I wouldn't worry about the doctor too much, but I could be very wrong. Drink a little and get a buzz going on and see if your hand still shakes. Alcohol should reduce the effects of nervousness/fear/adrenaline/peeing yourself/screaming out loud because a zombie came out of nowhere and is eating your face/jumping out of your chair because you just got shot with an m107 out in the middle of nowhere. I think its just the game doing it. It doesn't happen to me all the time, sometimes I feel like I zone in and am super accurate in pvp, other times I even shake while trying to shoot zombies. This game is very intense, ive played it for nearly 2 months and just yesterday I was getting familar with an FN FAL and noticed myself shaking.

I have never had an issue with a headshot not killing the player/zombie that I can remember or noticed. Ive actually encountered the opposite where a shot that hit in the neck or high chest area was a one shot kill, maybe even some that appeared to hit the very top of the shoulder going into the neck. But I don't often play servers that give me desyncs either, I will switch if I see it come up frequently. Seen too many weird things happen in youtube videos about DayZ with the desyncs.

IMO you just need to develop the ability to quickly abort if hackers upset you, because you are going to deal with them, often. And what I mean exactly is to abort if you're susipiscous that someone is a hacker. Don't abort because you got outplayed and someone is going to legitimately kill you. Hackers often dress differently. There are only players with civilian clothing, camo cloths, or ghillie suits. There are only certain kinds of zombies. Learn what these are, if you see something different then get off the server. If you think the hacker is friendly and dare to stay on, then within a few minutes someone is going to upset the hacker or he will get bored and kill the entire server at once. If hackers don't upset you, then screw around with them and have fun before you die. If they do upset you, the only way to handle it is to switch servers. If you're playing with friends and they don't believe you and don't want to switch servers, then laugh at them when they all get taken out. And of course you won't always know when a hacker is about to kill you, they will get you eventually.

Am I banned from these servers? And how to dispute
porter653 posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
A lot of servers on my list have a red X by them, servers I could previously log into and played on quite a bit, and some of them I never recall logging into. Over half the servers on any given filtering I do show up with a red X by them, even some private hives ive never played on. The only thing I can figure is I did play with an AS50 TWS. I did not script it in, I looted it off a clan called ICU. They tend to clump together in the most obvious sniping spots on the coast and snipe fresh spawns. Me and my squad were killing them so frequently one night all 6 of us had AS50 TWS off of them, but they still kept coming back within 10 minutes to fight us again in Elektro with the same guns. Now nobody else in my squad has a red X by the servers i am mentioning, and can log into them normally. But I did definitely have the most success with mine, accounting for over 90 player kills on a lot of different servers, so I made the most noise with mine if that has anything to do with it. So I'm just wondering if its likely that I am banned from these servers and if there is any way to get it lifted, and how you would go about this? Obviously I won't be playing with or carrying an AS50 TWS again and I need to figure out the other weapons that are not legit. And I figure there's a chance im not banned at all and this is just some bug because this timed itself around me installing 1.7.2.6 pretty closely. And yes I have the latest arma 2 beta and 1.7.2.6 and some of the servers I am questioning are also fully updated same as me. -
Wipe it, good idea. I don't even have to go north anymore. Stay in Cherno/Elektro, camp an area you know snipers will log in looking to get cheap shots on a high pop server, loot their gear and you're good to go. Inevitably you will end up with an AS50, very often with the TWS thermal scope, and then their assault rifle of choice, usually a m4 cco sd or l85 aws, sometimes a mk48, etc. Its getting boring to be honest, a lot of the attraction of this game is finding the loot in its normal spawn areas.

I assume it is NOT suppose to reset on death. Your reputation should stay with you or else the whole idea of bandit/hero makes no sense if it resets on death. I have noticed when I die it shows it reset to zero, but after I kill somebody or a while after respawning it eventually shows my true humanity. Also I keep bugging out and switching in between bandit mask and regular clothes until my true humanity pops up.

.50 caliber rifles. At some point we need to have a serious talk about this.
porter653 replied to bazbake's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ill admit, I didn't read the entire thing. I thought you were referencing physics on small caliber weapons and applying it to something as ridiculous as a .50 bmg and I stopped reading. The sheer size of the bullet, regardless of speed, destroys human bodies. You can actually watch quite a few disturbing real military videos online and what .50's do to humans if you want to see them. I am not arguing that getting shot in the foot with a 50 will kill you everytime either, but until a game comes out with lifelike physics (none yet) we're going to have to settle for situations like this. Same with your ".50 wouldn't fit in a backpack statement". Games always sacrifice realism for playability. Also plenty of humans can fire 50's while standing. Is it suggested or is it what the gun is made for? No. In a zombie apocalypse with 1000's of AS50's laying around would a lot of people develop the ability? Yes. Again, quit criticizing the realism aspects, or we're all going to be stuck with revolvers and shotguns. If you made this entire post to QQ about the damage and effectiveness of the AS50, then you should have stayed on topic, your other points are BULLSHIT. I could easily make a case for most guns being unrealistic and at the top of my list would NOT be the AS50.
