What is a bandit, anyway? I'm not a bandit. I'm all good! Except that... Well, sometimes, you know, when you see something that you, like, really want, then... So I'm basically good, you know. But it's just that... Well, better him than me, and... And that Coyote Backpack is sure pretty nifty! I don't neeeeed to kill him, you know. It's far more rewarding to get validated bossing him around. Except some people just don't know their own good, and, well... Then they force me to kill them. You see, I'm not a bandit - they forced me! I'm the good guy over here! It's true!

Summary of the vid: Shit, fuck, fuck, shit, run, fuck, shit shit, fuck fuck, run run.

Funny... The other day, my friend saw fire, but I didn't. What's up with that? He sent me screenshots. Clearly there was a fire that I couldn't see on my PC. Is the bug dependent on graphical settings?

Who is no one? I am some one, and I care.

DayZ: Jogging simulator. ;) Three cans of food will get you far. Far enough to find more food, or a knife, mathces and hatchet in a general store somewhere. Good luck on your journey, and beans to you, Sir! :beans:

Requested many times before, and I think it's an awesome idea. Really hoping Rocket will use this one in the standalone. :D

My beans are thine!

Stylistically, stealth kills should fit snugly into this genre. Like a glove! How else are you supposed to kill your stupid mate when there are hundres of zeds rought outside the porch? Blunt weapon, suffocation, piano wire, knife - doesn't matter. It gets the job done when you need to stay quiet and discreet.

I like the camo. It's a great go-between when it comes to regular survival clothes vs. the ghillie, as most wookies get KOSed. I do like the Hero outfit, though, however it makes you stand out like a red light. Whenever I get it, I tend to disfavour both camo and ghillie.

I regularly find M203 HE rounds for the noob tube. It's not that uncommon. It might also be a satchel charge, or even a car exploding. However, if the explosion is conspicuously large, and cover a big area with consecutive shots, then it is an artillery hack.

Tier 1: Houses and barns. In civilian spawns you will also find food and drinks, and maybe maps and such. You can then go on to tier 2. Tier 2: Deer stands, fire stations and army tents. Clearly, the safest of these are the deer stands. Tier 3: Army barracks (NWAF), helicopter crashes, griefers at Sniper Hill. None of these are safe, but you might get lucky and find a downed chopper around Stary or further north. However, having a good gun is not enough in this game. You can have the best Tier 3 weapon, and still be pawned by a better player with a Tier 1 weapon. To really do well, you need to move tactically and be aware of your surroundings. You can actually pick a lot up from army handbooks, and the rest you'll find out by watching a few vids on YouTube. Good luck!

Well, if nothing else, just imagine the earnings from the DayZ balloon franchise!

Knifing someone in DayZ... Now that's pawnage! What I want is simply more melee weapons, and also that you can switch to it as a tertiary. The hassle you have to go trough to get out that hatchet is... unbelievable. IRL i would just holster my side arm or sling my main weapon over my shoulder, and then just merrily chop away.

Classes: No thank you! I make my own class in the game. In fact, I may even be against the bandit and hero skin also, however I understand how it is a necessary evil. Story: Please, no! There's already more than enough story in this game, i.e. the background story. Other than that, I want to make my own story. Actually, it's one of the things that make this game truly unique, as this game creates its own lore. However, as for end game material, sure, players should be able to build stuff (board up buildings, for instance), clear towns and defend them - and maybe even find a way to bring back electricity. I dream of a game like that, and I hope we'll see it.

I don't think it's a terrible idea. There's a reason people got birds. However, yeah, how many people do you see strutting around with a bird as compared to a dog? Hey, you know what? I want a parrot and an eye patch! Yarrr!

So you're saying that you're unskilled? What are you going to do about that, then? The Enfield is actually a pretty good weapon, and it's accurate for quite a distance. Also, it packs a mean punch, so long as you have the wits to stay in cover.

It's great, because that way the server forces you to work for your bus, possibly exposing you to other players, so that more people can enjoy the vehicle. ;)

I'd like perma-identity with changeable nicks. If they were to do anything, then let people choose one face, and stick with that, for instance. But I think part of this internet thing is getting to choose who you can be at any given moment.

C'mon, it doesn't take that much time! The worst part is actually waiting for Steam to dl it. The rest is a breeze.

Camping under that tree on Sniper Hill. Wait, that's griefing.

I'll sure as hell be less forgiving against a bandit. However, there are different reasons as to how someone got a bandit skin. The Bandit Hero The bandit hero got his skin because he either had to avenge a friend, or because he won a firefight he didn't start fair and square, or because someone chose to not listen to him even though he had them in his sights. The Hero Bandit The hero bandit got his skin because he's in a team of other bandits, and because he constantly helps them out, giving blood an patching them up, but he is still a dick to all others. He's still a bandit, but he just happens to wear the hero skin.

Scripters can still hack in vehicles and all kinds of weapons. Also, they usually tend to favour servers with lots of other players on them. For some reason they feel better about themselves when they get more people to grief. The other day, someone tried to kill me and a friend with an artillery barrage. When all hell broke loose behind us we got the hell out of that server. I'm pretty sure it missed us only because of crazy lag. Another time, I was "insta-killed" while I was hidden behind cover. If somebody managed to shoot me, he would have to be close and there should have been a sound, but I just died for no obvious reason. Other odd stuff happened nearby before this, like weird car sounds and explosions, so it's no wonder, really. On yet another server, my friend spotted ten or so empty tents at the West end of Kamenka. When he came up to Zeleno he saw fire in the horizon, while I didn't see anything. We got the hell out of that server too. I know I should've reported these incidents, but I was too busy playing and having fun. However, now that I've noticed my own personal lazyness, I will make it my mission to dutifully report incidents like those.

Reaction to first post: Aw, man, that is awesome! Reminds me of when I started. Got to play on the character of a friend. He was all geared up with Coyote backpack and M14, and everything. I was scared of anything that moved, so I ran into the woods. Then, out of nowhere, a sniper bullet passed trough my head and I lost it all. Nowadays the game goes a little like this for me: Friend does not know how to stay hidden from other players, and I end up having to avenge them. Otherwise I don't really like killing other players - at least not without making some kind of contact first. Edit: Scroll your mouse wheel to open the backpack. Put your stuff into it first, then put it on. If it's night, you will see much better if you throw a flare. However, everybody else will see you too, so it's not really recommended. Also, flares are mostly useless during daytime, however, it's a way of marking your position which is a little more discrete than throwing a smoke grenade.

Great story! :beans: :beans: :beans: You, Sir, know how to write great fiction! Bonus vid:
