It's only "too bright" if you're in a dark area and are trying to see into a light area without directly looking at it. Edit: But yes, turning down the "getting used to the light and not being able to see jack under a single tree" factor would help a lot. It's realistic for buildings, but not for a lot of the forests.

So, I was dealing with my insomnia last night when I came up with an idea for bored bandits: The Iron Bandit challenge. I've made a quick look around the forums and I haven't seen this particular challenge/game. If someone has come up with the idea before me, though, just have a mod delete the thread. RULES: 1. You may not scavenge for items; the only exceptions to this are larger backpacks (explained below). 2. You may only use the starting items and items that you take from killing other players; you may, however, use them in any way you wish (i.e. you can fill up canteens at lakes). 3. When you kill another player, you MUST drop EVERYTHING you have (except for your backpack itself) and take everything you can off of the player. 3a. If you kill a group of players, you may randomly choose one of their bodies to loot. You may not "peek" or "pick and choose" the items from among the group. 4. If you are forced away from your kill by zombies or other players, you may make a tactical retreat; however, eventually you MUST return to take your victim's items. If the body has been looted in the meantime, that's what you get for running away. 5. There are NO other rules or requirements; you may do/not do whatever you wish as long as you obey 1-4. The reason that larger backpacks are allowed is because some other players, be they survivors or bandits, have larger packs themselves. Give me your thoughts on this, even if they sound something like "this sucks."

There is already another thread on this (unless someone deleted it). But yes, I bought ARMA2 just for DayZ, and I must say that the purchase was worth it. Don't worry; I am not terribadding up your normal games. I'm just here for the DayZ. Edit: I forgot to mention that I am also a survivor, though I won't hesitate to shoot someone if I think he might kill me.

I either don't say anything if I believe the other person is going to kill me, or I say something like "Identify yourself." In fact, just this past evening, I had someone pull a shotgun on me when I asked that. The idiot fired it in the middle of a large city. He survived the horde that attacked him, but he didn't survive lead therapy afterwards.
