RTM 5 Posted July 18, 2012 We've been getting pretty much off-game hi-jacking from bandits trying to deface our application thread and spread rumours about our clan as traitors and shit. Well, here's a warning to applicants and other friendly groups out there. Don't let bandits or posers ruin your chance to have a good experience at gaming. Rumours and shit, before you decide, just hear it out from the actual members first, before jumping into conclusions.http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/wq59t/warning_dont_team_up_with_soh_warning/That thread right there is a perfect example of bandits trying to pose as members of a friendly group, trying to spread bad reputation. It's really sad to see that it has come to a point like that.~{SoH}~ is a friendly group. And for the record, I've had good experiences with them for a long time now. And I know a lot of friendly groups out there feel the same with your own groups. Don't let hi-jackers ruin your app threads and shit.One thing I don't get is that, how can a bandit like this http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/user/35698-minime121/ guy post a "I heard about this clan inviting you and then killing you sorry if i have the wrong name but still be warned Survivors if they kill you i told you!" comment on our application thread thinking that it's not an obvious hi-jack attempt. Viewing his backposts, and realizing he's a bandit, it's not that much of an effort, but really now?Friendly groups will probably get more of these people, but I hope legit friendlies won't give up in establishing the other side of DayZ. A friendly organization is still possible, even with these meta-gaming hi-jackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Cheers for the heads up. I love nothing more than hunting bandits. I've you've got any base locations I'll be happy to go and deal with them for you.*edit* With that in mind I was wondering if there's any way of gathering information from different friendly groups into one pool of knowledge (bandit camp locations ect.) and then arranging a tactical assault one night to wipe out as many as possible.I usually work alone so don't have access to group information but people with contacts could be useful for inteligence. I'd be happy to join a group for a raid or go it alone. Edited July 18, 2012 by Fraggle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted July 18, 2012 I've been helping a member of this clan and his friend.The name is ~{SoH}~ Vaugh*something* And I have not once had trouble with him or his friend.I even gave him the first SVD Camo I ever found, and he managed to save my life with it, by killing a person that sneaked onto us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RealityBlights 0 Posted July 21, 2012 This sort of thing makes me sad. Taking bandit actions out of the game is just so...meta. And shows the person is an ass-hat. Bandits in-game is one thing, but spending time out of game to ruin others experience? Bleh, they should be destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RSOblivioN 8 Posted July 21, 2012 Really? Meta-gaming is what makes the MMO EvE work. If there was no intrigue outside of the game it would be stale as all hell ingame. I personally think more people meta-gaming and expanding the interaction in and out of the gameworld is fascinating and could even be used to great effect to add depth to the game.
