LOL! My 27th is tomorrow. :D High-five Rocket!

It annoys me a little but only as I can't get on any bloody servers! I'm so obsessed with this mod that I get up between half 7 and 8AM (GMT) so that I can actually play it. However, since so many people are giving it a go (and rightly so) I still can't.

I get scared by mass hordes of zombies but I'm truly scared when facing off with bandits. These fuckers want everything I have and then some... Playing with a friend and we were ninja'ing our way through some woods to which came to an end, we kept our cover & peered down our binoculars to scope the open fields in front of us. Moving my vision cautiously from left to right (at the same time) my friend and I spot two humans; bandits! We watch them cheese it up the side road they were on, and decide to slowly move back into the woods trying, hoping, not to give our position away. Whilst my friend started backing off I was keeping watch. These bastards knew exactly where we were. They changed their course slightly and charged towards us. My heart was racing even though I knew we had some distance between us. I turn my head to see my wingman had vanished into the woods. I'm starting to get the shakes. As I enter the woods these magicians have managed to get to my position almost immediately - couldn't believe how quickly they got there. My wingman was yelling to run, so I punched it far into the woods to gain some space and try to regroup. I pass him on the other side of the trees which started to thin out. I jumped behind a boulder a little distance away from him, only to hear gunfire. Unfortunately, these bastards had killed him. They looted his still warm corpse and decided to cook off the meat they had stolen from his backpack. As we had just come from the NW airfield they had also taken his new prized possession; a silenced MP5. I was fuming! I wanted blood, but I was terrified I'd lose all of my hard earned gear. I waited and as darkness fell they proceeded to eat away. A f'ing victory dinner of beef and pork. I slowly and carefully edged towards them. As soon as I had a clear line of sight I proceeded to fire. Now these bandits managed to warp a hundred plus yards but I managed to take one sucker down. The rest of this story becomes a pitch black waiting game before I went to check over the corpse. The other managed t'get into cover, remove all the loot from his butt-buddy and then log off incredibly quickly. Since that day, I have sworn to eradicate any bandits I meet. That was my first proper bandit encounter and made me feel something a game has never truly made me feel. I love DayZ, I love it!

Thank you for very much Worrom! Rep given.

I think it's a reoccurring bug that hasn't truly been ironed out yet. I had the same problem this morning and pretty much all of last week. Usually a server restart solves it, temporarily. There are a lot of threads in the forums about it though.

Hello everyone, my name is Jack Pepsi and I'm an alcoholic. I'm from the UK, and I've been waiting for this mod for years! I'm the co-creator/founder of "clan" BeeR to which doesn't really exist as a proper gaming clan but more of a large bunch of friends that drink and game together. I haven't been playing DayZ for very long but I'm unhealthy obsessed. My colleagues are almost sick of me reliving my stories that occur within this mod. As my signature states, I'm always friendly unless you are bandit scum. I tend to stay clear of people because in a world like this, you can't trust many. I look forward to seeing many of you server side. Thank you Day Z Dev team, thank you! :D

With the current level of (im)maturity on the forums and in the game, I think adding in females characters (now) would be frivolous and food for the trolls. As Ketsugo stated; other things are more important such as loot not spawning! >.<

Treat people the way you'd like to be treated. That's my ethos in game and in (real) life. However, if you're a dick to me, I'll be a complete cunt back. As my forum sig suggests, I'm always friendly, unless you're a bandit scumbag! I generally tend to avoid teaming up with other survivors as I can't trust anyone but I won't shoot on sight and if I get shot at by a survivor, I'll run away like a little girl as I don't want to become a bandit. I may wound someone mind.

I have a love hate relationship with bandits; I love the fact they're in the game, but hate it when they take you down & steal your stuff. As of yet, I haven't been killed by one, that I know of anyway. After two bandits killed my clan mate I've sworn that any bandit I come across will feel the full brunt of my wrath! Bandits of Chernaurs be warned! :D

No. Keep bandits. They create so much tension when you come across them. I have a love hate relationship with bandits.
