F*CK all the players!

I had a fucking M16 and a Remington. I was in elektro stopping by to get food at the supermarket. I usually shoot on sight but this guy runs in unarmed with many zed after him. i kill them all. He follows me for a bit and salutes to me to acknowledge his "trust". I give him M1014 ammo and we carry on. About 5 min later he shoots me while im eating to raise my blood. chat was disabled and so was his name :(

ASSHOLES!

I keep telling myself to always shoot on sight, but sometimes i just can't do it! Someone please encourage me to being a rutheless killing man!

if you can't vocally talk to someone, don't team up with them. if they're following you anyways, kill them.

think smarter

I've been shot by someone i could vocally talk to before...soooo don't trust anyone (:. Problem solved ;D.

Not shooting on sight is ok. Not shooting him when he began to follow you with no comunication was where you went wrong. Sorry you got shot in the back by a coward though.

Yeah..... im just tired of being killed by douchebags like that... i feel bad when i kill someone that looks innocent, but im doing it from now on

That's cold blooded. I know exactly how you feel. I was killed 5 times by people I had came across and helped before I turned stone cold. Sometimes I make the choice to just lurk and watch someone stock up on supplies and avoid the issue altogether. I have helped and been helped by some really cool people. It's rare though. Be highly suspicious of anyone and best thing to do is play with ur friends or have backup to discourage this from happening. I play with 6-7 friends at a time some nights. It's awesome. Our presence alone stops us from being fired on sometimes. Steam me sometime "@rtstarrr"

People like that killed me 3-4 times before i realized that i can't trust random strangers.

I don't shoot on sight, but if can talk to you i'll just keep distance. If you try to get close, then i'll shoot.

If it was me I would have been grateful for your help, and tried to repay it. But that mentality is a rarity. Personally I think when the bandit enrages the survivor enough to become a bandit themselves, their domination over you is complete. But I can't blame anyone for surrendering to the baser instincts.

Dont kill on sight.... just don't help people. I dont kill but I let people know im not friedly.... Friendly* wtf... Anyways... unleash your inner animal. You don't see bear's, fox, coyote's, and coons runnin aroun in the daylight all fun and friendly for a reason. They eat one another. When they DO Bump into each other they hiss bark and bitch till one backs off or they fight till one runs or dies. Damn.... Only hicks are gonna live the Apocalypse. We know woods, Animals, Guns, Survival. Shit.

[Disgraced 1123]

I am shoot on "almost sight"

If I see you, and you don't see me for a few moments, and I talk in direct comms and you don't answer... I will be forced to kill you.

Too many times, I watched someone approach or derp around a building, and I wait too long and they shoot me. If I have the advantage, and I can't get your attention before you point your weapon at me... I will shoot.

Sounds like something I would do... OH WAIT! I did.

I couldn't take a guy seriously that is named "FecalSlash".

That sucks, he is clearly a real dick. However, use smarts and basic psychology, and don't give up on humanity. I honestly would have been loyal and helpful if you saved my ass like that.

Psychology - voice is absolutely key to building trust, if you can get someone talking, build a rapport, they are less likely to betray you. Simple truth. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, but if you are a half-decent judge of character, you can often tell what someone will be like from their voice and manner of speech. I have been more often than not right about back-stabbing bastards from their mannerisms, in real life and in game. Try it. Also, play with a group if possible, greatly increases long-term survival and lessens likelihood of betrayal as the potential coward would have to face more than one person.

Why are you so attached to your gear. You will find it again and unfortunately people are going to be like that, whenever I come across someone and I have good gear I always keep my gun trained on them and watch for suspicious behavior.

This is the problem with Day Z...there is no actual connection to other players. Everyone is just "that one survivor with the hat and backpack"

[Virfortis 111]

At the end of the day, DayZ is all about how many people you kill. Survival is a mundane thing, and zombie killing is a waste of ammo. Killing players and watching them legitimately express their outrage at an amazing title being killed by one-track minds is all there is to do anymore.

[fml 29]

And why' date=' please oh sweet mother tell me why. Why for one single motherfucking second do you think that the game should help you clean up the ridiculous mess that is your game play by holding your hand and pointing out in giant red letters who you need to avoid and who you can go charging past like a mutt in heat in search of your next eminent and inevitable demise at the hands of zombies.

If you're going to play the game like a bloody idiot, please don't come knocking on rocket's door asking for help. Take the diaper off, grab your favorite soda, sit down, and try really hard to play DayZ again.

....for the sake of the forums and the future of this game, just shut up and click respawn.

LOL hit the nail on the head with that one Powell.

No, there are connections, you just have to make them. I've made friends with many people in game, when they quite easily could have killed me.

That's a good way to kill the game, accepting that it's just a deathmatch like every other FPS and keep going.

Shows you care about making a better game.

Thats why i roll solo. the other day i noticed a guy running away from 2 infected. i killed both of them, he thanked me and wanted to team up. i simply said im sorry but i dont team up, i did you a solid and saved your life, but if you follow me i wont think twice about shooting you. You simply just cant trust people. the other day i was raiding an apartment when all of a sudden i heard 2 people talking. it was two guys who had just met on the street, they decided to team up. i followed them for a bit, because i was curious. after a while they both decided them now that they're a team, they should start killing survivors. If i didn't have a cheap pistol i would have just shot them both right there.

I know right, thats what I'm saying. But the mods don't seem to care how negatively ZedsDeadBaby impacts the future of the game.

also, i didnt write that, you edited that to make it look like i wrote it.

The focus of a survival horror game isn't surviving? And what suspicious behavior are you watching for while you have your gun pointed at them? Them pointing their gun at you?
