I have made my responses bold for easier reading.

See the thing that I do not understand is that, zombies have always had poor AI, they have always been able to walk through walls/doors and get to you inside buildings... But now that they respawn, and pose a threat to people, now people are posting threads about how poorly designed the zombies are, and their pathing sucks, ect. What's wrong? You all don't like having zombies being able to close in on you while you snipe bambies from sniper hill, or what? Maybe now instead of carelessly firing off your guns at people and zombies, you'll put more effort and thought into your actions and maybe interact with those who you previously gunned down for no good reason? Ohh and to the guy who keeps going on about the zombies aggroing from 500m away, you know what, sound travels, those zombies shrieking and you hitting them with an axe will draw the attention from a considerable distance, not to mention if your just firing your gun off for target practice, honestly, a bit of fine tuning with these zombies pathing issues and they will be fine.

I was in Chapa with a few clanmates, and I seen a few zombies ontop of the apartment buildings there, funny stuff...

Yeah I like how the zombies are now since the patch, now if they fix it so they don't run through walls/doors that would be great, the bleeding on the first hit is annoying but, it actually forces you to keep more than 6 rags on you, lol... People used to laugh at how the zombies weren't a threat at all, and all you had to do is run past them, now that they are as they should be, everyone is crying more than it rains in this game, lol... Who would have thought, a post-apoc zombie survival game, having zombies that pose a threat so you have to worry about them, and fight to survive???

I've said it once, and I'll say it a lot more, I am very happy that Zombies pose such a threat now, they are no longer a laughable part of the game, and now with them being buffed up, actually make this game more challenging. Seems people who don't like them being stronger, are the ones who usually go all PvP Deathmatch 9000 in Elektro and don't want the Zombies spoiling their "Fun".... The only thing that needs to be changed is their ability to walk through walls/rooms/floors/doors ect. besides that they are as they should be a threat...

I REALLY enjoy the fact that they have made the Zombies an actual threat now, it actually feels like I have to now worry about firing off my gun, and worry that at anytime I may be surrounded by Zombies, Wooh!!! And Zombies have always been able to glitch through walls/doors, ect. Finally all these COD Deathmatch Kiddies, will get what they deserve a hoard of undead, rushing them.

Ohh my gawd, lol...

I'll have to check with the higher-ups but this sounds like a great idea, and fun too!

No, 30 seconds is fine as is, people will be no more friendly no matter how long the spawn timer, in fact they would probably be agitated that they had to wait so long, that they would be in an even bigger rush to get geared up and find food/water. Besides, this would do nothing to the fully kitted people, this wouldn't make them anymore "friendly", this would perhaps make them more apt to KOS because they know they would anger the people even more, knowing that the people they kill would have to wait 15 to 30 minutes to respawn... Besides if your allowing a freshy to get close enough to punch you out, then well your not being to smart, even as a Hero I will tell the people to stay well out of arms reach, and only allow them to approach me when I have dropped food/water/gear for them and I have ensured my safety by putting myself at a distance where they are no longer a threat. I don't wear Pilot/Ballistic/Motorcycle helmets so I have to be even more cautious when interacting with someone who could simply 1 - 2 HKO me, lol...

Same, I get well geared up with Pristine everything, enough Ammo/Food/Water to last me during any event (Fire fights, Killing Zombies, Adventuring.) and the generic Medical supplies that I find most anyone should carry (Bandages, Morphine, Charcoal tablets, Saline, Epi Pen. (I know EPen and Saline aren't useful if your alone, but it helps.)) then once I have all these things I usually travel with a crew of people 3 to 6+ depending on what is going on, we usually then go to the coast and find New Spawns / Bambies to help out - or - setup somewhere and observe interactions between others and snuff out Bandits wherever they might pop up. Things do become stale after a while, and I simply remind myself that more interesting/involving content is coming since this is in Alpha, and that tends to calm the "This game is boring now." blues... I try my best to stay alive, and usually take my time moving around spots where I know there would be people, but dying is part of the game, and regearing isn't a big issue and I find it to be one of the most fun parts about this game.

You know what else gets old quick? People who come onto this forum and complain and whine about being reset or loosing gear when this game is in the very early stages of developement, and just because you paid a whopping $30.00, doesn't mean anything bad will ever happen to your precious character, get over it bugs/glitches are common place in Alpha phase games, and yeah you might not like it but the disclaimers are true, and you should heed the warnings, not just ignore them and think that they don't apply to you because you spent money on a GAME...

Why is it that people feel the need to consistently beat a subject like combat logging/KoS'ing into the ground, these two things are the MOST discussed things on this forum, yet people still feel the need to post yet another thread about the same thing, over and over and over. We get it already, some people hate/like kosing, some people hate it when people combat log, and some people believe it should be changed, there is no need to create more junk threads to bog down the forum and push more important threads to different pages, ect. Also SEARCH FUNCTION....

Just be glad you died legitimately, those nasty ladders are the bane of my existence, lol... But yeah, just you wait till they add in larger/respawning zombie infestations into this game, then the real fun begins...

I will position myself in a way that he/she won't notice me but I have a good vantage point to take the shot when they come around, sometimes I will take the shot, sometimes I won't, it really depends on if the target and their actions as they move around.

I prefer finding spots where it's not common thinking that anyone would be "there" and snipe. Finding these spots are exciting and makes you think, "why doesn't anyone snipe from here?" These unusual spots are the best to me because you have a lower risk of people scanning the area, like they do the usual spots like, high up on sniper hill, the hill behind the hay bales, or the rookie spots like roof tops, lol...

Great story, pretty awesome indeed, kinda weird but, this is DayZ....

Wow, great post man, this deserves to be stickied!

I do agree to this, people tend to care more about the cosmetic look/feel to their characters than actually putting in more effort the ensure that they stay alive and survive. I have been told by a few people, that you shouldn't care about gear/living because it's just a game and not important, well if you believe that, why play a survival game?

I was on a 40/40 server the other day, and out of the 13 people I met, 2 of them where bandits, 1 was KOS.

America would not sit idly by while a full blown pandemic of the zombie variety was going on, our troops would be over there as well, that is why you see American made firearms and clothing, and while flags might not be as apparent as they should, the names of towns/cities should be more than enough to make it "feel" Russian/Czech. Although it will feel a whole lot more Russiany when they add in the AK series of guns, woo ta-da hoo!

So why did you make one?

Wait, wait..... your telling me that you actually get held up prior to getting shot? Crap, I need to find these people then, 99% of the time I get shot dead, then hear feet running over and some squeeker blasts his mic with profanity, and swings his huge e-peen around, all the while tleling me how much of a well to put it nicely, inexperienced talentless noob I am...

I am not against Banditry, it is a natural part of this game and is what makes it what it is, if all we had to survive against was some lame zombies, it would become rather dull. I just wish Bandits where more original in their approach or heck put in the effort to be actual Bandits and not just KOS and think, "Hey I'm a Bandit, it's what we do."

Played this game for 400+ hours, have not seen a single hacker, and I have been to the hotspots on max-pop servers, what I have seen is a lot of glitchers finding ways to enter walls/rooms/floors and being able to freely gun down anyone that gets close with little to no risk at all to themselves, the only risk comes when they leave the safety of their "spot" to loot peoples bodies, which I would imagine all they would need is food/water/ammo, but a day will come when things like these are patched/fixed/blocked and these people who exploited/cheated/hacked ect. will have to play legit or quit, most will quit because when they face those who have played legit since day one, they will get wrecked, and our mugs will be overflowing with their tears of butthurtedness, lol...
