imo they need to make a serious zombies game for the SA. For example no matter where someone is if they fire a gun the should get swarmed hardcore by zombies. Even if your running down a dirt path in the woods you should have to worry about get swamped by zombies. I dont a competitive shooter, I want a hardcore zombies game and I think this is the missing link in the mod. Zombie games are my favorite kind of game. Ive played Killing Floor, Dead Island, CoD Zombies, Ledt 4 Dead and many more and it would go as far to say you couldnt even call DayZ a zombie game compared to some of these. But thing is this game would be awesome if it was really a game about SURVIVING A ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE. I mean best game of all time awesome. Im gonna be hugely disappointed if this game goes more of a PvP route. And even if it does the better make some serious hardcore zombies too.

Gameplay wise I believe zombies are going to be key in what can make this game and how much the game has to do with surviving in a Zombie apocolypse. Right now the only part zombies really play is giving away someones position. I think no matter where someone is if they fire a shot they should get swarmed hard, that would do a great deal it cutting down KoS in itself. They need to make this a serious zombies game.

Yeah I apologize for that. I visited the bmrf site, seen they gave loadouts for donations and assumed the zombies.nu server was the same. But yeah I played on the zombies.nu server and its by far the best server ive been on in a long time. Only down side is im on 130-150ms+ but I will take it considering my other options, especially when some of my vanilla servers are low (which is always). You need a team mate?

OP P2W is the biggest BS out there for anyone who doesnt wasnt to play a pure competitve shooter because when you start out with full miltary gear thats what this game becomes. Not only that it becomes a competitve shooter in which you have to pay extra in order to be competitve (of course good players can still be competitive but that doesnt negate the fact they are at a good sized disadvantage). The fact that a player can spawn in and go straight to a good sniping hill to start killing anyone they can and not even have to worry about dying because they can just do it again is what can ruin this game. And the fact that these people can pick thier spawn and make it back to you in 10 min or even less is another thing that can ruin this game.

I would say 80% of non vanilla servers are P2W. I check out every website for every server I think about joining and trust me I ignore 1000 vehicle servers or any seemingly "easy mode" server. This especially applies to Epoch but also to DayZ servers that are non vanilla.

Legal doesnt make something right. imo taking a game that people have already paid for then adding "perks" for "donations" in which people have to pay or either be at a sizable disadvantage is an exploitation. The people that profit from these servers dont give a sht about the game, they just make moany off of the influx of noobs coming into the game and want to take the easy road. And they are ruining the game for those who want play anything other than a purely competitve shooter.

Whinning in hear does do something. It lets the creators of the SA know what hardcore players dont in the game.

Im gonna go ahead and try out the zombies.nu server tho I will have 150ms or so. P2W pisses me off too. And you got to love when they say things like "Just because you pay doesnt mean you win". Yeah paying for starting loadouts does mean you win when you start out with M4A1 CCO, sit back on high traffic/looting areas and pick people off who are desperate for gear. Then you have a whole server of people like this and they are all gonna win there gun fights because chances are they are going up against someone unarmed or with a Winchester. And if they do die then who cares they spawn right back in fully loaded. Sorry for the rant lol.

Unless I want to play on 150ms+ then I have to worry about American servers. Its good if you didnt realize the American server was like that. But for future reference please specify to people which DayZero server your promoting so your not promoting a P2W server. Otherwise a sht load of people will go to the bmrf server.

Dude, no I am not wrong. Go to the website bmrf.me (US Dayzero server). $20 gets you an AKS or an M4A1. You can also get a PKP or an Sa-58 for like $25.

I dont think respawning zombies is a big deal, imo they need to respawn other wise areas will be to easy to clear. This will leave us with the simpilistic FPS we are with right now unless there are other factors to prevent this. I think having a reason to kill zombies isnt the big issue. It is in terms of the fact we are playing a survival zombie apocolypse and have no real reason to worry about zombies, so of course this needs fixed. But other than this I think its more like people need a reason to not KoS. Right now we dont even have to worry about loot because its so prevailent. We definately dont have to worry about zombies. So this leaves most players with one objective, KoS.

I half way agree and would say your half right. What I mean is imo the game itself is also largely at fault for the KoS problem. There is literally only two things people have to worry about on this game, loot and PvP situations. As for zombies they are easier to deal with than they used to be, and they werent even that bad to deal with in the first place. We need much harder zombies. Once someone is geared up what else are they gonna do? And these DayZ any noob can find an M14 (or any good gun) within 15 minutes of spawning. So really the only thing people have to worry about is PvP situations. This game has been simplified to a point that makes it competitive FPS rather than a Horror, Survival.

