Adding body temperature seems lame. There's a point where gameplay starts to suffer because of realism. I haven't tried it though, so maybe it won't be so bad.
I just played some and I don't like body temperature as it has been implemented. Running and jogging should increase body temperature, but it doesn't. Did they implement coats/jackets for us? I don't think they did. And not all indoor areas keep you warm. I went into a shack and, well, no warmth. Shocker!! And you cool off quickly.
The runner zombies still dart back & forth in a very unnatural and very difficult way to shoot when they are coming at you, also.

I logged in a few nights ago and it was pitch black in the game. I ended up logging out because I couldn't see worth shit. I'm hoping there's some sort of moon cycle in the game and that's why I couldn't see.
There is a moon cycle, I believe. Alternatively, you can increase the game brightness and gamma in video settings to see at night. I don't consider it a cheat/exploit since our eyes adjust similarly at night anyway.

Ah, thanks. So if a regular human opens fire first, and you kill them (with some sharp-shooting skills) does that decrease your humanity? Have I got that right?
No. If they shoot and hit you first you can kill them and not lose any humanity. That is how I understand it and how I've seen it played out. |

Amazon still has for $15 I wonder if that would work for somebody in Britland? If so then it's half as expensive as the cheapest one I can find here. |

Actually, humanity is being removed:
As the title said, the Bandit/Survivor morphing will be removed. You will find skins around the world, that you can wear if you choose. Humanity will be retained for an undisclosed purpose.
Because humanity is the feature DayZ deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll remove bandit transitions, because its not helping. Because its not a good feature. Humanity remains as a silent guardian, watchful protector. An ... unfinished feature.

I have a question for you Day Z players. I was watching some YouTube videos with Day Z gameplay on and there's a question which stands out to me: How do you gain humanity?
It seems to fall quite quickly, even if you shoot in self-defence, so how do you gain it and prevent yourself becoming just another bandit?
Humanity is gained by killing zombies, healing other players (via bandages or blood transfusions), killing bandits, and will gradually go up as time goes on the longer you stay alive and not shoot other survivors.
Ah, thanks. So if a regular human opens fire first, and you kill them (with some sharp-shooting skills) does that decrease your humanity? Have I got that right?
Also, how does the fall of humanity compare with the rise of humanity? If I were to kill a human in self-defence and lose humanity, how much of the other things would I have to do in order to get my humanity back?
I'm a stickler for details me. |

Sadly, this seems like a step in the wrong direction. Some of the changes - nerfing the Winchester, using stuff in your inventory - are fine, but the infection and temperature stuff is pretty weak. 75% of the map is covered in trees, but the only way to "find" wood for fires is from houses/barns. And what exactly is temperature adding to the game in the first place? Just another reason to shoot-on-sight, since infection can be spread to other survivors. This game needs incentives to not shoot everyone you meet, or it just because PvP with zombies.
So...are you not Down With the Sickness?

Is it as clunky as the videos appear? It looks really poorly animated and stiff, the controls seem a bit wonky unless the people I've been watching are just silly and so on. I like the idea of it but the execution seems a bit...off and vanilla Arma was buggy as shit.
Yes, the entire game is like that. Stuff like that is overlookable/forgiveable... not being able to play the game at all is not. |

I absolutely LOVE the concept of this mod, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
The immersion is completely severed by the utterly shit animations (especially the turbo-mode zombies) and the fact that pretty much everybody looks the same.
I could whip up better animations in a half hour, and I hate animating.
Plus, re-skinning the same player model 4 times to look completely different is rather easy. Like, really easy.
As I said though, I love the concept, and hope that this becomes something great.
Yes, I know it's alpha. Still no excuse for horrible animations and lack of player skin/model variety. |

100% agreed. Right now the mod is only a public alpha test. It's a lot of fun if you remember not to get attached to any features or playstyles. There's little difference between this and the early days of Counter Strike and Day of Defeat.
Fired up Arma 2 and Opp Arrowhead to refam myself with the game, then goign to fire up Day Z today. |
