The animations are how they are because the ARMA 2 skeleton is quite rigid and annoying to animate with, and at the moment I don't believe there is an animation artist in the mod team. There are zombies who are harder to kill, Viral zombies who also infect you at almost a 1:1 ratio. They die with 1 headshot like others, sure! but have 3 times the blood pool of average zombies (4K) as for more active zombies, Currently zombies only spawn around players and therefore can't be 'more active' than others, however I know that R4zor and co. are working on making server spawned zombies even when players are not near, which may incraese the activity of zombies some.

Rocket also said it would be out early July, get used to the release date being pushed back regularly. It happens with games all the time. As for DayZ Standalone taking too long, no, it hasn't taken too long. It's been like 2 years since the mod came out, lets say they've been working on the stand alone ever since, It's a massive map with LOTS of content, and a small team to make it. It's a miracle that the game is so close to alpha state. It takes some companies with more people 3 years to make an 8 hour single player campaign, so stop complaining and wait some more, or just move on.

If I find a tent, I make a note of the position, loot it first of any good items, then come back later with a friends 'old bike' and flatten it. Just so they can't use their tent/items any more. If I see a person who may be a threat to me (in my proximity but may not have spotted me) I either shoot to kill to save myself dying, or break their legs and run on to continue my loot rout. Checking for a corpse on my way back. If I get infected I just commit suicide rather than try to fight it for as long as I can, I often run back to my corpse before anyone finds it or give my items to a friend to look after.

Yeah, disgustingly optimized, even worse with DayZ, because it does things the ARMA engine never intended to do. I know people with varying states of computers getting sputtering FPS unless they change their settings to a magical combination, even then they need to do the SHIFT + - "flush" quite regularly otherwise their FPS drops to about 4. Mine did that the other day on the outskirts of Elektro and I agrod a few zombies in my disorientated state. ended up getting infect and losing all my gear because of laughable optimizations. :( But HEY! When the Stand Alone comes out it will certainly be better optimized than the mod!!

Are you some kind of hermit living off the rarely travelled path? Or do you refuse to raise your gun at someone even if they're shooting at you or are a threat to you?

Where* :3

Ah. Thanks mate.

Would you mind linking this interview please?

Why is your display picture or an MLP Pony then? And

I am yes, I'm currently camping a few threads I have an interest in.

There's that word again. Realism. In a world where zombies exist. Where weapons, food, drink, medicine, ammunition, vehicles and junk loot literally shits out into the world on regular intervals. Where a person dies, and is teleported through the means of magic to the coastline. Where you can fall through floors, break your legs on opening doors, bleed and go unconscious from dropping 3 feet off of a high kerb. Realism is not a word suited for this game. Authenticity is, but realism most certainly is not.

In my books stupid is naming yourself after a character in a cartoon aimed at 6 year old girls. Perhaps gutting a viral zed, the 'gore' repellent lasts for 10 minutes, The zombies can detect you if you are right next to them, or you are running. Walking, crouching and proning, though would think of you as being their kin due to the stench of death. This of course means you would need a knife and would still have to be somewhat tactical about how you kill the Viral zed in the first place, and how you go about shuffling through the zombie population.

Not to mention when you are crawling through... Lets say Elektro. So you're crawling through elektro not netting any agro, when you come to the pub, and you want to go in. When you get to the threshold of the door you stand up and start running instead of crawling indoors. This generally picks up unnecessary agro, which if you have no weapons spells the end of your life.

I'm sure calling Rocket Jesus - Something that doesn't exist, is more of an insult than calling him a rich black woman who gives shit away to her fans.

No. No it doesn't.

Have fun sugar tits.

That's not how you spell Diarrhoea in England, which guess what! I'm from England, shock horror! As for the rest of what ever you just sneezed onto the reply section. I'm a troll when the time is right, and getting banned on a forum? My life would certainly end if it were to happen. You have an heir of arrogance about you that I find to be both cute and pitiful at the same time, but by all means, stop 'feeding' me. I'm done with you anyway. Good day sir.

Baww, you seem mad. Tell me, how is suggesting someone to google "Games that don't hurt a childs brain to play" not rude? Not to mention the slew of verbal diarrhoea you just excreted from your fingers. Use me as your rage whore, because I guarantee you I will be laughing at how pathetic you are. ALL communities have cretinous piles of sputum like you, some have a larger number like League of Legends, some had less, I'm yet to find one with fewer twats, but I'm still looking. But feel free to rage at me. It won't hurt my feelings any because I assure you I've said worse just to piss people off on COD or LOL. Gimmie your best shot!

This just sums up the typicality of the rudeness amongst this community. Thanks for becoming the poster child in my eyes to it.

Not to mention the rude way in which they try to portray how the game is meant to be harsh and all that Spiel. This community isn't far off of the League of Legends community from what I've seen on this forum.

If I truly wanted serious, I wouldn't play a video game on a computer over the internet would I? That by definition is far from seriousness. As for COD, Stamina does matter because your guy stops running after 15 seconds from what I can only perceive as exhaustion. But why are you trying to compare COD to DayZ in any way shape or form? As far as I'm concerned bunny hopping to evade bad aimers, dolphin diving vast distances and sprint jumping like an Olympian is fun, not realistic. Realism can suck my testicles for all I care, as I previously said. Realism gets in the way of fun. End of.

All of my beans.

The second you have an infection you may as well just stand there, getting punched by zombies to keel over and die. Find your body again if you managed to loot anything before the infection molested you. the suggestion to trade, scavenge or kill for antibiotics is good, or it would be if the spawn rate on them wasn't a measly 2%. It literally took me 10 hours to find 1 antibiotic on an almost empty server. During that time I died 7 or so times due to the infection. The moral of the story is, right now the infection is just terrible, you get it? Commit suicide or get a friend to kill you, then run back to your body again. Try to avoid the Viral zombies (Their clothes are a shade darker than their 'normal' counter-parts and they have some blood on their faces and shirts). Cross your fingers that you don't get punched through walls or encounter 'no-clip' zombies who run literally through a building with their top half intruding from the floors. Move as slow as a 95 year old one legged woman with a Zimmer-frame to avoid zombies. Enter all possible buildings cautiously, look for item spawn outside (most commonly guarded by an idle zombie just sitting on the piles like it's their eggs). If you come across a player, scream "FRIENDLY" as often as you can in direct chat and hope they allow you passage without first shooting you. NEVER pick up a baseball bat. They do 899 blood damage per swing, it will literally damage you more than zombies. I would say use flares, empty cans and chem-lights to distract zombies, but as of late I've found that they do nothing. If a zombie does happen to catch a glimpse of the flair it will saunter to it. Look at it for no longer than 3 seconds, then shuffle back to its starting position.

Yeah. Because in a 260 square km map stopping every X ammount of time slots to catch your breath would be so much fun. Realism gets in the way of fun.

Despite what some may think, Infection is not always the cause of death. It's suicide after contraction of the infection.
