This is not surviving, Sir.

This is not surviving, Sir.

 What is it then?

It is logging. Sorry, I am a little bit conventional in those things. I expected that they had been outrun or in the part where you ran between them, they shot themselves. That would have been awesome. But you are right on the "elite".

I was hoping they'd shoot each other too, to be honest.

 

I kinda expected I'd get some stick for it. I've played the game a lot and I've never combat logged once (aside from here is you want to count it). I am really comfortable with my "DayZ ethics" both in the video and in general.

 

To me combat logging is when you remove yourself from the game and away from danger to retain your character and gear. I didn't do that, I did log but only when they made it impossible to talk to them as they were firing (their no doubt infinite clips) into the ceiling. They all came out of the glitch room and almost certainly had dodgy gear (what are the chances of 4 players who choose to glitch for fun all having genuine guns?). I was happy to stay up there taking the mick out of them but that became impossible. If I could run, I'd have ran off the building to avoid giving them the satisfaction of killing me. These t***s sit in their glitch all night waiting for players to come along just to KOS them, I didn't want to feed the trolls and did what I did. If it happened like that tomorrow, I'd do it again.

 

What I didn't show in the video is that when I relogged I found 5 ruined high cap vests in the ATC on top of each other and about 3000 sks rounds (in 4/5 stacks only). I crawled them away and dumped them and then crawled to Krasnostav to fix my leg. It probably took me about an hour to do the above. When if I had I stayed with the "elite squad" i'd have bled out and they'd have got what they wanted and I'd have gotten an easy respawn which was much better for me than what I did instead.

 

I guess some people have a "it's just wrong" no matter what policy. If I'd had even basic gear I wouldn't have done it but I think it's obvious my reasons for logging were not self preservation which is why people combat log.

To be fair, you wouldn't have had any chance. Most people would have logged. Those vests probably were from them. And it is not wrong to be wary against bigger groups with the same outfit. Especially for some kinds of gear the probability to find it is very low. My intention wasn't to criticize your play style and you admitted yourself, that you logged. At least you did not torture anyone and bragged about it in the forums. You have my beans, Sir.
