Question to players complaining about getting killed

watch the road

you mean the movie where EVERY LIVING THING is almost extinct and there are no supplies and people eat each other...

completely comparable to a game with a readily available food, a common threat, and enough gear to go around.

(heavy sarcasm included)

Sorry if I sounded harsh in my original post, English isn't my first language and I don't always sound how I want to. It was just a sincere question, I'm curious as to what players expected when they started playing and why they were disapointed by the PvP.

IMO PvP is a huge part of the survival. Once you find a weapon and you understand how the zombies work, you can easily sneak past them and kill them, they're not really a problem except if you're unlucky and they break your legs.

The players on the other hand are smart, they can ambush you in buildings, spot you from the other side of the town and hunt you. That's really exciting and the adrenaline rush when you see or hear another survivor never gets old.

The description on the site says it all : "Go Solo, team up with friends or take on the world as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive."... But yeah, it isn't for everyone, that's not cool that you bought the game and you don't like it. Well at least you can play other Arma II mods, like Project Reality :)

EDIT :

Meh, sorry, my people skills are rusty :/

Well, last night I killed a new player, it was pitch-black and he used his torchlight, I couldn't see if he had a weapon or not. I needed a weapon and tools, so I killed him. He didn't have anything except a toolbox. And well, I needed that toolbox so his death wasn't in vain :)

I play with my friends most of the time. A lot of people are looking for teammates on the forum, it's not that hard to find someone you can trust and play with them all the time, the game is more fun with a group of people and it reduces the risk of getting killed.

If you kill someone because you need some stuff he has, or anything like that, i don't blame you. After all, that's what bandits do, right?

What i mean by my last post is that there are a lot of people killing other players just because they can. Like "i have 100 bullets, why not kill that guy running with zombies behind him? It will be fun". Some people just pop other players without even looting them, only because they can, even other players that just started.

Killing other players is fine, but sometimes i think it's out of control.

I also play with some friends, and while playing with a friend we found another survivor who joined our group and he's now playing with us. This has become very rare in DayZ, due to the community new behavior to kill everything that breathes.

I just hope one day we get that cooperation feeling back, like when i started playing a few weeks ago.

And by the way, sorry if i was rude in my previous post.

Well I just assumed people would have higher morals (even if this is just a game). Its senseless to go around and layout player after player. If you want pvp just play Arma. Its got better gun fights. If you want to play a realistic zombie sim where the only way to survive is through teamwork. Then play DayZ. It all depends on how people view the game. Some see Call of Duty with Zombies, and others the The Walking Dead (me). Really its what the community does that shapes how others will see it. Do we want to show potential players that this is a kill or be killed game, or a team-player friendly game?
