I agree with most of the things you said I do believe there are katanas that have been made that can take limbs of with one cut so some swords can do serious damage in one cut yet its not just the sword that does the cut its technique and training. and I also agree it usually wasn't a point to cut off limbs but to cut major arteries if a limb goes with it all the more better. and as for gore in the game I would love to see it but I don't think we will honestly I'd rather them work on everything else that needs to be done then when its finished add in that stuff maybe a clever modder will grace us with a gore mod or some mod when you can take off limbs etc I think the the content of this game is only limited to the folks that mod and of course the time the devs want to invest and the amount of patience the players have which sometimes is very little.

did you try the newer towns up north I read and hear a lot of action goes on up there but things change day to day it seems as to where the hotspots are maybe you were on a server full of woodsman or something goodluck.

good story sir. you seem like you got the hang of it hope to hear more stories once you get more hours to see how your perspective changes if it does.

its sad that cheaters are actually making the devs stop making great features and bug smashing to stop there asses makes me want to take the hands of said cheaters and make a nice necklace. oh well done when its done I guess. I'd rather have a slow development with no cheaters than an otherwise awesome game plagued with them.

once I get the bright green energized and thirst and healthy status I don't have to eat much never really thought of it as an issue I play stable though as well not sure about experimental. hmmmmm I'm sure it just need adjustments though I mean the games not finished I'm used to playing this game with things going in extreme directions though its usually temporary I say be patient and if not I guess see ya later when the game is full version complete.

I read and see all these youtube videos of folks calling themselves bandits and all I see Is plain murder so I call them murderers not bandits. Am I wrong in that assumption? does the definition for bandit not apply to dayz? If I kill someone for no reason or for shits and giggles is that doing banditry I see it as thrill killing/murder I remember when I first started playing I got held up by a group of gents and they had me in a situation I could not escape or run from it was die or give them my stuff. I've also been baited( I was a noob)into thinking it was someone who needed help and bam a trap sprung robbed again but still alive. I used to fear and also respect the play style. I figured it took some skill and some brains to come up with fresh traps/schemes to get players gear. so am I being harsh are bandits now just killers that use the title bandit because they think it sounds cool or makes them MLG. I don't know I just thought of bandits being a title like hero the best of the best not just some kid that shoots everything that moves. oh and I do agree KOS has its place and so do murderers but like I said above in my opinion if you do those things I don't consider you a bandit.

it also looks like it would be like carrying around a concrete block.

I love when you British guys talk shit still sounds classy. had to edit just to say I couldn't stop laughing nice vid man.

haha I could see a funny dayz vid made with that in mind.

some of you snipers might want this for easy mode shooting lol

I've said it before and I say it again I want a BAR(browning automatic rifle) I want the 30-06 I want to be able to weld 2 mags together to make a 40 rounder that's all I need all I want don't know how it would get to chenarus and frankly I don't care maybe some collector died and had one.

it would be nice if the quality of ammunition did play a part in how it functioned like misfire not ejecting correctly causing a jam. it would also be nice if eventually we could pick our casings and reload rounds at our base. I'm sure there would be primers and gunpowder at mil areas hell even farms

that would be a great addition to dayz I think but I also know you can brutalize an AK and Russian equipment and the damn gun will still fire they are designed for the worst kind of conditions a lot of the guns they've added can hold up to a lot of abuse except maybe the AUG or the M4(I love American guns not hating just stating a fact)in which they are more finely tuned and don't have as much play in the mechanisms for mud and dirt and possibly even ice. I've seen cats stick AK's in mud I mean real thick swamp mud and leave it pull it out and shoot 3 mags through it. hell if they added any glocks or g series pistols if you had one of those and an AK variant you'd have 2 really reliable platforms to protect yourself.

next our toons will be staring at spoons trying to bend them into shivs

I know this sounds funny coming from a more neutral type of survivor but I hope I get held up by you some day. just to see what happens I wonder now how it would play out. still good to see some old school banditos still roam chenarus you guys and gals are unicorns in this day and age of dayz. have these beans.

well sir it used to kinda be like that now things have changed I think you missed the point or I'm not very good at explaining myself which I'm not going to do I think a lot of folks have very good opinions in this thread about what a bandit is and what the term has become that's all I was trying to do is see what others think the term means now what it meant in the mod so read a few and post what you really think.

has nothing to do with being lazy or saving me time in this game I welcome death I make sweet love to her plenty. I just liked the traps and the fact that the brain is actually the greatest tool in your arsenal in dayz yes I do have a romanticized definition of bandits history has shown most folks do look at robin hood or the mafia. I just miss the ol'days of traps being sprung and at least getting fucked with and those threatening vibes of impending doom right before you either die or they let you go. And that all comes down to your gift of gab(the brain)can I talk myself out of this situation has this guy/gal already decided I'm going to die what should I do what are my choices do I even have one. adrenaline is a hell of a drug. KOS does get the paranoia meter up but nothing beats a good'ol fashioned hold up to really get the holy shit meter through the roof. from the comments I've read I have to agree and I already kind of new before I started the topic that the term and the playstyle has evolved as such the word its kinda like the word fuck it can be used for a lot of things in a lot of situations.

yeah I had that the other day either keep joining servers till it worked or open operation arrowhead that way if it fails you can just escape and try again eventually it will work. there might be an easier way but that's what I did.

realism to me is weight and stamina those to things would change the game so much to me in a good way to others BUTTTTTTHUUUUURTTTTT.

I wonder how cold February would be wonder if we'll ever get snowfall.

from STALKER bandit NPC's.

I seen they are adding a prison uniform if they added a mullet I could dress as nick cage from con air lol.

I meant effects but I see what you mean if you use it on yourself you should get some reaction like if you used the morphine. makes sense sry forgot you could actually hit yourself with it. and if I know dayz I think the effects will have more negatives than positives but still I think it should have some kind of effect be it positive or negative just like booze or the morphine hell if it was made authentic you would pass out your toon would be nodding off every so often lol but then you could use epi but with the chance of heart failure.

seems like what your describing above is cocaine lol. I thought It was added to wake you up while being knocked out so in that regard I see why you can't use it on yourself. But your wanting to use it as an enhancement drug correct hmmmmm if they can make it authentic then what the hell. I watched a medical video of a cat getting a dose of adrenaline/epi and he was shaking like hell no way you could shoot straight but I think you want more of a shot like this.

I love the mod I've put more time into it than any other game I've ever bought/played. I love the vanilla mod the most as epoch seems to easy most of the time yet it does still have some challenges especially if your being chased by a SUV with a mini gun on top. compared to SA well as of now i'll choose the MOD honeslty I don't play much SA I just find it boring a new patch comes out I see what it has to offer and then an hour later I'm loading up commander to play the mod again not because it has vehicles or heli's one reson being is it does have a lot more zeds and the player encounters to me are a lot more exciting it seems to take longer to get geared and sometimes pretty hard to find food(like I said sometimes) it just feels to me like its more of a survival game. I do have high hopes for SA and I do hope that eventually I spend as much time on it as I do in the mod I think its just gonna be down the road when more stuff is tweaked and its not so easy. sometimes I think where they made every house enterable they actually made the game a lot easier to survive a town in the mod where you might have 2 buildings with loot now has 8 buildings with clothing guns and food so the odds always seem in your favor in that game where as the mod the dayz gods are always cursing you and making your life hell.
