An entire team was just now dedicated.. after adding tons of clothes and making things paintable. My point was perhaps missed I think.. Yes, its in the early stages of dev. But it has been for well over a year. Not just since December when the early release alpha came out. My point was why not the fine tuned focus on Zeds BEFORE now?

:facepalm:

No exp. servers up currently for me.. just one server with Rocket in it, trying out his new bow and arrow.

Well... so much for me thinking this was a topic about the meaning of life.. or why Zombies are not the main focus in game like Dayz? ..or why BIS would not put most of their team on Dayz after it continues to be their cash cow? ....or why Rocket is even still working on this game?

Took all of the words right out of my mouth.. or fingers in this case. The only problem with server hopping is that others are affected. If no one was affected, I know that a lot of players would still be upset about server hopping. But that is just a waste of time.. It really is. Server hoppers put themselves at great risk, constantly spawning in and not knowing if perhaps someone is already within earshot of their "reload" sound. Their entire concept is fundamentally flawed.. thinking that respawning in to new servers is better than just exploring the map and finding loot that way. They are the one group that EVERYONE loves to hunt and kill. And last but not least, the reason why they are good for Dayz.... they are basically just pinatas. Waiting to be whacked, and spill all their candy on the floor..

Ummmmm.... that is exactly what I said. Please focus on reading comprehension. Thank you! :P

You got that joke did ya'? LOL.. just messing with you man ;)

Yes, my eyes are.. deeply.

Amen, brother.. preach on! while I finish this bowl.

Best fucking day job a non-combatant can have.. rah!

Now all we need is Hueys. ;)

I personally dont consider them risky. I often comment based on what's being posted in the forums.. and if/when you join the party late it looks like I personally have these feelings as the "joke"/point becomes a tad bit lost. I feel the zombies are broken if anything. I wouldn't say risky.. you just run away from them if you feel its getting risky. I remember playing through several patches for zeds in the mods that were FAR more of an issue as far as risks are involved and I did just fine there too... always run away if all else fails. When it really comes down to my personal thoughts on this patch is that I remember watching very early pre-pre-pre alpha footage of the zed tracking and pathfinding having been fixed. It was not perfect, but it looked so good. What we have now is nowhere near what I saw back then. I have to wonder why, in a game like Dayz, you would not immediately focus on the zombies in the early stages of development?

If the zeds are already aggroed on him, he is dead if he goes down. Any that are aggroed on you, will not stop for a player on the ground, regardless of what condition he is in.

Jesus looks upset over this information... fyi

This story makes me want to kill people less... I mean Im not going to change my whole way of playing, but I really could stand to do more of what I did in one of my last encounters. I told him I intended to kill him, and that he should get ready to defend himself. Some tense minutes pass, and in the end I walked away and let him go on with his looting simply because he asked me to. It felt just as good as a tense firefight.. to have talked to him, and both parted ways alive. But now Im left with the fear that if in the end I find less and less players willing to engage in battle, I will grow bored of this game that has sucked countless hours from my life. Throughout the mods and this standalone.. the whole time I had a smile on my face. I hope that smile does not fade :)

I figured man.. Ill try to get off my ass in the morning and will link some stuff for you in this post

Can you watch videos right now? Or just read text? I can link some good vids of things going down on the coast, but am just admittedly too damn lazy to type anything out right now..

I know.. so shocked too :)

Allow me to be the first to say: ALPHA ;)

LOL.. priceless! I like you, I knew I did.. but now I know it :D

wait.... u just murdered your friend? Please tell us more :P

You made me smile with your intelligent, informative, and on-topic post! Thank you :) ...honestly.

Reported. Nah.. Im just facking with you ;)

First, thank you for your service. Second, you are not really missing too much brother.. as not many can even get into the game to try this patch out. But tomorrow, a fux.. I mean fix is supposed to be inbound. As for how this game is going, its got a long road ahead of it.. a lot of promise that it will be quite different than the mods. Not sure how exactly that will pan out in the end, but hopefully its good. Also, lastly.. You should know this patch has thrown the forum a little off. I would not expect too many positive responses from your OP thread here.. I hope I am incorrect, but I would not exactly count on it tonight. Stay safe out there, where ever you are.. Head down, eyes up type stuff. ;)
