Swineflew

I feel like they're kind of a reward for killing someone who hacks. I don't think I've been in a situation where that's happened, I've never found a blatant hacker body. I can say I think I'd take the items.

This man speaks truth.

Not bad... Not bad at all...

Just spawned and there is a town pretty close. Get into town, lots of zeds. I find a hatched and manage to lose most of the zeds. I put myself in a bad situation and have to melee 2 zeds. I walk away with about 7k blood. Could have went much better, while bandaging a zed sneaks up on me and...... BREAKS MY LEGS. RAAAAAAAAAAAGE. I crawl around for like 10 minutes before I log off. I'm currently in the middle of a town with broken legs. Bah humbug.

Welcome to the internet.

It's one of those towns with like 6 houses. The chances of me finding morphine is pretty bad. Just hate that a zombie can punch me in the face and my leg breaks.

Wouldn't a group of bandits be even more super easy mode? Then a server of bandits could be like super duper supreme easy mode? Something like that?

Page 19. You guys need to stop feeding the troll.

I kill everyone I see, either by stealth, manipulation, or any means necessary. A lot of players seem to hate players like me. Some people don't understand players like me. Ask me anything I'll respond as honestly as I can. I'll ignore troll questions like "account number/password" stuff like that. I'm on my phone so responses might be slow till around 4eastern when I get home.

Does "any means necessary" include disconnecting if you're going to lose and/or server hopping for easy loot? If the answer is no then I do not hate you. I would gladly accept a death at your hands. If the answer is yes...well... Nah' date=' I don't really care about dying and I hate reconnecting to servers anyway. I will suicide if low on blood or something like that. I've though about doing login traps like I've done in eve before, but it never seemed worth the effort. [hr'] Um' date=' some of it is just kill them before they react, but most of the time I only have a pistol since I die often. I really do a lot of stalking and trying to close the gap on people who don't see me, i'll try and be sneaky and stuff like that. Lone wolves are easy to kill if you get the drop on someone, but killing groups can be done. I've killed people behind other peoples backs, shot people and claimed sniper, things like that. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. For this type of game im just not to big into grouping and gearing up to kill zeds or build a vehicle. I just don't see an endgame to it, no bigger goal or challenge I guess. [hr']

And now I'm hungry.....

I play a lot of team games, but games like this im allowed to be bad. I'm allowed I lie cheat and steal. It's not very often you get games that allow such brutal play styles. I can go home right now and play 100 different games that don't allow me to the things I can in dayz. Death doesn't mean anything in most games, eve comes to mind as another game I enjoy. I like being the villian. It's hard to put into words but I like games that have punishments for dying. I'm not a fan of pvp with no penalty of death.

I had thought about posting in the campfire section but it seemed like it was a bunch of recruiting threads and didn't really feel like the right place for an AMA. I'm not restricting these questions to be bandit related at all.

I play a lot of APB reloaded and I used to play a lot of tf2. I like the strategy and open endedness of this game. Ive actually been playing a lot more APB recently than dayz to be honest. I enjoy the survival theme of dayz. I don't mind being patient and biding time and gearing up and pitting myself against everyone I meet. I dont really consider shoot on sight a skill so to speak. I like to think that I strategize enough to be in a better position than someone else. I'm not going to say I'm a better fps person than anyone I kill, but I did gain the upper hand in some way.

I wouldn't consider myself a rarity, but I do feel like players who don't play a kos style or "villain/bad guy" don't understand it and may have questions. I enjoy being the bad guy, an obstacle to overcome. Ive played more games than I can count where I'm the good guy. I enjoy being evil when I can be.

Yea. I'll say I'm friendly or if I see them and I'm not in a position to kill them I'll tell them I need help or point them in the direction of supplies that don't exist to get them in a better situation for me to kill them. So I guess I'm not a kill on sight so to speak, but I fully intent to kill everyone that I see or interact with. Unless of course I think the situation is too risky then I'll go hide.

I can't resist replying. What was humanity and the bandit skin then? How is that not a numerical tally and getting flagged?

Unlike you I don't presume to know what people think or care about. I'm bored' date=' have some downtime so thought I may answer some questions. I guess I could let general discussion be filled with "pvp iz killing game" threads, but I thought an AMA might be interesting. If people aren't interested the thread will die, if they are it will go on until people don't care anymore. [hr']

Oh before I leave I was just wondering if you knew that bandit skins/flagging won't stop people at from killing players and even in my bandit skin all I have to do is say that I killed a survivor that tried to kill me and I got my skin and it's an easy out. I request this topic be locked. We already know your solutions to a non existant problem doesnt work.

Yea your "solution" doesn't change that situation at all. I'm done here, I hate to sound mean but you are obviously too stupid or too young to know what you're talking about. Although I assumed as much by your name, but I thought I'd give you a chance. We won't miss you when you quit.

So what's your solution to that "problem"?

You're acting like something changed and it's starting to turn into a deathmatch. Do you really not understand that this is a core part of the game? Did you really just start playing this game and decide you're all of a sudden some expert on how to make this game great? Nothing has changed, the reason the game "caters" to me IS BECAUSE I LIKE THE GAME. I'm not going to get on the left4dead forums and ask for them to change their game because I don't like it. If you don't realize the points I've made about kill counts and the vocal minority of players than I seriously may have to write you off as some whiny child who isn't old enough to understand that the world doesn't change for them.
