Ok, thank you for clarifying. Come back to the light side though, please :P

I tend to stick away from servers with starting gear, not only does it take away the goals of the game and encourage banditry (like you said), but they attract a lot of noobs and a trigger-happy bambi is the last thing you want to see in this game. :| The horror.

Even though I play hero, ghillie suits are questionable, as most turn out to be bandits or at least hostile. The whole car thing was definitely an act of aggression, even if they were so damn stupid they thought they could stop a Humvee with what sounds like a GAZ or another civilian car.

Elektro sniper hill. Killing the snipers there.

I know... I was waiting for a "I spared the helpless person crawling on the ground or gave the car to someone..." but there wasn't any of that. And I don't see how your response "New server" implies anything at all.

I love this idea. I really do. I think there should more teams like this. Count me in.

Well, to start off I posted this topic so people would be aware of the current stats of DayZ, as I didn't know the situation until now. As of 5/16/13, the current ratio of heros to bandits is 1:3.4, or 1 hero to roughly every 3 bandits. This is for EVERY hero that has been alive THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE GAME to just the amount of bandits alive ATM. 1 out of every 8 players is a bandit. 30% of all deaths are deaths of a bandit (the bandit was killed). The distance players have walked is equivalent to walking the entire map 75,039 times. For every player death there has been 53 zombie deaths. For every unique character created, 2% have been/are heros (this includes bandits that bloodbag friends to trick other players, and those bastards shouldn't count). DayZ has been played in total 2,909 years. (That's a lot of :beans:s) These stats were taken from the official DayZ website, however they are just from public hives, as Fraggle confirmed. If I screwed up post in the comments below. Hope you guys found these as interesting as I did. Have a good day, -BambiAvenger

Now I can go and heal all the bambies that are going to shoot each other when they bump into each other. :D

A bounty in real cash, not in-game weapons? I don't think this has ever been done before. I applaud you for thinking out of the box.

Same here, these were very interesting to me even if they were somewhat inaccurate. I would love to see total stats for DayZ, but I don't think they're going to get that information from private hives. It kinda blows your mind just to think that on public hives only there have been 2,900 years played. And with most players (including myself) rarely going on pub hives anymore due to hackers and shitty admins, can't image what the total stats look like.

Murder City Devils... kinda badass, but not necessarily warm and welcoming. Did you guys just take the two things that reminded you of DayZ and smack city in the middle? :P Jk I'll check you guys out

Yes, I tried to change the title after I posted this, but it doesn't work like that :P . Guess it's been awhile. And thank you, I did all the calculations myself :lol: .

^^^^^^^ That is a shame, however, it still clarifies the situation that I was most interested in, the bandit:hero ratio. It might not be extremely accurate, however it gives a clearer view of the DayZ audience.

I am aware that the bandit skin has changed, and that is probably the most likely course.

I find balota buddies have very good staff and I have never encountered admin abuse on those servers.

I have a high amount of respect for you, I understand the difficulty of changing play-styles and how much more difficult being a hero seems after coming from being a bandit. Have fun and if you need someone to assist you or just have some fun with join my hero group on steam or pm me on either steam or this forum. http://steamcommunit...ps/dayzheroclan

No, because if I killed someone it's because they were about to kill me. I don't just go around killing people for no reason, I don't shoot unless threatened.

Sounds cool, once I get my pc fixed I'll see if I can hop on. I am a hero but I like that hunting bandits is encouraged and the fact that you can own land is cool. EDIT: I'm not seeing any materials yet for the bunkers, deer stands, (all the cool stuff). Do you need to do quests for that? or have you guys not come up with the required materials yet?

I'll sub as soon as I get home. Maybe we could play sometime, I am quite obviously a hero so we might have different play-styles, but I've worked around it before.

Exactly my thinking. Bandits already have enough perks with an easier play-style with less risk of death during encounters with players, easier ways to acquire gear, a 90% majority, and now we are creating something that is mainly directed towards making their lives EASIER. People need to learn to take some risks in this game, and not just sit up on a hill in Elektro with a new-found AS50 or DMR.

As much as I don't like bandit videos (there's just too many), it was an entertaining vid and the end made me lmfao.

This is a cool idea, however part of the dynamic part of the game is the fact that (if you dont have any friends that play dayz) you have to take that risk and ask people to help you. With this I just see people hanging in the back of the map bagging themselves and not having any player interaction.

^^^^ Same here. This is a good idea, I would like to see this implemented in the SA.

Hello wonderful forum. I started a hero group a couple months back, but it didn't really get kickstarted. I'm setting up a casual gaming group for heros. If you are interested in joining, here is the steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dayzheroclan See you all soon!

I would, it's a great game and the SA has been pushed back past June.
