Geryon, I was playing on 434 last night and there were periods of extremely intense fog, sometimes lasting 20 minutes sometimes 5. It was awesome! I've never seen it before, when the fog is so dense you can barely see a few blocks in Elektro, and it's getting dark on top of that. Not sure if that's the server or just a rarer Dayz environment, but every time it came back the side chat exploded with people cheering for the fog's return. Bullet catcher was there, I know because he answered when I asked where to post my positive feedback on the fog!

Sniper, the best way to play is to encounter people in a genuine manner while playing, then maybe getting on teamspeak with them later. Not knowing if the guy you're about to go save from 10 zombies cornering him is friendly or will turn on you is great fun.

Bullet, in your first couple of points you sum up what I was describing. A fellow survivor decides to open fire on you after being given a weapon, you shoot him in the leg to break it and get away safely. Later, he bleeds out and you lose quite a bit of humanity for it. If it's too much to tweak the system, then you're right on that having to make the right call and possibly die to stay a good guy makes the game deep on a level I haven't seen before. I wish that I knew what I know now though, it's gonna be a long way back.

This sounds like an awesome update. Just started playing this game a few months ago, and I haven't been as excited to play a free mod since counter strike and team fortress classic came out for Half Life. I'd love to play the new version, but I don't know what to do after unzipping the files, can anyone help? I have some ideas about humanity if you're interested. All of this came as a result of playing on us 434 vanilla server, where I found that survivors are treated very well by the general populace, but having a bandit skin is a death warrant. I recently made the turn to bandit after having to kill a fellow survivor who turned on me; I successfully knee-capped him and ran off, but when he died I switched to the dark side suddenly. I understand that helping players can restore humanity, but it doesn't seem to be enough. This is compounded by the need to defend oneself against the trigger happy folks who just see a guy in bandits' clothes, again digging deeper into humanity. I suppose it would be better to know how humanity is changed by providing medical assistance to others before I go making suggestions. Regardless, dope ass game guys, thank you for devoting chunks of your free time to doing something that gives a lot of other people a great deal of entertainment.
