+1 for thread ideas, and an additional plus for people using the search function.

I'd like to throw up an idea for you guys, not because I think this is the best suggestion ever or even that it should be implemented in the game, but because I'd like to see how it affects you and what improvements or derivations you can come up with. Tell me it sucks, by all means, but tell me specific reasons WHY it sucks. Idea: -Insane hard-to-hit zombie speed is reduced significantly. Zombies now move slower but spawn in larger numbers. - Additionally, any hit from a zombie has a percentage chance to infect the target with the zombie virus, as in the old zombie movies. - Once a survivor is infected, he has a limited amount of real-world time before he keels over and transforms into a zombie NPC. The zombie NPC must be killed to access its gear, but its pack may be stealth looted as a player's can. The zombie behaves like a normal zombie for all intents and purposes except for the loot it holds. - A survivor will know he's been infected (bitten, if you will) via a HUD icon. Obviously, I know that this idea doesn't quite jive with the current direction rocket is headed in, and obviously I can see some balance issues with trying to figure out all these chances and stats, but I want to hear what you think about this anyway. I'm hoping a change like this would make zombies less about twitch-blasting and more about bullet saving, with an emphasis placed on not getting boxed in by the horde, instead of running up staircases and killing an entire city's zombies in a mag.

Better than shooting off site; at least your victims get worker's comp. If you feel guilty about it, don't do it. If your aren't willing to stop doing it, there isn't much point in feeling guilty.

Helicopter crash sites spawn loot only when they first appear. I have tested this many times, leaving halfway across the map and back. Zombies respawn though.

Notice how the first was a response to the statement you made. The second was a response to the statement you were going make. Spooky...

Knowledge alone is meaningless; it is only when you act upon it that it becomes real.

Entertaining diary. Hope you get better at avoiding them Zs, OP. Broken bones are being looked at, but free constant global side chat is gone for good.

Vaulting could work.

Thanks for the update. Good to see this fix in.

You broke the first rule of Day Z; you got attached to your gear. Rocket has already stated he's well aware of this issue and is working on fixing it. For now, it's an alpha, and that means things get fixed when they get fixed. If you don't want to play a broken, buggy game with incomplete or contradictory mechanics, consider leaving and coming back when the game hits beta or release.

^^^ This is my incredulous face. I am extremely incredulous right now.

How has nobody rated this thread yet? *1-stars* Sheesh Day Z forumers, I expected better of you; it's been 6 pages already.

Someone didn't do the tutorials.

If so, I'm not here to hate on you for playing how you play. I'd just like to know what gun you were using to snipe us, and if you feel comfortable with it, how you found out about us and how you executed the raid.

Dis is good. I look forward to the results.

Now THIS is good old fashioned trolling, the kind we used to have before people started throwing that word around like it was trash. Playing off of people's misconceptions to catch them off guard with a refreshing change of pace, satirizing the current social norms with a stylish twist. Bravo OP, and congrats on the kids!

This is already the case. The zombies leave the beans in their houses though, because they don't want to carry them around all day and slow down their shambling.

Just in case this horse hasn't been beaten to death yet, here's an error level analysis of that image. Notice that aside from the straight, bright, machine-generated elements of the HUD and chat, the only thing that lights up is the tiger. http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1141/canvastmf.png You can do an independent analysis if you want to verify.

The thing about the ps90 is it's not very quiet, it's not very strong (weaker than most guns), and about the only thing it has going for it is that it doesn't take up much backpack space. That's really the function of a side-arm (which has the added benefit of an exclusive section of the inventory for its own ammo), not a primary. Its semi-auto only mode makes it effectively a second pistol, in my opinion. The p90 is a better all-around gun with a good clip size and a variety of attachments and alt-fire modes to keep it adaptable. I'm still not sure about the whole backpack space thing, but it looks very solid in general. Plus, I sort of have a soft spot for p90s.

Oh, so instead of reading all the OTHER threads about these topics, rocket needs to come read YOUR thread specifically, because it's so much better than everyone else's? The sense of entitlement in this title is killing me. Learn some humility and tact.
