "wanker" so quick, bud. That's probably one of the only times I've ever killed someone without consenting them first. Actually, to be clear, I had almost the same situation happen the other day, with the same character, except I turned the whole thing around. I was about to loot a ghillie tent in tent city at NWAF, and I stumbled across a fully geared player, and he had his weapon out, as did I. Instantly, I put away my gun, and put my hands up and did the friendly wiggle while saying "I'm friendly, I'm not gonna shoot you, bud." I couldn't understand what he was saying, because he sounded like he was speaking another language, but I offered him some food and water, and gave him a morphine, as I had 4 already. We quickly headed our own ways, but I still kept my guard up for other players. I don't normally kill, but the Admin Building situation actually felt pretty good, given the adrenaline rush and the nerves at the same time. Also, Ted, sounds like an amazing story, I've had something like that happen to me once with the clan I'm in. It feels good to give, though, rather than to take.

I feel the same way. It's almost a necessity to become a bandit to survive in DayZ now. Everyone takes being friendly suspicious now, just because bandits are crawling all over the map. Anywho, I've tried to play different playstyles, but it always ends up with me gaining another couple of rounds, and not in my inventory.

So as I was playing on a hardcore server just now, I killed someone right as he walked into the door of an admin building. As we were the only two on the server, I was almost certain that he would be coming after me, so I reloaded to make it sound like I was preoccupied. He was fairly geared, with tons of food, medical equipment, and some other goodies. In fact, I even managed to get a clean headshot on him. Now, I felt a little bad for killing him, but I was scared shitless and only had a Mosin, which is basically terrible in close-ranged gunfights. I should have tried to communicate with him, but it's Dog-Eat-Dog in this cruel world of DayZ nowadays. Anyways, what has everyone's best encounter been like on DayZ, and what did it feel like? Share it, please :'D

Lol I see so many of these posts every day. It's honestly your own fault. The community can be quite a pain in most cases, but you, my friend, are playing a SURVIVAL game. And in survival, wouldn't you try to kill the ones who oppose you or look like a threat to you, too? I know this is completely biased, but I actually take joy in gearing up for hours upon end and losing it. It brings a real challenge. If you want to have no challenge, then go play Minecraft. (No offence to Minecraft players. I, myself, love Minecraft.) This is a survival game. Get over it.
