    I think they spawn in gate houses at the castles. I've found mine at Zub Castle's gate house and another player on my server did the same.

     

    Good Luck.

     

    I've found one on the stairs of the biggest tower in Devil's Castle on your server. On my 2nd loot run there. Guess I was just lucky.

    I understand that there are concerns about farming humanity by killing zeds, but I'm convinced that this problem is solved if the humanity increases only if the zed is aggroed at somebody else (perhaps somebody else than a bandit to again diminish the clan farming problem). You wanted to make zombies a threat again, right? Then provide incentives for players to engage with them! Making them stronger will just lead to everyone trying to avoid them even more. Imagine just +1 humanity for each. You'll usually need to kill more than a thousand of them to make up for a, possibly accidental, survivor kill. During all that work, you'll have to resist killing another survivor. I'm convinved that almost all bandits won't do that.

     

    I think this is a great idea. Make zombies as strong as they used to be (in 1.8.1), at least the viral ones, and reward players for helping other survivors with zombie problems. Maybe +1 humanity for killing an ordinary zed aggroing on somebody and +2 for a viral one. Farming humanity like this to get a survivor skin back or a hero skin, for those bandits with really low humanity, would take a really long time and thus be really boring and rare. But for someone who enjoys playing a hero style, it would be a really good way to actually play heroic, defend other survivors and gain humanity from that (as killing bandits doesn't really give you humanity boosts), either to get a hero skin or to keep a survivor skin which you can easily lose simply by defending yourself. And most people now use only hatchets to kill zombies, guns are there only to kill people basically, and with this system there would be a reason to snipe zombies, use guns to be humane, not just to kill a man.

     

    And what if you could still gain humanity for defending bandits from zombies? Heroes could then have dilemmas whether it's more useful to defend the bandit (and gain some humanity and maybe team up in the end, change his ways, who knows?) or kill him and gain nothing but temporary safety.

    You don't gain any humanity for killing bandits. When you're in negative humanity, there is an auto humanity regeneration system in place that stops at 0. It regenerates slow. As for the alice pack, I'm curious as well. 

     

    I know the British Assault pack is still there as I've gotten it, however I haven't seen the alice or survival acu packs at all. L85's only spawn at heli crashes I think.

     

    I'm sure you do gain humanity for killing bandits, but it's so rare it seems you never do. But I know I've got some humanity boosts for killing bandits and so did my friends, but it's so irregular. And the auto humanity regeneration seemed to work for me until I reached around 1500+ humanity, then it stopped. So I'm not sure how that works either.

     

    The backpacks exist in the game, they are much harder to find though.. I manage to find them all. I currently have the Czech pack right now. You find them in military barracks mostly. For the L85 I have only found them once in 1.8.2. I haven't found one in 1.8.3 yet.

     

    You sure you found the ALICE pack? I've found or seen on other survivors all backpacks since the 1.8.1 update except the ALICE pack. If it does exist then it's extremely rare. More than the big coyote backpack even as I've seen players with this backpack but not the ALICE pack. Which doesn't make sense since the ALICE pack only has 16 slots. Why not make it like 17 slots, one more slot than the ACU survival and make it a bit more rare than it but still possible to find?

    Hi everyone.

     

    I've got a few questions about recent updates and stuff.

     

    Humanity and killing bandits - how exactly does it work today? I've noticed me and my friends were gaining humanity from killing bandits when we had low humanity but this stops all together after reaching +1000 or +1500 humanity. I know humanity system is kinda broken but I was just wondering if this is fixable? Can humanity on killing bandits be more consistent?

     

    Survivor skins - so since the last patch there's only one survivor skin? The bright/beige one? Was just wondering why? From afar it's very similar to the bandit skin and it doesn't really give you any advantage of being a survivor unlike when we had the dark survivor skins and it was easier to hide in trees and dark which I think was fair for people who aren't maniacally KoS-ing everyone everywhere.

     

    Loot - were the ALICE pack and L85 totally removed from loot tables? I think the ALICE pack was pretty cool and I haven't seen it since the 1.8.1 update at all. If it does still exist where does it spawn? All I see now is a bunch of patrol packs everywhere. I think the ALICE pack should come back for some more variety.

    Also I haven't seen an L85 in a long long time. Don't know what happened to it.
