archamedes 238 Posted July 21, 2014 I remember back before i got Dayz I would read the Wiki to see all the features and one part explained blood bandits. Where a team of bandits would capture you, restrain you and keep you held in a barn as a living blood bank that they would drain as they so wish. The concept sounded terrifying and something from the Hostel films, but it intrigued me. Do people still do this or is it now a case that "ain't nobody got time fo dat" and just proceed to shoot on sight as they have a tight schedule to keep if they want to make it to NW airfield by tea time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeatHTaX 1217 Posted July 21, 2014 Not really. IV bag is king now, and with the glitches allowing you to eat and drink infinitely there's no point in risking the whole shabang. You would risk getting the wrong bloodtype, and it's just not worth anymore because IV kits are so common and usually everyone running around is already healthy. I feel like this would make a comeback if larger servers were implemented. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archamedes 238 Posted July 21, 2014 I just like the idea that they don't even plan on using the blood, but just out of being evil and displaying dominance, drain blood from a poor victim just for the hell of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeatHTaX 1217 Posted July 21, 2014 hey don't hate the player, hate the game Well the game certainly isn't forcing you to be a vampire...so I think i'll blame the player lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andwari 10 Posted July 21, 2014 Since they'd want to keep the victim alive it would be a problem if he'd just logged out... You don't notice a charakter logging off instant. I met a newspawn with my full equipped friends. We killed the 4 zombies he dealt with and offered him food and bandages. All of a sudden he was gone... I think he did not trust us. So if the bandits come to be in a fight and put the victim in a house they would constantly need one of them to check him not logging off eg by commands to move to the right and left or he'll just be gone. I think this is a good reason it does not happen. Maybe on a PVE Server the victim will stay online and play his part.Interesting idea btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archamedes 238 Posted July 21, 2014 I was told (not sure if true) that if you left the game while handcuffed it killed you to prevent being robbed and abused. I would like to se a feature that stops you from exiting if you are restrained "Cannot leave game while restrained" just to further enhance the fact that when you have someone you HAVE them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you'll have to count on their desire to not combat-log and die from sitting on the ground for 30 seconds. Maybe on a PVE Server the victim will stay online and play his part.Interesting idea btw. Wait...why do you need to steal someone's blood on a PvE server....doesn't that defeat the purpose of a PvE server? Not that the idea of a PvE server isn't already preposterous to me anyway lol edit:I just like the idea that they don't even plan on using the blood, but just out of being evil and displaying dominance, drain blood from a poor victim just for the hell of it Yeah we hosted an Altis Life server on Arma 3 for a while and our lead coder headed the work on several scripts that prevented you from logging out while restrained, or after you have fired your weapon. After firing your weapon you had to wait 60 seconds, and while restrained you could not access the escape menu's functions. I think it took less than a few hours for us to code it and test it? Not that hard :/ just sayin.... Edited July 21, 2014 by DeatHTaX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andwari 10 Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah the handcuff thing. Sorry, i was to this moment not aware that you die when you log out handcuffed. Anytime i was cuffed i was shot anyways :DAnd with PVE i meant Roleplay. Sorry, I mix them up sometimes, since their just both no PVP and Roleplay seems to happen more on a PVE.

trev186 389 Posted July 21, 2014 I just like the idea that they don't even plan on using the blood, but just out of being evil and displaying dominance, drain blood from a poor victim just for the hell of itNo reward for the risk...not people dont want to risk kidnapping a player to toy with cause they could get killed and lose their gear in the process. Now that saline bags are better than blood bags it does not make a lot of sense when the blood itself can kill you. If anything all you need to do to torture someone is break their legs and bandage them and be on your way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted July 21, 2014 Believe it or not, I try to do things like this, or similar. I don't really care about the risk, because in the end, I'm going to die, and it's just a game. I try to keep entertained by the suffering of other players (That is, when I'm not trying to help). I've handcuffed someone just to keep them as my "pet". I have the patience to walk with them, and some people do go along with it. If they listen, I let them go (Sometimes with broken legs if they were being obnoxious). Sometimes I'll cuff you just to drop some stuff into your inventory. It's random entertainment. Quit worrying too much about your virtual stuff, and go have fun, it's just a game :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullraugh 1151 Posted July 21, 2014 I was captured by Vampire Bandits once.. I had some far-fetched outta the ballpark blood type and they put it in themselves. They died about a minute later and I took all their stuff haha. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimey Rick 3417 Posted July 21, 2014 Me and a pal killed a player by draining all of his blood. He was a fresh spawn. IIRC, it took five bags to bring him to one blood (apparently you can't outright kill them by sucking them dry), and then one punch to the face to kill him. We left the blood bags on his corpse./sighThose were the DayZ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Raptor 191 Posted July 21, 2014 Without persistence (e.g. tents) that would be pretty pointless. Couldn't store the blood safely.\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
