If you kill another player you should automaticly become morbidly obsese.... wait it's a thread that isn't about banditry! Have some beans.

Age; 18 IGN; Bad_haggis Experience; Played DayZ for about a week, player Arma 2 for about 2 years Reasons for Joining; Crawling around the map solo, hoping i'm not shot isn't the most intresting experiance i've ever had, Don't see many GMT based clans around either.

It would kind of be a mixture of STALKER and Metro 2033, although thats not neccisarily a bad thing.

"What about if they're able to shoot you through a wall? Then would you get annoyed? " Yeah lets make it more like a zombies Halo <_<

Any semi-serious clans that are english speaking and in the GMT time zone? I have a lot of experiance at err... running away from things.

Aye

I though it was the coolest skin in the game TBH, and i imagine some people activly went after the outfit.

Das Reichsmarshel does not tolerate dissent, for the Kaiser! Thats a WW1 joke so it's fine because it's doesn't have anything to do with WW2 or the Nazis.

Awesome :D. BTW ^ Why the small print?

Are you agreeing that side chat is a good thing? because then i agree with you, but it's quite hard to make out from your gibberish.

I cannot argue with you because you were inb4 me apparantly.

Except that auto aim was never implamented in the first place then yanked out.

Evil_id, it's not your job to be the internet policeman, admins don't have the power to banhammer people because they are "guilty by accosiation" you don't own the rights to the DayZ mod, so you have to abide by DayZ rules.

TBH what tends to happen ( in my experiance is ) Bandits kill people in the north for a while, getting military equimpment, cars and weapons. Game becomes dull due to lack of things to do as zombies can be ignored or blown to bits, Bandits go south again and kill everyone for shits and giggles, repeat. And BTW i think this needs repeating, there is no longer any reason to not have side chat as people are just using outside teamspeak and the like.

The problem is that most bandit kills will end up being newbies because A) no weapons to fight back with B ) Bandages and whatever they have picked up C)unlikley to know what to do when confronted by a bandit or indeed another survivor. which leads to newbies assuming that to survive you simply KoS, which makes the game significantly less intresting. BTW the "it's a zombie appolypse" excuse is nonsense does anyone seriously believe that when the entire world has been overun with the undead, people will be wandering about looking for other live humans to kill.

There are problems with every approach, personally i would say the blood idea is quite cool, and IMHO side chat, although unrealistic, still helps foster a fealing of community because without it people will simply use outside programs which leads to a feeling of being insular and isolated.

Again I don't actually mind proper banditry, where someone is activly trying to use an intresting play style, it's the people who think KoS is all the game is about which gets on my nerves.

What i love about these threads is that suddenly bandits turn up and start complaining about being the persecuted minority, we are only 14.8% of the population, we are using our freedom, it's my right to shoot new players in the head repeatedly...

Yeah don't neft bandits and KoS but intoduce reasons not to that arn't just automatic boosts to survivors, ie higher chance of finding stuff.

Yeah, but it turned the game into a free for all which is a KoS.

I like the idea of semi - safe zones, where zombies cant get in but bandit clans could raid.

How about they only kill zombies and bandits?

For a survival game about zombies, they no longer really have a large part to play, so prehaps make them move around the map rather than just guard loot like bouncers, it would encourage teamwork if zombies were more intresting to fight.

Also perhaps make a few objectives in the game, that would encourage teamwork, such as taking and holding a possition for 10 minutes while zeds attack it that causes rare weapons or something to spawn, and clears the area from zeds for around 4 hours.

Yeah people just use other programs like skype to chat so bring back side chat.
