com1 10 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) hi thereHow about making a default bind for "hands up" instead of binding it yourself so I can go bandit and order my victim to put his hands up and search for his loot instead of...."which key should i press?"it works in takistan life so why not in dayz? we can have an improved experience when we are not forced to kill other survivors to get theit loot Edited February 12, 2013 by com1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted February 12, 2013 It'd be preferable for sure, but in practice; most "bandits" aren't out to gain more gear, they're shooting people for lulz.There doesn't seem to be anything to encourage "bandit" players to keep other survivors alive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
landfish 62 Posted February 12, 2013 True that there isn't really anything that prevents bandits from killing on sight but this gesture would really benefit a lot of people out there, be you a bandit desperate for gear or just a survivor who values his life. I heard that if you shoot a player in the SA, you'll have a chance of damaging their gear also this would come in handy if you want another players gear but he is in the middle of the city and shooting a gun in a city is not a wise choice.

mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted February 12, 2013 It's a good point, butit's the risk of damaging gear or getting swarmed that's going to deter shooting, not the "hands up" animation.To expand a little though. If, while in that position, your gear is all lootable/accessable and you can't enter your gear menu (to steal your attacker's things) it would be extremely useful I'm sure.I'm a friendly player, so I don't hold folks up to rob them, but occasionally I do find that the unarmed fellas on the coast will try and steal from your pack.It'd be nice to shout "Stop right there, criminal scum." with real purpose, instead of just taking the piss.

I've met a lot of players who are willing to be friendly if you approach them right.. Prob the majority of players, even on 'pvp' or 'bandit' servers. It's one of those things where the minority speaks louder than the majority or negative actions catch the eye faster than positive ones.the "bandit" label, honestly... holds as much weight as the Babbie label... Truth is the only 'label' that does hold weight is the Hero one cause you have to earn it.Anyway... I'd like to see animation hot keys be the 1 threw 0 keys or the F1 threw F12keys... The keys will be useless since they are used for AI commands and that wont be in DayZ. Edited February 12, 2013 by Bullfrog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I'm not talking about players with the bandit skin.We all understand that self-defence can net you that one easily. (I don't remember ever having a bandit skin, so it's obviously avoidable)Go take a look over at the Bandit Campfire section of the forums. It's just killcounts and butthurts arguing about who's the bigger idiot.Generally, players who consider themselves "bandits" aren't bandits in-game, they're murderers.SA won't be able to have humanity skins, since we're getting customisation. So that distinction will be a thing of the past. Edited February 12, 2013 by Chabowski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of my group, I'm the best player since I'm an Arma vet and a DayZ 'hipster' ;) But because of that, I ended up killing every threat and it caused me to have -22,000 humanity when I'm really a pretty nice guy =( like being punished for having experience...I'm just saying the average players, are miss labeled bandits. Though the guys in the bandit campfire section are idiots too lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
