We all know them, we all read about them and we all see them on many servers: Bandit-Clans, known for killing the innocent and looting for fun but high geared. We Survivors hate them and we all want to do something against em. It's now time to act and it's time to act hard, hear my proposal: Whoever want's to enlist in the CDF (Chernarus Defense Force) - Group now replies to this thread and we will build up a network for a specialized group of Bandit-Clan Headhunters! Rise and Shine my brothers and sisters, for we will clense the lands from that evil! But not only Personell is sought here, also, if you think you know a Bandit clan: Inquire and the CDF will take action once it's build up! Whover want's to report a Bandit-Clan or supposes one Clan to be a bunch of Bandits, reply to this thread and we will take care of that problem. Bandits, beware. We don't know who you are or what you want, but our live long gaming expierience has taught us skills over the years. We will search for you, we will find you, and then we will kill you! who's with me?

That was hilarious! :D Keep up the work buddy!

New guide is up (at least part 1, youtube is a bitch right now) Raiding Chernogorsk Bare Handed

Thank you :) Plan is: Find their Camp, loot it out, destroy it, makes them rebuild their stuff, after some time, same procedure, constantly searching, destroying the camp and make them bleed a bit

sure do!

You should, the days of looting choppers in Bandit-Peace are over once we aquire a target ;) ever camped a few days, lying in the same spot? I've done that in my time in the army, and I am willing to wait for you in DayZ as well ;)

I just have to facepalm myself even more by reading most of the answers, really now! Listen up: Shooting unarmed people, in Real Life I mean, is either murder and also not even covered under military protection. So much for the "IRL" people! Listen up: Killing an unarmed player in DayZ might make you lol but think: You have shiny gear, somebody kills you, you rage. You spawn new, think of the possibilities and build up fun again, bam, shot with nothing, time to respawn! It's not like I despise the fact that it is part of DayZ, I even like firefights, but what the hell is the POINT in shooting new spawned guys? You start to make me sick, really sick.

allocating the texture memory to "default" does not work for me on the graphics bug, BUT, i dont have the problem on all servers, just some are kind of... effed up i think, so maybe it has something to do with the server integrity? Checked it now, crawled around a bit. Pretty stable, no problems while joining but some graphics glitches. Somehow, if I look along the airfield, i have glitches, if i look across the airfield to the other forest, there are none... strange. All in all, great work Rocket, and not to forget everyone of team DayZ, you guys (and girls? ^^) are just amazing and most of the players don't know what effort and Work you put into it. You are bleeding for us, you have sleepless hours just because of us, your pain for our little part of heaven. Thank you and keep up the good work... If I was any good in coding I would help, but I never even passed HTML, so I just sit quiet here and do not complain :)

Hey guys, so, I found a dead player (appereantly) and looted a sweet L85A2 AWS from his body, alongside some STANAG SD rounds. I am a bit afraid, because since 1.7.2 (i guess) rumor had it it was removed, is it still in the game and safe to use?

Bingo! Thanks to both of you! I love that gun and I will look after it like it was my eyeball :)

People keep complaining about the alt-f4 problem. How would you or the dev's ever be able to really measure it out completely? Do you want to ban everyone who disconnects from the game, combat situation or not? no! Do you want to ban everybody who looses connection on servers? no! There is no real way of dealing with it i guess, only if there is a way to put a spawn and disconnect timer, e-basta!

I've read much about database bans for d/c'ing players...I had a issue last week where my Internet timed out mostly every 5 minutes and after three times I just left my PC... What if I run into provider issues again, is that "player XYZ is loosing connection" also considered d/c'ing? If so, I will have to stop playing and find myself a better provider and that before my contract runs out in three months... I had these problems often and it's annoying, but that does not mean I enjoy a ban for that crap. Rocket to the rescue, tell me if it's dangerous in the future

