Now im a Bandit?

[Regiee 5]

Last night i killed you (whoever you were). You were in the next room of the barracks, i used direct communication to ask if friendly but you decided to stalk me instead.

I heard you get up and proceed to walk into the hall way, i raised my m1911, and as you appeared, i emptied my entire clip into you.

Although, i receive a murder, and am now classed as a bandit i guess.

I cant help wondering if you were a bandit that hadnt found someone to kill yet, or didnt see/reply to me for another reason.

At least you didnt D/C right away (or couldnt), thanks for the supplies :P

He was a survivor. Otherwise you would have gotten a Bandit kill, and not a murder.

I can't tell the difference. I never see anyone with a bandit skin. They all look alike.

Today I was entering a hangar and another guy with a pump shotgun was in there. Having been ganked by players before for no reason and even while I was unarmed and had nothing for them to take I fired my Winchester and hit him in the leg. Just as I was raising to fire he says, "No don't!"

Too late!

Well not really. I said I was sorry and told him to let me help him out. He said, "No don't." I did it anyway.

I bandaged his wound and asked him if he needed anything else. He asked for a morphine and I gave him one of mine. He got up and went on his merry way.

I can't remember his name. Murdock or something like that. He logged after he go to the control tower.

It's hard to trust people in this game. Usually they shoot you before you can even say "friendly!" and even if you do they shoot you anyway. That just makes it easier for them I guess.

I'm not sure what I'll do next time. Probably shoot first.

It's hard to do the right thing in DayZ.

Yeah mate, i was fully aware of that, hense the title of the post :)

Unfortunately, this is the way things are done now. I applaud your humility in helping him out. I've also been ganked many times, even tricked and used a few times, so all bets are off at this stage. When (or if) they implement a system to better tell what someones intensions are, im going to have to keep shooting first.

I usually help out people I meet, but for the most part I try to avoid them if I see them first and they haven't seen me yet.

I've had some bad experiences with people but for the most part the people I meet are reasonable. Can't agree to the whole 'everyone on DayZ is out to kill you' mentality.

u did the right thing.

and on this update the "bandit" thing is f'd up.

im a bandit.

"kill everyone, expect when im in need of help."

but when people kill me they dont get bandit kill.

I believe if you have 3+ murders you become a bandit in game

[Sm00th 0]

IS that true 3+ murders? What if you get a bandit kill do you automatically become one?

[Jai (DayZ) 11]

No, gaining bandit kills means nothing.. apart from doing everyone on the server some justice.. But if you get 3 or more murders you become a bandit, which again changes nothing just means if someone kills you, they will gain a bandit kill instead of murder

[TigerEye (DayZ) 1]

Are people still spawning with a bandit skin? Also, once you kill a bandit they spawn as a survivor again don't they? So how can you tell if they are a bandit?

[Jai (DayZ) 11]

The bandit skin was taken out weeks ago, Yes when you kill a bandit they spawn back as a survivor again. They added in a heartbeat sound to replace no having the bandit skin, the more murders the faster the heartbeat. But it doesn't work for a lot of people anyway

I wasnt aware it was a three kill consequence, but i've seen a couple of videos on youtube where the heartbeat sound appears when looking at a player (which i thought was meant to signal a bandit instead of a skin these days) But whilst playing with my friend the other day, he freaked out over the sound and tried to find it... It ended up being me and i've only got that one murder to my name?

Just dont know. I have no problems being a bandit, i know my kill was warrented, though i would like to know exact requirements for becoming a bandit.

A Huh! so the heart beats gets faster!, thats something ill have to watch, thanks for sharing that info.

[Jai (DayZ) 11]

Right, The heartbeat reacts to any murders you have regardless of the 3+ murders, as I said the more murders the faster the heartbeat but if you get 3+ murders you're counted as a bandit for the person who kills you

[Regiee 5]

but if you get 3+ murders you're counted as a bandit for the person who kills you

Now im gettin it, thanks for clarifying mate, hopefully someone will come along and find this answer here,

Cheers,