Lies my ass bro. Go to bmrf.me (the US Dayzero servers) and check out there donation loadouts. They arent as stacked as some servers are but if you really want to pay you an get a golden AKS. 20$ will get you a AKS-74 or M4A1. In Dayzero you spawn with weapons either way, in a Vanilla server you dont spawn with sht. So no its not close to vanilla.

Starting load outs are a problem when u kill someone in Elektro, they pick to spawn in elektro, run a few yards and snipe you with their DMR (CoD anyone?). Ans when people start with full loadouts there is no reason to play the game besides kill people (CoD anyone?). To me this is a huge problem (P2W). If someone starts off fully loaded then they just go straight and start killing people, what else are the gonna do. Might as well be another CoD or BF3. Any P2W server ive been on is predominately PvP, extreme PvP at that. There is already enough PvP no need to make more of a reason for it. Not only that but we pick our spawns now, so if some one who donates gets killed they can just pick there spawn and not worry about anything else but killing who killed them. This is just one step away from BF3 or CoD and is the totally wrong direction to go with this game. Its gonna ruin the game. Dont get me wrong, I play on PvP servers every now and then when I dont have time and I just want a quick game and maybe kill someone and I will even play the standalone if it goes in this direction but I would be disappointed because they could have made such a better game. If there is a P2W aspect in the standalone it will almost ruin it. Thats why I refuse to play on servers like that because the more people that play them the more the devs will notice this and implement it in the SA. We have enough competitive FPS'er as it is and thats not what im looking for in DayZ.

All the Dayzero servers i find with Dayzcommander are all ran by the same people. I went to their website to try to get "whitelisted" and seen the accept donation in return for starting loadouts. And there is a difference between a PvP server and a regular server. On a PvP server it is accepted by everyone that everyone KoS.

Why do people like Dayzero if its PvP and pay to win?

I agree. I think when people want to go to a big city like Cherno they need to be ready to fight CoD style zombies. And not the new running train BS, I mean old school WaW hold your ground or die. Then run when your done and have what you need and get outta town. You need to go in somewhere and get something you fight your way in and out. A few teammates fighting off hoardes while a few loot. I think this game would be awesome if you had 3 or so players and you needed to go to the supermarket and you had to make a plan to do so. Like one person take the front door , one take the side while one loots. And massive amounts of zombies the whole way. I dont know I could be way off, just some thoughts running through my head. It sounds awesome tho lol.

Every time Ive looted my body i thought "Hell yeah im glad I made it back to that sht" lol

100% vanilla and then some then lol. I cant say I totally disagree but as far as the direction Day Z seems to be going with bases, safes and etc it doesnt seem like that will happen. Anyway I do kind of see storing things in tents and etc a tad different. Someone being desperate enough to go back fo rthere own body isnt the same as aplayer who has stayed alive long enough to stash loot all ovr the place. And this gives people something to work for. And once again I do kind of agree with your opinion especially if we are going to have massive loot and self blood bags.

So what about the gear you have stashed away in a couple of tents? Isnt looting your recently killed body just as bad as looting your own stash of tents?

Definately wouldnt go that far. No matter where you die you more than likely have a 20+ minute treck back to your body so there is work that has to be put into it. I can agree that looting your own body was more legit before choosing spawns and spawning with gear. If your on a server and die then respwn in a random location your at least gonna have to put your arse on the line for a gun and likely some pop and beans to get back to your body. Definatley more difficult with no spawn gear at all and not choosing spawns.

The only gun I woud consider over an M14 is the Sa-58 CCO or possibly the M4A3 CCO but just becasue it looks awesome. That includes snipers, LMGs and everything else.

If the server has over 25-30 people I would consider that a sucide run yes. If there is that many peope on I would consider the western fire station (ie the one not by the power plant) a sucide zone as there is almost guarenteed to be a sniper on that hill. In all honesty if the sever is crowded I would generally stay out of Cherno, Elektro, Bolota and the Bolota Air Strip.

You have to be whitelisted on Dayzero but more than anything else you can donate for good starting loadouts ie pay to win.

The main reason I like Epoch is self blood bags. There are some Epoch servers that are just about like Vanilla servers other than bases, traders and sbbags.
