UNDERWORLD

Ok so starting to get a bit annoyed with people moaning about being shot. I'm assuming that these people didn't play the mod so figured I'd let them in on a little secret.... ...ZOMBIES CHANGE EVERYTHING. Don't get me wrong, you still had bandits running about, but for me personally a majority of encounters weren't instant gunfights. Sure quite a few started nice then escalated, but the fact a gunshot in the towns/cities would mean a zombie orgy will hit you very quickly. Try to run, other zombies see and take chase. Any snipers now see a massive sign pointing at you saying SHOOT ME when you have a small horde chasing you. Zombies add a whole new level of player interaction because of this. Now the running through buidings trick won't work in the SA to slow them down, you could find yourself being trapped inside a house being munched. My point is, the addition of increased zombie numbers makes you weigh up your options a lot more. Suddenly taking out a bambi or a guy with say just a pistol has dangerous consequences. And by the way, I'm dead against bandit skins being implemented back in. For me, the excitement was not knowing where your next encounter is going. Sure it was a pain in the arse when somebody would deceive you and kill you....but that's DayZ! I find I only get annoyed when I die through a glitch rather than players these days.

I miss choppers. Rinsing crash sites at night was so easy, especially far north they'd be so easy to spot! Saying that, I loved the few times I went down large hills on a bike....especially since the brakes would never help! Nice casual country ride to stary was always fun =D I reckon boats should be put in first, and better ones than the mod. Maybe a few more little islands for camps, far enough to make swimming a real ballache.

Yeah, not every blow will make you bleed with better gear (unless it's a bug of some sort). Working on the techniquie me and f1ack suggested really improves your ability to fight these off with crap weapons

The trick is to act like a matador. Let them run at you, strafe and pull up on it's side. Hit with axe, repeat if needed. I rarely get hit and can kill zombies with the regular axe using this method

Guitar pick works fine for me ;)

You really missed the point mate!

ALPA hahahahaha

Ever been camping in the woods? Yeah it's pretty dark.

I know the feeling!

POLTERGEISTS.

10 minutes is more than enough, I'm in and out quick as possible....been killed too many times in the past being greey.

So me and a mate were raiding Elektro hospital for supplies and I see this guy running across the city making louds of noise. He comes running in and this happened..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbpIIzVf7tI&feature=youtu.be Nice to see a player making up the zombie count, first time come across someone roleplaying a zombie! Wanted to have some fun with him but was worried he was going to rush us (we'd just done a round trip to the airfield and didn't fancy losing our stuff)

I feel like I should point out we hunt bandits in cherno/elektro. I find killing newspawns fairly pointless since there's nothing to gain, however I've rushed players (with a bit of 'hard targeting'), knocked them out, taken their gun and killed them and didn't want to risk it here. He didn't half make me laugh though, actually think I encountered him again later on too after we found a guy sniping in a building (my mate got taken out in the battle unfortunately!)but the guy ran off when he saw me

I miss choppers. Really miss choppers. Still rather play SA just so I can move and shoot at the same time!

Probably me eating a rotten orange about 10 minutes before my first trip to NW airfield in SA, then dying. Thing is I done it on purpose to see what would happen, never again.

Sure, lets get rids of guns while we're at it, give them swords and make it a Lord of the Rings game. DERP.

Personally I kill armed but leave melee and unarmed alone. I don't mind giving a new player a hand though if I can't find any armed players to kill....but I think most of us has taken a few bambis out for sniping practice when you first get the long range scope =p Feel free to share your opinions!

It's interesting to see peoples choices, I was expecting kill on sight all round to be a lot higher though!

I wedge a guitar pick in mine =D

Only as a extremely rare spawn on a crash sight maybe, otherwise no.

Zombies encourage co-operation. i always thought twice about killing on the mod because you'd have a swarm on you within 10 seconds. I usually kos any armed player, but thats all there is to do once you're sorted gear wise.

Its odd, thursday last week I reset my router, desync got really bad until yesterday when I reset it again. Been fine since

Saline bag does work.. Tried it on a mate

More the better. Imagine they'll open up more spawns to spread it out, would be good too. I often shut off going through the countryside because it's highly unlikely I'll see anyone but more people about would keep me on my toes

I've not encountered any yet i don't think, been playing since day1. Must be pretty lucky
