What about some kind of endgame mechanics like this: You pile up some corpses from zombies and burn them the smokes calles in hords of new zombies, which are coming in waves. If you survive you gain some extra stuff.

My humanity is exactly at Zero, which is really funny since I patched up a lot of guys and also shoot some survivors, my stats now get reset every time I start to play but Im always stuck to the bandit skill at the first 10 minutes.

Since the last update its 10 times harder to lose zombies by turning around corners or trees/bushes. Also sometime when crouched zombies aggro from anywhere even if there was NO line of sight! Needs to get fixed!!

You mean you stumbled over a full camp?

Does anyone know if you still go uncon with a single shotgun shot? Whats the dmg required for "A very large amount of lethal damage. (most rifles, sniper rifles, and high military-graded weapons)" Yeah my m4 COO just got upgraded :D I think this patch actually is made for dayz since the chances of finding aks is so high. AK's are normally the stronger with less acc, like in RL.

I like your idea but I think Dr. Wasteland's approach is more practical. Since its forbidden to pw servers, I dont get why ppl suggest you use a pwed server. I like your attitude towards pwing. I actually think your idea of forting and anoncing that in an official forum will attract more bandits then you can deal with since it actually sounds like a challenge to bust your camp. My advide keep it secret and only let trusted medics inside to resupply for rescue missions. You could take the Reddit Rescue Force Karma as a starting point. Someone with over 100 karma will probably not be a bandit. Maybe even you can use the server you play on to provide lifts to patients for medics.

You got awefull aim and its stupid to waste your ammo like that to take revenge for a newly spawned player that didnt lose anything. Ofc it sucks if you get killed the 3rd time 5 minutes after spawn, but I sucks a lot more to get killed after 3 days of gathering stuff. Btw, maybe you thought your actions where righteous, but they did definitely not learn to not kos. They just learned to be more carefull and hide better.

There will always be some loot you want. If you dont want any loot you start shooting because you dont know what to do with your stuff.

I just went to the bandit forum and I think what really is out of beeing just bad is to shoot players that came to give you blood or other stuff. Beeing evil is one thing but killing players after luring them to a position where they are easy to kill by pretending to be wounded is more than just evil.

Some ppl dont admit it but without Bandits the game would be boring. 3 dayz ago I killed a 5 Survivors with my teammate he died and I dropped to 4000k Blood, ofc they are unhappie now but it was intense as a thriller. 2 dayz ago I killed only one out of 5 and now the got a story of thrill and terror to tell. Right after that I got killed from a survivor that shouted dont shoot me like 5 times in panic and I actually didnt shoot him just to get backstabbed by him the moment I lowered my gun. Ofc I was pissed but today I got 25 rounds of stanag ammo if there was only Zombies to kill I would stop playing today. Get your friends to play with you and shoot everybody else. Since there spawns so much stuff if your not dumb you dont NEED to shoot any players EVER! Maybe if the zombies get stronger and there will be some kind of waves that are impossible to survive alone we dont need bandits anymore to keep the game alive.

Just someone delete the post

I know you all hate other players that shoot you in the back because you lost your valuable equipment. But actually what would the game be without bandits? Its pretty easy to get more food and water than you ever need. After aquering a strong weapon like the ak zombies are no real thread anymore. So why was I shivering after getting close to Devils Castle last time I played? I feared the players possible aiming for my head. Last time I went to NW Air I found two ppl killing all zeds with an AKM I killed one with my Bizon SD and the other got away with a couple of hits and I found my first compass ever. Now they got a story to tell and learned that loud weapons attract worst than just zombies. On the other hand I already helped to save 3 ppl I meet over the Reddit Rescue Force because I'm not mean per definition. But if we dont fear other players the game will get boring pretty fast. Last time I respawned I killed a bandit with my revolver and got more supplies than ever for my start. Ofc I hated it when I got sniperd in the back at the north barrack, but where you think would the thrill of this game go if everyone gatherd together and just shared their supplies??? Dont reply if you got killed by someone else in the last 48 hours. P.S.: Sidenote to the WarZ discussion maybe they took the name from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z

My problem is that I play sometimes with my gf when she visites me and since I bought Arma 2+OA twice its really anoying that half the server denie us access since we play over the same IP. TS and Skype give like the same advanteage of a LAN I dont see why there should be any difference between ppl with the same IP and other groups that chat over TS!

Just do it http://dayzmod.com/f...-for-the-flair/ and if you need to team up always go for ts or skype first after someone talked to you they probably wont shoot you. at least I dont shoot ppl I talk to in TS

For survival really? There is absolutly no reason to kill anyone other than zombies to survive. If there was no Banditry for "teh lulz" the game would be dropped dead long ago, because its to easy if survivors dont shoot each other.
