Bandit skin removal is the best decision made thus far IMO. I was so tried of being tagged as a bandit after trying to defend myself. It was also far too gamey, this is supposed to be semi-realistic.

Rocket posted in the announcements that this exploit is cheating and warrants a minimum of a week ban.

I am disgusted, but also erect. It appears my body is ready, but my mind is not...

This has probably been stated before, but a 5 second countdown when you attempt to disconnect could fix this issue. There are some issues with this fix, but the pros outweigh the cons.

I agree that DayZ is very much a TDMfest anymore. When the mod was first released, people used to use caution but still allow for player contact. I have yet to see a player who has not shot at me on sight in at least a week. It's that bad. I understand how rocket wants this game to play, but the community just isn't allowing it. This games popularity is already starting to peter out (little by little, mind you) and i can't help but feel that the TDM kiddies will ruin this mod. All that said, i still do enjoy the game on the loot-collecting level. I still get excited when i find an AK or M16. Zombies are kind of inconsequential as they don't really do any harm to players who use any amount of caution and run inside when they're spotted. I hope something is done to balance all of this out, but i don't see a possible solution.

i am currently on this mumble, and it's empty. nobody wants to play dayz with me? :(

Saying that people who use exploits deserve praise since they progress bug fixes is an ignorant way to justify cheating. And yes, it does deserve a ban. Had the people using this exploit simply done it one time and reported it, that would have been incredible. Instead they murdered everybody in attempt to grief players and take their beans. It's unjustifiable regardless of the games state.

The first page of this thread is full of morons. Alpha or not, this issue is game breaking. The players should be banned and the issue needs resolved. /thread

If it was possible I would shoot a clip down to 1 bullet and drop the clip for him. He would pick it up probably not noticing it was mostly empty. If he shoots you anywhere but the head you will probably survive and he won't be able to finish you off. Your turn to do the shooting.

People need to stop posting about bandits. It's the smallest issue with this mod and somehow it's the thing everybody wants to bitch about.

I too work night shift but sadly I work Friday night. Regardless, add me on steam(pyjamasbox) and we can play together some time.

I too was shocked that Dayz was outselling Max Payne 3, Torchlight 2, and Ghost Recon. A good kind of shocked, though. I think Dayz deserves the attention it's getting. Gaming needs a refresher, and this is it. It speaks volumes that this mod is so good that it's bringing a fairly old game back from the grave.

I hope you're trolling and not just an idiot. There's nothing wrong with being a bandit, i just want to be a human from time to time. I am not ALWAYS in the mood to go on a killing spree and murder every player i see. That said, as a bandit i am constantly a "kill-on-sight", so nobody ever lets me get close enough to prove i am friendly. Can't wait for the skin to be removed. :)

Pretty decent update. Still a bit upset that you didn't remove the bandit skins just yet, as i am still stuck with something like -20k humanity. I'll just have to wait :) good work

perhaps if you spend too much time in the sun, you could get extremely hot? this way you could be forced to consume water to lower your temp? people pass out from heat all of the time.
