Why did you shoot me.

[Maarten (DayZ) 0]

I love the mod but the pking killed it for me, and everybody that replies with okthnxbai can go jump of a bridge.

This is the best mod ever and i will come back when pking is not the biggest thread in the mod.

When i see someone that has a gun i always say ''DONT SHOOT'' and ''FRIENDLY'' but they always shoot me on sight, so this mod actually sucks in this stage and i hope that this will get better soon.

[Redrick (DayZ) 72]

Agreed but nothing will become of it. Getting killed for starter gear is just retarteded. Not even a gun, a bandage, and a painkiller.

[agonythy 3]

Well, since everyone i met shot me (even if i was unarmed), i started doing the same - as soon as i see another player, i shoot him. What goes around, comes around.

Sometimes i think, people are just camping points of interest and kill others for fun...and when your friends try to revenge you, those cowards just log out.

Unfortunately it won't get any better, i'd rather be a friendly player but i don't want to respawn every 10 minutes.

Edit: I have to mention that i don't shoot at unarmed people.

sorry to say this is your problem, not the game's.

Don't blame the mod for the behaviour of individuals, no matter how many of them there are.

[xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ) 343]

In time I see it getting fixed. But for now I shoot everyone I dont know in real life.

I know but the behaviour of individuals is created by the mod because there is no reward for teamplay and because its not rewarding the behaviour of survivors is created by the mod.

i also say that when i am unarmed but i stil get shot.

[vanilladragon 1]

you cant blame everyone for killing on sight. a; there is nothing else to do after you gear up and b; there is no reward for team work (outside pre-determined team), only risk

except you should actually be hidden in the trees watching them and not saying anything

It's actually a community problem, not just the OP's. People complain about kill-on-sight and the lack of team play (beyond my clan vs your clan) all the time.

As Agonythy points out, all it does is breed an ever growing stream of griefers who just think that 'its how DayZ is'. Some of the best memories of the game are from the early days where you could meet strangers and team up. That will never happen now.

I personally think that this was started by griefers/hackers who gear up without effort and just want to shoot people to bear them cry. The only counter to it is for people to resist the urge to just kill on site, help people who were griefed to recover their gear, and generally try not to be shitty people.

Hogwash. It's built on a military simulator. The entire game is specifically designed to award tactical team play.

Incentives to cooperative play are quite numerous and more are coming.

However, that's irrelevant to the topic of "PK." Team play will not reduce PvP. Teams will simply kill other teams and solo players. In fact, I predict an increase in murder rates as team play becomes more prevalent for the simple fact that teams are more effective killing machines.

Carry on.

This is a survivor game, not just some "Hey lets go kill zombies together and be friends."

If I see you, you die, cause I wouldnt doubt there is something on you I could use.

That is just your bandit mentality.

[Chimera (DayZ) 0]

Don't talk to anyone and keep your distance. That's kept me alive so far. When I see someone, I don't say "Don't shoot" or "Friendly" I just get the hell away from them.

[Maarten (DayZ) 0]

I think i am just trying to be to nice :P i just need to gear up and shoot everything :D fk teamplay.

[Powermolch 3]

The weak and friendly would die first in apocalypse. But in DayZ they are respawning and therefore not be wiped out. But most of them evolve to real "Survivors" and finally survive.

It might be a problem for the mod, I hope we'll soon see incentatives to play both as a humane survivor and as a murderous bandit. As of now, being friendly isn't an option.

The social experiment has become an asocial deathmatch arena.

Something has to change.

wait so your telling me that being friendly is a bad thing in dayz and that it caters to douche bag behavior and even rewards it better than friendly behavior.

Like its a horrible thought that asking if you could have or even IDK rob them and let them live? I think the only reason to rob players and let them live is actually role players. >.>

[JKflipflop 40]

Just go with the flow and shoot everyone on sight. Only trust your real friends in the game. My group usually rolls 3 deep. If we see you, you're toast.

[ZedsDeadBaby 2287]

Yeah. People like you need to get bored and leave. An "asocial deathmatch arena?" That's really what you're going with? Ridiculous tripe with no basis in reality.

[theelfishgene 3]

I have never been shot as a starter survivor, i can only assume these people and the op complaining about being killed for nothing are venturing into the wrong areas for a quick buck!

When you spawn on the coast, instead of running hell for leather at Cherno or Eleckto or Balota, try heading north into the wilderness!

You are only making things difficult for yourself by giving yourself up to the douchebags who patrol those areas looking for a quick kill and a chance to spoil your day.

It's a survival/social experiment mod not a FPS, i'm sorry but all these people complaining about being killed only have themselves to blame!

That's because you're some COD kid who doesn't understand the RP aspect of DayZ. This ain't XBox son. It's ok though. The game needs idiot bandits too.

[Powermolch 3]

Oh the COD kid phrase. Really nice, thumbs up. Never heard that yet.
