    You can't beat em join. Open fire on everyone you meet. There are movements out there to change that but with dozens of new players coming in every day adopting the SoS based on their first experience with another player (which is them being shot at) it's unlikely to change. You want friends, you join a gang. Otherwise, you KILL everyone you come across.

    I have the same problem, i look like a murder just because i defended myself. I don't think you can do anything about it, not yet. Maybe in the next version...

    The bodies probably disappeared because they alt-f4'd....

    I thought of that, but then if thats true why do I have 4 murders? Even if they d/c'd their bodies would still be there right?

    So, I just had my first massacre today. Now, I'm the kind of guy that doesn't shoot until fired upon. I don't like killing people if I dont have to, but today I need clarification that I did right.

    What went down was this: I spawn in cherno, doing some looting, expecting me to get shot, no big deal. Welp, I came across an AK and 2 magazines, so bringing that I out I head to the fire hall. Going up and down the stairs, I end up come out front to have shots fired upon me. I think it's one guy, so I head back around and climb the ladder while I have time. At the roof of the firehouse, I see a group of 4 men. I level 3 of them, 2 with my Ak, the other one with the help of a zombie. The last one comes up behind me I guess trying to be badass, but I get the jump on him and level him as well.

    I take the guy's behind me stuff and head off.

    Now, I have two questions:

    1. The other 3 bodies, they were gone! All within two minutes time, is that really the time the body despawns, or did these guys fucking disconnect?

    2. Would you have done the same in my situation? Like I said before, I dont like killing if I don't have to, but I feel they didn't leave me a choice in the matter.

    3. I've now got 4 murders under my belt, and no doubt people will hear the heartbeat. How can I make up for this?

    I was in electro, I went to the school and on the top there was 2 prone gentlemen. Being the friendly freak I am, I extend my voice over DC "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY" expecting shots to be fired any second. But, they didn't move, so I went in their packs, looted them, and left.

    It is strange, I can see this being a glitch for perhaps one guy, but it to happen to two guys, right next to eachother?

    Well if its anything like the movie The Mist then I'm going to be scared to death to even move anywhere... :(

    I think thats one of the reasons I like it. It's 1000 meters wide, or one could make several 300 meter wide clouds throughout the map moving. To see one coming from a distance on top of a roof would be a fucking nightmare.

    And in a game where all people do is spawn, and shoot unarmed people, maybe this is just what the game needs to have people come together again, or at least not shoot as much for fear of attracting the mist hoard.

    I like it. To have this monster of mist appear in the middle of the wilderness. It would truly give a sense of eeriness to those who stick to the woodland areas. It would be a monster without a face, making it even more frightening.

    You were knocked unconscious on a (motherfucking) boat and woke up on a beach having dropped your baseball bat/hatchet/crowbar/lead pipe/police baton/combat knife/golf club/etc

    There' date=' it's realistic once again

    No spawning with weapons kthx

    I really hate how every suggestion has to be realistic to the very last detail.

    I'm sure glad everybody claiming 'deathmatch' knows all the numbers and statistics to back up such a well educated and non sensationalised argument for what can be the only possibility of things happening.

    The bandit system was flawed and moronic' date=' a binary system of 'evil' or not when the factors for becoming evil are much more varied than the results in no way improves or enhances gameplay or variety. It gives idiots a safety net telling them what they should do, even when that advice is very easily massively flawed, and that it not what day z is about. It doesn't hand hold you for anything else and the number of people advocating it should hand hold your human interaction actually saddens me.

    You don't need evidence when there is a thread like this EVERY day at least once. Something is clearly wrong considering this many people are bitching about it. Yes, dying sucks, but I find it hard to believe that all of the people bitching are making these threads because they were killed only once. There has to be truth behind it considering just the sheer amount of threads involving the issue.

    Because that player doesnt want to play in group' date=' simple. You are basicly forcing them to play with you, dont complain then if you get shot after a while. If he was a true bandit, he would have killed you right away.

    It's funny how it's always the people who get shot who go on the forums and cry about being killed and that bandits should be penalised, while at the same time talk about maturity. If you cant see the irony in this, then you have bigger problems than getting killed in a video game.

    Killing players has been intended since day 1 since friendly fire is enabled, deal with it. It's not going to change.

    But they did shoot me straight away. I never scouted them, I ran right up to them exclaimed friendly while most of them were in a building pre-occupied with something else clearly unarmed. If they didn't want me they could easily say "Alright, now go away".

    I think its that your coming off strange.Most people see each other and go their speerate ways.You are trying to convince them your friendly and if they have seen any of the bandit Youtube griefer videos they know where that ends.

    Why is it strange though, back on the initial release this was the norm to do when you encountered another player.

    This isn't a rant thread, this is purely a research thread that I hope from it's contents I can learn a little something:

    The Experiment:

    Every time I spawn, I wouldn't seek out any items, nor weapons. My objective was simple: To find another player along the coast, and make friendly contact with him. 8 times, 8 times in a row this happened, and I'd like to know why:

    I'd approach a player with nothing in hands, clearly unarmed, and obviously the player could kill me if he wished to in the time it took me to draw a weapon if he so speculated that much. I'd claim friendly, type it out, do everything in my power through direct chat (which works now mind you) to make it clear of my intentions, but I am immediately shot at or killed.

    Now mind you, I'm not mad, I am sincerely curious as to why those of you out there do this? You can see I am unarmed, and odds are since I am along the coast all I have is the starting gear of a bandage, a painkiller, and a flashlight. So, why does this happen?
