pre-patch I was looking forward to zombies spawning. Finally, a bit of life (or more undeath) being added to the game. Now having played it, I have to say I hate the way zombies spawn. I spent 20 minutes almost getting killed by zombies in Krasnostav. I couldn't bandage because the zombies were spawning so quickly that before I could bandage, more had spawned and were on top of me. I ran to the outskirts, blood pissing out of me, but still they kept spawning all around me. I managed to bandage but was immediately smacked by another zombie and started bleeding again I ran further out of town. Still they kept coming. I ran further. I'm now in the middle of a field well outside town. Guess what. Zombies are appearing out of thin air and coming for me. In my escape from town, I got through 2 sks snap loaders, 5 magnum snap loaders, 1 fnx45 mag and 2 of the new 22 pistol mags. 1 bullet per zombie. Now I really wanted some more action in the game, but damn, having to go through 50 rounds of ammo to just be able to bandage is really taking the piss a little. Surely they've pushed things a little TOO far in the opposite direction. It could have been a little more fun, but the fact that I could see zombies pop into existence all around the field and immediately turn and start running at me really detracted from the game. Bottom line - More zombies = good but surely it can be better implemented than this?

Actually, it's not. It's a pain in the leg :P

I'm so glad you're not my friend :-D

i can't help but wonder, in the time it takes to wear a can down to open it, how many buildings would i have searched for a tool of some kind to open the can?

i won't ask how you've become an expert on the subject.... ;)

No. If they're trying to make it a zombie survival sim then having a book based on itself wouldn't really make sense.

I understand the frustration. But perhaps you're just unlucky not to have met your match in a single player? I've played lots by myself and have been taken down, and have taken down my fair share of people. I also play with my 3 brothers communicating on teamspeak, we have been tactical and have executed some good tactics and had some very good battles. We was once wiped out by a single person in a building because we just couldn't get a decent shot on him (an embarrassing failure). As much as I hate to bang the 'Alpha drum' though, we have to remember that it's a very early stage in the development and the only fun part, in my opinion, is the PvP. Survival is incredibly boring and too easy - run into a city, find some cans, run into the woods and sit behind a tree till you run out of food. There's not a lot else to do at this point. When we can build a base, have loot respawns and persistant items, them perhaps the game will no longer be mass PvP-fest, until then all we can do is enjoy killing others.

Same thing happened to me at NEAF the other day whilst trying to get hold of a pistol on top of the cabinets. I was actually teleported to side of the runway...fall, die. Luckily my bro was on hand to rescue and guard my gear for me and I respawned just ouside of svetlo, so it was a quick run back. But yes, this sucks.

my life is now complete.

I would have laughed so hard if the server restarted while all your boxes were on the floor :D

I found a lady with a waterproof hat...it's look effective!

Here's some mesh... It looks as waterproof as the net! LOL! Sorry. couldn't resist :D

so here's a net How on earth do you make this waterproof????!?! :D

Or perhaps their ability to walk through walls. I guess i was lucky in that I wasn't backed into a room with a never ending stream of zombies coming through the walls and blocking my escape.

Guilty as charged. I never had the mod or Arma II. But like a new pair of shoes, it might be a bit uncomfortable to start with, but they just need wearing in :)

Busted!

Is this official or just a guess?

This. It's happened to me a few times. Better find somewhere better to hide!

I imagine the zombies will make their jobs easier in some respects and harder in others. Sit in a campy hole someone high, shoot at a poor sod minding his own business, laugh maniacally as the target legs it away and attacts every zombie in the area. Then suffers as the rest come to him spawning all their mates on the way.

I've found quite a few, though they are quite small and easy to miss. I guess you've just had bad luck.

ha! Good job at reading the whole original post. Your reading skills are truly amazing! I'll quote it here for you benefit. Pay careful attention to the part that says that I'm in the middle of a field....it's the second (2nd) line of the quote.

They're called fields. They don't have stairs.

LOL! Now there an idea for a good mod... Medieval Dayz :lol:

in other good news, they have fixed the problem that let you crawl under the hangers at NEAF. So no more sneaky bastards shooting you from under the floor!

Yes! I was thinking about this type of camo the other day. I'd love to see this in game.
