They've invested a year (or YEARS depending on whether it's their last year in highschool to win state or whatever), to get to some point in the tournament like semi's or finals, and you beat them. I've never felt guilt beating some one. You're consensual players in a competitive game.Well it's not really the same thing, this is not an e-sport game. You can't "win" dayz there is no goal or sport element in the game (if you compare with let's say counter strike or starcraft), you can't beat someone in the way you beat them in a tournament or a competition. In this world you are free to do what ever you like and killing someone could alter and change the plan the person behind the screen had. This is what you can relate too and feel empathy for,(now this will obviously not happen if you kill someone who deliberately started to shoot at you first).

ChinWooMan 34 Posted July 28, 2012 I sometimes kill to survive and self defence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venzire 76 Posted July 28, 2012 Rocket has stated before that the game is ment to spark emotions but if they're that strong they're weird. By pussies I thought you ment the Alt+F4ers. (I hope this post doesn't kill this thread...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayfindre@hotmail.com 4 Posted July 28, 2012 Um... not sure about you, but I have seen people die and kill over a fucking sports event. Should we just tell the hundreds of thousands of people who back a sport team not to get so emotionally attached? After all, its just a game, right? I don't get my jollies from sports, but I take gaming pretty seriously. If you don't, good for you, but don't tell me what I should or should not feel over "a game", right? To each their own.

When at the same time there were lots of other options. You know this very well yourself. People in dayz decided to make real life efforts and spent real life time to advance in the game.Marginalizing this fact simply makes you a sociopath.ban this noob. now! If I kill someone on a videogame, i'm a sociopath?! its a fucking game. if u dont like loosing your stuff, go play wow or something. the things we have to read here... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kykylik (DayZ) 0 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) YOU are the PUSSY here, MATE. Why the HELL you would like to be FRIENDLY to everyone and do ONLY PVE? What's the fun here? You can avoid the zombies very very easy, so they are not a problem. I hate FAGS like you saying that the players that kills other guys ( mostly noobs like you ) are pussys. Tell me whats your objective in-game , excepting killing zombies and "survive" with your "buddies" and getting friendly with everyone? My opinion is that you should go back to Counter-Strike or Left 4 Dead ( there you only kill zombies and you are friendly with a few guys and running from a point to another to finish the game ) and f**k yourself because you are fakin annoying and uninstall arma2.P.S: I am not a bandit which tries to kill everything that moves, im trying to get friendly to a few guys ( make a small team ) and thats all.

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.And do you never get affected by a film, or a book?

Godparties 7 Posted July 29, 2012 I don't ever feel guilty. I killed you. I more than likely got some good loot(I only kill for loot), and they learn from that death. That's how you get better and live longer, die and learn from the mistake. So, essentially, I'm teaching them to be better. I shouldn't feel bad for that! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vellarain 73 Posted July 29, 2012 Yes it is a game and yes you can easily kill someone and move on like it is no big deal. But there is the fact that in this game, unlike most games there is a very real sense of loss when you die. In my first few lives I felt it quite keenly when I had a decent set up of gear. I never feel bad when I put someone down because they failed to meet my criteria for leaving them alone (Not responding to friendly, iron sighting me, ect) I have my own rules that I live by when playing as so do others.
