BAD IDEA OR COMMUNICATION ISSUE? ☢ DayZ Standalone ☢

[street707 154]

After I said friendly over and over again and he replied with NO and his buddy shot me I took it as they weren't going to play nicely. Now do you think they tried to get out of a bad decision or was there really a miscommunication?

Well, it seems to me that the guy that shot at you first DID make a bad decision, and his buddy tried to get him to stop; I think the buddy was the one that ran out of the hangar (the one you dropped first), and I think he was trying to defuse the situation. It seemed like, when he came out of the hangar and was running around, he had ample opportunity to try and shoot you, but he just kept running around saying "chill" and whatnot, which leads me to believe that he didn't want a fight. Unfortunately, his friend had an itchy trigger finger and got the ball rolling down a rather steep hill. I'm guessing the buddy chewed his friend a new asshole after that encounter, telling him not to just shoot anyone he sees, for just that reason.

 

That being said, you really had no idea what their true intentions were, as they could have been trying to lull you into a false sense of security so they could take you out, so you may have been justified in taking them out. Of course, they might have thought the same of you, and truly were "innocent". The point is, in DayZ, as I've learned the hard way myself, you really can't trust anyone when first meeting them.

 

In my encounter, I was in the top of one of the air control towers, looting around, when suddenly I saw a guy come up the outside ladder; as I ran back down the stairs inside, I heard him yelling "Friendly!" over the mic. Against my instincts and better judgement, I stopped and went back up to talk to him. He asked if I had any food, and I said yes; I asked him if he had a can opener, and he said yes. I started to reply with "good, because you're going to need it". But before I could finish the statement, I watched him pull out his pistol and shoot me dead in the face. All I can hope is that he ruined everything I had so that it was all useless, though, since he shot me in the face, I doubt that happened.

They tried to kill you, failed and then tried to get out of the mess. You did the right damn thing! Also:

 

FUCKING CLOWN MASKS! KILLM THEM WITH FIRE, NO REMORSE! Clownmaskwearers are the worst people in DayZ, kill them without asking.

Agreed and great points. If your theory is correct I bet the clown mask guy did indeed get a ear full from his buddy. LOL

Yup. I'll always KOS if I see a clown mask, and I never KOS. I just don't play like that. But I've never met a good dude wearing a clown mask. Plus I hate clowns.

I try not to kill on sight but we all do it from time to time. It's just too hard to trust people. I've giving many people the benefit of the doubt only to be killed from behind 2 minutes later. It's a toss up. This time I was ready for a fight but decided to give him a chance. I didn't even know he had a buddy right next to me. Then all hell broke loose. LOL Thanks for watching!

I would have killed both of em the moment they fired on me (or tried too lol) Once bullets fly, there are no more words. End of convo lol

Guys with guns running around NEAF and shooting at each other while squeaking "Friendly" at each other, business as usual I guess.

What was the question again?  :lol:
