The pants!? What of the pants?

My first kill was unnecessary, I did everything I could to try an avoid it. I was at the fire station in Cherno, just looting stuff. I recently spawned so I wasn't too well equipped, but I did have a fire axe and an SKS. As I make my way to the third section I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. I ask "friendly? have a mic?" as I see the guy make his way to the floor im on. He is a fresh spawn with only a UN helmet and a fire extinguisher in his hand. No reply on mic, then he types "no mic". I say that im friendly and just looking around, im not a threat. He responds by raising the fire extinguisher into attack mode. "Dude, you dont want to do that, I have an axe and you have a fire extinguisher." Silence. I start to make my way back down the stairs, strafing, to keep an eye on the mute guy. He just stands there, fire extinguisher still raised. So I make my way back to the ground floor and go to the door of the fire station. Mute guy follows, stands in front of me. I ask him if he needs anything... no response. So getting bored, I decide to make my way to the police station... THWACK. The moron actually just smacked me with the fire extinguisher. I pull out my axe, turn and strafe in a circle to dodge another swipe of the fire extinguisher. I respond with an axe blow to the neck/shoulder area. He goes down promptly. Im pretty sure he's just knocked out, so I say "that was not smart. I have no reason to kill you, nor do I want to. So just run away from me when you getup." Few seconds pass, mute guy stands up and proceeds to swing with his fists at me. "Really?!" Quickslot 1, space bar, left click, left click. Mute guy is now proper mute. As I left, "Idiot! I gave you every opportunity to live." ------------------------------------ Even though i've been KOS'd at pretty much every opportunity and betrayed by seemingly friendly people, I will continue to try and play the role of hero. Sadly, I have only come into contact with one true hero since i've been playing. Someone who was fully geared and could have blasted me without thinking, but instead provided me with food and a loaded 1911. Bravo sir.

I really love this game for playing with your emotions like no other game has before. The heart racing panic during an engagement and the tension leading up to it. That feeling of shame that washes over you after killing the player who maybe didnt deserve it, or wasn't equipped to protect himself. Then there's the feeling of confidence that comes from killing someone trying to ambush you or some a-hole picking on bambis. The reasons above are why the countless bugs and other things are bearable. Im glad I finally convinced myself to buy this game work in progess.

Ok, I really like having crash sites in stable. My only issue with crash sites, is that you see the wreckage far before you can see the smoke. It really should be the other way around. The smoke should be visible for kilometers out. Acting like a beacon to draw people in from good distances away.

I have an AKM with worn PSO scope available for trade in regular mode. I'm looking to trade for an M4 with ACOG worn or better.

Beans sir. I understand watching vids to get tips/tricks/secrets. But to spend copious amounts of time watching someone play the game, instead of playing it yourself seems odd. When was the last time you saw a huge audience watching the pickup basketball games at your local park? Just because it's a thing, doesnt make it any less pathetic. Ashley Madison is a "thing" now, does that make encouraging adultery acceptable? Probably some clumsy metaphors, but I can't be assed to think of better ones. My point stands though. I accept yours as well, though with a helping of shame for our younger generation. Of course, this is just my opinion. Younger folks are going to disagree.

Fair enough, though I think that problem is better solved by addressing the spawn system. Of course NE airfield and berezino will always be crawling with people if 90% of the spawns start on that part of the map. Anyway, thats a different discussion altogether. Thanks for the reply Frosti.

Wow, why are they so condensed to the west? To draw people away from the NE airfield and Berezino?

Sorry, but I have to agree with OP. Im getting 100k desync much more often since the latest update. Its not limited to a server or two. This happens on every server I join.

Really? A 10 second intro for 20 seconds of content? <_<
