I'm fully aware that I'm an alpha tester. My point is that zombies need to work properly in order for the alpha to be ready to move on to 'beta'. They're an integral part of the experience, far too large to not be fixed in a reasonable timeframe.

God I hope the shotguns in this are better than the mod ones. Those shotguns were completely and totally useless.

I'm pretty sure fixing the zombies in a zombie survival game is "getting a necessary system implemented."

What I mean by this is make sure they don't no-clip through doors, hit you through walls, or other silly things. Since this isn't a mod alpha, but a game alpha, you need to prioritize fixing the major bugs like ghost zombies. That's what an alpha is all about.

ITT: Edgy teen kills people for lulz in DayZ like everyone else with a gun. What a special snowflake you are.

Server hopping is a direct spawn of the loot system and how it currently works. The loot system needs to be fixed and rebalanced to eliminate ghosting and server hopping.

To you, it might be. But to me, it means free loot that I don't have to trek my ass off for, and it means one less person near me who could kill me.

Nope. Every time I've been handcuffed and shot I've either been up north or a completely fresh spawn.

Because shooting them is faster and has less of a chance of YOU getting backstabbed once THEY get a gun or their friend comes along.

...lol Alright then, good luck.

The thing is, the people you took all the loot from may as well be dead anyway, since they're the equivalent of a fresh spawn now. Being robbed is essentially the same thing as being killed, and location isn't exactly a big deal since Balota is by far the best place to camp and server hop for loot.

I think skills are probably going to be inevitable. There needs to be a way to add more worth to a character than the loot on his back. As long as we stay away from 'shooting' skills, I'm fine with a skill system like being able to repair a car faster.

You realize of course these forums are an EXTREMELY small percentage of the people that play the game. You also realize I'm sure that the people who played the mod will play this. Guess what happened in the mod more than anything else, and was constantly complained about?

See how quickly you both get popped the second someone you rob tells his group about it.

Call me a murderer if you want. I call myself a survivor, because trusting people in this game has a far larger chance of getting you killed than anything else.
