Huge FPS drop.

Same here, also 4 other people I play with confirmed it.

Great patch, love the temperature thing. Adds much more depth.

It's the zombie apocalypse, there are no cameras and no functioning towns. It'd be pretty much impossible for anyone to have much of a reputation because dead people don't talk.

Yeah, how would you spread information about a bandit by "word of mouth" if you get ambushed and no one sees it happen?

What's a "good" temperature? What should it be ideally?

I doubt that. This would be a world with very limited supplies and full of people with guns who are starving.

Everyone didn't kill on sight before bandit skin existed. They won't do it afterwards either. Many people have said that even though they now kill on sight (forced to because of having a KOS bandit skin themselves) they wouldn't do it nearly as much without the bandit skin.

"there needs to be SOME KIND of punishment for people going the easy way of banditry." Er.. why? Why should there be an artificial penalty on bandits? It's not the wrong way to play, broski.

I'd shoot him in the legs, then fire some rounds in the air to attract zombies and run back to watch the show.

Being someone with a bandit skin, this change would make it a lot more likely that I don't shoot a survivor on sight. Right now, I have no other chance: I'll be fired upon by survivors if they see me, so I'll kill them before they can kill me. If I won't have a "KoS sign" on me then I'm more likely to be lenient as well.

What's wrong with it? It seems perfectly legit. I treat the side channel as something like a radio all the survivors have. Just because someone says they're friendly and in Elektro doesn't mean they really are.

Many people are implying a "massive deathmatch" would be a bad thing. That's what a zombie apocalypse like this should be. You can't trust anyone. It's often beneficial to kill people so you can get their stuff and survive longer. Pretty much every zombie apocalypse movie/book out there has "bandits" as a major element. And they rarely choose to wear uniform clothes that say "shoot me".... But. Even in this "nightmare scenario" where it turns into a massive deathmatch, teaming up would still have its (huge) benefits, so people would still take the risk quite often even if they don't know who to trust. Not to mention that shooting at someone who is not definitely hostile could lead to you dying if you miss, even if you otherwise wouldn't have. You could also argue that the bandit skin makes the game more of a deathmatch, since if you kill in self-defense a couple times, you'll be "KOS" for other players and thus you'll be forced to "deathmatch" to survive.
