Malmortius 17 Posted September 3, 2012 I love helping people in DayZ, but with all the random killing going on its hard to do it often. I never shoot first so i'm usually restarting alot.I just had a great little moment that made me hope there is a future for DayZ. At least the survivor helping survivor part of it.I was running through cherno and came across a guy crawling on the floor, with an axe. He immediately said "Don't shoot! i only have an axe" i said "No worries brother, i'm a friendly." He proceeded to ask if i could give him a transfusion, and that hes running to the coast to meet up with friends. I said no problem.I killed a few of the zombies around him and we chatted just a little. Afterwards i offered him a gun, my Winchester with 2 mags. (I still had a makarov with about 8 mags) and he asked if i wanted to come to his friends, i said sure. In the back of my mind i was expecting him to shoot me, since i had a big backpack, camo(Not guille suit, the other one) and lots of supplies. But he didn't.As we were getting over the hill, a sniper started shooting, taking pot shots just around us (i could literally see zombies actually dropping around us, since we were being chased. he might have actually been trying to help us) We ended up getting split up when we were overrun and i pulled them off the guy and ran into the forest.Nothing spectacular, but theres been many times when ive given them a gun and they've killed me and taken everything. Thats part of the game, but it happens way more than it should considering a guys generosity.I'm just happy when things like this happen, it really gives you the nice feeling of helping somebody out. And maybe that person will do the same for the next! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sasrecon 133 Posted September 3, 2012 Those few encounters where you form a bond of trust with a completely random player on the other side of the world make those many gone-wrong encounters worth it :)I'm glad this mod is done on the RV engine, if this game was all arcadey you wouldn't be experiencing emotions, you would just be experiencing short-lived satisfaction from xp or level-ups.I don't play in a clan because I like to think I have at least a tiny bit of faith in humanity that every once in a while I can help a random player without being shot and maybe one day, someone will be able to return the favour when I need it, if you play in a group too much it's easy to forget the basics of survival and much harder to control the situation if things turn bad. Now I don't wanna get any more philosophical but cheers for making this thread, time to launch dayz and gear-up after my last death rage-quit xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zombiecore 6 Posted September 3, 2012 I completely agree with this, I have been playing the game since earlier betas, and mostly played alone until one day in Zelenogorsk I heard someone running around town like a mad man with quite a few zeds on him. Now normally I just hide and let the world take what it will, but I hadnt seen anyone in about a week so I was anxious to see who it was. Once I saw the man in question was hidden inside a house with about 15 zeds around him I decided to help him out ( I had been alive for about 20 days at this point and no longer cared about losing all my awesome gear, plus I needed matches in a bad way :) Once I had cleared all the zeds around him and near me, the player emerged from the house and to my surprise didnt shoot me. Once he got his direct comms working I found out he was hurt bad and out of ammo, so he and I looted Zeleno did some minor traveling and just overall had a fun time together. We only parted because I had to log to cook dinner, but if I could find that guy again I would play with him more and more...and thats saying a lot for me because like I said I played the game always solo. So KEVIN if you're out there, Im still kicking it on US 1308, so come find me maybe?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yadidle 5 Posted September 3, 2012 I just bandaged a fresh newbie in the Elekra firestation yesterday. He ran up on me and scared me witless. Said he needed food,water, and a bandage and quickly helped him and mowed down the zombies chasing him.It's the little things that make this game worth it.
