I just broke my dont be an asshole rule and killed a guy because i needed stuff. was actually pretty funny, 1am server time, he had a torch on and was going through a barn then proning along a field, 225m~away i killed him with my enfield for m1911 mags and his backpack. Anyway do you guys kill if you see they have stuff you want (gun/backpack), nice stuff (indicating they would have rare items) or just for fun? still a bandit (will be survivor soon) but would like to know lol..

ive never been able to distract a z with one before..

have a getaway car that u drive away after jumping the hanger

suprised you guys take it easy on other bandits, why is that the case? or do you just fear their ability to kill others?

Cool story hansel i would have used the satchels on a car to make it have a nitro boost power for sik jumps over hangers

works sometimes... but you need to be on level ground, if its done above steps you cant vault afaik.

and where is this forest? lol

Yeah the issue i have is players that hop on DayZ to grief or just kill as much as possible.

I am for the removal of the bandit skin but something needs to be implemented. while for realism and immersion its better to have it removed. certain players play Dayz like COD or some other game in teams, abusing mechanics (have teams, one guy with no shit loots, if he dies just wait till he gets back there again e.t.c.) just to go around killing people for fun. And then again while the goal is for immersion it is a game, so there should still be some game elements. Its a tough line to draw for rocket and the mod team... but i feel they are doing a good job atm. Just one thing i dont like is the lack of punishment. I think a Player kill near a city should be like voip in a city, zombies will spawn in the city and then aggro towards the players. And i am a bandit now btw. i killed a player because i was low on ammunition and food at night, i saw him with his flashklight on proned in the field 200m away, took pot shots with my enfield and killed him in 4 shots. I would consider that kind of gameplay still valid and shouldnt be punished. But the guys that go around looking for survivors or other bandits to kill to just make them mad, this should be stopped as it isnt realistic in anyway at all.

Text too is a bit excessive... But for the record I LOVE the release note format haha! Keep it up

easy way to do it is kill anyone you see if your humanity doesnt change they deserved it if yours goes down its just collateral damage for the greater good.

yeah. You can reverse it doing good deeds. but come 1.5.8 i will be doing killking without considering humanity as you wont be able to tell who is a killer.

Quite often the aus servers are full for the whole period of the day (people playing or people just afk in lobby). are there any mods for arma2 that auto join as soon as a slot comes up? i often see it go down to 39/40 but im not quick enough to join.. Thanks

yeah but pvp + lag = rage. one time i unloaded 3 slugs into a bandits head as he was hunting survivors in elektro (killed my mate so swore revenge), didnt rego at all, he looked at me then fired lol. thankyou all for your replies and thankyou SnR for hosting a server.

Hi, is this possible? also the motion blur.... i disabled postprocessing but the game looks like arse without HDR. (i realise this is more an arma2 question but im playing arma2 jsut for dayZ like all the other noobs). best stretch was 3 days alive (bought game about a week ago). Thanks guys

i dont think there is an option, someone wrote a mod to do it a while back i think. do you have HDR on?

I like the rifle myself. zeroing is easy pg up + pg down. would be nice if it had the scope in the previous post though.

i can choose normal then two levels extra, cant select off.

pretty cool roleplaying idea. i had 4 days on a suvivor and i was helping noobs get from the coast and get weaps e.t.c., got killed by a bunch of bandits killing people for fun in elektro, shouldnt have really helped there lol. anyway im pissed, if people are playing this like CS may aswell stop bitching and start treating it like CS.

im considering this too. I had fun surviving, but my friend wanted to play, we went along for a bit, one night he got into firefight and became a bandit accidentally (defending self) went to elektro to get bloodbags and he got killed by bandit team, then i was hiding and i got killed, the four guys were going around killing people and storing shit in tents. So thinking ill just start killing people treat it like another form of CS untill mechanics are improved.

the issues are that people treat it like real life whereas others do not and dont care about multiple deaths and that communication in game is pretty poor for avoiding conflict. But yes z's with better hearing would work a treat.

i agree there should be no skins, but a motivation to not be a bandit could be some sort of mental sanity system, where if you went from being a normal citizen to a mass murderer you would slowly start to lose your grip on reality, casuing headaches, lack of your abilities (due to lack of sleep) e.t.c. But a bandit skin isnt the way to go, just makes me feel ok about PVP'ing someone as i dont want to risk getting killed myself. at the moment i just like to try and sneak about, if i see another player i back off, if its a bandit i just kill them because they have the big shoot me target on their back.
