Tales of a butthurt player...

[RayPugh 146]

The game is the game, kill or be killed... If you choose to tell somone where you are then expect to be shot, any other outcome is a bonus so dont get your hopes up. Telling anyone your camp site location isnt wise if you dont trust in them, expect to be robbed

[albinorhino 174]

Too long; didn't read. A great wall of text to let everybody know you won't play anymore...who the fuck cares?

And its posts like this that prove that humanity as a whole is doomed to failure. I read the whole thing and found it to be a rather interesting read. But then due to the fact it didn't have pictures and simple lines like "and the bunny went to bed" probably confused you ArrThePirate.

I'm confused as well.

So what happened to the bunny?

[Targeter_NL 39]

I feel you OP. I tend to stay clear of other survivors. You can't trust anyone.

The Beginning:

...I first download Day Z, I couldn't wait to start playing...

....I haven't put in all the times I have been killed by assholes because I'm already tired...

IMO

I agree with you man, and the only solution I can see for now about this is to play the game with a RL friend, at least a pair, then well...... f*ck the others......

I play Eve Online for a lot of years right now, I already see A LOT, I know what I�m talking about (Eve has a reputation that everyone knows).. Being a lone wolf or play with friends, sadly u cant trust anyone else

I see your loot, I want your loot, I take your loot...

I do this in DayZ cause I'll get arrested if I do it in the real world.

Is this really hard to understand?

[Herr Robert 28]

I can see why you are annoyed. While I'm a bandit myself, I think that it's very unethical to befriend people, actually chatting with them on Skype and all, only to betray them like that (to make myself clear, I'm not saying that it should be forbidden; just that it's very low).

[directorpr 1]

I'm the fabled DirectorPr in these words. I honestly had no idea these guys fucked us over, and honestly I have no idea right now if they did, or didn't. Either way I'm still gonna put a bullet in their head first time I see em. I'm the type of guy who shoots you if you're not in my Skype, which makes my kill list pretty large. Honestly I've been killed so many times I'm not surprised, if Zero still wants to get back into DayZ I'm up for another round of shooting mofos.

[God Killer 6]

Don't blame the community, blame yourself. You can't trust anyone, only your personal friends.

I shot it, gutted it, cooked the meat and ate it.

I only run with close friends of mine these days. If not solo. You have to trust no one .

[Knautscher 4]

Yup, everyone's an asshole in this game. Because nothing they do has actual consequences for them and collecting uber-gear and racking up kills is more important to most players than just exploring and surviving against Zeds and Bugs.

I'd say it's natural that this leads to a reaction like this

I've been annoyed by this Kleinkindverhalten (lacking a better word) from the day I started playing, but since you can't change other people it's not worth bothering. It's sad really, but you just have to avoid every player you see from a distance, because they will kill you, just to get a +1 on their "score" or to tell themselves that they are in fact incredibly skilled badasses.

The only thing you can do right now, is to stay out of the contested areas and stay the fuck away from other players, just do your own thing. Everyone's a greedy bastard with no remorse. There'll always be those that say "it's a game hurr durr, I can't shoot people IRL, I HAVE to kill them ingame! Be a dick like us or you're a pussy!" and you can never get rid of them. Don't waste energy on that.

I also think that PvP should be one playstyle and one aspect of this game, but not the dominating one, that right now it is. I hope in later version there'll be Zeds everywhere, even in the woods, and firing a gun will always attract a horde. That way, people might think twice whether they "need" that kill.

However, right now I think these are all the options you have: Avoid them, join them or leave.

[...]who the fuck cares?

You obviously care enough to write a reply. :D

[The Poacher 31]

The community is shit no question about that. Until survival becomes more difficult everyone will KOS. The only incentive to group is to kill other players more efficiently.

Also, IRL in a crisis/apocalypse, anyone who displays psychopathic behavior like what is present in this game would quickly become ostracized by the survivors and or be killed off.

But you shouldn't be playing this game as if it were a game. You need to have the mindset of an Alpha QA tech or you will quickly get enraged and quit (as I think you probbably will). After losing a ton of high end gear to a glitch I resolved to give no fucks and simply find bugs and help document them for the most part.

Even if survival becomes more difficult people will still KoS. I've said it before and i'll say it again, you could give the player 1 bullet to work with, and there are those of us who will endeavor to insert that bullet into your skull

[PinkTaco24 10]

I mean this is a game of survival, they did what they had to do.

Oh come on dude.. they did it as a means to troll and laugh with their mics silenced at the OP's expense. Don't pawn this off as 'what they had to do.' They were all at the airfield, they could of easily looted the guns the OP was carrying in a hangar rather than lie and manipulate the OP on skype for his gun.

Wake up.

Awww, the playerbase are brutal assholes? Too bad. It is the Mother. F**ing. Zombie. Apocalypse.

It's the fuckin' Catalina wine mixer.

[teih 36]

If you have any desire what so ever to socialise, don't play this game. Don't even say "hi", it'll get you killed.

I was like you in the beginning. I hoped for a game with depth and immersion, a zombie apocalypse simulator where survivors and bandits constantly had to battle eachother for resources.

Currently it's nothing like that, unfortunately. Everyone is a mindless killer, and that's final.

Yes there is. Why do you think bandits are bandits? Your stuff and if they have stuff, for fun. Do you not doubt that people will lose their minds in the Zombie Apocalypse if it was real? Do you think that seasoned survivors would just say "That guy has enough ammo and food to last me for a day? Nah, I don't need that, I'll leave him alone"? This isn't a romanticized portrayal of the ZA. It's a realistic and brutal one.

notice I also did say out of game.

[Mr-Zer0 62]

Playing Day Z again, and I've encountered one player that was actually friendly, teamed up with him for a little bit until he had to go. Just found a Military Offroad in the middle of Elektro and a M14 AIM.
