Did you think of turning the sound down? Probably won't even hear them.

Sorry should have been more specific, help from devs, I meant give us the ability to build fences, wooden or wire. Something we can use to fence off an area, in a field, away from towns. Of course make it darn impossible for a single player to be able to complete a large area on his/her own. This will cause players to band and work together. Give us something to do, and once bandits realise players aren't coming into big towns anymore, most will abandon their kos ways, probably show their true colors and drop the game altogether.It would become a true survival game, some players gathering food and resources, others building fences. I think this would also reduce server hopping as your building is only on one server. Once the compound is finished, fences should be breachable by players or/and zombies, causing players to guard the perimeter, create duties for your team. Maybe we can have a turf war, over whose hunting ground it is. Rather than have single player squabbles, declare war on your neighbours. And all this without magic safe zones. I'm personally getting tired of wandering around aimlessly.

I actually would like to keep this much rain, it stops players from running around carelessly. It should however rain for longer, keeping you under a tree for hours. What will be the effects of wet clothes? Cold?

Im finding server lag a big issue with ISS, you can run around but as soon as zombie approaches you it lags and when u get a second of lag in ISS it means certain death

I have started the same thread just few weeks ago, my idea was to use morale to lower the amount of unnecessary kos. If you kill too many players your screen will go gray,

Moments before dayz was released as alpha;Dev1: "do you think we should create some kind of a back story, explaining when this takes place or how zombies came to be?" Dev2: "nah, stuff it, easier just to tell the players, to make their own storylines, make feel like they are in control."

Bravo "clap" "clap" beanz for everyone

Unfortunately unless you run in a group i wouldnt recommend going coast with too much equipment. If you want to team up my steam name is lanadejan, add me. I dont play much but might be handy to have friends ingame

First time i got trolled, i got "im dying" , and i believed it, my screen was already gray from fighting zombies so i left my character out in the open hoping a zombie would come and speed up my dying. When i came back to my laptop, i got the color back and "healing" status. The stupid thing was i discarded all my items including an m4 with so much ammo just because i didnt want another player stumbling across my body and taking it. I could have gone back in the woods if i remembered where i bloody threw it

Hopefully they also change fonts, times new roman makes the game look really cheap

Its a server msg, server owner fucking around

Dont take a break, the trick is not to get attached to your gear, easier said than done though. To get enough food to survive, you need to go inland. Unfortunately once you are inland you will trip over so many guns it will be impossible not to take one. As soon as u have one with enough ammo to take on a small army, you ofcourse dont want to loose it. Thats when this game becomes boring, you avoid the coast, and keep to yourself in the woods, jumping at every sound. I am in the same boat, even though i had so much fun being weaponless on the coast just a day before. Kos is definetly reduced when you got nothing. My advice to you, forget guns and large backpacks, go inland find school backpack only put in couple of cans of food, get a fire axe and bandages. Come back to coast and have fun, other players are only heroes when not threatened by you

Yeah i searched the net for hacks as well, not to buy one but just to see what its about. (; Wouldnt it be easier just to youtube it?

A zombie by definition is a reanimated corpse brought back to life by a virus or otherworldly means. Nothing functions except the brain, which would cause the body to rot and decay faster, if a zombie apocalypse was to happen, it would never reach apocalyptic proportions, as they would be barely able to crawl.In 28 days later (right now dayz zombies are closely related to this movie), they are not zombies, its a virus like rabies which causes a person to go mad. But asides from terminology, i dont care if they make zombies 10 times harder, but give us some protection by closing doors and barricading ourselves in. Atm we just have to run away, no strategy involved.

