mosibfu 71 Posted March 2, 2014 Well today I joined my friend from the Philippines on an Australian hardcore server, I am from Holland so I had about 350 ping. I was still a fresh spawn there, so I gathered some food.. but couldn't find anything sharp to open it.. I did find some power lines, thus i ended up in Elektro.. Shortly thereafter i had a fire-axe, Mosin+scope+bipod, I almost looted the entire city of Elektro without getting shot, at the last building I entered, the hospital thing, I heard a sound. I'm not the kind of guy that goes looking for trouble, so I decided to make a run for it.. Once outside I ran towards the west, out of the town. When I looked behind me, I saw an armed woman on the roof.. I did not want to get sniped so I took a defensive position... Next thing I know, the lady, dressed in mostly grey/black clothing + SKS, decided to go down the ladder. At this point I was not sure if she was alone.. So i took some shots and killed her, I could not risk a firefight because of lag. If you were this lady that got shot off a ladder on an Australian server, I am truly sorry, I normally don't shoot people like that. But this time, for me, it felt like I had no choice, you did not see me, but you might have seen me a bit later, and you could have shot 4 rounds before the effect of those shots would appear on my screen. I wish you the best of luck getting geared up again. -Mosibfu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddmankiller 14 Posted March 2, 2014 If you didn't want to shoot her, and she didn't know you were there, then why didn't you just run away/hide. *facepalm*You scared little bambis that shoot anything on sight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko2580 398 Posted March 2, 2014 lol so she dies because you're on a server half way around the world with massive ping? Nice one! :thumbsup: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosibfu 71 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) i ran from the elektro hospital to the west, apart from the thing i was hiding behind (wich was too small to actually hide me when crouched) , also running could have worked if that didnt make sound, she was coming down towards me. If there was not nearly half a second between me and the server, I would have tried to come to a more peaceful resolution, like i usually do. lol so she dies because you're on a server half way around the world with massive ping? Nice one! :thumbsup: Umm yes basicly she did, thats the downside of making friends on DayZ that come from all over the place.. Shortly thereafter my friend quit, and i went on an european server, for decent ping Edited March 2, 2014 by mosibfu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can play alone. :p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antonioajc 500 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) It's no sin for killing someone on DayZ. Rather, it is a rite of passage. Congratulations, you're officially, a DayZ Survivor. Beans are on me- FUCK! Oops, sorry, butter fingers I guess... What a waste of fine beans. Edited March 2, 2014 by AntonioAJC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbilschooler 229 Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, the ping between the EU and AU is outrageous. I can play pretty decent with my mates in Australia from here in America where we can usually find a server that we can get 150 or less ping on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarascon 50 Posted March 2, 2014 You did what you felt was necessary for your survival. It's what DayZ is about. Survival, I say, not killing sprees. It wasn't a sin (who knows what sort of a KOS bandit psycho she was before she fresh spawned). What is nice is that you didn't become hardened by your action. Remorse shows a healthy conscience... it means you haven't lost your humanity. And, yessssssssssssss. Cthulhu forgives you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxScTbIUvoA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a soul crushing experience since I was fully geared too Edited March 2, 2014 by Highlander007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosibfu 71 Posted March 2, 2014 Ty forum, i really felt bad at the time, i knew i had no choice but it goes against my nature to kill unprovoked. Putting it on here helped a little, and your supportive replies saying i did nothing wrong helped as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
