Do bandits put people off the game?

[mdmonnik@deakin.edu.au 139]

I had been a hero for a couple of weeks, but decided to go bandit during a clan raid we were doing. Although I didnt kill newspawns, I killed alot of guys with crossbows/enfields/etc that weren't a danger to me. I was in cherno with a FN FAL night vision, I found on a dude.

Thing is, I killed this one guy called 'aussiewolf' many a time, and he just kept coming back :/ I know if a bandti killed me it WOULD NOT put me off the game, but for others?

I hope I dont put people off playing the game....

Thoughts?

No, but griefers do.

[Kyzahh 127]

I think hackers are worse.

But being sniped in Electro as a near fresh spawn from some cock on sniper hill is still frustrating.

[Axz 30]

Not really, bugs and glitches are the worst, followed closely by hackers / dupers / glitchers / dick heads / whatever you want to call them.

For the first two weeks I thought bandits where NPC's haha.

Bandits no... i might be that most ppl are bandits nowdays but that is made by untrust and i dont think that affect the game much as it is still survival and zeds are just annoying, passing thuh a pine will loose them easy.

on the other hand i think all hacking, exploiting, duping, abuse and all ways to grief is what really is killing the game

Without bandits it wouldn't be fun to play as friendlies.

Venturing into Cherno to meet/help other friendlies wouldn't be any fun, if we only had to worry about zombaloids.

ahahahha had a good laugh at this one mate!

[DMC14 46]

no but hackers are shitting me.

[Just a Goat 25]

Hackers drive people off.

I'd say that without bad guys there would be no good guys, but that's not quite true here... a million ways to mess with people without being able to shoot at them.

DayZ without bandits isn't DayZ.

There really are people still complaining about bandits? xD yea maybe you should play my little ponys farm or stuff like that....

Whatver on topic: NO bandits definitely dont ruin the game.. hackers do.

People whining about getting shot are noobs, end of story

[DrunkPunk 159]

bandits are part of what makes this game unique. the FFA pvp aspect adds the level of intensity and reward that no other game really can. without bandits, we'd just be trying to survive glitches and zombies, and that would make for one hell of a boring game. and for those that are turned off by this, there are games like l4d.

[team_player 42]

Honestly it makes me more determined the kill the buggers

[Maniacmike (DayZ) 24]

I think we do...I remember getting pissed off after spending hours/days getting stuff then getting sniped.

But it's a learning curve you have to adapt too.

Like real life, not everyone has the brains to work out how to over come stuff.

[joeoblong@yahoo.com 614]

As a confirmed anti bandit, I have to say true bandits don't. Without thoses guys this game would be stale. Now you all know the type of bandits who ruin this game. (script bitches, griefers, and alt- f4 losers) As for those who would leave because of "true" bandits, really aren't the type we want around anyways.

Oh and Hello Bandit forum, I am a Hero lurking in yer forums! :P

Isn't there an Auzzie on these forums?

lol Nice try, but where is the fun in me handing you that info? That'd be like me asking you that. No fun at all.

[Rybur 2]

Bandits and friendlies are both necessary to make the game better. But, there is a higher number of bandits if you ask me. I usually shoot on sight if I see a fully geared guy, but, if I see someone with a makarov or another shitty pistol/gun I will ask if he is friendly first and if he shoots me he will die.

Quoted for truth.

Most people are idiots.

I was only messing dude lol even if u did there is no guarantee I'll bump into u.

I play on lots of different servers US and DE servers

Bandits are the best part of dayz, but by bandits I mean players who kill players for equipment.

Players sitting on a hill sniping people with their duped AS50, with no intent to loot the bodies they make really break the immersion of this game for me. Go play regular arma if you want to be a sniper!

[Darkurthe 14]

i have to agree with most people on this topic the bandits (like me) make the game a better experiance im a total gamer rager i used to play a lot of COD and whenever i died in that i would throw my chair (if you get that referance you are amazing and deserve beans) but in dayz everytime i die im somehow able to sit back and say well hell that guy was a better bandit than me oh well coast here i come

[Darkurthe 14]

*hit post too early* the snipers can be annoying buy learning things e.g making like a ninja form one end of cherno to the other and out-sniping the snipers feels much more rewarding than doing it on any other game the only bandits that annoy me are the ones who call friendly then balst me when i look away (purely because i fell for it and didnt han their asses)

I am?

Anyway OT: The one thing I will NEVER do is call 'friendly' then shoot. I just couldn't do it :P
