Sephka (DayZ)

Sniping is the most difficult kind of shooting you can do in DayZ. Using an Assault Rifle or anything related is just point and click. Using a sniper you suddenly have to account for distance, time of bullet travel, even elevation. You have to use a very loud gun that draws a lot of attention to yourself, from both zombies and other players. Sniping doesn't need nerfed. The problem isn't sniping itself, it's all the duping and hacking that's made AS50's just as common as Lee Enfields, if not more so. As long as these issues are fixed in standalone, which I have every bit of confidence that they will be, you'll see a lot less would be snipers out there. I imagine you'll never see another 50 cal in Cherno or Elektro ever again, maybe with a few super rare exceptions.

There are a lot more situations than this where it's self defense, avenging a teammate, stopping someone from stealing from you or whatever, but you still lose humanity. It needs to be HEAVILY tweaked if it's going to work. Honestly, I love the idea but I personally believe Rocket needs to ditch the humanity system. I don't doubt his abilities but I'm not sure if he'll be able to come up with a way to make this work. I'd love for him to prove me wrong but having the game itself try to tell you who is bad and who is good is probably never going to work.

Try joining and leaving different servers repeatedly until you spawn on the coast. That might fix the bug. If it doesn't post here again (preferably) send me a PM and I'll see if I can help ya.

It depends. Personally I love the M4 over any other gun. However, I'll take an M16 M203 over any M4 that isn't an M4 Holo. It just depends what you want out of your gun.

There are plenty of me. People just like to blow banditry out of proportion because they're mad they died. Hell I got shot at by a bandit on the way to him. I called friendly and explained my situation to him. He stopped shooting and we both just went on our way. As for the "Wilderness is here" people. I know of at least 2 confirmed wilderness spawns. The Kamenka one, and one right next to/in Cherno that for some reason says Wilderness. There are probably more.

Check your PM's.

I think playing any video game is a waste of time. That's what they are. Time killers. There's always something more constructive you could be doing, something you could be learning. Doesn't make them any less fun. Just because we're getting stand alone doesn't mean playing the DayZ mod is anymore a "waste of time" than anything else. Hell, it's still helpful to the developers as long as we keep providing feedback for Rocket and co. to use.

HOLY NOSTALGIA RUSH. I beat my first boss EVER on SML2. Nice video.

Just keep in mind the DayZ DB map isn't the entire map and you'll be fine. This map here shows the entire thing, as well as the few loot spawns that the DayZ DB map doesn't show because it has some of the north cut off. Personally I like the look of DayZ DB better but this one is still nice. http://db.dayzwiki.com/map/chernarus

My Humanity is over 6000. I still look like a bandit. I haven't even morphed into a normal survivor yet, let alone a Hero. So, if it's really true that 5000 is the threshold for Hero, can anyone explain to me why I haven't morphed yet?

DayZ DB doesn't show the entire map, it cuts off a good portion of the northern section. When grass disappears and it's nothing but bare rolling hills, you're out of the map. Anything past 000 is out of the map.

Humanity carries over when you die. I know this much. I'm just trying to find out it anyone has exact numbers on when you morph, but from the lack of replies I'm guessing it's either just bugged or nobody knows yet.

Does this mean I'll always look like a bandit to myself, or will it eventually change? Is this confirmed? I've joined some servers sometimes and had 0 humanity, then when I gained the 150 over time I'd switch skins to a normal survivor. Now I'm way past 0 and still look like a bandit.

I've tried searching this but couldn't find any specific numbers. I was under the impression that I would lose my bandit skin at 2000 humanity. I'm now 4600+ and still running around as a bandit. I was also under the impression that you got the hero skin at 5000, but seeing as I haven't lost my bandit skin yet, I'm not sure how reliable that information is. Does anyone know the exact numbers you need to achieve bandit/hero status, and how much you have to raise/lower your humanity to lose bandit/hero status?

Take a look at this. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/18677-arma-2-in-all-its-glory-ultimate-mod-thread/
