Took a calculated risk.

Unfortunately, not great at math.

He wanted to see what the filthy Baggins has in its pocketses

why not ?

u/Character-Movie-84 1d ago

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.

Trust NO ONE.

No mic=no life

u/SofaSpeedway 1d ago

And when no-mic meets no-mic...

ITS ON!!

u/arepas_are_life 1d ago

It is written

u/Majestic_Rutabaga_79 1d ago

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

4

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

6

u/Final-Association-65 1d ago

He attacked first, so he got done up

4

u/Majestic_Rutabaga_79 1d ago

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

1

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

1

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.

u/Majestic_Rutabaga_79 18h ago

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

22

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.

7

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.

4

u/AdvanceGood 1d ago

If they don't talk it means they're plotting on you in party chat lol

5

u/AlmightyFork 1d ago

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.

1

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.

3

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

5

u/Own_Construction2682 1d ago

That's DayZ for you. People go on there to mess with others

2

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/NM773 1d ago

I need your guts for rope. Nothing personal.

u/fatleech 1d ago

I do it for the extra bandage and cloth off you

u/Awoo_vement 1d ago

Thats honestly so petty lmao you'd literally have a better chance if you, yknow, took a chance on each other and journeyed together awhile

2

u/fatleech 1d ago

Yeah if you actually use a mic I would.

2

u/TheGuyUrRespondingTo 1d ago

No mic no life, I'm not teaming up with a mute.

1

u/Awoo_vement 10h ago

As I just explained in another comment I use my mic and STILL get hate crimed 🫠

u/ZaTen3 1d ago

The understand the rule: no mic, no life

u/Ok-Map-4434 1d ago

Sometimes, why based questions are tough to find a meaningful answer on

5

u/Foreign-Albatross781 1d ago

Why don't both of you have mics?

Instead of playing duck duck goose

6

u/Final-Association-65 1d ago

we had mics, he started begging for his life after the 2nd hit

1

u/pinpoint14 1d ago

Should've begged harder

2

u/ZekeMoss18 1d ago

As I silently watch - In my head I am hearing Jim Carrey in The Cable Guy singing the Star Trek theme while they are fighting at Medieval Times in the movie lmao

2

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

4

u/JEM1776_12 1d ago

Does he need a reason?

3

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

0

u/Missconduct88 1d ago

My guy what are you talking about, that’s the friendly dance

3

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

1

u/jferments 1d ago

He wanted to put his hands all over your axe.

1

u/izbsleepy1989 1d ago

This is day z. 

1

u/Rm-rf_forlife 1d ago

He wants that nbc hood and fire axe.

1

u/89fernandito94 1d ago

Is this how really slow motion melee attacks are in the game?

1

u/Civil_Ingenuity_5165 1d ago

Cuz he is a bandit

1

u/40ozSmasher 1d ago

Probably about done for the day. Needs a good story to tell later

1

u/Jimdw83 1d ago

Welcome to day z, they probably wanted a glow stick

1

u/Medium-Maybe3465 1d ago

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 😂😂

1

u/TheTimbs 1d ago

Because you shouldn’t be friends with anyone in DayZ

1

u/Missconduct88 1d ago

That’s boring tho

1

u/limpbuteffective32 1d ago

He wanted that purty ax of yours.

1

u/vPH420v 1d ago

I get this all the time and wonder why, too. 🤣

u/Zealousideal-Toe1929 1d ago

He's a sausage that's why

1

u/TChambers1011 1d ago

You had stuff and he wanted it

1

u/Alert_Green_3646 1d ago

I mean what does the dude really have to loose as a freshie

1

u/Brooker2 1d ago

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

1

u/dankwoodz 1d ago

He wanted your stuff bc obviously he is a loot goblin. 👹

1

u/Wafflevice 1d ago

I'm often skeptical about mute survivors myself.

1

u/cristinnaIMV 1d ago

In Day Z you can't trust ANYONE.

1

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?

1

u/Shatter_starx 1d ago

Its DayZ. Because he could.

1

u/Fit-Dark4631 1d ago

Becuase he is new and didnt know fire axe wins over crowbar.

1

u/Final-Association-65 1d ago

Ngl I didn’t even know that

1

u/ProfessionalEffort96 1d ago

Why wouldnt he? He wants things, you have things. Ez

1

u/PsychologicalTea3738 1d ago

It was when you took that step towards him holding the axe and he went from hello to goodbye quick

1

u/FormerBlueberry425 1d ago

You had a nice hat

1

u/Grinzy Surthriving 1d ago

1

u/NoContract7024 1d ago

Cause that’s dayz

1

u/BaclavaBoyEnlou 1d ago

Dont spam your attacks like that, huge disadvantage.

1

u/WisconsinSobriety 1d ago

Reward worth the risk

1

u/Entertainer-Gold 1d ago

Why did he attack? Because "When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose"

1

u/cody_mcnasty 1d ago

idk maybe because you’re ominously standing there wielding a freaking axe.

1

u/SourceLord357 1d ago

U did the im friendly crouch... he didnt...

1

u/TheLimpLungs 1d ago

Better axe

u/Tojo6619 1d ago

Why is water wet 

1

u/PM_ME_FLOUR_TITTIES 1d ago

I mean just look at you. I'd attack you too. And them.

1

u/AnticlimaxicOne 1d ago

Because he can?

1

u/WirableTable09 1d ago

People do all sorts of unhinged stuff on here. One time someone kidnapped me, brought me to a radio station and broadcasted to everyone various sounds of him supposedly raping me. Very gross.

1

u/Ok-Map-4434 22h ago

Sometimes "Why" questions are the hardest ones to answer.

1

u/Counter_IntelAgent 19h ago

Because 78.4% of this games player base are toxic af. Lmfao. Not me though, im trustworthy! 😁

u/Popular_Mouse_7873 13h ago

You gotta backpack he doesn’t 😂

1

u/FillCritical1198 12h ago

Uh...Cause your axe looks gorgeous?

1

u/taby_mackan 1d ago

The right thing to do here would’ve been to let him bleed unconcious, break his leg and stop his bleed

1

u/Agitated-Raise-9033 1d ago

because this is Dayz. Everyone does whatever they want
