No they didn't, I stayed alive to kill a few more people.

Yeah, I know... a lone wolf taking on multiple people one after the other or at the same time is definitely bogus.

I don't see anything in regards to your humanity in that link. All I see is a sneaky way to promo your youtube channel. touche!

The double barrel is horrible. But, once in a while it can bring the pain.

A null hit on your humanity would have to be the only compromise to this.

Bandits are mostly just regular people pushed over the edge. I was like most of you for the first two weeks I played. After the 5th betrayal or so, I decided to terminate everything that moves that I don't know. i.e. anyone that I am not speaking to, on vent.

It is needed, otherwise I would gain humanity for the bandits I have killed. It would sort of nullify the negative humanity impact. And remember, bandits are people too.

oh, yeah, killing bandits gives you less humanity.

I have hundreds of murders and maybe like 30 or so bandit kills

That is exactly what makes DayZ special. It doesn't placate (slowly going away - bandit/hero skins) to the losers who QQ about losing pixels. The moment they punish me for murdering/banditing/ensuring my survival, is the moment this game becomes like every other POS game out there that tries to hold the same style. I hope Rocket sticks to his guns and, even with the BIS buyout, he doesn't let those corporate dickheads stick their, well, dickheads into this project.

Not complaining about the firefights. I live for those in the game. That is why I play. The sense of realism is gone. Now, when some twerp sees me, he will auto DC because he knows that his time is for sure limited. It also takes away from realism. Now you know that I will engage before I actually do. Whereas, before, you didn't know for sure. I hope you shoot at me, that snap or whirl gets me going. It also makes me feel just a tad bit less badly about killing you (jk, I never feel bad - it is a video game, you dummies).

On what? On ARMA 2 version that will go stagnant? Or, on the ARMA 3 version that will be released as a prebuild-alpha (as well) and we get to buy it again? I bet that one never gets finished, either. This whole thing is funny. I love how hacking is the real issue and the only thing they patched (properly) was the ammo bug. HAHA!

Know how I know most of you are prepubes, pimply and full of shit? Cause HonestBill had a decent post with great points. Points I agree with and some I don't. But, nevertheless, his points were more poignant than anything any of you have put up. In the end, you will move on (hopefully) and the real players will still be here. You just want the devs to cater to your sense of security. As if in real life I would have a towel on my head indicating I am a murderer. With all that said, I don't mind it, per se. It will suck more for you, than me. Trust me, on that.

Permdeath - It is still a death. Just because people play as a team and watch over their friends corpse/gear doesn't take anything away from the game. In fact, it is a great mechanic and if you don't have anyone to do that for you, oh well. I have a team, and I do that for most of them. There are some, that I wouldn't do that for, cause they haven't shown me the same respect. But that is neither here, nor there. What I mean by that is, you win some you lose some. Sounds like you are pissed cause you keep losing and/or you have no one to help you out. This does not detract from the overall experience of the game. Once again, it creates strong ties between you and the other player (hopefully, unless they are stupid and selfish - which does happen - you will know next time, when it is there turn to help and they vulture your body - lesson learned). Both have happened to me and those people will never get my respect, nor protection. They are my decoy, at most. Scavenging - I agree with all of this. Meta surfing for loot is gross. I have done it twice. I felt like a ninny. Finite resources - I agree with you. But, it is an engine problem and everyone does it. Including you. You can't help certain things. Am I never supposed to log out (supposedly fixed now). How about finding a suit? Am I supposed to refrain from putting it on, because it will refill my ammo? I tend to drop the civ clothes because I don't like to willingly exploit any engine. As for dupes? Bug, unavoidable. And everyone has nice weapons cause hackers are spawning shit for everyone. Oh well, BIS has to care for this to change. Disorientation/Isolated start - IDGI, are you for or against this? I am for this, but I will venture towards my team if they are online. I know when I get there, at the very least I have protection till I find a weapon. I don't get your argument on this point. Last point - ... ...And there it is, folks. It is a care-bear post in disguise. I knew it. I am for my DayZ experience. Who the fuck are you to tell me that the way I play is not the DayZ Experience? Go play your game the way you feel is right. I will continue to play the way I want. I hate CoD, trust me. I love this game and the experiences it has brought me. Maybe if some of you spent some time learning the game mechanics and training your aim you would be real players (yeah, I said it) and wouldn't cry so much.

I bet they ran extensive tests on this patch at Rocket's Grandma's house.

I stopped reading a bit into OP's post when I realized there would be a QQ at the end. I might be wrong, maybe, maybe not (heh). Either way, you take me and anyone that plays like me out of the game (where I will KoS 8/10 times) and what do you have left? An SP experience with broken AI and no real path or story line. Boring game-play that makes no sense and only a dullard would enjoy. I understand the frustration of getting killed over and over again. The thing is, it is you, not I that needs to change. Observe Adapt Overcome or, Die!

It isn't supposed to reset, between lives. It was always all inclusive. At least that is what I remember reading.

I think you have my humanity, breh! I had 0 last night and I average around 6+ murders spanning over about 400+ characters.

LoL @ that! I hope they give them plenty of heads up so they can make new scripts before release of these countermeasures. What a joke BE is.

Did you just admit to aborting in a fire-fight situation? M rated games should not be sold to minors. Nothing you can give as an excuse makes what you did, OK. He was playing the game, and you took that away from him. If you don't want other players to engage you, then go play single player. This game is obviously not for you, if you are a bitch and will DC when engaged. Disgusting.

I had 0 humanity last night when I logged in and some towel wrapped around my head (at least it wasn't a fucking scarf making me looking like a french man.) I was running to a friend, to get a blood pack and give one (even though it will raise my humanity.) I got about halfway (I had only killed 3 zed - now 150 humanity) and my skin changes back to survivor. Meh! My question is, I thought this was supposed to indicate all your murders through all your chars? If so, it is broken. I should be at -10K. Can this dev team get anything right? Oh, and by the way, graphic glitches are still there. Nice try!

Now there is no reason to front anymore. At least with the survivor skin, I can pick and choose my victims. Shit, I could even help some of them or leave them alone. Now, that people will surely be gunning for me, more so than before. I'll just sweep through towns killing everything, without even so much as a word. Good for care-bears (lol - not really, you will lose). Really bad for the game and the immersion aspect.

The game mechanics are working. Remember, in a Post Apoc situation, it is not the strangers you would have to worry about, per se, but your tried and true friends.

How many wana bet, my video will receive more attention for my comment on the winnie ammo drops, and dislikes to boot? As opposed to my graceful and tactical disposal of the pseudo-bandit.
