Finkle 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Sorry if this is in the wrong place.. I just had kind of an amusing and weird experience and wanted to share :)I was running around looting a smaller town and I thought I was the only one there. Suddenly, I happened upon a building with a survivor in it sho looked frozen in place, staring at a pile of loot. At first I thought he was dead but as I got closer I realized he wasn't. At this time the server I was on was acting really flaky; lots of red and yellow chains, stuff not going into my pack right away, etc. so I figured the guy was just lagging and any moment he would "wake up"Now up until recently I've played as mostly a true neutral survivor. I prefer avoiding contact with anyone if possible. I used to be willing to join up with people I met but lately I've had a run of pretty painful betrayals.. Which is fine, it's part of the game.. But it's been making me much more paranoid lately. So without really thinking I raise my 1911 and offer a single gunshot to his forehead. His forehead accepted my offer and then suddenly he disappeared. So I just figured he disconnected and I was a little annoyed that there was nothing to loot but, oh well, moving on..A few seconds later someone in side chat says "omg how did I died!!?? D: there were no zombies or players anywhere!". So I walk into a nearby barn and sure enough, there is his body lying dead with lots of much needed loot. As he ranted in the chat someone suggested that maybe he died of a brain aneurism.. So it was the perfect crime really.. To him it looked like he just fell down dead for no reason so it's a mystery :) I've had my fair share of frantic gunfights but this was my most amusing encounter I must say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidje 38 Posted June 12, 2012 From the suggestions I read, the game has local hit detection, meaning that if you hit someone on your PC, it does not matter where they actually are, if your client thinks you shot someone, it is sent to the server and the server passes it on to the person you have hit.So these kind of things happen :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finkle 0 Posted June 12, 2012 Haha yeah I thought about that.. If he reads this and finds out it was me.. Sorry man, just know all the food you were carrying was sorely needed because I was super-low on blood. And for what it's worth I felt, like, REALLY bad about it afterwards...
