Its a zombie survival game, not collect pristine items game.

I dont know when this video was made, but it is currently pretty much useless.At the moment if zombie is facing away from you, you can run jump or dance makarena and zombie will not hear you. Sneaking is pointless as they see you from kilometer away, as long as nothing obstructs their view. I had one run at me from a good distance, not sure exactly how far, but using a scope this zombie was a dot. Even though when facing a zombie or zombies, 3rd person is easier, however right now its broken, doesnt always work. Any melee weapon in 1st view is 1-2 hit kill. The only thing that you can use from that video is strafing and hitting, even this doesnt guarantee you wont get hit. Even facing away from you and striking, you can receive damage, desync maybe. H1z1 already has a push away action, i hope this is implemented soon as strafing doesnt really work indoors or tight areas

Yes but now we have hunting and fishing and couple of items to craft. Dont forget couple of extra added buildings. Oh and we have one extra type of zombie, a monkey crawler, do not attempt to fight these if you find other zombies hard. If you are going to say "is that all" and its actually almost 8 months now, then yes that is all unfortunately. (Aaand the fanboy attack in ...3. 2. 1.)But seriously its slowly very slowly becoming the best zombie survival game

thanks for this, I cant wait for arrows either. Hope they reduce ammo spawning. At the moment im down to 8 bullets in my mosin, and 10 in my magnum. I could just easily loot military barracks, even server hop to get fully geared in matter of minutes, but I try and play a survival game. What other crafting will be available?

Bugs are there because its an alpha, most items are still just placeholders and not finished. And same will be for cars.

I dont think they will have completed cars right away, they are most likely to contain certain bugs.

Actually cars are not too hard at all, it shouldnt take long, there are barely any animations except wheels turning and doors opening. Its all script.

Are you sure they are ashwood, because there are other trees with white trunks, but unlike ashwood, these have black patches. Ashwood is all white trunk apparently. I have crossed the map, all the way to coast, still nothing. Nearly ran into two players, im surprised they didnt see me, i thought about sniping them to take my tally to 2 kills ha ha. But didnt want to ruin their gameplay, they werent a threat.I also managed to find rope and an axe in the process.

This game is all about getting heavily armed and collecting pristine parts for those weapons. Take a look at dayz videos, 99% are all about armed pvp combats, sniping and force feeding. Good on you for playing the way you have so far, but if you dont have complete control of the situation, do not interract with those players.

True, I even thought about server hopping in these sheds just to acquire a pick, but it would be cheating. These sheds also spawn stones needed for campfires, but apparently can also be used to sharpen knives

No you don't die from rotten fruit, at the moment nothing is affected by being sick, accept annoying messages. Wish this changes soon

I know at the moment loot is just scattered around, but at least much needed sticks are all around the woods in case of a broken leg. I keep on finding rocks on a second floor bedroom but none in solichniyi quarry, ha ha.I dont think dayz will ever go too far in crafting, but at least it gives us lone wolves something to do while walking around aimlessly. Im not into pvp all that much, so i dont run or server hop military buildings to get guns and ammo. At the moment i have the feel of a real survival game . 15 bullets in my mosin, 10 in my magnum, and i cherish everyone of them. Just the other day i came across a deer for the first time(congrats to devs for hiring hunting game experts, that deer moved around as if i was watching a documentary), and i decided not to shoot it, i have heaps of food and not too many bullets. Its decisions like this that mean realism to me. I avoid people, and watch them through my scope from hills, i dont shoot them either, i just make sure they arent coming towards me. Zombies (lucky for so few) are easily rid off with my machete, which i would love to be able to resharpen, an idea for devs.

Magnum is my favourite and u dont need to find a magazine either

I for one wouldnt play a realistic game, if it meant i really die when my avatar gets killed as well, ha ha

I tried experimental after some guidance from couple of members on this forum. Yes it was nice knowing you were safe inside, but unfortunately it doesnt work all the time, and that can get you into alot of trouble. To me zombies are too hard in experimental, i was trapped in a house with one of those monkey crawlers, who cares little about walls ha ha. Being trapped in a tight space with a creature that lunges like an olympic athlete, ended up in me dying very quickly. He was facing away from me half oh body in the wall, and i was getting hit, while he was perfectly fine. Lets just say i couldnt wait to get back to steady servers. At least there i know what to expect. With hunting and basic crafting, looking for items, i finally have a reason to play this game again.

to me that's worse than kos or bandit. you kill for no reason whatsoever.

I think this is experimental only

How about the need to raise your arms to be able to punch someone. With so much actions needed for dayz player controller, I hope it doesn't become too clunky. Sometimes simple is the best

If you could have captured lightning behind the tower, that would make an awesome horror shot

Would you like a cushion and some ice with your kvass while you kill fresh spawn? I cant wait till they add zombies outside towns to prevent camping bandits

It was one of those monkey crawlers, last time i tried face to face combat with this type of zombie, it was horrible. He kept on lifting me in the air, im assuming it was the low center of his collider, could never get a decent whack at him, and as i said, didnt really want to loose my inventory to a glitch or something.But you are right i should have been more prepared, or even better left the zombie alone ha ha

As much as i like this idea, i also hate it, because of zombies. Yesterday i found a 1911 engraved, i didnt have a clip but had bullets for it. I also didnt realise "R" doesnt work or i havent configured it yet. Anyway i decided to test it on a z who was minding his own busniess. I walked up to him and from about 5m away i fired. Nothing happened, z didnt even flinch. As i was pressing R repeatedly and nothing happening, z slowly turned around and jumped at me. I evaded him easily but i had to run away, i forgot to hotkey a mellee weapon. While running, you would think opening an inventory and simply dragging a bullet or another weapon would be a solution, but it isnt. Once you open an inv. you are restricted to only running straight, and z can glide and hit you. Since i had such nice loot, i didnt want to loose it to a one hit death from a z, which sometimes happens.I need string to make a bow, have all ingredients even arrows, even a fishing rod but apparently i need a shovel to get bait, so i ended up running into hills zig zag, the z followed me for a long time. I ran like a little girl screaming.

The noises are a known bug, zombies growling and gates opening can be heard all over chernaurus, especially in woods where there are no zombies or gates

I always spawn away from coast now, without any differences. I get the usual torch, battery and Im hungry status

That same person will probably make a thread on this forum, andp his version will be, "i was at the gas station when 5 or 6 heavily armed bandits started shooting at me..."Why he shot you, because there are no zombies around and he probably has a backpack full of clips. On the other hand bambis can be bigger asseholes as well, i have probably been attacked by empty handed bambis that armed players
