How could he.....

[goofert 11]

Well, it happened this day, when i was at the Vybor Military Compound with two friends. We were in the prison, scanned the baracks before and as there were no other people ´til then, we went in the prison all together. Closed the door, looted our stuff, decided to continue to Vybor thereafter. Then we opened the door just in the moment, when there was another player standing outside the door. (So far so good, great experience, the shock was instant... ;) )

 

I had my mosin in my hand and i had him in scope, when i heard a sudden "don´t shoot, i am friendly!!!" He lowered his weapon and ran away, i could have easily killed him if i wanted to do so, but i decided to let him go. (notice, we followed him but soon lost eyes on him, as he disappeared between the trees)

 

 

End of story? We just sorted ourselves as it was quite a shock, but 20 seconds later the first shots of this idiot hit me and one of my buddies, we were both dead right off the moment. I was lucky that i just saw him a second before he killed me, standing in a corner and aiming at us. My second buddy managed to run away, but seriously???????

 

We let him alive cause we tried to be as friendly as one could be... and then this stupid idiot killed us, not a minute after he told us that he is friendly?

 

Dude (in case you read this....) , if you kill us in a fair PvP gunfight, you would have deserved the loot (fully geared mosin, M4, good camo-stuff) but this was simply bullshit.

 

For me, it is plain simple, i will kill everything i see from now on, i won´t trust anyone beside my buddies, until i get proof that there are other players who are honest and fair.

 

 

 

 

Just felt that i have to say this, hopefully you won´t meet me in DayZ during the upcoming days as i am totally pissed off right now. (Managed to kill another fully geared guy with a Machete as fresh spawn... totally worth.. i didn´t even pick up his loot, i was simply pissed :P sorry for that..)

 

I really hope, that i will never have an equal situation, and i hope the same for you... Nothing against a fair squad vs squad gunfight, but "hey i am friendly! BAM BAM BAM " is not why i play this game.

 

[hothtimeblues 128]

Sorry man. That guy was a bitch plain and simple. Not everyone is a scummer like that but many are.

[TheCreeper (DayZ) 3565]

Welcome to Day Z, had the same thing happen yesterday, save we walked away, he didn't, still I give people a chance, don't give up!

[lauda 44]

Goofert,

 

somehow sad, but nothing special. How many hours did you play until now?

[flimsypremise 94]

This is why I always immediately leaved the area even after a "friendly" encounter. No one is ultimately responsible for your own safety but you, and being friendly shouldn't mean you fail to use basic common sense. An unknown, armed player knows where you are. Leave that location.

[hothtimeblues 128]

Yeah good point. The only time I was alive after meeting random and armed players.... it was because I immediately retreated away but ready to defend myself.

[blowurselfup 54]

I do not KOS as a rule. the only exception to that rule is when you see another player in a military area! B)

[stinkenheim 249]

I second blowurselfup, I'm generally a friendly player apart from in airfields/military bases

[Grimey Rick 3417]

Maybe you'll have more luck on your second day of DayZ.

[goofert 11]

Goofert,

 

somehow sad, but nothing special. How many hours did you play until now?

around 150 hours in squad, another 30 hours solo... never happened to me before..

 

 

I do not KOS as a rule. the only exception to that rule is when you see another player in a military area!

so do we in general, this time it was the simple fact that he yelled this "don´t shoot, don´t shoot i am friendly" just in the second i wanted to shoot.

 

 

 

I was simply annoyed by the fact that there are idiots like this guy, who can ruin the whole experience... Imagine this guy walking away in a peaceful manner.. You would think "What a great experience, meeting a friendly player at military loot-spots". Now i am more like: "If there´s any movement, you´d better be far away"

 

 

I just had to share this, not only because we found a wonderful M4 at a Helicrash 15 minutes before with like every attachement you need (Pristine everything) and now this guy has it on his hands.... (well, i guess he is probably dead by now, at least i hope so...)

 

 

 

I decided to give "friendly gaming" another chance, but i guess if i meet another guy like this, KoS will be my new best friend in DayZ...

 

 

(As mentioned before, we like good PvP around the NWAF, squad against squad, thrilling actions, great sniper-shots etc and i don´t mind beeing killed by any of these, but this was.... annoying :P )

 

 

Thanks anyways for your answers, at least some people who seem cool to me ;)

if you kill us in a fair PvP gunfight

Did he use a cheat? Because otherwise it was a fair PvP gunfight - actually the situation was even in your favor. Don't blame him for not being stupid and trying to take on the three of you while standing in the open. Blame yourselves for letting your guard down.

If you want to gun down everyone you meet now - be my guest. But don't think yourself better than him then.

[TomatoSupra 207]

This is what makes this game fun for assholes like me. Its so much easier to shoot someone in the back of the head after telling them you are friendly, then to go through the hassle of a firefight.

[Combine (DayZ) 247]

Hm, another "I kinda got backstabbed by a semi-friendly guy / liar and from now on I will kill / shoot at any stranger I come across!"-Post, kinda.

 

No need to assume the worst for every situation because of bad encounters in the game. You could meet, in theory, 30 friendly / neutral people in similar or other situations and have 1-2 bad apples. And even if it was the other way around, it'd be worth the 1-2 friendly people. Just consider security measures if you're neutral / hero and you can make it just fine. Or most of the time.

 

I think that the "I died due to ... and thus I will shoot at any stranger" mentality is rather adding to a certain problem than solving it.

If you kill everyone you see from now on, how will you ever get proof that there are players who are honest and fair?

[eadaif 34]

To the OP: you did say that you followed him. He likely perceived that as threatening behavior, despite you not firing on him when you could have. When threatened, some people fight back.

[doctajones 123]

Yeah... He is the idiot because he conned a couple of geared guys...

[Calvin Candie 189]

Thats just bad handling of a normal situation. If someone in real life tells you they are friendly but carry a pistol in their hand would you ever let your guard down? No you wouldnt.

People think there is some imaginary law of morals. Grow up, put your big boy pants on, and dont become a KoS robot like most kiddies.

[skypig 139]

no one is friendly in a military area.

edit: the only friendly person you will find in those places are the ones you have the drop on... until you let them run
