The problem is that the OP's never have anything constructive to say, or that could not be immediately answered by checking the sticky's or search function. The op cant manage to punch out a zombie but wants to completely overhaul the combat system. Further read the OP's remarks, they are not attempting to be constructive. And lastly, you are attacking me as a person instead of addressing my points.

I do not believe that the machete is working as intended.

Come on bra, you troll the forums more than I do, there have been 4 posts in GD in the last hour complaining about wipes and resets :) There is probably a server error. You do have a good question though, I have no idea what its like when you login but were killed during your timer.... Makes you wonder how many of said posts were people that got caught. Edit: Oh and on that note, we noticed that if you just run somewhere and log out that you may log in at a previous location about 30 seconds behind where you logged. My friends and I have been waiting for about 30 seconds (good practice anyways) before we log out and it seems to help. Some of the login and death could be some kind of bug where the game thought you kept running and decided to warp you forwards and kill you.

? Have you ever tryed to kill an un-dead hungry abomination with a crowbar before? I have and let me tell you, great cardio! There are ALPHA bugs right now, which is why you should avoid them in buildings. Melee are far from needing to be 'buffed'. Did it ever occur to you, that its intentionally a pain in the ass to kill zeds with a baseball bat? Edit: I mean. If anything this just shows how pathetic zombies are at the moment. And your asking for buffed melee weapons and tactical moves? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SqfD2Q7QLA

Will do thank you. Edit: Also, back on topic, this is why its probably good to keep a piece of rotten fruit on you.

Good reason to keep that piece of rotten fruit on you.

A suicide option, or a re-spawning option, will probably be added. But I would really like to know where he got this pistol and amo information.

Dont fight them inside.

Get used to it. Alpha.

Aim for the head.

Id love you to source that information. I'm calling you out. And if you link me to the video on the landing page, I'm going to laugh.

Limited access to 'pristine' weapons systems, and military weapon systems. Gunshots attracting more than 2 zombies. In short, yes.

1) Put your back to the ocean. 2) Hold W. 3) Find a water source fill to lime green. 4) Continue holding W. 5) After 45 minutes open buildings to find loot.

As far as my memory goes those systems were never implemented because there was no safe way for it to be deployed without killing the crew deploying it. The idea of a 'tactical' nuke is a misnomer and applys to a nuke that can be deployed by something other than a missile. If you needed something 'Tactical" you going to use conventional ordnance. If you want to level an entire city, blind people for 3 miles, and poison the area for hundreds of years you use a nuke. Dont let the term tactical confuse you. Edit: Why is this in this thread its been completely derailed. You should make another post or go into PM's :P

If you are on the coast, or near the coast, or at a military area, you are causing your own death. If you do not control the situation, you cause your own death. If you continue to believe people will not try to kill you, you cause your own death. If you play smart, stay out of places like Electro, observe your surroundings, control situations, and dont take people at face value, you may just live.

You did not successfully survive the people who wanted to do you harm. Let me guess, you died on or near the coast, didnt you.

? I mean how does this highlight that? 9/10 times the guy with the gun is going to win against the guy with the axe/fists/rock/pointed stick. In the 1/10 times thats not true the guy with the gun has made a GRAVE tactical error.

Nope.

If you cant avoid them aim for the head. You will one or two hit KO them, they will be back up but you can control them. Circle them, they are kind of dumb and slow and tend to miss you if you move to the side.

Mother of god.....

Loot is acting like body armor at the moment. Fill your slots accordingly :)

Dont go to electro? There are about 7 citys on the coast. There are 2 airfields, and about 3 military bases. If you stay in these spots you will be shot, raped, mugged, abused, poisoned, or any number of other things. There are over 20 citys that are not these places. Quit complaining about going to THE MOST HEAVILY CAMPED areas IN THE GAME and getting shot for it. If thats not ok with you, get some friends, get some guns, man up, and regulate that shit. But quit QQing about it. Do something or avoid the situation.

You should refrain from personal insults. It greatly weakens your point.

Could it be in? Sure. Should it? I dont think so. The game is supposed to be about player interaction during a zombie apocalypse scenario. There comes a point where the weaponry would hurt that and make it also a military sim. Now the question is "Is DayZ a military sim too?". And I dont think it is. Sure there are going to be a couple heavy weapons here and there. But if your going to start with these weapons, why not add ac130's, tanks, jets? You could come up with all sorts of justifications for doing it, but it would change how the game is played, and the spirit of the game. The spirit of the game involves player interaction, not leveling an entire block with your anti tank weapon. Let another game be the holocost military simulator. I could defiantly see something like that working in the shadow of nuke war. But it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth for DayZ.
