Fellow Highwaymen look here

[Jacquel 16]

Let me start this off by saying, if you are just looking to KoS this is not for you.

I am thinking about starting a clan, a clan for mature, fun loving people who want to dabble a bit in the roleplay end of things. If you want to partake in road blocks that don't involve killing, or maybe take part of a raid into a campsite simply to steal from the tents and damage vehicles. Then this might be a clan for you. Having a mic is prefer obviously but not required. The only thing required would be maturity regardless of age, and the ability to keep your finger off the trigger unless needed.

So, if you're looking for

- Organized roadblocks

- Campsite raids

- Avoiding Cherno and Elektro unless needed

- Vehicle "acquisition"

- RP elements in your game play

Then reply here and assist me in trying to change the way banditry is currently.

This sounds fun :3

When I get home today, I'd love to join your clan :) This is how I like to play the game.

[Jacquel 16]

Well it isn't a clan yet as I am testing the waters to see if people would be interested and if they are I will work on getting things moving.

[Oath3 38]

I'm more then willing to work on getting it going :)

This is how I play the game so it'd be cool to play with other people who do the same thing.

[Jacquel 16]

Ok sounds good, if you know anyone who fits the bill, send em here and have them make a post in this thread.

I would be interested in joining a group like this, only problem is, I haven't been playing dayz for that long... Does this matter?

[Jacquel 16]

I've been playing for 2 days. Though I know how to play a game the way it was intended, and I have a feeling that the guy who developed this game didn't intend for bandits to KoS.

I don't see why it would, I think you'd be great if you're willing to learn and learn relativity fast then you'd be good at the game in no time :P

I also suggest watching people play DayZ on youtube. That's how I learned a lot of the stuff I know about DayZ

[Jacquel 16]

What I might do is rent a server. Assign all the proven clan members as admins and have them remove anyone KoSing

I know what you mean... To me, a bandit isn't someone who hides in the hills and snipes new spawns... It's what you described in the OP.

At times, sniping is required. In fact all the things we do, there should be a sniper on overwatch. Overwatch means your crosshair is on a survivor and he doesn't even know it so that if things go South he gets dropped. There is a difference between a skilled and talented sniper and a camper.

Those interested, add me to steam. "otkenney" is my name minus the quotes. I am looking to keep this a small close knit group. No more than ten people. So please add me and shoot me a message on steam. We will most likely have a private server that we will only let a select group of players in so we can avoid KoS kiddies.

[Craux 81]

I'am more than interested in this, you have my beans.

[Sourcarrot 27]

This sounds fun but whenever I set up a roadblock or something it always seems to fail and I end up waiting hours for nothing

[Horny goldfish (DayZ) 10]

sounds interesting

[MoistNinja999 44]

Sounds interesting, when I don't feel like being a Hero I do hold ups like this, but it's a bit hard when your on your own. I'll be interested in joining you, but where are you from I'm from the UK and the time difference may be a bit of a problem

[Jacquel 16]

Anyone interested is asked to add me to steam at otkenney so I can discuss the plans further.

[Charb 298]

I think the best type of server is a place where you can have different mindsets working together. if i stumble across 3 people and they have a heli. your crazy if you think i'm going to sneak all the way over and become a talking bush shouting "REACH FOR THE SKY". If I have the opportunity I'd try to kill all 3 of them.

This isn't to say I'm against more RP. I just don't think you can force people to play one way or else you ban them from the server. You risk ending up with 1 mega clan and no one to mug, or a bunch of people sitting by the road waiting for cars to come by.

[Jacquel 16]

No the real problem lies in that 90% of players want to shoot everything that is shiny or moves in the wind. I want the other ten percent.

[Expertbombtech 0]

yeah i would enjoy being apart of this very much

[SuperbMudFish 3]

You have my beans :D This seems fun :3

[Jacquel 16]

Well you guys need to add me to steam so we can get this rolling.

>Sidechat Conversation:

Noooo123 was killed

Noooo123: "Omg fgt camprs with bus roadblock @ X,Y by town Z"

[1337bandits] Sgt. Owner: "Don't worry we have AS50 TWSs and a chopper and will blow them to shit they won't even know what hit them"

Yep. Since you played 2 days you need to realize what's realistic about dayz... most people bitch when they get killed, most people KOS no matter what, Clans always have tents/lootfarm/hack in a shitton of gear so if you kill them it won't make a lick of difference, and everybody loves to fight others. DayZ = hackers galore and I bet that they will either kill you, find out where you are exactly, etc. since it's so easy to hack it's ridiculous.

My only advice would be that this does sound a great idea FOR STANDALONE. In its current state, the above is guaranteed to happen and your idea would be a failure.

[goldenrebel 2]

Guy above me is right, your only chance I would believe of being real highwaymen or close to it would be to play on a populated 2017 server. Cars are rare and the best weapons are the Lee Enfield, Remington, and Revolver. Survival is way harder but I like it a lot more. Since survival is harder and only low powered guns are available it's a lot easier to do this stuff.

I recommend Taviana bridge on a full server, great if you have an armed heli hovering beneath the bridge ready to pop up on unsuspecting travellers =)
