I enjoy this update .. because every update adds stuff ... the game is still fun and I played it for several hours with my friend the other day ... not to be the usual rage boner based reply but am just gonna leave here the stuff that irritated me: * It feels like when you shoot a zombie they instantly respawn and head towards their own death, they now don't spawn in view as much but this is how it felt when they used to insta respawn and it's exactly how they feel now. * Speed of movement with raised weapon is a joke ... seriously ... is it an accident / bug, because you should be able to move fairly fast still. * Obviously as this is known all I am really doing is restating once more but LMB bug is a thing and my friend had it happen several times, though i didn't experience it even once. * Less a bug more a petty annoyance, items shouldn't just magically respawn in front of you, I picked up a tin and a second later BAM Green bell pepper (which i ate because hey God Bell peppers should be eaten) ... the loot spawn system is otherwise quite nice, randomly respawning stuff around. Hmmmm and that's about it, I still enjoy the new guns and stuff and I'm still enjoying playing even if it can be frustrating when a bazillion zombies decide to eat you but I will also look forward to the next update hopefully settling some of these issues.

For those struggling with melee'in zombies, with an axe aim more towards the stomach / butt and you'll be fine if not I am using a pickaxe, it swings down and is perfect at the moment. Pick Axe + Crawling Zombie + Rag Doll = Hilarious smack down. Only irritation I've had so far is when I killed a player he rag dolled and trying to find the body interaction bit took ages, had to wander the way he came and 4 steps back it was just next to his fallen rifle.

When the MP5K was added I was hyped .. hell I got myself a full police uniform (including ridonkulous hat cos lolol) and eventually found an MP5K + a couple of 30 round mags. I rocked along with this using the MP5K as a primary and rolled along with my buddies, we eventually get to Balota and come under fire as we circle around we get to the bad guys side and I find him hiding in a bush facing the wrong way, it surprised me and I open up at sub 3 metres (like the MP5K was practically touching his back) .. and I emptied my mag into him, he turns around as I do this and opens up on me with a .45 and gets me xD .... I was to say a little bit surprised, like I knew it'd be low damage but I swear I'd of had better luck using a sporter .22. Is it just the damage system is a bit skewy at the mo (I know they have the whole absorbing damage on items stuff .. and since it was his back maybe even more so with a full bag of stuff to go through?) or is the MP5K just That inaccurate / low damage? Just kinda wanted to ask outloud since I was a little irritated at this lack of sudden massacre of this dude .. xD (I also had another event earlier but that was in a tree / bush so I fear thos emagic leaves bounced the 9mm away).

Nah in this case he wasn't in enough for the magical Kevlar leaves to protect him.

At the time I was kinda surprised to see his back suddenly move towards me from the bush next to me, otherwise there would of been a bit more finesse and some aiming for that cranium, but aim wise my dot was in first person and already on top of his spine so there wasn't even a turn / reorientation of my aim.

Hmmm it is a possibility .. I have to say I'd been fine up till then and the other case of point blank into a guys back was similiar, no kill (though i did get the other guy as he ran via my pistol) but some blood to indicate some hits ....

Well hold up this isn't even slightly a complaint i know more zombies are on the way .. But yesterday me and the few I play with were wandering through Black forest when we came under zombie attakc by 11 or 12 zombies in total .. they were just all in roughly the same area, in fact we were vaguely unprepared for this but it was incrediably fun, we named it our first baby horde. Has anyone els ehad points where big clumps of zombies have been close together?

seems like a cool thing to test out, my need for a changelog is also rising .. but suppose we must just wait! xD

132 hours ... I don't feel the need of a screenshot to confirm a mediocre amount of time xD

Once they add loot respawn it shouldn't be too bad .. I for one look forward to the 100 player deathmatchs ... wait .. xD

Australian Classification Board is like ... the bane of Australian gamers ... xD So basically every single Australian gamer who possibly wants to play DayZ should buy it now before it is eventually rated?

Too add a reaffirming post of similar flavour ... 2 pistol mags (1 in gun and 1 in Backpack), for the M4 3 -4 mags (1 in gun rest in bag) depending on if I find 60's, for the SKS 2 stripper clips and normally 20 rounds in top pockets (that way I can stripper clip when need to or load from spare rounds if not in danger).

Yeah I did it and I didn't take any of your rounds as most of it was ruined from my precision shot that zig zagged through your body. Also it was 1 on 1 man .. you just thought it was 1 on 0 until that round went through you.

Going off my totally unscientific theory, 900k of men play and I think you should force your husband to play, like make it a rule of your marriage going forwards.

This was my post a chunk of time back: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164873-lots-of-zombies/

Black Forest exactly, I had this happen too! I even posted a thread up a while back, a fair chunk just popped up and came at me and my friends.

I still think whole heartedly they needs a community manager to deal with the community as a whole but you know that's just because that is what I am used to from a fair few other companies.

we have 2 female players in our group of 8 .. 3 guys : 1 female player seems about the ratio I see (but who knows as said am sure a lot of female players just don't speak so they avoid sleaze). Personally I base how I react to people on the Weapon categories ... New Spawn I won't hit unless I am in an actually full on ass lol mood, Melee weapons I just keep a respectable distance if I do talk to them... and gun people I only talk to if the opportunity happens .. otherwise it is bye bye time. All regardless of race, sexuality or gender ... Lolol .. Like the Tax Man :3

Or ... it could be some data handle issue with where ever the forum is hosted .. because I know plenty of forums that just periodically shit their SQL load issue over everything like a nasty case of diarrhoea and go down for a short period til some one gets up and notices.

Can we not all be right! Irishroy for your great taste in apocalypse based movies you are correct and I for being a Fallout 3 "drug like" addled gamer am also right... right?!??! xDDDD

Yesterday I shot my friend point blank in the chest when she came from the direction I didn't expect in Electro and then raised her pistol at me ... xD .... and this was while on teamspeak and I should of been able to recognise what she was wearing. xD ... wait .. GIRLS PLAYING ON DAYZ HOW DARE THEY! *Puts on slippers and puffs on pipe ...* this news of women playing games has deeply unsettled me.

Boxes could have a random amount rather than 20 rounds constantly? Open box to find 1 round of ammo .. like piles but at least we get to admire the pretty art work xD

He has a life .. a DayZ life. It has become all consuming to him.

Lol since I was passive aggressively hooked up to Fallout 3 and afterwards new Vegas like it was the life sustaining drug I needed .. I think of FO3 first. xD For the record I have seen al of the Mad Max films but some how I got left with Thunderdome .. 2 enter 1 leaves as my lasting Mad Max memory.

Ok everyone back to the 17th - 18th Century where we all don brightly coloured uniforms and shoot at each other across perfectly level fields with none of that blasted terrain getting in our way! xD
