You've created a Bandit.

I think the spawning without a pistol is a nice touch, but I'm no longer giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Spawning with a makarov I could live with, but it's frustrating to go back to nothing because I hesitated killing someone.

Just chaulk up another bandit to watch out for I suppose.

"You've created a bandit,

cause nobody wants to see Daggo no more

they want DAGGO, I'm canned beans"

Off-topic I know, but I honestly couldn't think of anything else when I read the title of the thread. Sorry about that.

actually i've seen more working together because of people not having weapons. i have even run into people with weapons but the zombies are much harder now so the don't shoot. i haven't got shot once since 1.7.1 so stop complaining. the problem isn't with what you spawn it's people like you saying im shooting people because i'm scared really? its a video game the only point to this game is to survive as long as possible. its inevitable that you will die.

If you took the time to read my post, I said I approve of the change. If you weren't aware, this is the section of the forum for the players to post their opinions of the game, changes, and suggestions.

But I guess you had your head too far up your arse to see that.

I teamed up with some guy just east of elecktro. We accidentally aggro'd a zombie and with no weapons, we had to run, attracting other zombies. We ran up a steep hill and down it, still the zombies followed. We ran into elecktro, flashlights on, yelling "friendly" on direct com. We were both sniped, running from zombies. This has done nothing about banditry, only making those few bandits who kill on sight even more powerful. They kill so they can brag about it on "bandit campfire", spruce up their stories and say we had NVGs and M4s. All this has done is silenced the big-mouthed care bears who get shot repeating the same thing over and over again. Give back the Makarov, but with 2 or 3 clips, give back the, meager supplies of beans and water, this new update has helped nothing except forcing peace into people's faces by giving them no weapon.

Actually you create alot of players with nothing to lose. So once they get the ability to take what they want they will because they have to.

If you play smart you could round up a bunch of zombies and run through a building / area occupied by other players dragging the horde with you while those players are overwhelmed with zombies and possibly killed you go back and pick up what you need after the aggro drops off. You can use that in a few evil way im sure of it.

And to respond before-hand to the people saying "hur, crawl around, it's super stealthy", no actually, it's not. Zombies seem to have resumed spawning in buildings and one was even guarding a door to a house, just sitting there not moving. I agree with everyone saying that since you know you will respawn with no weapon or supplies, you will be more inclined to shoot on sight.

okay I've played the game for over a month now. I have been a survivor then a bandit then a medic then a survivor once again. you will always have bandits there's nothing that you could do to change that other then to turn ff off. however doing so would make the game a lot less fun. to me i find that seeing people and seeing if they are friendly or not is all part of the game. if you want to die less head inland. I've gone like 17 days up there. the starting kit now is much better than it was before. and i hear that they may be add melee soon. so hold out and try and adapt to the changes.

The way it is now starting with nothing is the best way, I met up with a fellow survivor and I needed his help, so we teamed up and now we play together. This is a great way of meeting new friends I might add.

Meeting a one armed bandit can always be a gamble...
