So does this make me an asshole?

You don't need our approval. If you want to shoot someone, go ahead, nothing's stopping you.

I also think its kind of impossible NOT to end up being a bandit though (from a single player perspective because im a lone wolf - that and im too casual to team up on this game)

So i'm walking around Cherno and some new spawn walks into my view, hes got nothing and ive got a m14aim, im not sure if thats it, its the gun that takes the DMR mags that isnt a DMR. Anyways he salutes me and walks around with me, and then we go into a house in cherno, he picks up a makarov and starts shooting at me with it, well a few back scratches later i put him down with a couple of rounds to the face, and suddenly IM THE BAD GUY? I lose humanity for that ???

Oh thanks!

Also this game is sooooo easily geared towards a co-operative experience, from the single player perspective it's just extra tedium added. For example, I imagine if you do lose humanity and u do have a group, well no problem, just blood transfusion till you make it all back, ta daa!

For the struggling single player man, oh nooo sorrry pal, you gottah take a chance on helping someone who isnt going to turn their gun on you for the sole purpose of getting rid of that nasty bandit skin, i want my old grandpa skin back :/

On the subject of blood transufusions AGAIN another health regain soloution made easy for the co-operative player, they should be self administarable in some specific areas like a hospital!

Regaining blood for the single player isn't hard its just fucking tedious let alone not very realistic - i mean think of it, got shot in the face by a hand gun? zombies just taken a chunk out of your arm? your at 3k health?! Oh don't worry just binge eat 12 steaks. Now i know this post has taken somewhat of a tangent from being about PvP to surviving as a lone wolf, but whatever i made this thread dag nabbit

I like your points, electroban. :thumbsup:

No, you're not an asshole for killing someone who uses global comms. Quite the contrary.

Any time I'm on a a private server that ends up having Side Chat enabled, I make it a point to slay anyone I can find who uses sidechat (text or voice). I never say that's why I kill them (I never talk to them in the first place), but it's my way of silently punishing people who think side chat is a good thing. They never know that's the only reason I shot them, but it's hilarious to me all the same. My own personal and silent enjoyment.

I much prefer servers without side chat, but if I end up getting a hankering for Lingor/etc. and I happen to unwittingly hit one that has sidechat, it just becomes a personal game of "hunt the chatter queens" which is almost a bonus in of itself. What they don't know (that I only killed them for using sidenchat) doesn't bother them, and I get the satisfaction of killing idiots. Everybody wins.

Am I the only one that has an intense desire to find Venthos and bait him using fake chatter?

Yeah well it's all good I got taught a lesson by a hacker, I decided to take the risk of going to a high pop pub server to see if cheating has died down, nah of course it hasnt. The typical genius hacker just spawns in behind u and shoots you in the back, gg. Back to the good ole shit grind of going to a low pop server getting gear, then trying again in a high pop server, probably to get killed again and then back to the shit grind great circle, lots of shit.

This game is such a total shit grind its unbeleivable. I can't remember the last time I was legitimatley killed. I guess then again if i had a clan or group of players to role with i wudnt be in so much trouble because we'd have a huge field of duped tents. But hey, single player ftw. i love shitgrinds

I haven't seen a hacker for a while, but when I do, it's usually by the works of flying the Hacker Teleportation Airlines.

But I ain't even mad. To be honest, I just laugh, because I know that it's just some noob who really can't play the game and just decides to ruin the fun for everyone else. It would make a bit more sense to play in high pop. servers though, since the odds of getting the hacker are far higher, if not guaranteed.

Just remember, the game want's you to survive. At least you are playing the game while others are thinking they can win the game by having all the good supplies.

Then I'm the one in ten who isn't. :P

me too!!! so what it makes us? 2/10?

[sostronk 334]

Its a survival game. Players need to learn to defend themselves better.

nah that would be 2/20

and you know the saying, 9/10 people enjoy gang rape

Being nice and helping other players is hard and a big risk, but I do it anyway. I do what I can to keep the little peace in Day Z.
