Cheers! :)

So, what was your 'diagnosis'? My 'diagnosis' of WarZ is that it is suffering from a severe, and possibly terminal case of imitation.

Cheers! Yeah, I have a load of videos up and my team mates have started recording too. I'm going to keep editing highlights together from now on, rather than upload an unedited clip that is nearly one hour long. :) I didn't want to kill him man...I thought it would have been funnier to let him tag along with us haha :P The RSPCA were the guys with the evil, laughing car! :D

Just throwing up a video of the hero skin in case any of you guys haven't seen it... http://youtu.be/RBJnku6PXRc http://youtu.be/-xW8il-sbyA In my previous life I had 8411 humanity. I was killed by a bandit at NW Airfield and respawned with 0 humanity, but I now have the hero skin (Ihad camo on at NW Airfield).

*deleted to try to prevent assholish behaviour* TommsteruK is why we can't have nice things. Shoot him on sight if you see him. :) Nick, glad you made it along. :)

Great meeting you guys this evening, here is a compilation of interesting things that happened...haha :D http://youtu.be/flZ2TnC-UcA

Don't you recognise him dude? That picture is of Bigfoot. :P

http://youtu.be/COTd8y6x6cw Side note...NVGs on night servers is kind of easy mode when raiding places, but still kind of bad ass! :D

Two of our guys have the L85 which they mostly use for scouting (only one of them was there with us). One of them has a DMR too (the other guy). I ditched a DMR a while back. Passed up on an M107 tonight. I am not a player killer, so sniper rifles don't really hold any appeal for me. The 'bravery of being out of range' and all that... When I find sniper rifles at crash sites, I usually put them on dead zombies and then hide the body, unless one of my squad wants them. ;) I wouldn't mind an L85 for scouting. But currently, I like having a silenced MP5 with the M249. If either is running low I'll dump them for something else. A red dot M16 and a L85 would be an ideal combo for my play-style.

We found a couple of pairs of NVGs tonight! :) One of our squad also picked up a M107 at a crash at the NW airfield. Are there any of the TPG crew that would fancy trading for it? I reckon he might be up for it. I was talking to the others this evening and I think we are going to hop on your teamspeak and chat tomorrow evening. Also, is that Hunter S Thompson? :thumbsup: :beans:

I'm just wondering if all head shots in this game, from all weapons are lethal to survivors? Or are only certain primary weapons lethal when it is a head shot? Cheers! :)

Video as a link. :) I think the way it displays humanity is buggy right now...My humanity went to 0 after I put a Wookie suit on, then jumped to nearly 15000 after a bit...I'd killed another bandit by then and shot one that ALT F4'd. You get humanity by headshotting or just killing zombies too...I figure that you also get humanity for giving pain killers, morphine, blood transfusions. The counter isn't always accurate though. As I said, it resets when you die and it resets when you put on new clothing, but only visually resets, not actually.

Do you think that I am less likely or more likely to get shot with this skin? It is a cool skin so far. Quite easy to see with it on due to the light shirt, and easier to see in low light. It would be cool if the scarf and cap stayed when I put on camo clothing, or if the scarf stayed even with the wookie suit. At least I know who the murderers are now. Knowing who to shoot is important. ;)

That is correct. It's the fastest way to increase it.

Watching that last video posted in this thread...You are genuinely cringe worthy...

Losing them wasn't such a big deal really, but I would have liked to have gotten to make a few videos of night time crash site raids for the fun. I'll check out teamspeak tomorrow. I could be interested in joining you guys if you are taking on people from the UK/Ireland. *EDIT* I noticed a few of TPG guys having problems connecting to the server last night. I fixed it by manually installing the 95883 beta patch and then launching from the beta OA launcher in the main OA steam folder. Get the 95883 beta patch here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ In case anyone doesn't know, the beta launcher is located in: [The hard drive where Steam is installed]/Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 2 operation arrowhead Apparently you can't add it to Steam though, or it doesn't load DayZ...Roll on the stand alone game. Should make things much more straight forward.

Bummer for you, because I have a Wookie suit on and have a silenced MP5 and a AK 74, and given the rate that our squad is finding crash sites, I'll have an L85 soon enough too (2 of my squad already have one). That should make hunting bandits pretty straight sailing. ;) I kept my hero clothes for special occasions though :P My humanity is now at nearly 15000. Hunting/killing bandits has given this game a whole new lease of life. I can't wait for dogs and tracking! :D

Pretty sure it is this one... http://store.steampowered.com/app/65700/ Might be this one though, if someone could clarify? http://store.steampowered.com/app/65720/

Your humanity is persistent. I have only ever killed bandits and zeds, so my humanity level is high. Seems like I will remain a hero until I kill innocents.

The FN FAL is a terrible weapon to be honest...Draws crowds of zombies from everywhere. Worse than the Enfield. The M16 and the AK 74 seem to be the best (common) assault rifles. I find FN FALs at just about every crash site and wouldn't even touch them. Good luck trying to use it as a PvP weapon. It will notify everyone in the area of your position when you fire it. If you fire it in an enclosed space, prepare for infinite waves of zombies after your brains...blocking all the exits.

I think that the bigger difference is that we can now spot the bandits fairly easily. I've killed two in just one evening. The more bandits whose dayz ( :P ) we ruin, the less unnecessary PvPing there will be in the long run. Overall, it is a great change. Plus, the 'Hero' skin is cool! :D

Man, found my first NVG earlier at the NW Airfield...Left, came back because a team mate wanted to have another look around, got sniped...I had so much great gear too. Ah well. At least I have a hero skin! :D Cool, will do. I'm gonna have to go chopper crash hunting tomorrow, get some NVGs back (wishful thinking) and hopefully get a second weapon.

My humanity 8411...How high does it have to be to get a hero skin? Does the hero skin still work if I have the camo outfit on?

And so it begins...QQ bandits! :D:D:D

Yeah, everything is wonderful as long as you don't go near anywhere where there might be half decent loot...Besides chopper crash sites (that mostly seem to have FN FALs, which are bringers of death!).
