Disgraced

You know, it's funny. One time, early on, I was shot... by a person wearing a bandit skin. After that, the only other time I was PKed was by a sniper shot, to the head, with no challenge and no interaction. Just. slap.. dead. I don't hold truck with the assumption that everyone will shoot me. The reason I don't believe it is that this has NOT been my experience. People have helped me. We've shared ammo. We've worked together. Sometimes with voice comms, sometimes not. But I am RARELY shot at by another character called survivor. I have SEEN only a few bandits. In each case, they were jerks attacking other players. Once, one ran past me... You know what I did? I watched from the weeds and let him pass. He would not have afforded me the same courtesy. I don't think you are better players. I think you are bigger a-holes. I don't think that the bandit skins should be removed from the game. I don't think PKing should be limited in any way, but the only way I will PK is the way I have done it the ONE TIME I have been forced to. If I see you attack another player, unprovoked, I will do my best to kill you... It's just what I think should be done. L

Seems simple, to me. Playing on a private or locked server results in that player being kept off of the public servers.

I like the count, I do. I'm thinking different and feeling much more hardscrabble. Of course, I have only been playing since Saturday. I haven't experienced the supposedly insane spawn timer, but I was lying low, near the train tracks east of Elektro, when out of nowhere about ten Zeds appeared and raced off east in a line. I didn't like that they spawned 'out of nowhere'. If I had been 30 meters closer to the sea, I'd have been dead meat with no warning. But I THINK that rocket has acknowledged that spawn timers and locations need some tweeks, non?

Looks fantastic and the performance has skyrocketed!!!!

Well... It wasn't working for us on Sunday, but worked on Saturday. This morning, I had a series of hair-raising encounters with a couple people, and we were easily communicating on Direct.... L

Bandits. After starting the game, two of us we're just getting used to how to move around. We had found some small goods and killed a Zed or two. As we exited out the back of a house, this guy in a mask popped out from behind a shed and shot us both. After that, I found out what bandits are and decided that I will kill them if I can. Just today, I was watching a small group of buildings for a hillside, seeing what was going on down below. Here comes a survivor. Foolishly, I thought, he was runniing very close to the outskirts. Just as he passes a large, barn-like building, out pops a bandit and a gunfight ensues. The unsuspecting survivor was killed. That made me angry. I know that PKing is part of the game, but one good turn deserves another. I startedto slouch down the hillside as the bandit was busy looting his kill. I was certainly lucky. I hid for a moment behind a concrete wall, watching him through a window. Just as I was running around, charging him in hopes of a kill, around the far corner came not one, not two, but three Zeds. They fell upon him as I aimed for his head and fired a couple of rounds, raking my pistol down as I did so. He didnt stand a chance. I backed off as the Zeds descended on his bleeding form. I shot each one carefully from a moderate distance and then swooped in, looting his rifle and other gear. I liked it. It felt good to do to him as he had unsuspectingly done to another player. My humanity didn't suffer the tiniest bit. If I someone kill another player like that, I will do what I can to kill him in return. Call it a mission..... L
