If the number of zombies is going to stay the same the system used to spawn them in needs to change. There's no incentive for me to kill off 20 zombies to get into a town for a few supplies and then have to kill another 20 on my way out because they all respawned.
Man that article is pretty crap. I thought this described the game pretty well. http://crudepixel.com/2012/05/oh-my-dayz/ Maybe I'm just biased against kotaku nowadays though
Wouldn't making it so if you log off while you're bleeding you automatically die work? While it wouldn't stop everyone from logging off and "getting away" it would stop most people who have been shot or hit by a zombie. It's also something that seems easier to implement.
It's interesting reading about other peoples play styles, because I actually prefer to play at night. I feel more hidden and safer. Also isn't it harder for zombies to see you at night?
