So, i have been playing DayZ for about 3 weeks now, and im really frustrated about the Kill-On-Sight-type of gameplay that about 80% of the gamers use... Its impossible to be friendly AND survive long if your on your own. Sadly, every time I try to ask people to join me and make a team, they kill me before i can even say a word. And if i magically can join a team, many of the people in it are bandits and also Kill-On-Sight-people... So is it just me, or is there still people who would rather die and start a new journey on the coast, than shoot someone in the head and leave them bleeding to death while you loot his corpse? Like i said, i have played for 3 weeks now, almost every day, and i have only killed 1 person at the entire period... How did it happen: I was walking around in Cherno, my first or second week of playing, id been playing for about 5 minutes. I had just looted some supplies from the International Hotel, and was moving towards the bar/restaurant besides the Town Hall. Suddenly, a survivor appears from behind the Town Hall running away from a horde of zombies chasing him. He had an axe, and i know that he would be knocked unconscious before he could take out even half of the zeds behind him. I make a quick 180 degree turn and run after him back to the International Hotel with the hungry horde between us. He runs to the entrance and starts to hit the zombies with the axe. I run around the zombies to the entrance and pull my M1911 out. The zombies swarm in front of the entrance, blocking the way out. We are trapped inside with only an axe and a pistol... I aim at the horde, and pull the trigger... I don't even try to aim at a single zed, i just shoot as fast as i can out of the entrance at the wall of hungry cannibal freaks, not knowing if i had killed someone or not... I shoot fast, and see some of the zeds fall in to the ground, but i don't have time to think about it, magazine runs empty, and i reload as quickly as i can. When i aim again, i can see small gaps between the zeds, and it gives me hope for a way out. I keep on shooting. I see the rotten corpses fall to the ground one by one, until finally, the entrance is clear... The survivor besides me looks at the bodies, while i try to find out how much ammo did i use. Then i turn to him and ask: ''Do you need anything?'' He replies by using the chat: ''Kill me'' I just sit there shocked not understanding anything... After few second i ask: ''Why?'' He answers: ''I am almost dead already, kill me and take my gear.'' I just saved this persons life... and he asks me to kill him? I just stand there for a while till i say: ''I do not kill people, im friendly.'' ''Im asking you!'' He answers. I look at him for a while, take a deep breath, and pull the trigger. *BANG*! He falls in to the ground and i can see the blood shooting out from the bullet hole in the middle of his forehead. I look at his gear and take some supplies including an empty revolver. Then I hide the body so that the flies could not eat him. I stand up, and walk away. Later, when im at the Cherno apartments, i climb to the roof to look at the surroundings, when i get shot in the head, and then the well known sign: ''YOU ARE DEAD'' appears. I can imagine that someone went to that same rooftop couple minutes later and collected the gear from the body of a friendly and blue-eyed beginner... All i can say is, i bet that me and my unknown friend had a better gameplay fighting off zombies together for 2 mins, than that bandit sniper hiding in the outskirts had in a month... Its not just about surviving, its about how you survive. So i might just get loads of posts about how im a looser and a wiener, but im just asking... is there anyone out there who feels the same and would like to team up with me? My Steam-name is: ''Emperor of Finland'' And my in-game name is: ''Make'' Sorry if English isn't so good its not my native language... And remember, if you bump in to me online, don't shoot! Im ALWAYS friendly. If i shoot at you, then it is not me but someone who uses the same in-game name... Have a good journey, and stay in one piece!
