The heartbeat thing and murders

[Tegla (DayZ) 112]

Does anyone else find this annoying more than helping?

I mean, my friend and me are bandits. Not that we actively go and hunt players, but we shoot on sight. That is what makes the game fun for us, so what.

But, seing as we are very close to each other most of the time, i always hear a loud TUMDUMDUM sound and it's very irritating :dodgy:

Couldn't you make it at least that i have to stare at him for a couple of seconds before hearing the sound? :/

Also, i noticed that in .4 there are no flies around dead bodies, and when i kill someone it doesn't count as a murder in my debug monitor. Not that i care because i collect murders or something, but it was something that made me sure that the person is dead. That and the flies, which are gone

I think they still want to keep the uncertainty factor in play when looking at another player, otherwise they would not have removed the bandit skin. This is meant to be a sixth sense kind of thing like hairs standing up on the back of your neck when you know something is there without looking. But that is kind of hard to simulate through the computer for now. :p

But yeah it sounds irritating. They could make it so that bandits don't get the effect at all in range of other bandits. Kind of adds a risk element to being a bandit if you cannot detect being stalked by others. Live by the sword kind of thing.

But only making it so the heart beat happens when you look at someone diminishes the point of having removed the bandit skin at all because it is a positive detection method. Imagine if you spot like 2-3 lone wolf-like people in and around your area and begin hearing the heart beat. You have no idea if only one or all of them are bandits and the uncertainty adds depth. If you can simply crosshair over them to wait for a heart beat then there is no depth to that since you can be 100% sure who is and is not a bandit.

Just my opinion, anyway.

"The beating of the hideous heart!"

Personally, I hope the soundtrack of your misdeeds drives you slowly insane with guilt:

In my honest opinion they should just bring the bandit skin back.

There's nothing either fun or realistic (despite what people seem to think) with 98% of people just shooting each other either because they don't know or just because it's fun to them.

Yeah, that was kinda fun. But i don't think they can bring it back
