Vex_Vehix 436 Posted May 6, 2014 Lol. I started this game trying to talk to people, and only a single time was not KoS. I was looting a building in Eleckrto when I was cornered by the (three amigos), they then let me go after cuffing me, taking 1 can of tactical bacon, and 2 swigs of my canteen. Definitely was a fun/intense encounter due to the fact that I had 2 M4's pointed at my head while restrained, as the third guy fiddled with my bag. I felt vulnerable to say the least. In end, they let me go, only after taking my Mosin and placing it on the road 50 yards from my location. Besides that time, I only come across hostile cunts.

CJFlint 357 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) What I noticed more and more when encountering random people in game, is the more valuable gear they have the less risks they will take. They are more likely to take cover and fight battles only if they think they will win. Playing in a "Hero" clan I have noticed fresh spawns at times can be much more unpredictable then someone running with valuable gear, and much more likely to try something daring. Like attempting to get a knock out punch then take some ones gear. Or pull other crap. I have seen fresh spawns use as bait, and even used to set other players up. Another thing about random encounters is, is never ever assume they are alone, ever. Just because people are not clan tagged does not mean they are not talking to other players on team speak. Even if you shoot them more still may show up to take you out. Honestly in the encounter posted here, I would have saw the mask and assumed he was a bandit period. It would really depend on the situwation weather I would have shot him or not. If I were untagged and solo, my paranoid level would be high and honestly I would probably considered him a threat and not even bothered with prox voice. Un spoken rule in DayZ your wearing a pay day mask, your a bandit, most know that. If I was in a group he would have to deemed a threat or threat to other players 1st. There probably would be a prox voice before any shots were fired. If encounters were low in the area he was in. Edited May 6, 2014 by CJFlint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 680 Posted May 6, 2014 What everyone should note here is that while interacting with this stranger was much riskier than just blasting him in the ass, it was also a longer engagement and probably had his heart pumping a lot harder and longer as well. And in my opinion, that is why this game is worth playing: the adrenaline rush. But this takes patience and maturity that the community lacks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
