Greaves 131 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) I never shoot people without communicating first, unless i see them unloading a clip on fresh spawns. But 'tis surprising how few people have actually communicated back to me so far. When i hold armed players up, and tell them (always voice chat) to not move or i'll shoot, about 80% simply move and get shot. Not a word. And when i walk up to unarmed players and ask them a question, most of them don't respond. They just walk away. A simple hello would be nice. I thought communication was a core element in DayZ?

Greaves 131 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) My gun does the talking. So you would rather die than communicate with me, if i hold you up? Why not play Battlefield then? There you wont have to bother getting your gear back. Edited January 6, 2014 by Greaves 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whothehellishe 81 Posted January 6, 2014 Whoever says he aint got a mic he just having a laugh, who on earth has not got a mic in 2014, my desktop mic costs like 5 euros. Still i never shoot them if the run, i just want a friendly convo with the intention to help, i dont bloodbag and shit, just looking to exchange experiences, but noooooooooooooo. Well i might start shooting at the legs me thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gotta say, this is the first time I've ever heard anyone complain because people just walk away without talking. Look on the bright side, at least you're not being attacked / shot by everyone you meet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raynor009 204 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) So you want me to let you know when I kill you? You want me to alert others of presence? No thanks. I'll just kill you with my revolver and gtfo before anyone comes looking. Ask yourself this: Would a hitman or assassin warn his target that he's about to die to have time to react? No. What you people are asking is stupid. Some people might say something first and someone like me won't. They will just do it and be done with, no talking, no insults, no problem ;).

Ekemos 4 Posted January 6, 2014 I was a fresh spawn a few days ago, walking around Elektro, when 2 guys start yelling at me from top of the school, tell me to stop and get on the ground, tell me to drop my gun, I follow their instructions and then I just hear a gunshot and everything goes black, why tell me to drop my stuff just to kill me ... :( 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greaves 131 Posted January 6, 2014 So you want me to let you know when I kill you? You want me to alert others of presence? No thanks. I'll just kill you with my revolver and gtfo before anyone comes looking. I notice a lot of people here just assume they see me before i see them. This is not always the case. So i ask again, do those people prefer to die rather than communicating, and possibly getting away with your life? It seems pretty stupid. At least try to talk your way out and betray me, like a proper bandit. Although i try to do everything to prevent this, ofcourse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your victim has not seen you why would you risk giving away your position and potentially letting him escape or log out. Why would a fully geared guy pussy out instead of fighting? I have tried communicating but some people won't respond or don't know English or will just pretend they will not shoot you and soon as you turn your back ratatatatat dead. And please don't assume if someone is an asshole in game he is also in real life. Some guys are just ruthless like that.

The first few times I put it down to some rouge shooter off in the distance getting a lucky shot on me before the other people did, but now I am not as arogent. People are assholes. I guess that's life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the game is not about killing? I simply dont want to shoot everyone. I'll play Battlefield if i want that. So heres the situation. I see you looting an airfield, and sneak up to where you are, without you seeing me. I tell you not to move, or i shoot. What do you do? Move and die? Or have a conversation with me, and possibly live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And he might probably repeat, that he does not want to shoot these people in the first place.Luckily not everybody is KOS addicted maniac you know? I wish bandis were more creative and not just pussies, who rather shoot on sight instead of making some effort to hold people up, rob them and leave them cuffed, but alive. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surving means do everything it takes to survive even if that means killing other humans. It happend soo many times both in the mod and the standalone. I would shout at people to stop or put their guns down and he will just log out, goodbye. Edited January 6, 2014 by raynor009 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt even mind if they still killed them afterwards, and i dont even mind people who kill unarmed players in some cases, because there are probably ruthless people in the world like that. If this didnt exist, i didnt have anything to hunt in DayZ. All i ask for is for people to speak when spoken to, or asked a question. Keeps it fun.

raynor009 204 Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Well then lets make a few things clear then. People who subdue their targets, robs them, and lets them leave after are Bandits. People who kill with no warning or any apparent reason are murderers. ====I totally agree with what KoS said. I like the way you think bro.
