90% Bandits, 5% Hackers, 5% Survivors?

[meat_helmet 2]

Hi all,

Is it just me or does the current makeup of players seem like; 95% Bandits, 5% Hackers, 5% Survivors?

Hackers might be a bit less, but from the servers I play, 90-95% of encouters with other plays result in them shooting, and normally killing me.

I hear of nice people that roam servers helping others, but have never come across one, only tense stand-offs where it seems either party doesnt want to shoot but is afraid the other will.

So just wondering, is it just my server choice/luck??

Cheers.

I see you know how to use a calculator.

0% heroes? So my character don't exist? Fuck.

Bahaha, yep, I went to univesarty!

Too good to edit out!

I would say its 5-10% hackers, 30% shoot on sight murderers, 10% genuine non murdering players with the remaining 50% made up of people who will swing between not shooting you, and shooting you depending on factors like : what you are carrying, what they are carrying, where you are on the map, If they see you first, if you get them on voice chat etc.

I think you just had a bad run.

95% + 5% + 5% = 100% ... seems legit...

But now on-topic; Yes, a lot of players started to go KoS but I also notice a lot of teams/squads working together (who obviously don't KoS on eachother).

On the otherhand; the last couple of days we've been doing some PVP action against eachother (around 10 ppl). We gear up, make teams, get dropped at a location with a chopper, and start killing eachother :D And afterwards we go back and loot our own bodies.

The guys I'm playing with aren't shooting at survivors (unless shooting at us), we just kill eachother... for fun! So we are the other 5%, right?

Hackers are much more.

Bandits are far less. I think the percentage of your '90%' that you really need, in replacement of 'bandits', is 'murderers'. There's a difference between the two. Also, there are far more survivors.

Those tense stand-offs are survivors.

The other reason that your statistics are skewed is because a real survivor will do everything they can to ensure that you don't even know they're there. You might have walked past 10 of them today already.

The stats on the main page are interesting.

1 million players.

29 Million Spawns.

1 Million alive characters.

5 Million murders.

Time played 17642486 hours.

Avg life time 1.083 hours

So going by that, everyone has been murdered about 5 times each and spawned 29 times each, which doesn't seem too bad.

However, total_time_played / avg_life_time should give us the number of spawns (29M), but it actually gives us 211M spawns... so the statistics on the front page aren't all in sync with each other...

Yeh good point actually. I've done this many times myself, and didn't take that into account.

Scripters are probably much less than people think.

BUT, it only takes one asshole to ruin 50 people.

Probably most scripters server hop a lot so they can annoy as much people as they can lol

Theres alot less bandits and more hackers than your percentages say. Especially after the recent drop below 100k active players as legit players go elsewhere for enjoyment whilst the hackers continue to enjoy HackZ.

Guess ive been lucky, only 1 hacker on last 7days.

The thing is your being a stereotypical a$$ saying something like that, yes I am a bandit but bandits come in all different shapes and sizes. I don't shoot people who are unarmed or I wont shoot something if they have an axe and have a decent distance I only kill those who are a threat is that so bad. I also kill people who are trying to kill the unarmed

Heroes kill people who are a threat.
