- Humanity increase over time reinstated - Back when the server was quiet I removed the humanity gain over time unless a play had less than -50k humanity. This was because the rate of increase was so high even bandits had trouble keeping their bandit status. Those low player count days are long gone and I have added the gain back in. However it is at one third the rate of normal dayz.


for everyone? or just the people under 50k? cuz man, we 100k'ers were getting jipped HARD!!


its back for everyone, same rate of increase for all (1 third of the old level currently)

I dislike the idea of Bandits regaining Humanity over time, especially on a server filled with them. As a Hero, it sucks that I can lose humanity for defending myself against someone who is clearly a Bandit but just doesn't get kills that often. Even more so as this server is very PvP-intensive and everyone just shoots-on-sight/KoS.

It's not a big increment and hardly a big gain for someone with humanity at my level. I would need to not shoot someone for like 500 hours of gameplay to get to hero.

It does however help people who are friendly like yourself but have lost humanity to kills they couldn't avoid regain it. Also you should never lose humanity for killing a bandit in dayz, you gain it. Its just a bug in the game that means if they have any skin on other than the bandit skin it counts as a survivor kill.

being that we can now write to the database, we could fix this right?

on kill, get the victims current humanity, set as $victim_humanity;

if($victim_humanity < '0')
{
#update database and set correct humanity +/- accordingly for the killer
}

using some case statements or elseif's, we could also give bonus negative humanity when you kill someone with really high humanity, and vice versa...if you kill a bandit with -100k you get a sick boost in humanity.

I like the sound of that haha :D but i suppose it would be a positive boost for killing someone with that humanity.

Would this also mean that the constant soldier camo would be available to players again if they reach a certain Humanity level? as i thought that was removed due to the humanity not being drained.

Custom databse statements are easy on paper but more complicated when you look at the syntax of the way you have to interact with the @Hive dll, I need to get more practice in with that before I can do that sort of thing. But you don't need a db query to see humanity anyway.

I've actually been looking for the dev build of the new patch to see their fix and if I can port it, essentially yes you just take humanity into account when the change is made rather than player model. That in itself relies on the information the clientside function is passing that particular piece of code on the server though. But it is indeed something I think I can probably have fixed before the next patch.

It's gonna suck for us bandits though, lots of people on the server are bandits so most kills would yield a +2000 gain....

Also forgot to say

- Custom Loadouts for Highest/Lowest Humanity Automated - We've had this in place a while manually but we have now automated it. Previously just the lowest and highest got a loadout. Now it is the Lowest 3 and the highest 3 humanity (excluding me as I have a rocket skin on spawn).

Highest humanity - MP5SD, extra bandage + 2 bloodbags.
Lowest 3 humanity - Machete, soldier skin.

You need to have been active within the last 14 days to receive the loadout.

Lowest 3 Are (excluding me)

Name: Bernard - Humanity: -147578
Name: Omen - Humanity: -135152
Name: Sirus - Humanity: -73636

Highest 3 Are

Name: AdjustedJunk - Humanity: 16565
Name: Dilly - Humanity: 8700
Name: Mads - Humanity: 4820

Glitching humanity will get you a perma ban without any warning. I now have a system in place to monitor time played in relation to humanity gain and loss, I won't care about your excuse I am already well aware of the humanity bugs.

I haven't too much of a problem with infections. I just feel that the knockdown is incredibly overpowered with the combinations of more powerful zombies, higher infection rates, and the retarded agro.

Really had some fun with Eby earlier today. Had no bandages, ended up on about 1K blood or so. Eby was the only guy with matches so I hunted while he cooked. We bagged 2 pigs, 1 cow and a sheep on our way to Polana in order to get me topped off again. As we moved up to the store Eby spotted a single zombie agroing in to the shop. He pushes up closer to the shop (with only 10 AKM rounds) since he only spots one guy. I go prone with my CZ, spot a bandit with a DMR on the other side of the shop, take him out, have to sprint away because of the zombies, Eby deals with the other. Ended up being more happy about the Antibiotics, food and a box of matches, and finally a backpack, more than the DMR.

Everything just felt a bit more "real". I really like that it encourages hunting and living in the wild along with ammo conservation. Haven't had such rewarding kills in a while.
I think once you get past the god awful starting phase the game only needs a couple of tweaks like fixing knockdown. Still yet to loot an airfield though. Thats gonna be a bitch.
