The axe is a nice touch in the game for defending against zombies but being a axe rambo going into a city is rather boring and takes no challenge to do. Add massive amounts of zombies that key into any noise and you'll have hours of entertainment...or a quick death depending on your rambo axe skills!! I'd also suggest that players can't log off on top of places like the fire station or the hospital....when the zombies start grouping around the ladder I can see KOS snipers logging off instead of dealing with the issue that 20 zombies are grouped around the ladder. This would help reduce snipers in the game by 10 fold!! Who's going to deal with a bunch of zombies over shooting bambies? They should set the zombie level at a half dozen for every weapon fired. You fired 6 times that's 36 zombies surrounding you. People will need to be very wise on whether it's worth pulling the trigger, unlike it is now where there's really no risk to gun someone down from a distances or even close up....other than if the person has a group playing with him.

I appreciate everyone's input...good discussion on all sides, but I'm still running!!! :lol: Blast away if that makes ya feel good.....and I'll die knowing that I scared you enough to shoot.....so we can call it even!

I got attacked last night by them...I was alone in a city and figured I try out my 357 on one because I hadn't fired the damn gun the whole time I've had it. What a mistake!!! Next thing I know is I have 5 zombies on me.....run Forest run!!! Put my gun away and ran to a street light (what the F___K why are they working?) far enough away to pull my axe out and then I did a tap dance around the zombie herd until I killed the last one. Freaked me out....semi dark street...fire...poof a group of zombies come out of nowhere...OH krap!! But I love it...now if they can get them to actually climb three stories and ladders it will be perfect. For some reason they stop on the second floor of buildings. Now on a side note......why are street lights working? What...........are they running on batteries?

I agree 100%...if someone is going to ask me to drop my weapon....then they should drop theirs too, if not...freakin' start shooting because I'm not dropping anything! I'll put my gun away if the other person puts theirs away too. It's the only level playing field for both parties and it also shows that the other person does want to interact with another player.

I can't wait til they increase the zombie count by 100 x... right now there's not enough to even concern anyone. Hope they also make them move to gun fire sounds too.

Got at least 60-80 hrs in so far......not killed one person yet. Helped a few....died by a few but have never fired on another person. Seen quite a few from a distance but just let them be and went on my way. I'd probably open fire on someone that was doing wrong to a player if it came up but so far, it's been single players I've seen.

They need to get 2 bugs fixed....zombies being able to walk up stairs and adding about 10,000 zombies in the big major cities and airfields. Also a great update would be when a player is killed the corpse turns to a zombie also. And to make it that if a shot is fired the zombies within a 1/4 mile home in on where the shot came from. This could really keep bandits and KOS in check. Imagine the hospital or fire station filled with 1000 zombies or little sniper hill having a 1000 zombies roaming up the hill side.

I probably (if it matters any) included that I was 4,000 miles away from any major city and on a server that had only 6 players on it.....what's the odds of running across a player in a rundown castle? 1 in a million? I was heading East and stopped by to check out the castle when this happened. It took me by surprise only because the limited number of players and being out in the sticks, it's the last thing I would have expected. But unless I have a view on the player from the start...I'm not sticking around....either shoot and kill me or I'm outta there. Sure I could have circled around and attempted to reverse the situation, but why? It wasn't like I was out looking for contact with another player...(I was out in the freakin' sticks...crossing a freakin' huge map to get to another location). If I want contact I'll head to a major city and look for people on a full server!! I've spent 6-8 hrs collecting my gear.....screw those who want to take it in 5 minutes! Figure if I'm running away from them and they unload on me......they'll screw all the gear up anyway. It's why I put all my food in the yellow containers and leave my ammo out of them. They'll have to shoot me in the back, which will most likely waste all the ammo...they can walk away with their just rewards and be so proud of their superior game play.

Find a real big axe and a motorcycle helmet first thing....that'll deal with the zombie issues and then you can look for food....and get off the main coast line.....it's no place for a newborn deer to roam.

VSS Vintorez would be nice.

Want to get Dayz but I need to know if it's going to work on my system: Win 7 AMD II x4 630 2.80 GHz x64 Ram: 6 GB ATI Radeon HD 4200 Hard drive 698 GB Monitor Acer V223W at 1680 Any help would be great. Thanks, Lizard
