Survivor-Kyle 148 Posted July 18, 2012 [disclaimer]I got griefed today and it just really got to me. I'm going to rant about it, because I just need to get it off my chest.[/disclaimer] 1.7.2.3 has been really unstable on my system and so it took me over an hour to finally connect to a server today (lots of loading screens, etc). Once I get in I get teleported to a random map point. Whatever, I'll go from here. 5 mins later the server reboots, and won't connect, so I move to another one.I start out as a fresh spawn on the coast (okay...) I start inland and realize that this server is not rendering buildings. They exist, I just cannot see them. So I moved to another server. By this point I've been trying to play for over 2 hours.Upon connecting I am greeted by another blank coast and new character screen (I have yet to actually die, I just keep getting the new spawn screen). I'm just outside Electro, so I dash into town and hit up the hospital. From there I run into the church. Suddenly I notice another person in the church with me (he may have just logged in, or the game may have just not rendered him prior to that). I call out friendly and tell him I have nothing to shoot him with, because I've just spawned. He does the salute and wiggle, and we trade a few words over direct chat. I told him that the hospital was clear and that I'd broken a window if he needed anything. I started toward the door, still watching him, and then he shot me in the face.WHY?Why do you have to shoot a fresh spawn with NOTHING. The next spawn for me was bugged again so I said Fuck it and shut it off. I spend most of my time at the hospital visiting my kids, and so I have very little time to play the game. I can tolerate the bugs and, hell, I even LIKE it when a bandit shoots at me from a sniper spot or sneaks up on me and takes me out SEAL style; it adds to the game. But shooting a freshly spawned player just because, after having a brief conversation with them... I just don't get it. It fucking sucks, man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
