Sounds awesome, would love to help out, I play mainly through UK afternoon/nights.

NO. Renders new players defenseless against bandits.

YES. But. Largely pointless, most bandits sit in a bush with a sniper rifle hundreds of meters away.

If it is meant to be personal temperature, its poorly thought out and little more than one more number to annoy you.

I never mentioned that I was particularly good. I just said that I could do it, not that others cant, sniping isn't hard, and given that I could sit in a bush a mile away from a town and shoot people who are in said town, surrounded by zombies, I'm pretty sure we know who has the easier deal right there. If you choose the right kind of tree/bush to lay in people can, and do, walk right past you without noticing. I never said all parties were in dense woodland, only the shooter. "Bandits" have it easier because they can just lie in wait outside a town, they don't have to move at all or put themselves at risk. If they aren't sure they can defeat a individual/group, then who cares, they can just let them pass. Defensive snipers, which most "bandits" are ("defending" a hangar for instance), do have the advantage and that's why they are so feared in reality as well as many videogames. The "bandits" that I know of are basically "campers". People complain about this playstyle's effectiveness enough in your standard FPS, throw in permadeath, extreme map sizes and a countryside setting and it becomes even more powerful. I understand that DayZ is going for a harsh reality feel but it is still a game (or mod for one, whatever) and games need to be at least remotely "fair" and give all reasonable playstyles a fair chance. By the way, if you're the kind of bandit/group of bandits that doesnt just randomly snipe people from a day away, I have no big issues with you.

Yeah guys just use flares, did you know you can even pick them up and carry them, its like carrying a really powerful lantern! *Loads sniper rifle* Seriously, flares?

Yeah I too am waiting for the ability to remove all clothes and r...oh nevermind.

Its L by default to operate the flashlight, but for gods sake don't even think of using it, or a flare, or a chemlight.
