wondermonkeys09 0 Posted November 24, 2013 How does a game that masturbates to realism in one hand brand you bandit that people should kill after defending yourself from an axe wielding newb in the other? The whole system makes no sense, you should not be aesthetically changed to let people know what your intentions are or past actions were, especially in a game that strives for realism and immersion.

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted November 24, 2013 It was a limited mechanic. The system can't really detect self defense kills. The Hero/Bandit skin was an attempt to help identify thous players who actually want to help form the kill you and wear your face crowd. Sadly it was exploited (bandits would blood bag each other to get the hero skin, and some legit friendly/hero players got bandit skins from defending themselves). If you kill a survivor (standard skin) or hero you lose humanity, if you kill a bandit or perform medical actions on someone (blood bagging, bandaging, giving morphine/painkillers/EPen/antibiotics) gives you humanity. It won't be in the standalone, just be glad about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted November 24, 2013 I'm pretty sure that if the person you shot hit you first, you don't lose humanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted November 25, 2013 I've been killed many times with a means to defend myself. I would rather die with dignity than lower myself to murdering other people. I play DayZ to run from people with guns. If I wanted a gun fight I'd play wasteland or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never really worked, just made it less work to decide who you should shoot. 'Screw interaction, screw actually talking to people, screw deception and lies, it's all about taking pot shots at that cloth-face you saw running on the hill, a baddie for sure.' :thumbsup:I'm pretty sure that if the person you shot hit you first, you don't lose humanity.Only problem with that is if they are chasing you down with a machete, if they hit you you're dead.
