Feeling remorseful...

You can't really know about this aspect of DayZ, until you commit your first unprovoked murder.

[Mdogg2005 447]

You sir, are a douche.

 

This.... Why the fuck would you kill him?  After taking his own time to make sure you were safe and had sufficient supplies to survive, you chopped him with an axe?  Seriously not cool.

 

Though as others said, at least you felt like a turd after.

It's behaviour such as this that makes those of us who would like to help others turn into KOS'ers. I have learned quite quickly to not trust anyone in this game unless you know who they are IRL.

[infiltrator 275]

Wow. I mean, I am in a KOS mood a lot of the time, but I'll never backstab someone who's helped me, not if he had the most amazing gear ever. There's nothing that "came over you" apart from what you really are - a douche.

This wasn't unprovoked murder. KoS is unprovoked murder. I do those daily and don't feel one bit of regret. This was Judas level betrayal.

Agreed.  And damn that's probably the harshest way you can say that.

I feel terrible about the crime I committed tonight. I met a very nice and cheerful guy at the Rify boat who was fairly well armed and asked my bambi self if I needed anything. I desperately needed food so he opened up a few cans for me and I ate until content. He told me he would escort me and help me find some equipment in Berezino so I gratefully accepted.

 

While we were on our jog to the city, we exchanged a few words and got to know each other a little bit. He found me a back pack and a fire axe along with a water bottle and some canned tuna. He killed a few zombies that snuck up on me and asked me if I was okay. He decided I should find a well to fill up my water bottle and said we needed to get somewhere safe so he could look at his map.

 

As I sat there watching his still body, something came over me. I took my fire axe out and hacked him down. After I took his weapons and gear, I felt absolutely terrible. I had to log off and collect my bearings. How could a game emotionally drain someone like this? 

 

Whoever you were, I am sorry.

Well... since you're not carrying the burden, you don't get to decide how heavy it is.

Would you guys consider this worse than server hopping? Considering I stayed within the formula of the game to gear up rather than exploit it?

What you did was perfectly fine.  Well within the rules of play. We all have that 'wtf did I just do' feeling every now and again...

I felt embarrassed for yourself just by reading that.. please refrain from posting things like that publically, for your own sake.

 

I am not deciding what his burden is, he is. Me? I'm saying what the burden looks like from my perspective. There you go.

Yes, that is worse than server hopping.  You should go jump off the roof of the tallest building you come across ASAP.

That's like saying "Would you consider me having sex with your sister worse than having sex with your mom?"

A few nights ago a buddy and I were a top Berezino Construction yard. From below we heard some saying "hey, hi, oh wow a hammer. Oh wow a hacksaw" and other noobish things. I take that as bait.

He continued up to is and we told him to hold it, if he comes out we will gun him down. He continued to tell us he just got the the game, he's looking for food, if he can hang with us. Sadly it's the same song I've heard a million times before from newbies and Bambis looking to kill me.

I then say "type your steam name in chat, I'm going to check your hours, if I see a reasonable newbie amount you can join our TS and hang out with us, if I see 200 hours , I'm going to come in and gun you down" next thing we hear is running back down the stairs... We continued down the the bottem floor and found he fell off and died going down the stairs of the construction site.

tl;dr: id of shot you probably op

That's uh, that's pretty cold man. You trip Girl Scouts when they run out of thin mints to?

From a game morality standpoint, server hopping is worse because it's exploiting the game.

 

From a social morality standpoint, what you did was horrible, but that's kind of what makes the game good so I'd say server hopping is worse overall. 

 

Server hoppers would prob never run into this situation because they bypass the need for it by getting geared up without actually playing the game.

I just dont understand how it's possible even doing this, I couldn't... I know its just a game but I guess I was raised morally and ethically proper.

Server hoppers serve two purposes though:

 

1. Devs have to make changes to the game so it doesn't accomodate for such behavior. Their persistence means that their job is not yet done with the 5 min timer, which is good.

2. They feed me weapons, ammunition, food and clothes. Every time I kill them, I approach their body and whisper how sad it is they had to server hop into my sights..

 

I honestly think they're just power hungry but they don't need to do a morally unjust thing to do it. You may look at it like a morally unjust thing from an exploiters point of view but then again this is alpha and now is the time to do it so it doesn't happen later.

 

On the other hand, what this guy did.. pfff, like I said, I've killed so many times, but never a guy that was good to me.

So much hate for this guy... I on the other hand applaud you for killing that guy and there is no need for remorse. Things like this are what helps make DayZ the awesome game that it is.

Because what you do in a video game reflects what type of person you are?

It does reflect what kind of person you are when you interact with other people, especially given this kind of context.

[rickyriot 1009]

Personally I am disappointed....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...not that OP killed a bambi that had been nice to him, but that he didn't deck out his body with loot and leave him as bait to entice other bambies to the slaughter.
