Johnny Walker

ya the odds of them breaking your legs is kinda high, seems to happen like 2/3rds of the time or so. I don't know if this can be tweaked, but if it can, maybe it should be looked at. broken legs prior to finding morphine somewhere is a death sentence, literally a one hit kill for zed. Of course, maybe its working as intended, similar to being bit and catching the virus or something. Also, I'd like to see a chainsaw developed. It could use fuel as ammo, and be really noisy, but also be some kind of super effective close range weapon, as a trade off for the stealthy axe/crowbar weapons.

I'm gonna try to get in on this one, looks like there might be some fun to be had here :)

Yeah I want zombies to be the primary threat in this game, but right now they seem to be seeing and hearing through walls and at very large distances. I want them to be a major difficult threat, just somehow a better one. It just feels cheap right now, like the ai is cheating a little to much. Its like I wish I was a zombie in this game, and had all those superpowers :)

I think zombies are seeing me through walls. I've died dozens of times trying to test this, (intentional, not a complaint) and I think I can safely say I'm drawing aggro from zed when there is no possible way they can have LOS. Perhaps they are hearing me through the walls? Also, it seems they can see/hear from really really far away now, but from what I've read of this thread, (don't have time to read all of it) Its been mentioned quite a bit. Love the hack and slash weapons, I'm an old dead island guy.

Seems to be darker? I don't know. Its definitely REALLY dark on all the servers I could log on to though. Also getting a lot of the "wrong build go update to 1.7.1.1 you have 1.7.1.2" on servers that claim to be 1.7.1.2, dunno what thats all about.

Another nice update. Thanks Rocket! Keep it up!

nice video Matt I don't think there is much you can do there. Anyone you don't shoot might try to kill you, particularly when you arm them and then tell them you want to see what its like to start off without a weapon. I mean, you all but gave the guy permission to try to off you. However, it was a dick move on his part. In the future, maybe just try to help people loot stuff, or hopefully find someone who knows to be grateful for help. If you ever save Johnny Walker, you can count on finding a friend :)

I have yet to find any food anywhere.

I too have recently spent a few hours with this update and have found no food or water anywhere. All loot seems to be much harder to come by then before in fact. Thought I was just unlucky, but a few people are mentioning it so I thought I'd mention it too. I was also in a building and saw a half dozen or so zeds bunched so close together that they looked like a superzombie with multiple arms and such. You know, like those hindu gods statues? This was the zombie version. Like the final boss of the internet, all screaming and grunting. Feet seemed to be planted under the floorboards and from what I could tell they couldn't move. I didn't hang out there too long though. The ones that did chase me around villages and such I was able to loose running into the forest and zig zagging around trees and brushes, trying to plot a course in my mind of how to make myself hard to follow using the terrain. And for a while a few times it really felt like I was running for my life. Somewhat stressful really. Kept thinking "oh god I can't die here, I finally found a gun!" Good times.

Thanks for all the weekend work. Please continue to tirelessly develop this game for our amusement.

Zombies see you too easily. Zombies hit you too hard. But mainly, Zombies spawn WAY TOO FAST

I too bought this game 2 days ago just to play day z

Game is still just too damn easy with this patch. What we need is to spawn naked and bleeding with broken legs, with a couple dozen zeds after us. That would be much more realistic. All this running around with a flashlight just gives too much of an edge to the players. Sure now the zombies can see you from almost any distance, regardless of if your prone or crouching at all, and they can re-spawn instantly in vast numbers, and they hit much harder-but come on, you have bandages, painkillers AND a flashlight! Too easy. Maybe I'm just too hardcore for this mod.
