there is no side chat, so you must bring back.....

[kauley_hatton@hotmail.co.uk 9]

hey there, thought it would be a logical suggestion that i think everyone would benefit from. there is no side chat anymore (hell knows why...), so it would be benefitial to players if the bandit skin was brought back into the game. the heartbeat doesn't do it for me and i cannot hear a thing if he is a bandit anyway. the players must have some sort of positive certainty that players will rape you if you go near them.

so what do you think? should dayZ revert back to the survivor and bandit skins?

Some servers disable that feature, I'm guessing they like it that way.

Kauley, what you just said will enrange 96 percent of the people on these fourms.

Run, run while you can, dont stop running until you drop. If you awake, youll know you have escaped their wrath.

The Bandit system didn't work. If they are going to reimplement this they will have to drastically change it, and it most likely will not be in the next couple of patches.

there should at least be an indentification system though, slightly different yes but still needs one

When a bandit goes to loot a dead body he killed he would get blood stains on his clothes.

I know it's been suggested many times before but i have not seen anything about the blood being washed off. It would surely make people think about not killing others as much as they do now and wouldn't make a self defence act as bad as the bandit skin system.

The blood would wash out very slowly in the rain and immediately when you wash the clothes in a lake or ocean.

To OP:

You seemed to have forgotten what your point was. Title was side chat, but you seemed to have switched your gears and are more upset about bandit skins being gone.

1. Side chat - server option, unlike original intent to have it removed completely, it's up to the server owner.

2. Bandit skins were resulting in racism, not always justified either. If you killed someone in self defense - now you have a big target sign on your head just because someone shot at you first. Current system isnt perfect, but i find it better than previous one.

That would require remodeling current models to include the blood stains, which happens to be tedious work

If im not mistaken it is achieved only by making a new skin with blood. And that is not a hard thing to do.

It would force you to change to new clothes like you do when you put on a ghillie suit.

Sidechat (or something like that) should be possible if you pick up an item like a radio. It should be very special and maybe unite people to someone with a radio.

Just my thought.

[uglyboy 1]

Yeah it would be so good to be the only guy with a radio on a full server and annoying the shit out of everybody and they wouldn't be able to say anything!!!11

Both side chat and skin removal have increased the immersion imho, sometime i miss not being able to chat a bit, but the game is much scarier and immersive without.
