Yeah, night would be fine if your character could HOLD THE DAMN FLASHLIGHT STRAIGHT WHEN RUNNING. Seriously, it's not that hard.

You do realize 90% of people don't run DayZ from steam lol.

Not really my point - I'm just sayin' if I killed every single person who shot at me first, I'd be a bandit for sure. The reason I have such high humanity is because I usually don't shoot back.

Do you guys think humanity drops a bit too fast when shooting someone? I mean, I'm certainly not a bandit or something - just yesterday, my friend got ran over by a car, so I popped both of the people in the car with an M1911. My humanity went from 3.3k to -1.1k immediately. I know humanity is based on how many times you hit them, but doesn't that simply encourage sniper rifle usage so humanity decreases slower? Humanity just seems to drop too fast for an average person to not become a bandit. I can't imagine what my humanity would be if I killed every survivor that shot at me first.

I only had an M24 I found at balota a few hours ago. No other weapon. Even if I had an automatic weapon, I would like to keep my humanity high :P

You're right Twoski, it probably would have been better off not on the forums. Sometimes I just feel like posting this stuff though. It started a discussion anyways, so I don't think the topic is entirely useless. :P I was just a bit mad when I logged off the server, that's all.

An offroad I found on the beach when I spawned. I started driving random people to random places :P

Wow. The whole point of this game is scavenging. If I don't get the gun myself, I feel no satisfaction in having gotten the gun.

A hacker comes onto the server. And he doesn't mass kill us. He just TP's us to the beach littered with ammo boxes. His name was "Qzuilla" or something like that. Anyways, I tell the hacker to fuck off. And you won't believe it, but some people actually told me to fuck off. Some people actually support hackers. I can't believe it. Some people actually support hackers because they give people ammo boxes and TP everyone to the beach. Seriously. What the fuck has this game come to. Players actually don't care if people hack as long as they give everyone AS50's and Ghillie's.

You do realize that the Arma 3 engine is just a heavily tweaked version of the Arma 2 engine, right? They don't have to tweak the entire engine to fit DayZ. They just take some of the already made arma 3 engine, add it to the arma 2 engine, and add their own special dayz stuffs. By your logic, arma 3 also sucks ass because it's heavily based on the arma 2 engine.

You know what else is super realistic? Healing broken bones with morphine and fixing major bullet wounds with bandages and cooked meat. Stop posting suggestions based on realism. It's stupid.

And screw over the people with weaker computers? Not everyone can spend money on a brand new computer. Even people with jobs. My computer is enough to handle everything I want it to handle - why should I be forced to buy a new computer just for realism in a game that breaks your legs with doors and heals them with a morphine injection?

You can get banned for placing markers on the in-game map? I don't think that's why you were banned, OP. I've done it a few times on accident when I started playing and I never got banned.

You know the reason DC'ing from combat isn't something an admin can ban for? Because proof is hard to get. You admitted to it. That's enough poof right there IMO.

I personally don't like any humanity detectors at all. If they way I assume they work is correct, murders = less humanity. But what if almost every murder you have on you is from someone who shot first, but didn't have the 5 kills necessary to become a bandit? If you don't want to become a bandit, would it be necessary to simply not kill anyone, regardless of whether or not they shot first? I just think the humanity meter doesn't take into account a lot of variables besides killing. It might encourage someone to kill another person who might have been friendly.
