So the weirdest thing happened to me the other day whilst playing...I actually encountered a friendly player by the name of Felix! He was a German chap and spoke pretty good english. Since he decided not to shoot me I gave him a scope for his mosin along with about 20 rounds. This is the first time playing the standalone I have had a friendly interaction with another player like this, so we teamed up and I followed his lead to Elektro. To cut a long story short we got killed by two bandits :( But I was just curious, how often do friendly encounters with players like this happen in the standalone? It was certainly a first for me and i've been playing since launch! R.I.P Felix P.S I did record the whole thing and made a short video for YouTube but i've found out the hard way that posting video links was frowned upon, If someone is interested in seeing the video though I could post the link, but only if I am allowed...the graveyard was a nasty place.

Really interesting to hear all the different stories maybe ill try a hardcore server, although I have no idea how to find an RP server they seem pretty cool, probably easier to judge someones motives by the character they are portraying! Maybe once the hunting mechanics etc are added to the game it will add a greater motive for befriending someone or even trading food with other players who knows!

It's quite sad that its like that hearing from you guys, but i guess its the same with rust ,dayz and probably H1Z1 but its nice regardless when people decide to be different! Freshens the experiance up a little

I have posted the video link in the gallery as suggested:)

So this is the video counterpart to the discussion I have made earlier today, for those of you who havent read the discussion I asked how often do friendly encounter like the one I had describeed occur with everyone else in DayZ standalone, I had my first frienly encounter since launch recenlty and was recording the same time, I made a short 7 min video of the encounter! The player in question was called felix and this is the video when we met up and headed to Elektro together. Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm7iy9-vpkc