They are just too fast now, a rotting corpse cant move that fast. Everytime i log in i get different gameplay when killing them. The other day i was able to fight 4 zombies by dodging their attacks, last night i couldnt kill 1. I would get hit even when standing behind it. Dodging did nothing. This is exactly the same as ISS zombies. They ran after me into a house but when they walk through a wall they glitch through the floor, and i have noticed at this stage they are powerless, i walk up to one, it took 6 hits from a crowbar to kill it. Now try connecting 6 good hits outside where they run and jump like an olympic athlete and can bleed you as long as they charge, regardless where you are. No im not complaining about how hard they are but how glitchy they are. Glitching through walls should have been solved before they even released an alpha.

They made the zombies harder but forgot to fix the mellee weapons. So now without a fire axe its impossible to loot anything as a fresh spawn

You are a scum bag of worst kind

Just eat and drink and stay away from fighting anyone. Few hours you will be healthy

U know about double tapping W key for sprinting, i have never been killed by zombie

Why would this be useful? Maybe draw zombies out of town, but you would also draw attention from other players

I played ISS before discovering dayz. And even though it gets bad reviews everywhere i thinks its a good game. Although not a true survival game, due to the marketplace or as i call it money grabbing system. At this stage its more polished than dayz, and despite so many cheaters, i would definetly reccomend this game to people on this forum who want more guns and ammo. Zombies are definetly harder in ISS, due to their 3 hit kill, plus there are so many of them unfortunately you will most likely die to due to server lag and not from being a bad fighter. I like the fact they react to sound as well as distance unlike in dayz. Atm moment i prefer dayz zombies because you can actually dodge their attacks, ISS as soon as zombie swipes at you even if u are behind it, you still get hit. The only thing i really prefer about ISS is number of zombies and actual city sizes. When dayz is completed it will be a much better game.

Well the body had my green helmet, green backpack, green sks, fire axe, so unless some poor bastard got killed as he looted me and dropped dead in my exact spot, then you are right. I did mention the body i found couldnt be looted even though weapons and backpack were clearly visible

Something wonderful happened to me last night. After getting killed outside berezino (i first thought it was a one hit zombie glitch as i was full health and died just as zombie pounced on me) but its most likely a sniper in berezino. At first i was pissed off as i lost a lot gear and a sks with scope. Spawning on coast where the big ship is i decided to give it a visit, my first visit to the ship. There i met two players since i had nothing to loose i ran to them. They were armed and didnt shoot at me, didnt want to give me any food either. They ran off, after inspecting the ship and finding absolutely nothing useful except helmet and gloves, i ran inland. Being weaponless and only 1 bandage, it was impossible to get any food due to increased number of zombies. Two hours of scrapping an odd orange or a can, finally brought my hunger down (loving it, true survival). Stumbled back to berezino and decided to check my dead body, maybe loot something back. I should mention i was able to find an m4, sks, and two handguns, and i decided to throw them away, best thing i could have done. I didnt want to go back to fear of loosing them. I found my body in the field and although all of my gear was there i wasnt able to loot it. It was an open field and i was battling about 5 zombies with a fire extinguisher. Although i had no problem of not getting hit, it was taking a long time to kill them. Next thing i heard bullets flying all around me, zombies dropping like flies, clearly someone was helping me. I saw him at outskirts of berezino, ran to him said my thanks. As i turned a corner there were about 5-6 players heavily armed, clearly friends of my saviour. I waved my hand they were HEROES. Asked if i needed anything, and even though i could have used couple of cans of food , i was just so happy to come across heroes, i said no, and went on my way. Its just so good to know there are large groups of players like this. But if i didnt throw all those weapons away, i would have most likely ended up being dead or bored in woods.

Never said a safe zone, but an area that could be barricaded and guarded by players, causing players to interact rather than just shoot. Place to go do a chore and get paid in bullets. An area where players can come and feel like a part of a community. It can be a safe zone but only made safe by players.

Hard to kill as they glitch through everything, even players. They are not harder just faster, still easy to evade, but difficult to actually make contact with my axe. It is harder dealing with more than two, so I think we need push away animation to slow down their momentum. The glitching through walls should be dealt with very soon, or "zombies impossible to kill" threads will overflow the forum. My handguns seem to be useless against them as well
