oh man v1.7.1 is probably the greatest thing to ever happen to dayz. Not only do you spawn with nothing to add to realism but you're also fucking if 1 zombie starts to attack you because my character is to retarded to swing a stick/fists to fight him off. its so realistic they should change the character skins to have baby heads because that's what we are playing right? babies vs. super zombies snorting bath salts... right?

I think it should go back to how it was. a lot of players that say "finding weapons isn't hard" don't take into account that its not finding the weapons that is hard, its avoiding zombies with perfect eye sight. Because once you pull a zombie your screwed and have to die and start over again

YES or No

yeah i died and respawned with nothing, now getting gear/weapons is next to impossible

agree right now its unplayable as a freshly spawned player

NO unless you add melee weapons keep the gun/ammo for now

with the new update here I'm seeing mixed reviews about the no weapons on spawn and I may have a solution. If you want to make the game realistic by removing the gun and the equipment from the start, at least make it so we can punch zombies or use some kind of melee weapon(s). I do like the challenging zombies, however when you are trying to get a weapon from a town that has an abundance of zombies without any self defense is next to impossible. Not only is it a pain in the a$$ but think of the hardships players will come into when they spend a lot of time trying to sneak past zombies with perfect vision and finding a weapon just to get sniped / killed by a hacker and having to start over again with nothing. If you were able to start off with a club or making the hatchet a melee weapon also (because they are everywhere) would be nice. PS. WTF is with the super zombie speed, trying to outrun them is impossible yet alone trying to hide from them in buildings. Because if you run into a building with zombies and manage to prone and hide, they just stand there by the door forever making hiding useless unless they go back to patrolling.
