If hero's run faster than bandits than what do bandits do better than a hero?

[Dai Tou Zai 1]

Do they get more weapon power or what?

[Mos1ey 6301]

They kill people and take their stuff...

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

And a free tea-towel.

[smore98 225]

Bandits get to not have their faces seen.

I think that would be for the best...

[Pandema 352]

Attract more bullets? Kill people better?

I suppose the tea towel is a plus.

[THE_BURNDOWN 27]

They kill people and take their stuff...

And a free tea-towel.

Why can't I use the towel to get my infection better?

[BSB Jimmy 360]

they look sexy in their fancy tea towel.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

What would you do with it? I've got loads of tea-towels at home but I still have to get antibiotics if I've got an infection. It should give you +30 washing-up XP bonus.

[veristaya 71]

They have a way easier life? KoS, get stuff, done. A Hero meanwhile has to be way more careful, trustful, helpful.

No washing up is the main advantage of Heinz baked beans, eaten from the can. Did you never go to uni?

I think it might be a plausible idea to have Bandits have some kind of advantage over a Survivor and Hero. The tea towel is cool-- and sexy as fuck --but there should be some kind of benefit. Yet again, it is much more easier to be a bandit, so I can see where you are coming from.

the tea towel is enough, why should you be rewarded for killing players?

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Playing as a hero is far harder. Taking the easy route of being a bandit already has it's rewards. You don't have to approach anyone with caution or identify targets before pulling the trigger when defending yourself, you just kill them. Plus you get all of the loot from the people you kill so it's far easier getting geared up.

if bandits got some sort of advantage then they would be even more plentiful than they are now. there would be even less point in trying to help people. and dayZ would become even more of a deathmatch simulator.

[The Shadow 119]

and dayZ would become even more of a deathmatch simulator.

Is that even possible 0.o

Hero's do not run faster, it's a myth.

What I assume has been happening is people have been running for awhile, and they changed to a hero, and it reset their stamina/how tired you are back to the normal state. So you'll be faster for a few minutes until you're tired again. Much like you're faster when you're a brand new spawn, but you get slower the more you run.

[R-Dog2422 13]

what do bandits do better than heros? How about make enemies and get shot?

[ShokeR (DayZ) 29]

Bandits have invisible backpacks.

[Mos1ey 6301]

Bandits have invisible backpacks.

Completely forgot about that! ...And your backpack is often the thing that gives away your position, especially if you're prone.

[victusmortuus 1074]

So it goes in terms of speed.

Survivor <Hero < Bandit?

A lot of heroes are bandits these days...

Wouldn't it be cool if bandits looked like Tusken raiders?

[Inception. 9443]

Bandit-wise, it depends on how you play it.

I rob people only if I need or want their equipment. I kill people only when necessary or they disobey my commands/instructions. I've spared lives, saved lives, and taken lives many, many times.

I am less likely to kill a Hero [excluding if he attacks me first or doesn't do what I say in a robbery] than I am to kill a survivor/bandit, because I recognise their good deeds and I know that perhaps they could help another person.

There is morality involved in being a Bandit. And staying true to a bandit playstyle [not a murderer playstyle] is difficult.

Murderers, on the other hand, kill anyone and everyone that they aren't rolling with. So it isn't hard.

I don't think having the Hero skin should reward you with faster speed. Nor should any skin reward you with anything other than what you make for yourself.

[Mos1ey 6301]

I actually agree, but as the hero play style is definitely the hardest of the lot (IMO) I really don't oppose the idea of the skin coming with a couple of extra perks.
