Question about Journal

[klesh 2423]

Hi,

I have a question about humanity and the journal that was added recently. There are different levels of hero/bandit, with corresponding changes to the pages of the journal. There is also a playing card with your character on it. I presume the higher the humanity, the higher your playing card and the higher level of journal entry (with the pictures and drawings) you get.

My hero character currently has a deuce of hearts as my playing card and level 1 hero entry in the journal.

My stats are as follows:

182 days alive

333 zombies killed

297 headshots

0 murders

2 bandit kills

50,897 humanity

I found the above stats when I stumbled on a public hive server with the debug menu enabled (7.6.1)

I feel these stats are probably higher than most, so how come my card is so low and my journal entry is that of a level 1 hero. Alternatively, what stats do you have to achieve to get the higher entries?

Thanks!

That's probably because you had that ammount of humanity before the update.

p.s. - you really have survived 182 days?

[klesh 2423]

Yeah, I certainly did have most of that humanity before the update. Maybe that is the issue. I wonder if it will read properly when I die.

Yup, 182 and counting.

Its a great rush helping people who need anti-biotics and bloodbags now. I really feel like I've got a lot to lose, so each and every interaction is an exciting one. So much more fun (to me) than just shooting on site and dying 5 times per play session where your life and those of other players is meaningless.

What do other people have for playing cards?

In that screenshot you posted, how did you get that UI up? I would love to see the actual number of my humanity right now.

I hit the journal button (custom action #20 I think) on some random server I was playing on.

you make a good point sir, the more you have invested in you character, the more intense the game is. If you're happy to die five times in one session, you are not getting the full experience of dayz Edited June 29, 2013 by ToxicSludge

I'm guessing you have been afk for some time? You average less than 2 zombie kills a day.

[klesh 2423]

I played on private hive at Balota Buddies for a few months, yes. Additionally, I run from zombies more than shoot them, it's more quiet that way. ;)

The thread is more about the Journal though, and why it shows me as a level 1 hero. Can anyone with a level 2 hero status or above comment on what they have for a card and maybe a humanity # if they have a rough idea of where they're at?

The current journal is just a base system not all functions will be working yet. It's only a temp system while the new ui journal gets done and added.

The journal should be an inventory item that can be taken from a corpse, examined and kept like a trophy.

I imagine stumbling on someones private library of kills.

Right on. Thanks for the heads up!
