lol fix nothing in the game, fixing your crappy code is boring. make the stupid still warping and still immune to sneak strike zombies infect you immediately and sit on the loot in every building, great its a sneaking game now, and the zombies sit on what you need to survive. Fuck arrogance is fun to watch fail.

I am kind of amazed, I thought crafting would be things like blinds, spears, sling shots, molotov cocktails, nail bombs, IEDs, tire sandles, knives, travois, drop traps. Things you could possibly make yourself. Rifle scopes? two coke bottles and a steel pipe, really?

So true, there is so much more to Dayz, there is hacking(30% of the player base) and vehicle collecting(30% of the player base) and being powerful admins(30% of the player base) So 10% or so are playing a survival game.

Barns are way worse too

I assumed all the nonsense cans were to do with not having copyrighted names in the release product.

"Zed attraction this will draw zeds to lottier closer to players over time.) so they wont go outside 250 meters from player and they will head in your direction over time so the longer you sit messing the more zeds you will have within your area of agro range 80-120 meters." The worst part of the current mod, the Z keep spawning over time, and they tend to follow you even when they do not see you. And they spawn in the loot spawns and are so buggy they sit there. Yet you cannot shoot them, cause the whole flood will be on your head. Yet the inventory rules for the axe are way broken. I like the direction, but the inherent flakyness of Zs and inventory make it too aggressive.

Some nice adjustments I guess, but I think the zeds spawning on the loot and respawning so fast really wasnt tested by the community devs. they have to slow the zeds way way down for this new swarming, long armed, and axe immune zeds they have. I played for a few last night with a new char and new server, and I almost never got to axe kill a z without getting swatted. Every time I pulled the trigger on the axe, my guy would freeze, the zed would spin arround and get his free hit on me, then I would take my shot to kill him.

And the thrill of being hunted, without Pvp, there is no game here really

Played for about 4 hours on the new version in one sitting. Zombies, they cannot see better, but they hear better, they seem to hear axe strokes now and come to them. The winchester seems to really really attract them now. I found antibiotics in the first building i crawled into. The boil water seems to work find, but water from a well or resivour should already be clean. You should be able to drink with a water source and a can.... I found not a single hand gun in 4 hours. I never saw one crashed heli going from Electro, to the mid west, then accross through stary all the way back to the east coast near that big garage. Zombie behavior is fine, but the side effect of lots more swings through the sides of buildings and zeds walking right through walls is kind of lame. I did get killed half way through my journey by one swat from a long armed Z, but made it back from the wilderness to my body and carried on. I keep seeing dead zombies lying around. I like the upgrade, I wish I could sling my rifle and still carry the axe.
