InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 8, 2014 For clarification, I never wanted to KoS, but it just happened; I just got blood on my fireaxe. I was running near cherno area and I came right up behind a guy that was prone. I looked at his pack and despite never seeing his gun, I decided he had one otherwise why was he sitting here prone (it did not make sense) I was right up on him before I had even seen him myself and I decided he was going to notice me before I got away. Quite honestly, I had gotten here on accident, only moments before I realized it was morning when for the last hour (rough estimate) I had thought it was afternoon. I had run from Gorka to Cherno, on accident! Now I was going to brave Balota, before heading the "true" north. After wasting that much time, I was sprinting because I just want to be north at this point. I have no back pack, but there is a point after looking, that you know it is just time to be heading north. It is amazing how fast the mind works. It took only a matter of seconds to equip my axe, after an internal discussion that involved assessing the threat followed by a decision of fight or flight. I was actually planning on just going down with a fight instead of getting shot in the back as I tried to retreat. My victim was more willing to help me out than I had expected. He had a magnum and seemed like he could not hit me as I circled around him swinging as fast as I could, then I think he was trying to pull out an M4 as the last blow landed sending him to the ground. Sorry bro, I really felt bad about it, and if I had come up on you from the other direction, you would have put me down way before I had the chance. Hopefully you will get me next time. All your stuff got ruined, but I am going to hold onto it until I get some upgrades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 8, 2014 about it, and if I had come up on you from the other direction, you would have put me down way before I had the chance. Thats the KoS mentality, I run around cherno with an m4, but I'm a medic, not a bandit, try talk to people first, there are plently of building to hide in and use direct chat.....

Loafy 46 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) fresh spawn me came running to two guys with m4s no big deal they were heading to elektro im like "hey hows it going" "elektro pretty full of bandits" bam the one guy spins around and shoots me... I could really care less as a fresh spawn haha. But these two commandos are planning on taking elektro on a full server. Get real. I just wanted to say hi but it is apparent the quality of the community has taken a serious downward spiral. This game relys on player interaction. What to do when no one interacts with strangers. I'm gonna kill on sight and yell profanities the whole time im trying to beat you to death unarmed. Edited January 8, 2014 by Loafy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KoS has been around since then and will stay around as long as the game is running from what I can tell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InflatedLyric 39 Posted January 8, 2014 Thats the KoS mentality, I run around cherno with an m4, but I'm a medic, not a bandit, try talk to people first, there are plently of building to hide in and use direct chat..... Perhaps, but I never go prone unless I am crawling under something or hiding in an everygreen and looking at the map or something, but even in evergreens I prefer to kneel. As I ran up on him, my thought was he was either stalking prey waiting for his shot or camping a popular spot looking for players. I do not know the map that well. Maybe everyone else likes to go prone in a small grove of trees in the middle of the pvp capital. I stick with sprinting, might get me noticed, but at least I am getting out of there asap. I thought of calling out to him, but like it was said before if I let him know I am there, he has the upper hand with weapons that fire! I was not exactly a fresh spawn, I was expecting to die though. I could use someone to tell me if my mic even works. Never played with anyone before. I did try talking for the first time today, but after I saw one person I just said hey, didn't hear anything back went to loot a house and another dude came out with a bat, I just kept going in and he chased me back in, swinging the bat. I played him like a zombie and swam around him and ran back out the door and then he targeted the other guy as I ran off to find some loot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjacalypse 551 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) He had a magnum and seemed like he could not hit me as I circled around him swinging as fast as I could When I run, I serpentine. It's hilarious how many people play this game like it's a mainstream FPS twitch shooter, shooting on full auto and can't hit the broadside of a barn to save their life. I ran away from a guy shooting at me once, he was shooting at...I don't know what...and then he ran out of bullets...and I circled back and beat him to death with a shovel.

Twice was me getting KoS, the other three were people I saw from a distance and just avoided. I have mentioned all three encounters from today in this thread. Today was a gift for understanding how I feel while under attack and attacking too. I might still shoot dirt if I get in an engagement tomorrow, but I guarantee I would have been yesterday. I have had moments with zombies were I just have to stop and ask wtf am I doing. Panicking is not good for my aim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
