Simple but effective

[Smut28 7]

Hi all,

Firstly just wanna say, these forums are pretty friendly. Iv been in the gaming scene for a while now and these are some of the least trolling iv seen in 10 years! Secondly, just want to get your feedback on this simple idea i had about the bandit/survivor battle.

Obviously if you are a good person on this, then you are probably too trusting (like me!). I dont want to ruin someones game, thats my decision. However its not a wrong or right one. The fact that the human brain can make decisions based on right and wrong, good and bad and affect this game, makes DAYZ more than just a game. They didnt really think this would happen, but they have been noble enough to realise that to have heroes and villains in this game is important.

However it needs to be controlled properly, so i have an idea.

At the beginning of server entry, you simple choose Survivor or Bandit. Survivors have friendly fire off therefore they cannot hurt their own race, forcing them to work together. All survivors know that they cannot attack others, therefore it doesnt matter, you may aswell co operate. You can still harm bandits, but not your team mates.

Bandits on the other hand have friendly fire on, enabling them to double cross other bandits aswell as survivors. This would give survivors a certain piece of mind when it came to meeting other survivors and the bandits would be forced to be constantly on guard.

Bandits by nature work alone, or in very small groups. Greed and malice take over the need to survive, co operation is not essential. Therefore they should be punished with fighting on all fronts. Bandits double crossing other bandits. Youre a bad guy after all!

I think being a good guy might pay off a little more if we knew that bandits were fighting eachother and all us good guys were on the up!

Comments Welcome good and bad.

no. this is dumb. leave as is.

the idea of not knowing who is friendly or not is part of the paranoia this game brings. people need to stop making these posts about survivors and bandits. truth is, wer all survivors, just sometimes we want other peoples treasures.

Nooooooooooooooooo! It'll break the bloody game!

P.s - theres a very long and complicated reason that this would break the basic concept of the game but I've already gone into it at length on other threads.

I agree. It would just make "survivors" a bigger target if grief is the end goal.
