@Williamcullum1 58 Posted July 28, 2012 Why do people have a problem with killing people on a GAME, I don't understand why players are getting so immersed with DayZ that killing people is actually affecting their personal lives I have read numerous posts were players have said how upset killing someone has made them and how guilty it has made them fell; personally I believe this is extremely sad and they need to stop playing DayZ if it's having the affect on them...it's a computer game, they're not real and you're not really killing people, grow a pair and get a life. These people seriously need to take a break from the game and re-think what they're doing with their lives if they're getting so worked up and upset over it. 50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmydamage 44 Posted July 28, 2012 It's a computer game, yes. But it is real. The feelings are real.Are you real, William? 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meateater 47 Posted July 28, 2012 I think you need to rethink your point of view mate. Of course you are not killing people, but you when you kill someone in DayZ you delete potentially hundreds of hours of spent time getting gear and surviving. That's why people feel frustrated when they get killed and also guilty when they kill other players that are not a direct threat. It's part of the game and it's fucking awesome that it works this way. 46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's part of the game and it's fucking awesome that it works this way. I can see why one may feel guilty for a minute or two but not to the point where they're getting nightmares and finding it hard to accept themselves as a human now...which I have seen. I just think players are taking the game way to serious and need to calm down a little. It's a game, when you log into a server you're accepting other players will be online and have to accept the fact that one day you will die and kill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmydamage 44 Posted July 28, 2012 Of course I am real but it's not a life...it a game people shouldn't get upset.Agreed, it is not life. But is it not a part of life? To feel when interacting with other people, be it physical or in other ways. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's escapism. If you are able to get that immersed in a game, that is a quality I wish I had. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

@Williamcullum1 58 Posted July 28, 2012 Agreed, it is not life. But is it not a part of life? To feel when interacting with other people, be it physical or in other ways. No I don't believe it is part of life to feel bad of killing someone through VIRTUAL interaction. I think if you're getting so worked up you find it hard to sleep or you feel guilty for a day then you need to spend some time outside in the REAL world.

jimmydamage 44 Posted July 28, 2012 Who are we to judge if it's true or not. What is true for you might be false for the next person. Virtual you say, as I see it, it's just an extension of man. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flurf 25 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) It's not true emotionEmotions are unique to every person. Calling people pussies, because you don't feel the same way about an issue, makes me think you need to re-think your life.
