Why I kill other players (outsided of defense/necesity):

[ld-airgrafix 403]

I feel the best way to explain this is with two quotes. One, from Ernest Hemingway:"Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and like it, never really care for anything else thereafter."And secondly, is the quote from Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, who is referencing the above quote:"He got it right. Its the hunt, not the killing..."What about you?*I made this not to talk about the right or wrong, but the reasons why. Don't derail my discussion with hateful, derogatory, or off topic responses. If someone DOES post such a response, I will ignore them, and hope that everyone else interested in this discussion does as well. Remember: "Be polite, be professional, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

This is a survival game, not a hunting game

[Murlough 192]

You should get a girlfriend.

Also you kill in DayZ becouse you are not punished for it in any form (like for exemple bandit skin like in DayZ mod )

Also because, ya know, your not actually killing anybody. The guy you "killed" in dayz doesn't "die" he just restarts.

[crazykage 1063]

I.....I sense something....a great, dark wave of negative energy....

....it is coming.

Cool down fellow survivors...lets not let this devolve into a brainless slug fest. This is NOT a place for judgment. BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE!

What is it about killing other players in game that you get enjoyment from? WHY do you get enjoyment from it?

[KingofTheWorld 44]

I killing armed or unarmed people for make them hate this game. Cause this stupidity making me angry and annoyed since long time. For example I making friendship with fully armed m4/akm guy then when he turn his back its over I killing him without think one second. He spending hours maybe days for fınd those guns and I killing him in one second so he need spend another days or hours for get those items. This is good way to make one weapon very very extreme rare so I cann make many people hate this game. I enjoying to make people hate this game its my job ı never going to stop until they making proper weapon loots balanced  NOT extremely rare !!!

I can gear up pretty easy, because I've been playing the Mod since it was released.

The other day 2 speed hackers show up next to me and kill me.

I said thank you, now I can restart and have some fun.

So I spawned on a full server ran straight into Berezino, found a hatchet then saw a guy sniping on the roof in the docks at fresh spawns, climbed the ladder and gave him a new hair partition.

Thing is the more I am geared the more paranoid I get to lose the stuff, but when I do die I feel relieved and can start a new adventure.

Thank you to all those backstabbing, scared as shit , antisocial assholes that kill people for no reason!

 

Thank you for giving me this special kind of realistic immersion to a game that would otherwise be totally boring.   :lol:

I'll have you know! I play with a buddy I know IRL. I have several friends IRL that I know play DayZ, just only the guy I play with is on par with my skill level in the game. So I only play with him. Everyone else it's tough peanuts.

Pfft. I force him to stay atleast 50 meters away from my position unless we're inside a building. Different rules apply. So no double head shot for j00

You'd be surprised what some people would do. Not saying that the "murder for no reason" would be as prevalent with such a small amount of people in real life, but you never know.

 

But part of the reason why it happens is because there is no actual risk to you if you die in-game. Sure, you might lose all of your stuff, but you're not threatened in real life. You're not taking a real life, either, so it's a lot easier on someone when they see virtual pixels over looking into someone's real eyes. The fact that it's a game is really the big difference, even if it's meant to be close to real life.

I mean, you can watch horror movies that have a sense of realism and not be affected by them, but put into a situation like that in reality and you'd be scared out of your mind. Just knowing that it isn't real makes all the difference.

 

That, and all of the loot is abundant, so it's easy enough to get 200 rounds of 7.62x51mm ammo and snipe people from a hill or rooftop.

 

Yeah and that's the problem with the people they're too used to games where they're supposed to kill people so they assume that's what DayZ is as someone else said a game to hunt players which is far from the truth.

 

Hopefully they make it hard in the end, to the point where when you see some other survivor it's a case of HOLY SHIT SOMEONE ELSE TEAM UP, TEAM UP OR WE DIE.

I doubt it though, can you imagine the uproar if they practically removed guns and ammo from the game in terms or rarity and made it harder? All the hard-to-the-core badazz killaz would never shut up and they'd have to change it since that's most of the players...

