I love how hard the Z's are and I'm cool with the lack of food, but.... I've read in some disbelief how some folk on here are getting a kick out of gardening, fishing or making a stone knife because it so "real man","It's a survival sim dude, check out my rabbit skin underpants" etc. DayZ is a post-apocalyptic game with zombies. Yeah I know people jump up and down and say infected but we all know that they are basically zombies. See the name DayZeee and look at the logo. I don't want a game where I have to plant seeds and sh*t. I have a garden in real life with vegetables in it it's very boring. I don't have zombies trying to break in my house and eat my brains in real life. See the difference? If you force people into a crafting game just so some people think they are HC or something, (it's a game ffs) then it's going to get dull very quickly. What makes this game and made the mod great was strong, fast zombies and psycho kos players, not going fishing ffs. This is Survival (yes I've got that) horror game not farmville.

The new zombies/infected are just complete class I love them. The best since I played the mod. Just great.

So I have to give up a game because some of you lot want to play Captain Caveman?

Yes it was a childish rant and it was posted in caps but the guy who bought the early access was telling us about his experience of the game. I really hate it when mods erase posts on forums because they are controversial. I replied to the post that I found it odd that all the food and been replaced by military berets, ammo and books. I mean that's hardly realistic is it? Also drinking a fair amount hardly reduced my "I'm thirsty". The game has a real fundamental issue as to what it is. A realistic zombie survival game or just a plain survival sim? I think most people would rather wack zombies, (infected) in the head with an axe than plant seeds in a garden. I know it has been marketed as a survival sim but the only reason we all came here was because of the zombies right?

yeah but they are infected humans. If you hit someone with a big axe even if they are on pcp, etc, you'll incapacitate them with 3 hits surely?

Yeah but I wonder if this level of immersion will kill the game apart from the hardcore? I don't think "Wow when I get home from work I can't wait to plant some seeds" I think "wow when I get home from work I want to kill Z's and fight other players". I love how difficult it is but I play it becase I want to fight zombies.

yeah I get ur point, but a tidied up version of the OP's post actually had some valid points.

I hate the grey screen. When I smashed up my arm and bleed a lot mountain biking I had to carry myself and the bike out the park to get to an ambulance. By the time I did i'd lost a fair amount of blood and was in severe pain. My vision never went"grey" .

This is going to be really interesting as I've not used stealth since I played the mod.

that's not strictly true. Both times they followed me in to a building I thought it was another player so they do make sound. You can't hit, move and hit again anymore as it seems their lunge has gone. With an axe it took me about 8 hits to take them down and I got hit often.

I'm glad that it's still around. Don't be so precious Tatanko I wasn't offended or disturbed by it and if you are then you've got issues.

I'm actually seeing more friendly players than I used too but I am picking the higher pop servers these days. Most are sort of low to mid range geared so seemingly less likely to get p*ssed off if they get killed. Still lots of annoying noobs though on the coast.

Yeah done everything. It's just one of those things. Even in 3PP if I'm running around inside two or three apartment blocks can do it. Most 1PP do it for me. In fact DayZ is a little better than a lot I've palyed. The worst were the Sherlock Holmes and Call of Cthulhu games without any HUD I'd last about 10 minutes. DayZ I can last about an hour. There is a large number of the gaming population effected by this condition.

The mod. First time I logged on. Spawned in complete darkness at I think Elektro docks. Everytime I switched on my torch you'd get a hopper or crawler pass by, not close enough to react but close enough to be scary as sh*t. I spent 30 minutes lying in a shed, listening to two infected move around outside. Eventually got kiled. Went to make a coffee and got completely unnerved looking out of the kitchen window into the darkness at 03:00 in the morning.

Nah those ancient aliens first visited us to help the Egyptians build the Pyramids, you know when DayZ was still in Alpha? They've come back to check on the games progress. Just ask this guy.

Ov cuse qwe do

Urgh new spawns begging to be killed, cuse they've spawned in a looted area.

Look there is a sizable amount of people that CAN'T PLAY 1PP DUE TO MOTION SICKNESS! Why should we be punished for something thing we have no control over? I played 1pp three or four times and each time eventually I've been so incapacitated by nausea it's basically runied my whole day, it can take that long to get over it. Not all of us bugger about in dresses hitting each other with brooms. I too hate the fact that even on a full server nobody goes past Berezino. or Zelenogorsk. Change the spawn points, tweek the loot spawns. keep the 1pp only servers for those that can hack it.

When I put an old pristine compass in my toolbar and press it this screen does not show has something changed whilst I've been away?

So I can't find my usual server on my favorites and pick a random public server. Anyway off I go into the the doctors office/restaurant and I notice a fair amount of loot lying around. OK not played any other servers for ages I'm just thinking I've been lucky. I go to the supermarket and the shelves are packed I pick up some rounds and few bits and bobs but it's clear there is too much loot. I'm thinking maybe the folk who run the servers can change how much loot they can have spawn? The loot was usual not all of it pristine just a lot of it. Anyhow making it this easy is not my up of tea so off I go and find my normal sever. I play for a few minutes then my character is reset and an admin has been informed. So did I visit a server with duped gear? I've no experience of running a server or hacking/duping etc only what I read on here.Did this cause my character to be reset? Not that fussed as I loose interest when I get close to being fully geared. Still it's been awhile since I've had a mosin with a scope....

Yeah I still pop into the game now and then, I think I'll stick around for a little while this time as I've gone from being a complete Lone Wolf to hanging out on the coast, which is more fun.

So what do people think?

I can't even get to the compass screen even with a pristine one. Anyone else having this issue?

It;s a wee bit easy. Due to where I live I spawned onto a low pop server near somewhere I suspect is the northeast. In about 2 minutes I'd found a hard hat, x2 raincoats, a crowbar, x2 tins of sardines and a jacket and a flaregun. That used to take me about an hour or so. On high pop servers it would have taken me a couple hours. has the game got easier?

should not result in a broken leg. Even in my mid forties and being temporarily out of shape if I jumped off something that was two meters high I would not break my leg.
