IGravemind 10 Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) Good day everyone, Today I share with you all my latest Let's Play DayZ video for DayZ Standalone. In this episode I stumble across a lot of bandits and unfriendly players that made me think - what happened to the good old days of DayZ?Anyway, I manage to find myself in a rather unique scenario - hope you all enjoy the content! Be sure to head on over and subscribe to my channel by clicking HERE, more DayZ content on the way! Edited June 28, 2014 by IGravemind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emigrates 261 Posted June 28, 2014 I don't understand who the bandit is and who isn't, you're all killing each other and the first kill of the video goes to you.If you don't enjoy bandit play, don't go to high pop areas on high pop servers with rifles out camping in a building. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGravemind 10 Posted June 28, 2014 That is the whole point, the fact you don't understand who the bandit is.Back when DayZ first came out as a mod practically everyone helped one another with the odd bandit. Now, that has been flipped: practically everyone is a bandit with the odd hero. I only kill if shot at. Simple as that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now, that has been flipped: practically everyone is a bandit with the odd hero.I don't know much about playing as a hero, I only move around in a big group with people I can trust. But if you want to approach NEAF and not get shot, maybe removing your weapons would help. People will shoot on sight because you're a potential threat. People do not like threats. I only kill if shot at. Simple as that.When you bugged out of the building, crawled around the wood a bit and came back, I saw you shoot him first, not the other way around.

I shot him first on that occasion because he had shot at me first earlier on... (not sure if it is in the video, i think it is) but trust me when I say that I had good reason to shoot at him. I ain't a dick on this game, like many other people are. I try to help people but yeah.. bandits do not want to be helped :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try to help people but yeah.. bandits do not want to be helped :/ I must have missed that part, then again it can very difficult to differentiate between targets in a YouTube clip, they all seem the same to me! Currently, I feel as though if I see a target and do not kill that target, he's a potential threat to try and kill me later on. I don't like playing with threats, if we have the chance to get talking to him, we will - but we won't lower our weapons until he's far, far out of sight.

street707 154 Posted August 1, 2014 I enjoy playing both roles. DayZ would be boring without the risk of dying at anytime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dheid 3 Posted August 4, 2014 I feel DayZ has gotten all about shoot shoot shoot and not how it used to be. I guess it just those COD addicts coming from console! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
