A cabin and the swamp....

[combatcomm1 234]

Some people.... There I am sitting (litterally in the sitting animation) at the cabin by the swamp in one of the US West servers enjoying the beach and drinking a beer waiting for some new spawns to roll up so I could hook them up with bandages. (In my opinion the most nessecary items for survival) I hear somebody to my right and coming up the creaky dock is a standard new spawn with a helmet on. I get up and announce im friendly. 

 

Now, I have an M4 with shit ton of ammo, Axe, vest, beanie, camo pants, the works. You'd think when I say "Friendly here, whatsup man?" a dude with nothing but his bare fist would stop. But nooooooo dude wants some! Serious KoSer bandit I assume who just got it handed to him and is a new spawn. He pulls out a WRENCH! LMAO Yes, A wrench and comes at me like a banshee! I still dont want to shoot him and try to manuever but end up dropping off the dock and getting stuck between the cabin and dock. 

 

I couldent believe I was going to get pummeled to death by a wrench. He tries to take advantage of my situation and comes at me. At this point I have no choice but to shoot. All my rounds hit the dock in front of me but at this point he knew I meant buisness. He runs off around the cabin. I finnaly end up going prone and under the dock and go around the corner to find him cowering in the reeds. 

 

Right before I pump 10 rounds into his chest, I say "Really dude? Really? Piece of shit! I was trying to be friendly!" Hopefully it taught him a lesson. On the other hand, most likely not. Just let this be a warning to assholes and wrench rushers, justice will be served. If this was you. Chime in. Id love to hear your side of this encounter. No matter how dick it was.

I've had a bunch of similer encounters lately. Most players who have some gear are more willing to be friendly.

 

Yesterday i force-fed disinfectant spray to a sniper in cherno abd ran... and got away with it!

Welcome to DayZ. Had the exact same thing happen. Picking up some food when a guy somehow sneaks up behind me with a wrench and starts beating me with it. He probably got 2-3 hits on me before i finally managed to exit out of the menus and pull my m4 on him. I learned my lesson there. Never run with an m4, always be cautious.

I low crawl EVERYWHERE I go, minus areas where its safer to run crouched. Its slow and sometimes boring but I always get to observe enemies and get the drop on most people if necessary. I love stealth.

I like your style, Victor.

I was just spawned a minute ago and I see a guy with t-shirt and pants running towards me fists raised. So we have a little fist fight and I knock him down. We both lost health and if he had won he would have gained nothing. Honestly, I don't understand some people at all.

Rule number one of the DayZ: if you just spawned, death ain't a biggie.

 

I don't like that often being the viewpoint, but that's something no game mechanic in the world can fix.

*Sees person armed with a baseball bat*

 

*Puts axe away*

 

Me: Hello

 

*Player proceeds to walk up to me, beating me with said baseball bat*

 

*Casually takes axe out again, and starts chopping at them*

 

*Player logs out*

 

Sigh. This kind of shit is always going to happen in DayZ

Not really, if there had been a combat logging timeout he would have sat there while you chopped him to bits and the next time he logged in he would be on the coast with a new spawn. I have faith in this game.....I have hope that the community and culture will change when certain mechanics are introduced. This game is ever molding, ever changing, and so the culture and community will change with it.

Running around with 5 ppl at the shore from berezino to elektro(we wanted to clear out the hospitals since we were in dire need of meds). New spawn comes running towards us. "Hey man, we are friendly". Guy talks and is nice, we give him food, say bye, go our way again. About 30sec later someone mentions that the guy is still behind us, so we stop to ask what he wants. (all of us at this point had m4s and mosins, all loaded with weapon mods and ammo etc). Guy starts running around, circling us all, punching us in the faces. We gave him about 5 warnings, he didnt stop. Shot him. When he died, he called us douches for killing an unarmed person. Some ppl...

24hr deathban.

 

Fixed.

24hr deathban.

 

Fixed.

Wow, I like that. Its preatty heavy, but deffinately would work. It would fix KoS too for sure. People wouldent want to risk it. But good luck selling that to the devs. I personally like the idea.

Haha yeah, the community would be in uproar if that shit ever saw the light of day. But, it would work in a closed server environment. I wish more communities would embrace the hardcore aspect of dayz.