[newberryes 40]

i just can't see how ppl get satisfaction from killing fresh spawn,who is vastly out gunned.I can understand killing a geared player,for pvp...somewhat.you killing every player you meet just shows that you are sadist, literally. but i'm all ways happy to see friendly ppl it just show there is faith in DayZ.Player interaction is the best thing in DayZ not killing.

[TiggyPooh 134]

How do you force him to stand at least 50 meters away?

Don't wash for weeks, or eat to much  :beans: and fart in his face?  :o

 

Just make sure you're never upwind from me, because I will smell you and your friend out.  :lol:

Yeah I recently met a group of people and one even had a gun, he didn't shoot though. Even though something messed up and I took my gun out instead of waving.

It was awesome.

However his friend smashed me over the back of the head with an axe...

 

I ran away a bit, took my Mosin out and shot her in the stomach at least but she didn't die on the spot >.>

 

Anyway it's so refreshing when you meet someone that doesn't instantly try to kill you.

I like to give them a bandage or something and go on my way.

Also don't get why people are so unfriendly towards others without headsets...

The best thing in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.

 

I cant give you enough beans for one of the best movie quotes in history.

 

but there is also: There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.

I don't think DayZ was ever intended as a "we have to work together to survive" game. The game would be no more interesting if everyone got along instead of everyone just killing each other. Besides, there are plenty of people who work well together, and it goes along well with the many people who don't work together.

 

And I don't even think it should be that type of game. The player factor and freedom is something that's always been a part of DayZ, and it shouldn't be limited to the point of; "Well, you have a choice, but it's not really a choice." Aggressive people who kill (or try to kill) everyone they see are certainly kinds of people who would exist in real life, no doubt about it. They're another obstacle and frankly it can be fun to try and deal with them sometimes.

 

I agree that stuff should be made rarer as development goes on, although I wouldn't say to the extent that guns become essentially nonexistant.

How about not making the game community look like dicks so that people actually want to buy it?

 

 

 

The only thing making the the game community look like dicks is ignorant posters who are intolerant of other playstyles and whine about it on the forums day and night....

 

 

Case in point...you

[KingOfTime 267]

It's not worth the risk of them not talking to you over voice chat. Too many people pretend not to have a mic so that they can talk to their friends on ts without fucking up.

The forum has nothing to do with the game community.

 

And it's not a playstyle it's just being part of the CoD style kill everyone mentality which isn't what the game is supposed to be about, you're telling me the game is better being just so plain as killing everyone?

 

We have all these things other games don't but what sets DayZ apart?

Nothing.

Because people still play it like it's an FPS.

 

 

Why should we tolerate people ruining the experience for newcomers?

The community is the only thing that could set this apart from an FPS experience being on an ARMA engine doesn't make it any different if everyone still plays it like a shitty CoD or Battlefield game.

The only difference is people brag about it being "hardcore" which, lol.

I'm sure there are alot of posters on this forum that would disagree with that....

Oh so in your world the KOS playstyle doesnt exist huh? I'm sorry, but just because you dont like a certain playstyle doesnt make it not a part of what the game is about.

 

Please explain to me in your infinite wisdom as you seem to be speaking for the developers or else how could you declare what is and isnt part of what the game is about.. what is the game about and how does that mean we have to exclude certain playstyles?

I'm telling you the game is better becuase we have the CHOICE to kill everyone....

Well they're wrong, more people have the game than there are people on the forum.

 

 

There are only like 1-2 thousand people active on this forum, compared to the amount of people that have the game that is barely statistically relevant.

 

No it's just not the almost only play style.

 

The game is supposed to be a survival game not murder unarmed people because you happened to see them, would you do that in real life?

The game aims to be as authentic as possible but the people who play it? Not really they don't act like they would in a zombie apocalypse they just want to go pew pew pew at everything that moves in the most casual gamer mindset ever whilst claiming to be the hardcore players.

 

 

Yeah we have the choice but what good does it do when practically nobody doesn't treat it like GTA?

 

Though in hindsight at least in future games these people who think DayZ is the ultimate game will probably stay with it and pollute the genuine gamer community less.

[SteenRNS 35]

DayZ is a sandbox,
