Losing gear isnt "stable". You are both arguing the same point. @paniohitus As of right now there isnt a way. Thats why I think servers with older files shouldnt be allowed to run moving forward.

Hey ander, got to chat with you the other day on Se 3. Hope you remember what I asked you about lol. Also moving forward I dont think you should allow a grace period for server owners. If the server doesnt meet standards that you set forth it shouldnt be allowed to run. Youve made a post about it and if a server owner cant keep his files updated he will be shut down till the update. I think this would help lessen the strain on the players and confusion when multiple updates are released.

The test server is nuts. Most of the time I could just run through town and only aggro 1 or 2 zombies that were pretty easy to kill. If it wasnt for the massive FPS drop while in town I would kept playing but 10 +/- FPS just couldnt cut it lol

Yeah. I thought it was something wrong with the server. Iv also seen servers with frozen zombies. They can still attack just not move. Also some servers you cant pick up items or they dont seem to spawn. Something is really wrong right now lol

Please please....please! Add in more skins other than ghillie and camo. Also I want you to really think hard about the wire fences and bear traps. The state of most major towns is nothing but crazy fence jobs around every door. I hope this doesnt become the "new thing" to put every place with no regard. Awesome work btw. I was shocked to see this being tested so early. Hope that means we are going to get it later today. Thanks for the awesome mod

Im shocked that the crossbow killed him in one shot. Hell iv taken a Enfield to the gut and only passed out. Awesome luck though. Serves that guy right really. If he hacked it in then he lost it cuz he sucks and HAS to hack just to get any where.

If youre new to Arma like have never played. Load up arma and play some of the single player missions. Thatll teach you the basic controls and moving around stuff. Then like Frissy said. Find a server that 10 or less on it and just run around to get a feel for the zombies. Dont worry about dying. Since you can always respawn dying at the start isnt that bad. Pro Tip- Crouch walk when in towns! Only run when you have to and a building that you can enter is near by. Good Luck

For me and a buddy of mine we like to loot. Hit the bigger northern towns. Then hit the Main starter towns. The thing we kinda gotten into is watching new players. Its pretty funny to watch a guy trying to find a gun just running down the coast. Pretty simple stuff really

Bullshit death. Sounds like bad luck. About 20 mins ago I was eaten by a wall...broke all my bones. Oh cant forget the time I opened a "opened" door and it crushed me some how alerting every zombie within 500 miles and was eaten promptly But yeah, sorry about your luck.

I dont know if this is a bug or a feature now but are the Zombies faster than before? I just lost my life running from a few and one of them knocks me out(i was just above 3k blood) and I get swarmed and eaten. So is it safe to say the zombies win? I mean you cant out run them anymore. Whats the point in moving? lol Sorry, I just wanted to say "the zombies win".

To start off let me just say this. I know the game is supposed to be hard. I commend and respect it because of this. But when youve got a horde of zombies in front of you and the only real option is to crawl or avoid them it just takes the fun out of killing them. Right now I feel there is to much risk in killing the zombies. Iv been trying to think how I would make them better if not more fun to shoot and clear out towns "fun". Iv thought of 3 ways I would do this by 1. Less runners. Make Fast zombies a much more "rare" spawn. Not remove them just not every zombie will haul ass and get right in your face. 2. Zombies have a slower attack speed/longer "wait" time. Fast zombies would have the same attack speed as they do now. So while you are fighting them the slower shamblers will have time to get up on you. 3. Once a town is clear of zombies maybe they spawn more on the outskirts of town and try to get back in. A varation of this would be to have a more central spawn point for zombies and not let them spawn all over the place(all the time. It should still happen, just not 100% random) What do you guys think about the zombies and/or how would you change them?

Also some of you have point this out already. Im not saying they should change anything. I like the game just the way it is. I wanted this topic to be what people thought on a subject of "killing zombies, fun or not" Not "ZOMG WHY YOU SUCK BE BETTER" or "The games fine, you just dont know how to play". If the game stays the way it is, thats fine with me. But having a input from the community without the weird "dont change a thing" line of thought just isnt good IMO.

Ouch, "nonsense". Pretty harsh. Since my first post was how to make killing them more fun. And your post seems to be more "fun is for losers. Crawl like a man". I dont want easy mode. I just want more options in how I play. So would it be safe to say that you think the way it is right now that killing zombies is fun? Edit: @redsh1rt, you might be right. I am still trying to get the hang of this new LOS system. @HedonismBot, Damnit, I should be burned at the stake lolz

Yeah im having the same issue as well. Once im logged in to the server if it starts going screwy I just log out and join another. Can be a real pain when trying to find a daytime server when its late here on the East coast though

Yup, this is pretty much how I feel about it. Another thing to note, you cant shoot both barrels at the same time. I asked a friend of mine about it and he said that in real life you dont shoot both at the same time. So I guess its to be more realistic but still I wish I could shoot both slugs at once. Or pepper the hell out of a zombie horde with buckshot lol Edit: It looks cool. Nice detail on the back of the gun when ADS'ed. Other than that I say Winchester is better and less rare(?)

Could you give us the option to move the HUD around the screen? Like say top, bottom, left side? Also awesome update. I wonder how well Melee combat will work? Right now if a zombie gets anywhere near you youre going to get hit and most likely start bleeding lol

The Ammo combining seems to be working fine. Shot gun ammo doesnt seem to work. Dunno if thats intended right now though. On thing I did notice was that if you fill up your ammo slot you cant combine ammo. So you have to have that empty slot for the ammo to combine in.

Why...why cant I shoot both barrels of the double barrel shotgun? And it has the same sound effect as the Winchester. Im saddened by this =( I hope in 1.7.2 it gets its on sounds. Maybe something with a little more...punch?

Its times like this I wish there was a dev blog so we could read about your thoughts and insight while you are working on things like this. Also everyones asking so im going to ask to, Vids plox of sounds and stuff! Maybe you can demonstrate the new LOS system and such? Anyway great job so far on the changes! You might have to skip 1.7.1 and go right to 1.8 if you keep adding things lol

A red lens flashlight taped to the end of my M4A1 would be super AWESOME! Me and a friend were talking about this the other night. Also it kinda sucks that holding a flashlight is so limiting. So much so that you have to drop/move your pistol to use it.

So after playing for the past week. I would like to see more skins added to the game. Maybe make some less rare than others? Maybe some that really serve no purpose but for looks. Oh and They can add back in the bandit skin. Sadly Iv never seen it in person, only in videos of the game before I got it. I kinda thought it looked cool. Very different. Long story short. It would be nice if people looked more different. What are some skins you would like to see added to the game?

"Im all up in your chimney, smoking a fattie" lol. Iv seen that pic some place before but I cant remember where

Iv never heard of this but the good thing is that if the server has 0 zombies most of the time the loot wont spawn either. Plus with the long load times and connection issues a person has a much harder time trying to come behind you(unless you were camping to start with lol)
