The Mad Titan

Because its alpha that does mean they put out updates at the pace that they want to, they have no obligation to update at a frequency that makes most people happy.

They are working are more difficult problems, like server stability so they can add more dynamic items (loot, Zombies, animals). Also, wild animals, hunting, cooking and then cars. Stuff that takes a lot more time than weapons. Weapons aren't something they need to start adding, maybe that's what would make some testers happy. We are here to test the game.

There needs to be more ZOMBIES infected!!! I had a post a few weeks talking about how more ZOMBIES infected can fix many issues and make the game more fun in its early stage. Rocket post upcoming features on Dec. 20th and the first thing is "MORE ZOMBIES" (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/), but unfortunately it is a server issue that they are working out. It seems to be very important to the devs though, so that's a great sign. I do feel that, after playing for a few weeks, survival is easy in this game (at its current state). The only threat in DayZ is players.

The devs have come out and said that they haven't done any work on sounds yet. I have also noticed that eating is way loud.

This is a great idea, it has been mentioned a few times before. One problem is with lore, apparently this game doesn't have Zombies. The dictionary definition of Zombie is undead, but in this game the npcs are infected but alive. Another part is that apparently our characters are immune. I vote for a lore change! I want Zombies! There are many awesome things you can do with the npcs being zombies and nothing special if they are infected. Anything you can do with an infected you can do with a Zombie.

Either the people KOS or they want to rob you, I haven't seen anyone actually be friendly. I was on a NO KOS west-coast server last night and there was a big group of players they made me drop my weapon(a bat) get down on the ground, then told me to drop all of my clothes, they were all decked out in military gear and I had a badly damaged hoodie and badly damaged cargo pants and nothing else on me. They said to give up my hoodie and pants or they will shoot so I tried attack them and got shot. Then they found me again and did the same thing to my friend and I. These guys would approach you as friendly then rob you, after killing me I studied their habbits...I came back and killed 4 out nine in a huge gun fight. NO KOS was just a trick so that these guys could troll people, so they had to pay... In the next life I killed 5 of them and then a naked guy with a fireaxe jumped me while I was looting their bodies lol fun shit.

The thing about the m4 is there isn't much down time. More rounds per mag. Reloading is very quick. With accuracy, the less power from the M4 doesn't matter. Shoot single shots and prone with bipod for long range. When the target is at a far distance I can get it killed as fast or faster then the Mosin. With the Mosin you are vulnerable often, especially in a fire fight where you have to reload.

LOL!!!

Raging about dying and losing gear in this game is silly, especially since its alpha and you could die from something random. Besides, right now one of the most fun you can have is gear finding. Other than that there is only PvP and exploring the map.

honestly I like having good gear, but then I become much more cautious. Its fun and exciting, then I will go to populated areas like bolota and elektro and carefully hunt bandits and eventually get killed by a group. Once I come back with nothing, I love it! No worries I'm not scared to find another player and I run around without a care in the world...until I have a lot of good gear again and its starts all over. So really I like being gear and having nothing, they are just different.

I vote for random doors, I also want doors to make noise.

It happened to me, once with the revolver and once with the 45.

if you hate it so much then camp one of the military buildings and wait for people to log on inside it and kill them, its better loot and more fun.

It will be fixed! This is an early alpha so there maybe many things in the next year that aren't intended but are game breakers. Technically when you're testing a game there aren't any game breakers because you are here to test it.

antibiotics are hard on your system...

I like the idea of mushrooms too. Some thoughts: some can kill you after a while, some can just make you sick, and some can...make hallucinate!

I totally agree!

Neil Derasse Tyson is the fucking man!!! Yes I know that Zombies are not possible. Rage virus is unreal as well. I think that if everyone that died became a Zombie, then there is no hope. That is whats scary. Rage Virus, well just like in 28 Days Later, easily contained and quarantined. Then just wait a month, they starve to death, its all over. Only effects a small area, not scary.

And you still provide no argument, Saying, "no it isn't" and "yes it is" isn't arguing or debating. I am totally prepared for you to actually bring up specific movies, book, or comics. I don't think you'd bring up something I'm not aware of. There are dictionary definitions to words, if you use the word otherwise then you are incorrect. Its that simple. I do understand that it is hard for some people to not get mad on the internet when someone tries to correct them or provide a different opinion. Atleast you're willing to state your opinion.

I believe that there are many versions of Zombie, but they all share one common trait and that is undead human. Gameplay wise undead can have many more fun gameplay mechanics and infected are very limited. There isn't anything you can do with the Infected aspect that you can't do with Zombie, but there are many things you can do with a Zombie that doesn't fit in with being Infected. In the end this is a game and its in the devs best interest to do what makes a better game.

You're not getting it and you don't need to be rude. There are many different versions of Zombies and they are all undead. You can call anything you want Zombie but the correct use of the word is referring to the undead. I know what a ghoul is. They both follow almost exactly the same rules, undead and feed on human flesh. Although, the Ghoul isn't always something that was human, in many cases its a demon. Zombie is a human that dies and rises again undead. I never said anything about slow moving, slow moving isn't necessarily a Zombie trait e.g. Return of the Living Dead. Since there is something supernatural going on they can move fast. I do play the game and the easiest way to kill a Zombie is shooting it once in the foot, not the head. Don't be silly just to offend me. 28 Days Later was intended to be a slap in the face to hardcore Zombie fans.

I vote for Zombies, I would like to see more grotesque models for npcs and different gameplay mechanics that would be based off of them being Zombies. I would like to see, whether they are alive or undead, the easiest way to kill them be that you attack the head. If they took more damage to non-headshots then lore wise it could fit in with both Zombies or just infected.

Danny Boyle (creator of 28 Days Later) says, "I don’t like zombie movies. I never did. We took a genre and fucked with it." Danny wanted to break all the rules and still make you think that you're watching a Zombie movie, but you weren't. African definition is a dead person who is revived by a sorcerer... which is undead. Haitian version is an animated corpse raised by magical means...undead. All versions of Zombies are undead. Don't let Danny Boyle fool you, he doesn't like Zombies at all and has skewed the minds of Zombie fans and that's exactly what he intended to do, he even admits that.

won't happen if there is only 40 players max per server, you'll have over 40 people with their character on the same server and if you aren't one first 40 then you can't play. Besides there are many more creative ways to fix server hopping and such that would also improve other game mechanics.

You don't seem to understand what is being discussed. We are not debating over what a Zombie is, its about the npcs in this game. Currently they are NOT Zombies, they are alive and infected people. If they are Zombies there are many gameplay mechanics that can be added to the game that are more fun. Also, Zombies can have way cool looking models, e.g. rotting or dismembered etc. Gameplay mechanics could be, only headshots count and hitting anywhere else doesn't do damage. Player's bodies after dying become reanimated and start wondering around. Anything unlooted from the corpse would be on it, possibly making it a walking treasure. Have them lay dormant in a pool of blood or "play dead" after being knocked down only to surprise attack you if you're too close. The longer a Zombie has been starving the more aggressive they get, instead of an infected that would get weaker or die of starvation. There are many game play mechanics that can be added if they are Zombies, but if they are just infected all you have is them throwing fits, attacking you, and dying of starvation... boring and not as scary or cool.
