A lot of people seem to agree with the sentiment of the game is that since its a sandbox you can play however you want. This isn't the case. It may have been at the time of creation, but not now. The fact of the matter is that KoS players restrict other players from playing how they want to. A lot of new players are born into a KoS world and adopt that because they haven't been exposed to other playstyles because they get killed on the coast. This leads to more KoS and introduces more new players to it. Give it a term like "banditry" and that makes it more appealing to new players. By this point the cycle has completely overshadowed other playstyles and my hope is that the SA fixes this. Until then, I'm sticking to things in regular Arma like the Life missions. There you can actually roleplay and not get shot on sight like (not trying to be some old bitter fart) the good ol' days.

There's a difference between being a troll and just being a dick.

You became a hero? Bloodbagging the people you shoot doesn't count.

Part of your motto is honor, but you kill on sight. Oh well, have fun with that, good luck recruiting and I hope I meet you in a dark alley of Cherno some day.

Hello, most of you might remember me as being a hero as I was one for quite a while. I have to say though, I had a major event in DayZ that caused a return to my bandit roots (I was a bandit when DayZ first came out, then converted to hero when all the deathmatch "banditry" bullshit started). I recently saw something about the new housing feature in Origins and really want to get into that mod as I'm getting a little bored with vanilla. I'm looking for anywhere from 3-4 guys (or girls) up to 8-9 to start a bandit squad on a good Origins server. You don't need experience, I'll be learning the mod as I go so don't worry if you've never played before, I haven't either. But let me make one thing clear. We are going to do actual banditry. Kidnappings, extortion, ransoms, roadblocks, and the like. We only kill as a last resort if we are fired on or if the target will not comply. Then we will kill them and anyone in their group with extreme prejudice. We also do not target fresh spawns. If we end up holding up a fresh spawn if anything we will offer him a ride or weapon. If he does not follow our directions to a letter, we let him know that fresh spawn or not if you don't go along with it we can kill you in a heartbeat. We will help eachother build houses, making a small complex to operate out of, go to salvation city and all that good stuff. But if you kill unprovoked, deathmatch in any way or kill fresh spawns I'll kill you on the spot. The only requirements I have is that you be 18+ (will accept 16+ if necessary and you can prove you're mature enough) have a working mic and enjoy old style banditry. (Sorry for the wall of text, my enter key is fucked up on dayzmod for some reason)

I might try to keep this thread going and just edit it every week so people can find it. Nothing this week unfortunately, my wonderful hard drive is having memory issues and has been in and out of the shop all week, next week we will get it back up for sure.

Yeah this week was a bit rough, I'm in the middle of an unexpected move and nobody other than you found the new topic, going to advertise more and try again next week to get things back on track.

Seriously, the military even does it now. It's called a bayonet.

Sounds pretty cool, might give a use for NVGs on all-day servers.

Oh, no, they're not gone. There are still plenty here. They're just all up north. You know, the place you go once you leave the coast.

It means instead of killing you they had the ability to manage to get your stuff without shooting, that's much harder than just shooting someone and taking their stuff.

We're going to think about that one, on one hand it was nice to spawn randomly because we could keep the server locked until we start to prevent cheating, but on the other people who spawn in cherno/elektro would have advantages over those in kamenka, krutoy cap, etc I think we will keep the biplane a mystery, making you guys split up to check both airfields might be more interesting :P

We have every right to be here, I am in fact a hero but a reformed bandit as well. You have your opinions we have ours, nobody is restricted from voicing theirs. Sorry to dissapoint if you were expecting a carebear bandit love-fest where everyone tells you you're right and encourages you.

Rocket has come out and said that if someone in the community ported DayZ to ArmA 3 he would not be opposed, but he would not do it himself nor would the dev team, and it would not be "offical" DayZ like the SA or the CO mod.

We are considering starting something like this for my clan's private hive, but instead of buying weapons it would buy stuff like skins (pay $xx and get camo clothing, etc.) excluding ghillies and actual humanity skins since we can't spawn those, or other minor things like spawning with an extra bandage or a thing of morphine, so basically for aesthetics and a bit of extra help for starting out in terms of defense, not offense. Any money we would make would either go into the hive rental or website and everything else would go back into the community as prizes for our Survival GameZ events, and I have no problems with us potentially operating like this. The problem is when people take this concept and plug in weapons. If you want to start out with that much gear to PvP, which is what I imagine most people who buy AS50s do, go play Wasteland or vanilla ArmA. You don't actually have to pay for your weapons there.
