PhreaK (DayZ) 0 Posted July 16, 2012 i know this has probally been seen over too. and thought over and over agian about. but having bandit skins where a nice tribute to the game. and was a nice effect in the game. now not showing bandit skins makes it harder for others to determine if the enemy / player they're currently speaking to / typing is a friend or foe and is trustable or not...i mean havgin 1-2 kills and bandit skin is bad for sure.. but what about making the skin kills higher such as 10 kills? or 6-10? having the bandit skin adds some nice effects to the game and help out with others not sticking with the original boring old skin and people with the civilian skin can debate if you ask friendly towards other players wearing citizen skin.Thanks, PhreaKR.I.P Skins!! <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RapturJesus 90 Posted July 16, 2012 Bandit skins do help players identify... well.. bandits. But what about the people who kill in self defense? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Cdn-Chard 96 Posted July 16, 2012 If we were trying to simuate a zombie apocalypse, then the last thing a bandit would do would be to get dressed up in bandit clothes and run around as a target to everybody.That being said, i think there was a lot more cooperative play when bandit skins were active, because there was a trust factor implicit with the skin. Survivor skin.. no/few murders = more trustworthy. I didn't like the loss of the bandit skins at the time, but I've come around. This has morphed into a different genre of game, one in which the feelings of paranoia, fear and self preservation run deep. Don't trust anyone you don't have on comms.. Anyone can betray you at anytime, anywhere... Sounds pretty real to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreaK (DayZ) 0 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) i did read the stickies i'm just trying to get the skins back tho. as i said they're a great tribute to the game for new players.. i've managed to get a few friends to play and they die to people wearing the civilian skins and they're confused on whats going on around them..but if you're trying to stop the post why post?and to the people that kill in self defense that's they're problem if they don't wanna trust anyone that's entirely up to them but just having skins to determine other around them would be nice to have back..

Rocket removed them for a reason. He said that making bandits noticeable by putting bandit rags on them is silly. They aren't coming back, and thats a fact. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Togasa 5 Posted July 16, 2012 Bandit skins aren't going to come back, rocket has said in the future he wants players to have their own unique skins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tagg 13 Posted July 16, 2012 how about a nice in between?have it be a low-medium (10-30% or 10-40%) chance of a bandit skin spawning on a player who is killed by another player.that way Bandits are not FORCED TO GET BANDIT SKIN IF MURDERING... so they can remain anonymous, while those who liked the different look... can kill a few/many people(depending on % chance) and possibly find a skin. THIS would also have the added benefit of ... the bandito must leave his 'fortress/tower' to go into the fields and loot.. /shrug 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted July 16, 2012 I agree though. Bandit skin removal hurt the mod more than it helped.It turned the game into instant deathmatch. Everyone fires on each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nulak 0 Posted July 17, 2012 Is there any topic about bandit skin idea, i would like to see it back too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted July 17, 2012 It turned the game into instant deathmatch. Everyone fires on each other.Except, you know, the fact that life expectancy has gone up and murder and banditry rates down since they were removed.Don't let me intrude on your forum fantasyland, though.Bandit skins are gone for good.Better systems for player categorization have been proposed.Stop asking for their return. It's not going to happen.Ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
