Trusted a random survivor-he didnt betray me! :P

[IcyZ 295]

I died and respawned,i found a hatchet and made my way north east,i found a city and proceded to loot the place(cant remember the name,too bored to open the map :P ) there i saw another survivor with a hatchet,crawling to me.I reloaded my hatchet just to feel awesome and then told him im friendly,he said ME TOO.i asked him if he needs anything cause i had some food,i gave him a can,and he gave me a bandage cause i used mine.meanwhile,i quickly browsed his backpack and it was empty,so i wasnt worried about getting killed.I told him i want to loot the hospital,he said he'd like to come with me,so i said yes.i aggroed some Z's and he told me to follow him,i was gonna run with all the zombies following me while he will loot the hosptial.That's what i do with my group when we dont want to attract players and dont shoot,so i knew it was gonna work unless he betrays me.I ran and ran and he was looting.Then he walked outside and started killing the zombies behind me.when it was safe we got on the roof,shared supplies,gave blood to each other and then he told me that he could run with me if i dont have any probs.I told him that i was heading to my group and that he could join us,even on teamspeak,but he said that he prefers to be alone,or with one guy,so we said goodbye good luck and stuff and part ways.i gave him my steam account in case he wanted to join us later.

Now,i'm thinking that would the same thing had happened if one of us had a gun?i trusted him cause he had a hatchet and i had a hatchet too,he shared stuff,and filled our inventories and we had even more stuff to loot but we didnt have room.We had pretty much the same gear.But what if i had a gun?He would not trust me since i could pop him without going close risking getting hit,and i would be worried about getting killed just cause he wanted the gun.also if he had a gun i would be really suspicious,getting shot cause i looted something he wanted...I'd like to see what you have to say,badnits and survivors,all welcome.Cause i think that players are starting to trust strangers again.or i just got lucky a couple of times and came across friendly guys :P

but yeah it worked and he helped you so it was all fine.

Well sometimes you get good ones, sometimes you get ones that will betray you at the first instance they get.

Last night I was playing with some friends of mine, we encountered a survivor that was unarmed being chased by zombies, we proceeded to help him and in return the moment he got an axe he decided to try and axe us a question, safe to say he got riddled with bullets.

What is this "friendly"? :)

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had good luck with actually having the DayZ experience. I mean, when I first started I met up with a lot of guys by just not being a total untrusting dick. I made numerous dayz pals and some brand new actual friends who I play other games with aswell now. lately I felt like the chance of that happening was slim to none, but then I came across someone in Cherno and all he had was a hatchet, I said "hey there want a gun?" and he was like "naw, I look a lot less threatening with just a hatchet" we then had some small talk, wanted to trade a bit, and we decided, why not go north together? So we did and ta-da I've made a new player to join my clan. So hey, not KOS is risky, but rewarding. Sadly, we was looting in Elecktro when a guy came up with a lee enfield and shot him between the time my friend said hello and was about to offer beans. Shortly after we hunted him down and showed him wat a .50 cal can do to a person.

nah,the town was clear,we checked it while we were searching for guns.we would be already dead if there was an other player with a weapon around.otherwise we would both sneak to the hospital and loot without alerting zombies and players.

my worst time getting betrayed was when i accidentaly found a group of 5 guys,while i was riding my bicycle :P as a freash spawn,and really happy to find a bicycle i just ride it around ringing the bell xD

I had zombies on my ass,and i saw the 5 of them,right in the middle of the streer ponting their lee enfields at me.i was sure i was gonna die so i didnt stop,just continue riding :P They saved me from my zombies,and in reward i gave them my bicycle :P I asked if i can stick with them,they said ok,we looted a hospital together,there was a guy on the roof though,he took down 2 of the guys with me,i risked my life dragging them under heavy fire,i saved one of them,and looted the other,then i went up the ladder and executed the guy that attacked us,then they came up,i told them it's clear and im the guy with the bicycle,so they can at least let me go,they said thank you,but we cannot trust you know you have a gun,and they just emptied their weapons on me..

I think when you both don't have weapons it is a lot easier to relax and trust others. I certainly did when I first started. Add a gun to the equation and it only takes 1 second of your back turned or you to hesitate thinking someone is friendly and your gone.

Once you have a group, it's best to stick to it and not engage others with weapons.

My post is not about shooting on sight,but about trust,when it's easier to trust someone.
