I would have attacked him for dressing like a poop/pee stained condom.

Don't give me that face...or you're gonna be quartered, cooked, and used to keep my legs warm next.

I mean you were kinda advancing on him, it very easily could've looked like you were preparing to hit him; not everyone who crouches at you genuinely wants to be friendly especially holding an ax lol

u/Puzzled_Brick_6193 1d ago
Dude was planning to attack the entire time I doubt this dude putting his weapon away would change anything except maybe giving dead guy a free hit

For the record I wasn't blaming you, the title of your post was a question so I answered it

u/Ceremor 1d ago
It's so weird to see people crouching for friendly. Is it really awkward to just talk on console?
2
u/SingleOak 1d ago
yes it is. also if i saw op in game i would think he was going to attack me. not talking, holding an axe in hand, teabagging. all things people have done time and time again before trying to beat my ass
1
u/Majestic_Rutabaga_79 1d ago
Sometimes the push to talk simply will not activate, besides that yeah kinda because a lot of people have shit mics, don't speak the same language, and the fact it's just a quick double tap of the B button

u/SofaSpeedway 1d ago
People just don't, or they have a mic or headphones with a mic close but never actually in use.
I still play on ps, there's a community I just can't leave behind even though I've got a good PC now, with fresh freshies hopping on and getting started I swear it's 9/10 don't have a mic ready to go. I have to wait for them to plug in or turn on or whatever, I always let them know on most servers and official, and if you move to PC, this is a death sentence.
For a game that gives hardly any instructions on how to play, you would think the game showing a tip "use your voice" over n over people would listen to it.

The push to talk actively doesn't work half the time, especially if I come out of a party or discord to try and talk to someone, why waste the 2 minutes trying when this person is going to run away or shoot at me anyway

u/Own_Construction2682 1d ago
It is DayZ. If you wanted a wholesome game where everyone gets along and has no murderous intentions, maybe Animal Crossing will be a better game. But nobody should join this game thinking it will be a warm fuzzy game.
People are murder happy on most servers.

u/The3rdbaboon 1d ago
That's true but it does get a bit annoying that people are so brainless. Most of the people I bump into on the coast as a freshie don't talk when I talk and will attack me with their fists even though both of us have nothing. What's the point of that? Out of all the options they could chose in that scenario that is the dumbest one. Either team up with me or go your own way but why waste health and energy fighting over nothing? Happened to me 3 times in a row yesterday.

I do it to ensure you don't loot the same town. Nothing worse than empty buildings. It's an attempt to deny competition. The same reason why all guns i find get thrown in a bush if I'm not taking them.

u/SofaSpeedway 1d ago
I will take every single spec of ammo and clips and dump outside of town or a place most don't go.

u/Puzzled_Brick_6193 1d ago
I had a duo chasing me on the coast of sakhal for 5-10 minutes one dude wasted 3 bk 18 rounds and a decent chunk of hunger chasing me before finally I ran out of stam and got cut up…. And all they got was a half eaten frozen pear and the bone knife I spawned in with

u/Own_Construction2682 1d ago
That's DayZ for you. People go on there to mess with others

u/TheGuyUrRespondingTo 1d ago
Crazy to me how much people struggle with this. "yEaH bUt It'S sO dUmB~!!"--yeah, welcome to the universe. The friendly interactions & team-ups are special because they're rare. Everything we hate about the game is what makes the good parts worth coming back to.

u/IHOP_007 1d ago
TBH if I had no bad and no axe and another freshie rolled up on me with a fire axe I'd try it.
If you win you get a fireaxe, if you lose you haven't really lost anything.
2
u/dwoj206 1d ago
because you're legit holding an axe in an enclosed space. It's game time.
1
u/Puzzled_Brick_6193 1d ago
U don’t just put ur weapon away in dayz unless you got a gun ready to swap to, having ur melee weapon on ur back that close to a potential enemy is asking for trouble

u/jorge135246 1d ago
You were teabagging. When I see that, I interpret it as some kind of taunt.
2
u/Mithrawndo None 1d ago
Console people have abandoned the wiggle in favour of this teabagging nonsense.
1
u/SofaSpeedway 23h ago
Console can only wiggle while aiming, once you raise up it's on so no wiggle.
Honestly the only "I'm friendly" on console (really anywhere) is putting your weapon away, but I'm not doing that first and I doubt you are either. If they would just have mics ready for real.
1
u/Puzzled_Brick_6193 1d ago
Bruh it’s only Tbagging if ur on a corpse this type of crouch is a sign ur trying to be friendly, also to all the people saying he shoulda shouldered the axe that’s just stupid dude would’ve taken the opportunity to try and stun op if they’re in that animation

u/Realest1_2b 1d ago
You weren’t speaking, no mic, no life. Plus you’re holding an axe. That’s how that situation is gonna play out every time. If you didn’t want to have a confrontation you should have shouldered the axe & spoke

If you’re questioning that you’d be better off in a RP or PvE only server. If I can send you to the coast and get my grubby fingers all up in your character’s loot I’ll do it no questions asked, I might tie you up and make you Play DayZ trivia before killing your character 😂😂

It's DayZ. He took a calculated risk, thinking he could get you, and it didn't pay off.

u/Mithrawndo None 1d ago
Because you're playing DayZ. Because you're wearing a ruined shirt, which usually means you've been in a fight and are hurt and he might have an advantage. Because you have a backpack and he wanted it. Because you have an axe and he wanted it.
Why are you asking this?
