I've been playing Dayz since it was first launched and I've been rarely killed by zombies since then. It only happened on 1 or 2 occasions, I am not kidding. Most of my deaths are from other players, glitches and bugs and re spawning. 45 caliber weapons are either way too effective against zombies or way too common in my opinion. All you need is a 45' side arm with a decent amount of mags for it and all of your zombie problems are solved. I personally voted for increasing damage vs. Players only. Although I've never fired a gun in real life before or killed someone but I don't believe you'll need to shoot someone 12 or 13 times with a pistol in order they die. Before 1.62 side arms were overpowered against zombies and balanced vs. players. Now they're balanced against zombies and useless against players.
I am not refuting any of your points. In matter of fact I agree with you. I just wanted to stress on the Non-PVP server idea. But personally I am all for buffing the zombies and buffing the starting gear a little bit. I don't care if it will be hard for fresh spawn, it should be that way tbh. Rifles should be a viable choice to fight hordes of zombies, not just your M1911. IMO -Zombies don't die from pistol fire to the body. The only way to kill a zombie with a pistol would be to shoot his head. -Rifles and other high calibers will kill a zombie with 2-3 shots to the body and 1 to the head.
All you need now is an M1911 or a revolver and zombies are no longer a threat. Zombies outside of building are overpowered Zombies inside of building are underpowered And Non-PVP servers are just dumb. Completely ruins the point of this mod. People will farm gear on Non-PVP server so they can hop on a PVP server and kill each other. Just like Runescape. I can imagine 20 or 30 players on a Non-PVP server all standing next to each other in the NW airfield looking at the loot pile waiting for it to spawn so they can grab a weapon.

And when "normal" people spawn? Great idea! These are acceptable losses in our war to save Dayz. We should band up. Any true Dayz patriot with a sniper rifle and is willing to fight for Dayz then head to the coast and fight for you favorite mod.
I am all for zombies being a lot harder. But they shouldn't cheat and zig zag with super human speed. All you need now is an M1911 or a revolver for zombie defense. Rarely primaries are used against zombies.

I am taking my AS50 and will go camp the coast. I will shoot every goddam new spawn I see. I'll spawn kill them and make their first experience with Dayz complete shit and hopefully they will leave the game.
His name is spartan 258 Check this video out, he spawns right behind the guy camping on the roof of the hospital, welds his axe and goes directly for the kill. He knew that guy was camping up here and he probably changed his location on another server and joined back to catch the guy off guard and kill him for his gear. This happened to me a couple of times already and lost lots of stuff from this and I was never able to get any of there names. I don't want this happening to anyone else.
