Sistinas1973 50 Posted February 27, 2014 Ok, so I'm new around here. Been playing SA for about 2 weeks now. To quickly preface, the first real character I met, meaning someone who has been on a while and was geared up, KOS'ed me from range. I never saw the guy. That was unsettling. Fast forward a few days....I've been heavily reading the forums to get the gist of how everything works in game and of course you can guess I've surmised that you should trust no one, and take no chances. So today, I log in near the NE airfield on a 0/30 pop HC server, which is where I had left off the night before. I decided to make a quick sweep of the airfield before heading west. I pretty much ransacked the whole area. Once I got to the last building, I did a quick check to see if anyone has logged on. 3 people showed up. This took place all within a span of 5 min so if someone was actually here, they were either a server hopper, or someone like me who logged off/back in for another session, coincidentally at the same area....hmmm, really? I passed the notion out of mind and proceeded to head back out of the last building I was in. Well, wouldn't you know, as I exit and turn to the left, I'm face to face with a full military geared out guy. Two thoughts entered my mind as the flash of gun fire erupted from my M4, the first guy to KOS me, and every negative thing I've read on the forum. Suffice to say I sprayed that guy with about 15 rounds. Now, it wasn't the killing of this guy that unnerved me, it was what he said while I took a look at his gear to see what he had. He sounded like a teenager, perhaps 14 to 17 years old and he just kept saying, "no, no, why did you kill me?" Over and over. "Please don't take my stuff" was drumming in my ears as I inspected his corps. I felt so bad (he was almost crying) that I didn't have the heart to take his stuff. He was geared out to the gills, let me tell you so I was pretty sure he was server hopping to gear up. I don't know, I just wanted to say that never have I played an online game and had this type of reaction. I've mainly been playing mmo's for over 15 years and they don't give anything even remotely resembling the rush you get from running into another player/person like you do in DayZ. I ran to the southern building away from the airfield and logged out to contemplate what I had done. I'm sorry dude. Casualty of the apocalypse I guess.

SpudGun (DayZ) 13 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) First off how did you know the first guy was all geared when you didn't see him? Anyways, had a similar experience myself, caught off guard at close proximity, in a pvp hotspot, at night aswell. I ended up blasting the guy with a shotty as he screamed "friendly please don't ki...".Too late. Made me feel real bad for a while.

Rudette 435 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) The squeak-teen voice only means he would have teabagged/YOLO/hashtagged/dubstepped on your grave before running off with your stuff if given the chance. Don't feel bad for shooting someone.....-coughs- in a video game. <.< ..Humans are all duplicitous insipid self-serving things.

Sistinas1973 50 Posted February 28, 2014 You bring up a good point, one I learned early on. Aside from my story above, I play with a buddy. We had to start coordinating and calling out, "exiting from the left," or entering red building to your right." We 've come very close on several occasions almost KOS' ing each other in the heat of the moment, or one of us loosing our bearings and second guessing who that guy is running down the street.
