I was told everyone will kill you ...wrong !

Recommended Posts

I was confronted on the sea shore after just starting by a well-equipped player - I was carrying my flashlight and instead of waving to him i raised the flashlight and he thought it was a gun and popped me - after he realized, he patched me up, gave me meds and food and some advice ...then he left. So it looks like there's vets who will still lend a hand despite the hair trigger un-trusting types. Love the game.

He probably felt guilty or dumb for wasting your bambi-a**. 

Not everyone out there is a 10yo sociopath.

I apologize. :)

 

Being a heartless bastard has indeed no age limits.

I met both, and their attitude depended on our location.

 

Cherno, Elektro, Berezino, airfields....no one was talking, everyone was shooting.

 

But everywhere else inland, small towns or wilderness, everyone is much more friendly.

I've never met a geared person in game who was friendly, I met one guy with a mosin (and not much else) who literally ran past screaming "don't shoot me I don't want trouble", and one small group of semi-geared (basic civ clothing and a couple basic civ guns, don't think they had ammo) who said hello then went on their way, but apart from them everyone I've met has either been a bandit or a bambi who couldn't fight me if they tried (and a couple have tried lol),

 

it annoys me a little because I'm usually a very friendly person to people I meet and I'd like to have a positive interaction with someone who isn't only being nice because I have a gun in my hands.

It seems as the game is progressing, less and less people are being assholes, to pt it bluntly.

We tried that yesterday - 40 secs later the same guy comes swinging after us with an axe.

I've met all sorts of players. Many have been friendly. Many not. Sometimes I'm hostile. It depends.

My team and I were running down the east coast the other day on a moderately populated server.  We were, admittedly, looking for fresh spawns to either toy with or help out (we're not sadistic bastards, but it is a little fun to give people a fright, but not murder them).  We stopped one guy, and while we were talking we noticed a small horde of people running up the coast.  We told the bambi to book it, and a few minutes later 8 mostly geared players ran up on us.  Instead of starting a massive firefight we started talking to them.  A minute later we parted ways, neither of us wanting to cause trouble except against bandits, and everyone lived!  None of us were expecting to survive an encounter with such a large group.

I've met more friendly people than bandits

 

In the short time I've played I've been shot and killed twice by stalkers and have met two friendly players. My last friend broke "her" legs on a three foot fall. I had nothing to help her with and was too stupid to mercy kill them as they asked. After giving her some food and sodas I left. That was during my 2nd ever log on... Afterwards, I realized that I only doomed her to a lingering death.

David's if you're reading this, I'm sorry.

 

Sometimes when I'm a fresh spawn and have nothing to lose, I like to zombie-bait. Get their aggro and play tag. This game usually ends badly for me. I guess the undead are not interested in being friendly.

Im still looking for a friendly. Even when i approach them with hands up they still kill me. I have a full backpack, he has a full backpack, why the fuck would you shoot for? I respawned in elektro and decided to give a full server a go since i had nothing to loose. Oh my god, was it a fucking mess, people were running around like headless chooks, everyone punching everyone. A great game, but fuckwit players, who seem to be playing the game for wrong reasons completely. Maybe had something to do with all the voices i heard were 15yos or younger.

Check this out. Though the clips are mostly from the DayZ Mod, he makes some great observations about the SA version and getting the most out of the game as opposed to just going for the throat. That's around 3 minutes into the clip.

That clip is from August last year. Don't like his voice much, but that might be his slightly condescendig undertone.

This is a game and everybody is doing one thing - having fun. It´s just that having fun is killing others/helping others/gearing up. You like to help? Do so. Want to kill somebody, goddamn hell yeah! DO SO! Again - this is a game and it´s so pointless to talk about KoS or friendly players. We have some people on this forum which say something like "Hey bandits, how can you carry so much blood on your hands" You know... When I read such bullshit I must laugh. They do not have any blood on their hands, all they do is - having fun. So have fun or stfu
