Hi All, I'm seriously confused as to what is going on right now, Moreso I believe it's down to me but regardless what the hell is going on? I've been a big player of the mod putting in day(z) of time and I jumped at the chance when the standalone arrived in alpha, Now before I say any more.. I DO understand this game is in alpha and as such will be very buggy. Anyway, Today I came back after a little gap *(Due to zombie behaviour) and start up on the beach as usual. No zombies around at all.. I see a construction site and a few of the long barns. I run full sprint to them knowing i'm okay as i see absolutely nothing around, Search the construction site and find ZERO items.. not one! I quickly move to the barns in crouch knowing Zeds could be anywhere nearby, As I get to the gap in the wire fence i spot one, just one. staring away from me at the stone barn. I quickly get into crawl and continue through the first wooden barn glancing through the gaps to see if i was causing any alert. Nothing. I keep moving still hoping for any loot at all and onto the second barn still in crawl. I take the side door out of the right side and then crawl along the grass up to the big door of the second barn. Knowing i'm a MASSIVE distance (100Ft Easily) away from the zed i get up into crouch. I'm only just able to see maybe a hand-sized area of the zed. (i'm still 100 feet away and out of sight).I take ONE STEP in crouch and this thing comes full sprint at me! what the fuck?!?! I raise my fists as it appears and one punch it to the ground with only taking a single hit. "My clothes feel damp" GREAT! I'm bleeding! I turn and full sprint into a field zigzagging the trees, using free look i spin the camera to see the zed getting up and about 100 feet again.. STILL following me! I can't believe this! I'm quickly gaining ground and the zed is falling back. I duck round behind a house but keep moving in crouch and dodge another few houses... Sitting in the corner finally away from it i start to patch myself up. I think I've alerted another one as I hear shreiking from my left. I prepare my fists.. and who would you guess? the EXACT SAME ZED. I swing I run I alert more.. I swing.. I run. I pass out. "You're Dead" oh thanks! I loved the mod and I had no problem navigating around zeds and basic survival even without any teammates. I'm all for taking any tips or pointers as it has been a while since I played this but it does seem a regular occurrence that I'm faced with unstoppable zeds and NO LOOT. I'm stuck. I WANT to love this game like I did the mod but the standalone just isn't doing it. Things like this happen every single spawn and it's becoming tiresome. Sorry for the long read.
