Suggestion on how to barricade? Just curious.

I like this idea! Like others had said, very minimal loot.... a can of beans, a can opener or a magazine. Nothing large like a gun or axe. I personally don't think a zombie would carry around an axe but something else like a radio in their pocket seems more realistic.

Turn up your field of view if you want more than 90 degrees in first person view. I run mine about 3/4 full. it add a fish eye effect but you get used to it. BTW I hate 3rd person games.

Honestly to me you are comparing Florida oranges and California oranges. They both taste like an orange.

Now this is just an idea but I think it would be a cool addition. Lockable doors. You would have to come across a key much like a handcuff key but it would be a master key. Maybe even once you got it you would have to figure out what style building it would lock. Maybe even somehow craft a key. Anyways I think that idea would be cool to lock yourself in a building and no one can get in or to lock zombies out. even to be able to have private savable area. To add to this. It would be great to somehow add in being able to save things in the server. (in this locked house) such as a book bag with medical supplies or extra weapons and keep them in a chest or something... to be able to have access later. Even storing things you collected and to be able to call a place "home". However when you die it is all erased from the server and you start over just like normal. I don't know if this is even plausible with the server load is could cause. I just thought it might be a cool idea. Much like in Fallout 3 and new vegas, you have a home to store things and can always resort to going with a craft bench and/or other items. I'm not talking about something that complex but lockable door would be a start.

+2 I haven't seen one yet. Now I have just randomly died without any notice. I didn't see a hacker or anything so I can't blame it on that.

This thread went downhill fast.

I like how aggressive they are and the number of them. It seems like I am huge target and they hit me from far away. Where its the complete opposite for me trying to hit them. I don't like how if you are trying to sneak around and you do make it past them... You see one off in the distance, staring at in in zoom(not moving) and that one sees you. Then it seems to alert all the zombies and now you have 7 chasing you.

world war z. 28 days later they were pretty fast.

if thats how a pink hat welding 7yr old wants to play then that's up to him. As for a 7yrold playing a m rated game that is his parents fault for not actually knowing what he is doing. Only thing you can control is how YOU play the game. Which happens to be the whole basis of the game.... Crazy, right?

Sound to me like he doesn't quite understand the game. Has been killed too many times by a 7yr old then comes here to rant cuz its the games fault seems legit.

This is a great idea. You could leave items for yourself to get later or even store your buddy's gear who just died. give the shovel more hit point so the axe isn't the only thing that kills the zombies. Plus if you have one then you can loot someone else mole hole.

why wouldn't we get that? that's pretty damn cool to track a player and get them. I don't personally think it's BF and COD fault people play run and gun. it's just hope people play. I think it's just dumb to just kill people. if you make a purpose for you kills.... awesome. tracking is one of them and that takes skill.

I log into any server to include 24/7 servers and all are night time? It's strange. Anyone else experiencing this?

Good point @nettles he's exactly what I'm talking about. I guess people are lazy and like to gear up that way. I was with a group one time and a fully gear guy came up and they asked me to be the mediator. I went up to talk to him and they covered me. After a while of talking, he seemed ok. Then he was shot. The group covering me said they didn't like the way he was acting... Then told me to take his stuff that I needed it. I said I felt wrong for taking it cuz he seemed cool. So I took his stuff and went on my merry way. it was def way easier to do that. But I felt bad for the guy.. Haha

Thanks for the info guys!

Maybe... but walls mean nothing to them so why wouldn't he just ghost through the door to eat me? IDK

I am a victim of this... I logged out in the building with .35 and logged back in under .42 and I could hear a zomb but didn't know where he was. Opened a door and he smacked the shit out of me.

@nettles No doubt. I've met a few good people in game who have helped me tremendously. I met with them when we online and exchange gear. I always try to help people and end up dead. I know how pissed I used to get when I would die, so I try the peaceful method. Not very successful. Just don't like KOS, I mean if you meet someone and talk and they act stupid and are threating, by all means protect the char you've been running for 20 hours. That's the nature of the beast.

One thing I've learned playing this game is... everyone is bad. haha jk. There truly good players and bad players. Even the good ones will "accidentally" kill you in an accidental gun fight. Once open a time... recently. A guy killed another passerby in cold blood as I watched from a roof top. I wanted to loot the body that he left there by the rail road tracks, so I patiently until the coast was clear. Made my way down the ladder and tip toed around the building. Turned the corner and a guy dress in full yellow rain gear and a gas mask was there. by the time I could pull a weapon out, My screen read "YOU ARE DEAD". After screaming obscene gestures at the rain prepared man, he replied in his prepubescent voice "It's DayZ man, Just killing people". I proceed to convince in he preferred the warmth of a man. Moral of the story... none. This game is mindless and I love it!

Zoom is your best friend now!

Anyone else notice the zeds can hit you from really far away and you have to be standing literally on top of them to hit them with anything?

you are probably right.

I read that in the update list. But it wasn't making a swinging/hit sound and not registering a hit. Idk. Maybe it was just a a glitch, wrong place wrong time. Lol

I got this with a bat trying to fend off two zombies. Zombies - 1... Me - 0are the zombies more aggressive this go around??? Normally in close proximity I can pull out the pull out my axe and have a hacking fest. Logged out in a barracks in balota. Logged in with the patch next to a zombie.... In the dark. Zombies - 2... Me - 0.
