Penalize Pvp ONLY IF the victim is unarmed

[federik21 42]

I am not against pvp (no more, i acceped this game as a deathmach in a huge map where you have to eat and drink sometimes).

Today, i was killing a lot of players, but one was unarmed.

Sure, no regrets killing other guys, but i could just rob him and let him go...

Maybe introducing a sort of penalization to those kills will make this game better and finally have a clear distinction between survivors and bandits (as I don't see it, survivors kill for not be killed and bandits kill because is their gameplay).

Prerequisites:

• mechanism to holster main gun and secondary pistol (i can remeber that when we started with a makarov it was holstered, and your weapon is on your back while you have a pistol).
  
• fix disconnection to avoid been robbed
  

PRO:

• a bandit would decide to rob you instead of killing you if he see you unarmed (he will still able to kill you, if you decide to run and he decides you deserve some shoots to get your gear, your backpack and main weapon will be on your back -because bandits don't kill for fun in real life-)
  

CONS:

• if unarmed starting to abuse this, like stealing things from armed people, or human shields (!?) it could be a problem (but keeping look realistic to me)
  
• maybe everyone will start go unarmed, so it would stop the pvp at all (which is bad), but if you see a very nice weapon or a coyote backpack on a survivor, those items could worth the penalization price.
  
• You have to add another cons.

...or make it so you can hold them at gunpoint, take ALL their clothes, and then leave them naked and depressed.

Why? Would you get penalized for shooting someone in real life if they were unarmed?

No, so why does it make it ok to penalize people for shooting unarmed survivors in a game? Its part of the game and the game is to be as realistic as possible

I.E why DayZ let pvp be allowed.

i agree, this game is about to be realistic, not balanced, as rocked already said multiple times

what would be the point it adds to the experience of trying to find a weapon and plus if they didnt have a weapon and they were walking on the road or in the open its there fault they died.

even in TWD shane felt nervous about the idea of killing rick while he was unarmed (even if he killed otis, and in fact started to act strangely)...

If you think the character of

Even in TWD a real badass like shane esitates to kill rick while he was unarmed (even if he killed otis, but there it was in danger of life and then he started to act strangely).

If you wan't your character to be a mindless killer, lets go on like this.

No repercussion about killing 1000000 mens, yeah, why not? this is the average russian person.

This is pretty realistic!

no respect for people who kill unarmed players.

I never kill unarmed players and I kill armed players only if they are acting like bandits or if they are a threat. Which means if they are armed and coming straight my way.

Experience? The True experience is to be as realistic as possible, to make it as if you truly do have to survive, DayZ and Arma combined realism, simulation, and roleplay. If it were in real life then you would obviously have people after the same things as you, its just how it is because it is what Everyone needs and if it means your life is dependant upon it, wouldnt you shoot a person with the supplies you need to live?

And when i say all this, im not condoning to killing unarmed players, because i dont kill unarmed players, but its just an option that is there like it would be in real life.

Heres your answer: Dont run in the open or the shore when trying to get to a city.

If you keep getting killed running on the shore, obviously the thing to do it explore other options to get your loot. Try running to the woods and run along the forest line keeping the shore insight.

Im mean if you think about it, there is many more ways to get to a city to loot.

People kill unarmed players because the game not challenging beyond 2 hours after spawning. They don't attack well armed players because they are cowards and don't want to be killed. Trying to have a reasonable discussion about in here is as useful as trying to converse with a roadsign.

OR, they cannot find the well armed players because the well armed players are doing exactly what you said and are cowaring out in the forest somewhere far away from player traffic.

And having a discussion about it isnt to be useful, its to try to express peoples thought on the matter.

I support this. It's usually CoD kiddies that shoot unarmed players.

Prove me wrong.
