CrimsonOmen

So after wanting to play this game for weeks after first seeing some of the funniest gameplay videos ever, I decided to jump aboard the train and play DayZ. Little did I know that you no longer spawn with a starting weapon, food, water, and ridiculous zombie aggro. My main problem that I have come across however, is that without a starting weapon, players who already have weapons are more inclined to shoot you. For many players, including myself, finding a starting weapon can take quite some time. I have died multiple times to players who are already armed and are hunting down players who have no means of defense. There is no repercussion to shooting at unarmed players because they have zero means of self protections. When you start with a pistol, it adds to the whole, I just can't kill every player mentality, because I can actually be SHOT BACK AT. I feel that a starting weapon is vital to how the game should play, mainly for the fact of self defense. Having a starting weapon actually unmotivates player killer because all players start off with a means of self defense so they is the repercussion factor of shooting another player. That's just my two cents, I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
