[updated] - Reduced local spawning zeds to 15(from 20) and nearby to 30(from 20). [Removed] - Flies have been removed id forgot all about the issue with cleanups :-(

Pretty much everything you do does.

We understand its an issue that has plagued the mod for along time something we just cant fix atm fingers crossed Hicks comes though with a fix from the bis guys the distance has been a real issue for a long time. the issue for us comes down too do we allow the extra .4 distance change and have the zombies have that chance to catch a player and take them down or do we remove the .4 change and make it so zombies are just plan crap and can be run around like little hamsters. (remote one can anyway atm) Its that change we are talking about the distance and time it takes the zed to stop and attack and the time it takes the player to move out of the way is .2. the only time we can get zombies below the 3 meter dead lock is during an animation the hope is we can get some help from bis devs to create a moving attack system allowing the zombies to get within 3 meters and still attack the player. We already have to cheat in many ways to get the zeds to stand pretty much instant as a player is within range and aggro-ed. the current system is run to player (3 meters is the closest they get) stop run attack. by the time they stop and attack your aready out of range due to all the extra checks we have now. In the old dayz the zombies just did an aoe dmg so once at 3 the player was damaged didn't matter what the zed was doing. But like everything its all the extra checks we have now that slow it down.

[Fixed] - Issues with missing var causing an error in 1.63.

[updated] - Damage scale lowered on normal zeds to 450 down from 600. [updated] - Damage scale from head hits reduced to *2 in place of *4. (head hits should be down to around 2500 from viral head shots).

[New] - Bleed chance from zombie attacks have been moved to configs (this will allow diffrent types of zeds to give bleed changes) - Normal - 15%, Viral - 30%, Wild - 10%

Your arguing about two systems one we haven't disagreed with you at all the 5k is heavy for the viral we are looking at this and if you read up a few posts you will see i have that as a concern. the 2nd is an issue we cant resolve we cant make the engine do something it cant do until we can get someone who can do animations with the arma 2 skeleton and gestures there is nothing we can do on this 3.6 is the most acceptable range for attacks. Anything less 3.2 and the players can inch out to a location that zombies cant do anything with they just stand still.

I raged about everything that's just me ask any musty or dev, Faco will also confirm that. Doesn't mean i don't listen the fact every patch we do shows you that as well as every hot-fix we do. Even your own comments above have proven that. The facts so far you asked for something i gave you the cod kiddy reply as a response in a closed channel (based on the vote we had, they agreed) that's me all over i don't have to be as official in a private channel (not that i am most of the time anyway). The stuff i just cant get my head around from the descriptions you have given. Your running to a ladder with a zombie in toe. (you know the zed is faster and will likely hurt you bad) (you know the arma 2 engine isn't the best on animations) But yet you choose to still try and use a ladder knowing the above. Id say that is pretty much a player mistake why use the ladder without first dealing with the issue in hand. Why put your self into that position. lose it or kill it first. Your fixing a vehicle you know it makes noise to fix the vehicle why not deal with the zombies before hand one player runs thought the town draw all ago another player sits 30 meters from the atv into the town to hold new zombie spawns. Both issues have been resolved without much more then a little thought. Without worrying issues that could arise from engine problems. Now the issue we have is to balance this so players can make a mistake but still feel they can make it and players who don't make mistake feel they are still challenged in every aspect they do. Every patch we release has had changes made to the zeds to try and bring them into a level playing field and you know this. We have a minimum threat level and a maximum threat level for the zombies we now have to change the number between these to find the balance this is one of the big reasons we have been moving stuff to configs. So we don't have to worry about code changes just balance changes on zeds also for the aspect to bring in new visual changes to help players notice what needs to be dealt with first. i'am an ass most of the time that is just me.

[Fixed] - Crossbow Flashlight not working.

He hasent yet no.

Range is an issue we are looking into the default system is .2 less then it was in 1.8 so i'm not 100% sure whats going on with that just now. The damage again is pretty close to 1.8 the big difference is the local attack speed and the removal of the body parts systems. So zombies can no longer hit you in the hands doing scale/6 its now you get hit and your hit full power this is the big change to attacks. zombie speed has not changed in anyway. Servers running modified code is also a big issue run the same code and lets get this stuff fixed. If we need to fix something lets get server side fix's out for everyone. in place of the 7 million types of mixed msgs giving out by all the servers. It's not like the dev team is hard to contact and you know very well we listen to info the problem will always come up as who is right the 50% that agree with you or the 50% that don't. I played on both your server, 410 and our own last night and they all had very different issues popping up. As an example your server players where shouting about zombies spawning behind them, but on 410 no one brought that issue up and we did ask more then once even after both servers where full. Its never going to be easy when all the servers feedback is different and when each server do custom changes the feedback we get becomes very mixed. And you know this from being in the testers group its mixed bag if reports.

Zed spawning is an issue read the changelog. no idea what zombies away is ? open field issues have always been there i guess you need to find a better way to deal with that

Everyone who wish's to leave feedback can they all know how to contact the dev team on here reddit, github, skype and alot of them do. However if you look around you will see many players have no idea what they wont and it goes to show with the millions of different versions we have. The biggest feedback i get are from the players i play with so they play how i do in most regards. If you wish to give feedback please do but some things will not change like speed the current zed speed will remain until we bring in new zeds then we will define them more as ive mentioned already. We aim to try new stuff and the truth we will never get it 100% correct all the time. We will bring some items players will love and others will hate we will never please everyone. Zombies are one of the items im afraid we will never get right but it wont stop us trying everything we can to improve them

There's no point keep bringing up the speed its not going to change as you very well know they are not zombies.

Forget the SD weapon find or craft the crossbow and make your own ammo

[updated] - Stringtable cleanup (been long overdue, With the removal of some of the red tape its nice to cleanup)

the max they can do in one hit is around 5k not 12000 :-) We are aware the dmg system is very high. With the new local attack system being much faster on the initial hit i am looking to bring the zombies dmg down a little more. However i am waiting to get more feed back on this. The guys i play with and have for the past 2 years all play in the same style we just don't run into towns we don't get caught in silly place's. 2 years of playing ive never been caught in a position the zeds hit me though walls maybe i know the map/buildings much better then most. As i say the more feedback i get the more i can judge how the zombies dmg needs to be but please keep in mind we do not plan to make them do 20 hits before you die. The game is meant to be unforgiving in every area possible your job is to survive and once you do it is rewarding. just like finding a water bottle so dam hard to find now :-). The quickest way we can get feedback on the dmg and attack system is to just release alot of the testers are the same guys i play with everyday. I do have to admit i have never been so afraid to enter a town but knowing how to enter a town can get you in and out without being caught once even in the big towns. Hopefully as we bring new zombies into the mix we can start to define each type of zombie much more allowing the players to have a visual aid to see what zombies need to be dealt with before any others. As it is now its very hard to see viral zeds compared to normal zeds. Viral zeds are the killers on a headshot they can do about 5k dmg in one hit

Other mods will be able to use what they like.

oh yea nice find let me pass that info on. Comrade drop me a pm on skype when your free

No worrys just waiting on the mass hate msgs about the zombies being too hard now :-)

DZC has just been updated.

We had issues with it last night Josh is looking into the issue atm.

That's good to know the zeds should be able to eat your faster lol.
