Discourage career bandits

[aethereater 1]

Let people play how they want to. The bandit tears have been around since DayzMod was first released.

What I'm still waiting for, is cannibalism to be implemented completely. I can already steal blood from my handcuffed meal, but what about using the rest of them? Beans aren't the only thing on the menu tonight!

As soon as cannibalism is added, killing fresh spawns will be socially acceptable- as they'll be valuable as a food source.

This game isn't Call of Duty, being a bandit should be one playstyle. It shouldn't however totally dominate over the survivor playstyle. Both playstyles need to be there, and ideally there should be as many advantages for going bandit, as there is to not go bandit. But currently going bandit is the only viable playstyle. So yes, something to discourage going for just one playstyle should definitely be discouraged.

Not everyone is a KoS murderer.  I for one, survive as long as possible and try to get in the position to help others.  Sometimes this means getting the drop on them with a weapon pulled, and forcing them to their knees with their hands on their heads.  But then you can safely offer them food/drink/healing.

 

Just gotta play smart.

That is what I am hoping for. With this, you get a sense of never truly being safe, even after respawning. It won't be as simple as it is now, where you don't expect an M4 wielding bandit in Komarovo, because all the good gear is up north. Your butt puckers up because you don't know if around that next corner there is a wounded player from Zelenagorsk that has trekked all the way back to the coast to ensure they get a good meal and fresh blood in their veins.

 

Life is harsh, nature is scary. DEAL WITH IT

Detatchment:

Due to lack of attatchment to humans the line between the living and the undead begins to blur

sometimes zombies will be rendered as humans with or without gear, and sometimes players will be rendered with zombie skin. (client side only)

This is the only one i wouldn't want to see implemented, solely because i don't really support the whole "Sanity" aspect either. Other than that, some pretty fantastic ideas!

Forcing people to let you help them isn't fun at all

They're all sociopaths. Deal with it. They do what they do because there are no consequences at all. Hell, if you go toe to toe with these guys they'll just combat log off to another server and circle jerk with their friends til they feel better.

 

Anyway, we will have the tools to deal with them but not til later. Private servers, private db, and these guys can go shoot themselves. They sure as hell won't be playing on any of my servers.

Bandits are not sociopaths, if you really think that, you must be completely retarded. This guy comparing PVP in a game to murder irl.. HAHA
