PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ)

That sorta cracks me up. Here you are running along nicely and you see a flick of a hand , you hit the button and OOOHhh crap , hahaha run forest run. In reality they are stupid as in no brains so are just acting on instinct , so its pretty easy to outsmart them. Then double back and kill em dead

Mehh i reckon they are ok, ended up outrunning them , still bleeding..... This was after id killed two with my bare fists

Lost two tents so far in my own testing, out of the way too. Ive seen another couple but whats the point. Hey Devs. To be able to play the game how you want it played , tents have to be able to stay , not vanish

Haven't seen much at all in police stations since .55

I hear what you are saying. We have to remember this is just over half way in alpha, these are the sort of things that will have to be sorted by the devs. Who will buy a game that is brutal from the start and you struggle to stay alive, not many. Yes they will fix it ( if they haven't already made their money). Remembering this is still in Dev mode, just run forest run, use it as a test to see how far you can get, i did that alot , a hell of alot , died and did it again over and over .

Maybe take anti biotics if you have them

And ill be set up watching you in my scope with the cross hairs between your eyes just as you take their gear and laugh to yourself as you see your own i am dead screen. Enjoy knowing your being watched :thumbsup:

I thought that too for a bit , but i have so many supplies now its not funny, almost thinking of re opening one of those supermarkets to share the stuff out. Im at the point where i have to leave food and drink because i cant carry it all. I am liking it a lot, now if only the tents and stuff didn't disappear

Im looking forward to meeting newer spawns, i am geared up in a big way with mosin, long range scope , plus heaps more stuff all obtained since the new release. When i meet the newer people i will give them food and whatever help i can without putting my own survival at risk

Nope my tent is gone. >:( Glad i did it for a test, damn if this games wants to promote survival then fix stupid stuff like this , otherwise we may as well go back to KOS crap

Ill have to look for one , never have before. Possibly needs more, or as you get older the loot gets progressively harder to locate as it is now. I'm doing ok for now though

Its happened to me alot. I will log out safe and geared and then when i go back in i will be a new spawn on the same server. What settled me is that i went to another server and i loaded as my full character again, hmmm. I went back to the original one i played on most of the time and i loaded back in normally. Stuff happens like this when its a remote system and its really up to connections to make things right, they do all sorts of weird stuff.

Well it was a few interesting dayz. Still on who i had before the new release, but moved on from where i was to another place. I hold up there for a bit and then headed off with my cow meat , mmm its so lovely raw. Ive been able to figure the new zombies out, geez they make some sick weird noises when you keep up on them. So i was at a well and having a sip even though i have two canteens full and then , i see a zed, WHAT? it frightened the carp out of me , but it hadn't seen me. I went prone and dropped it , but to my surprise two more has seen me and were "quietly" running full speed creeping up on me. One panicked AK mag later >:( and im running into the bush with 3 more on me, ooooh not good :o , eventually i outran them , but because they were between me and where i wanted to be i doubled back. One was roaming the woods now, so i stalked it, putting trees between me and it and then when i got close enough to guarantee a head shot without it knowing, i took it out. :thumbsup: Rather than go back in to the others as my ammo was low i turned and ran back into the bush. A few minutes later i came across a nondescript house and found a tent in there. oooh goody. The last tent i put up disappeared on me so i went back out into the forest and pitched the tent, lets see if it survives. I put a couple of things in there just to test it out, i guess i will see if it stays. I have more than i had before .55, but i need a couple of things to give my character a 10/10, for now its a 7

Put a tent up and put stuff in it, will be interesting to see if it stays or goes, so far it stayed there. Not too worried about the gear, nothing worth keeping just a test really

Well here is what Ive been doing in this new build, as annoying as it is with no food about it's not all that far from what i was doing anyway. All the pics are from the new build Ready There is dinner AIM Time to Carve up And what i ended up with. It takes some effort, it did help i was able to have a bit of gear before the change that let me overcome the no food issues. Plus if need be i can fight to protect myself.