Well, here i am, after nearly two Month of playing and I still don't know if I am a Good-Survivor or a Scumbag-Bandit, since I like both attitudes somehow... Maybe you guys can help me figure it out, here's my playstyle and my oppinion on shooting players.... My typical life goes like this: I spawn and make my way to either cherno or elektro on low population servers. When I got my stuff (Alice pack, an AR and a Pistol, some Morphine and food/drinks, a compass, map and hunting knife) I usually switch to higher populated servers because more players increase the spawnrate in military grade buildings such as Stary Military-Camp when they go there. That is the time I go hunt for good gear (I do not do it on low pop servers because it seems, that choppers spawn more likely on high population servers). And that is also the time I begin to meet other players. Since I got spawn-sniped, backstabbed and betrayed allready I now know whom to trust and whom not to. Now, since I go on the hunt for my favourite weapons (such as the M24 Sniper, the AK-Cobra and the M9SD) I HAVE to got into places where others are. Here's my way of choosing who to shoot and who not to: When I encounter somebody who is allready surrounded by corpses or is looting a deadbody I shoot on sight because I allways assume that he wont be friendly after all. Boom Dead. When I encounter somebody looting simple places like Cherno I sneak past them as good as I can and keep in mind that they are there. If I encounter them I openly announce I am friendly over direct chat. Now there are three options: 1: No answer and wandering around, looking at me. I shoot because I cant estimate theit intentions by no answers. 2: Answer is "I am not friendly", off course I shoot. 3: Anser is "I am friendly" I keep supsicious but I now know there is somebody behind that ingame character. If the begin to talk to me more than just "I am friendly" i loosen up a bit more and maybe travel with them for a short period of time. The live. When I encounter somebdoy in high value spaces (Stary or the Airfields) I get to a vantage point, fire a single time and announce I am armed but friendly. Same play as before, three options, no answer, shoot, bad answer, shoot, talking, living. In these places I keep my distance to them and a cover between me and them, backstabbing is most likely if you got some good gear (an m24 and an alice pack may be a good point to shoot someone in the back) Newly spawned players: I walk up to them and talk to em, friendly, they can't harm me. If the respond simply and walk past, I let em walk, if the keep mute, I let them walk but what I built up in the past few weeks: If they seem like nice guys and girls, talk to me, ask me questions if they are new, I hook them up with food and medicals if I got spare items (no gun, never give away a gun to a stranger, believe me, the thankful guy will always pay you in lead to the head -.-). I like to help new spawned because sometimes looting an be a pain in the ass. Unfortunately mostly people "want" to die by either not responding at all or giving me the "bit** suck my **** I am the boss here blabla", so my kill count raises 2 or 3 in every single gameplay I have and only a few are really friendly and receive my mercy and help... I don't know, maybe I do the right thing but for me DayZ is not about killing each other on every occasion, it's survival and how do you survive longer? By Teamwork... Please guys, tell me, am I a bandit or a friendly-wanderer of the wilds? I am confused since I kill so many but help everyone who truly deserves it :)

^_^ Thank you! And yes, I won't listen to him :)

Haha, yeah, but Bavarians can't even speak proper german sometimes xD Thank you man, glad to hear you liked it :) Done :) Should have thought about that myself *facepalm* sorry for the inconvenience :)

Quick update: DayZ [Tutorial] Install DayZ manually and properly is now online, link or look in the first post! :)

I never said I am speaking english perfectly ;) What do you expect me to do? Enable english mode while rebooting my brain? ^^ Oh, and in austria, people speak german btw, you knew that? Mindblowing! I would bet on that too :D thanks :)

I will add that to my "working on" section as we speak! :) I'll record installation and inventory today, you'll get it soon. The inventory system is the most difficult part of the game ^^ and it's buggy as hell, lost two M4A3's on the way because my backpack said "nah, eff that, i will destroy it, you don't need it" ~.~ Thank you very much :) yep, thats german ^^ but I am proud of my english, at least i do not sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger :D "Noh! It's not ah Toomah!" :D

That depends, I change servers every day, got no home server. If I happen to find one, I'll let you know :)

!!!! You subbed to me, I remember you! ^^ thanks for that btw :3 and thanks for the support :)

I am not that interested in views, I just want to share my experience with others :) As long as I know I helped someone everythings fine! I want to share my beans, thats all ;)
