Lol OP.. wow What exactly do you think the point of the game is huh? It's whatever the player wants it to be - Which is why the mod is so incredibly popular. If you can't handle PvP and perma death go play something easier.

..Did anyone actually find this funny? At all? I didn't. Awkward :|

Exactly what the title says. It's too easy to just jump into a supermarket/building around the map and have enough of both to last you 6+ hours.. it's way too easy. Make people rely on hunting animals more and make sodas much more rare than they currently are and make empty canteens slightly more common, so people have to find water sources and refill instead of just living off soda. Thoughts?

Would make the ghillie completely useless if they added backpacks to it imo.

I can't find this on armaholic or kotaku. Link? EDIT: My bad, I didn't look hard enough - http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=16786

We've only had one encounter which was the one I just detailed and they lost two people where we lost one.. and they had two vehicles(Which must be rather filled with bullet holes now)/twice as many people as us :P Annnd of course there is the rangefinders/nvgs/thermal scopes they had lol But hey if that's losing, guess we lost!

...Was the bike okay?

That's weird that all 3 of you have this issue, me and the group of people I play with have never encountered this and we quite regularly pull lots of zeds to clear them out.

You should only really use Six updater for updating and then launch the game from another launcher/Steam. The server browser built into it is terrible in my experience

I love the new patch :) The game was way too easy before.

I can't seem to see any 1.7.1.4 ANZ servers at all. I know ausarma was having some issues with their servers today but now I can't see a single one, even those hosted by other people. Is this for everyone or just me?

Thanks man, I did see that thread but I thought he was only talking about ausarma servers. I had seen some ANZ 1.7.1.4 servers just a couple of hours ago though is the thing, after the ausarma ones disappeared but now they have followed ausarma and have completely disappeared.. weird :\

Lol settle little buddy!

Sneaking is still being tweaked. You guys act like he said "1.7.1.4 is the final revision for sneak and this is how it stays forever"

I do sort of agree with you on that, the pathfinding can be enraging at times when they zig zag precisely at the moment you fire and you miss them completely.. pretty annoying.

Are you aware you can throw things like tin cans to distract zombies and make them walk outside so you don't have to engage them?

Not sure if serious..

For me, the zombies are there to get in the way of the PvP. I like that. If you aggro when you don't want to, then you'll give away your position. If you are forced to fire your gun to kill a zombie, then suddenly every group within ear-shot is on the alert suddenly. Now, you can't do anything BUT reveal your location. I honestly think zombies were fine before, I didn't think they were hard but it was never about them being too easy, it was about dealing with them when needed in a way that best suited the PvP. Unfortunately now PvP is almost entirely gone because whilst your trying to get into a town and aggro every zombie there, forcing yourself to fire your weapon, you're pretty much done in terms of stealth. We've killed so many players because they were being chased by zombies, most of the time we only killed them for shits and giggles. If zombies were even harder, it would just be annoying and I, personally, would stop playing along with quite a large number of people, mostly because I don't want the killing of zombies to be the main focus, I want to be able to dodge them and deal with them without having to run 28 weeks style after every gun shot. You can't talk for other people. You don't know they will stop playing if zombies are made more difficult. Lets be clear as I've said in the thread earlier - I'm not saying zombies should detect you easier. I think they should detect you how they used to, where you could sneak past them as long as you are careful. From what I am hearing, it is now almost impossible to do that due to buggy Line of sight and detection issues which are still being tweaked. I just want them to be a threat once you have pissed them off. They should hit harder, be able to hit you while running and be absolutely ruthless.. you should want to avoid them instead of just playing DayZ the shooting gallery every time before you want to loot stuff/engage in PvP
