I doubt lootable corpses will ever return to the game because they caused additional lag.

An abundance of available items causing lag could be more Realistic, you know. At least in my experience, when I go shopping with a certain someone, I can see their brain lagging out in real time as I spend an inordinate amount of time scouring kitchenwares for gizmos.
 
Corpses of any entities are not planned to be lootable as far as I know. Bandits will most likely drop loot bags. Right now they do drop whatever weapon they are using. But it's still early and faatal has many plans for how bandits are going to be implemented. Right now they are very rudimentary and he is focused on content for 2.x.

your one of the main reason people think they will be coming soon bringing them up like this.
Bandits are a long ways away so focus and keep us up to date on the current stuff...

I think its a bit silly you can't loot them or steal there guns or maybe even.... eat them?

Can we eat bandits? Asking for a friend

a16 = 7 years ago in 7d2d
since a16 bandits its been approximately a decade (10 years) away from them being introduced.
Honestly, what is the purpose of discussing them until they are actually implemented?
All that does is create false hope for those who have been waiting for years.

Luckily I speak Grandpa Minion so I’ll translate:

Roland stop bring bandits up. You’re one of the main reasons my repeated attempts to claim bandits can’t be added, won’t be added, and are not needed if people just play PVP can’t gain any traction. I’ve been trying so hard to turn people away from bandits and towards PVP and you’re wrecking everything.

Technically we can loot them. The loot bags simply make it so we don’t waste time looting every corpse when most would be empty anyway. In my example I would have failed my quest to run over and loot the corpse but if a loot bag dropped it would still be there once my quest was complete.

As of now you can steal their weapons. When I said they drop them I meant that they are literally on the ground and you can pick them up and take them.

No cannibalism at the moment. Only faatal knows if that will become a thing provided Grandpa allows him to talk about it…lol

Ohhh ■■■■ that's sweet I wounder how it will work with progression, like my guess early game they got pipe and stone Tier weapons then it goes up. *cough cough scrap teir*

But cannibalism would be hella funny. Of course it would have its down sides as it should but ya know. That overlord raider looking kinda thick and ■■■ jerky can't make its self

I'm not really looking forward to bandits and don't think they'll improve the game because I don't play the game to fight people but to fight zombies. Still, I'm willing to give them a chance. And even though I'm not really looking forward to them, it is a good thing that Roland keeps giving us info about them. It's sad that GM is so focused on PVP that he doesn't want to let other people enjoy learning more about upcoming features.... features that obviously are working even if they still have work to do on them, considering Roland's already playing the game with bandits.

Not to add fuel to the fire but... On June 6, 2017, Alpha 16 was released; so over 8 years ago.

You seem to forget that, even if they worked on the bandits during that time, it was decided that they were not good enough to be in the game. TFP put the bandits on the back burner and would revisit them at a later time. The time is now as they're already doing advance testing on them in 3.0 b79 (I think that's what Roland mentioned). Of course Faatal and others will have to do more work on the bandits once Update 2 is complete, but from what's been said, they are already much better than what was done during the A16 stage. Plus we know the animation on the bandits should be great since they have people to work on those (which are also working on 3rd person view).

Please, stop with the negative comments. If Roland wants to mention bandits, a bunch of us are more than happy to read about it as gives us hope about what to look forward to in later updates. It almost seems like you're afraid that bandits will kill your beloved PVP or something.
If you want to be negative and miserable, please do it on your own time and stop bringing it here; we don't need or want it. Some of those posts of yours are borderline doom and gloom, which is not allowed on the forums.

Thank you.
