Wow, EVO is such a great mod, the extra guns are awesome and the FPS is superb considering the amount of extra stuff, also there are some subtle additions that really improve the DayZ, for example a new vaulting animation. The community is good but the active players are a little low in general (busy on events though) which is a shame because it really deserves more players. The admins are good too and are happy to help set up mini events which are always a blast. Plus as an added bonus: there are plenty of RF to kill ;D

THANK YOU! Have all my beans plus my Enfield ;D

Ok, I have started a steam group for people who want to team and fight bandits. It is called Elite Bandit Response Team (Yeh, the name is kind of a joke) and the idea is that we collect weapons and equip friendly bambis and fight bandits across the map. It's public and should be a good laugh I think. So anyone interested, it's a public group, so look it up :D

DayZ is great, and I am really looking forward to the standalone game, I think it will revolutionise the zombie genre. But there is one thing that kinda ruins the experience for me. Bandits. I don't mind bandits in smaller numbers, it just annoys me that the VAST majority of players just shoot on sight. I think to lower the amount of PvP kills maybe there should be some kind of sanity meter in game or something. Maybe like a conscience meter. If you go around killing tons of other players there should be some kind of "punishment" at least, because at the moment, the benefits of killing and looting other players outweighs the non-existent down side of doing it. I would just like the game to go back to the way it used to be where it was like 1/30 players were bandits, there was a real thrill from not knowing who to trust. And now I know exactly who not to trust...anyone else playing (minus RL friends). I don't kill other players, I run up shouting friendly with my gun not at the ready. But this always ends one way, me being shot in the face then robbed. The conscience bar, in my head at least, would resemble the food or drink bars, a little brain shape on the right side of the screen. I don't really know what kind of punishment one should receive for killing other players, maybe they get the shakes from going slowly insane, certainly something that is equally negative as killing and looting is positive. Any ideas fellow DayZers?