Loot is gone cos there is none around now. Not that its been picked clean yep i lost my tent too and what was in it, so now picking the thrid tree from the let to drop everything to keep it safe.

Only thing for people that haven't got any supplies is getting them in the first place. Ration Packs??? This character has been alive for three days and luckily had some food before the switch. All the other gear Ive found in the new release. Zombies, well they are no reall worries for me, i can creep around them, the new stealth model works well, even in the case of the unfortunate bovine in the pictures.

geez ive never had that sort of ammo and stuff , never been able to find the guns , wish i was as tired of it as you are

Exacly, yes fix the numerous AK47's around the tanks at the NWAF, like every tank? But dont replace it with purple dresses, really? The zombies are fine, its just the way they are working now are the issue. Ill be honest with you, this is becoming the game i wanted, not the crash and burn battle it out thing , but the non spawn of food is an issue, 4 towns today and nothing at all, not even in the supermarket ,odd police station or school, that's kinda weird. Ive found more buckshot than food, but that's fine cos i got a gun for it, if its still in my tent.

i was being hit by one meters away from me, i had to laugh a bit

Not sure why people complain about firefights, just stay away from the areas, easy. :D Let people play that way if they want. I outran a zombie earlier he got slower and slower at least when you shoot them they dont all come running , in finding them rather easy to avoid but when i cant , they way the coding is now regarding creeping around i can move in behind them and give them a load of buckshot to the back of their heads. The major issue will be new spawn , they need a ration pack to survive getting out of those full looted cities now. Ive just put down my tent and lets see how that turns out, put down the shotty in it but didn't dare pack the ak47 in there, both of which i got in this new build by searching, very much like what i was doing anyway so no real change here. I just started hunting bandits cos they dont give people a go to at least try to survive, all they are interested in was camping on their high value spawn area and killing all they saw. Havent seen as much on the servers anywhere now, i think some interest has dropped. If anyone wants the other way of playing they can always get arma2 and the add on .

"Ok, I believe you,,, even if thousands don't..." Really. ? Not once had i said that the zombies were bad where have you been in that cocoon? Honestly i am moving around rather well, but i dont need to find old shoes on army tanks for god sake. Earlier i saw a back pack a cereal box and a rifle on a wood stove in a house all screwed up. And really one hit from a zed and my leg is broken after i hit it 5 times with an axe, wow now thats a good change isnt it?

In reality there is no reference in making them other than movies, that's it, so you can go from total all out craziness with WWZ or in the total other direction and go with the Death Valley zombie. :rolleyes: Personally somewhere between the Omega Man ( classic) 28 days later and the will smith "remake" of Omega man " I Am legend". All Movies had military type weapons in them and where all available for use. Omega man was very much like what the last version of dayz was apart from the zombies, in omega they were more mutant people with decent intelligence, pasty faced though. In that movie he looted and got what he needed when he needed it to protect himself until they finally over ran him, they only came out at night there. I Am legend. Whilst a poor choice of lead actor the movie was a good redo of the Omega man movie. This movie was more like what Dayz is , over grown cities wild animals and zombies that had a collective intelligence , or what seemed to be until a leader emerged. Again Military weapons and looting and fortress making to protect himself. Zombie hives, super abilities and harder to kill within reason. Then 28 day later, was super intense at times but they were infected people not zombies. DAYZ has gone down the route of the 28 day infected person zombie. They are fast strong and can open and close doors climb laters etc, "They are Not zombies" The standard cinematic zombie is depicted as a slow and clumsy creature, the Infected are very strong and fast-moving. There are normal zombies and runners, and that makes sense , but zombies that are more like an infected human dont make sense in a zombie survival game. Oh zombies in I Am Lagend can scale walls , dont need a ladder but they can be killed in one shot. The recipe is already out there especially in Omega man and i am legend in the looting survival area. as well as some zombie actions. Sometimes i wonder if Devs are in a cocoon and dont realise they dont need to re invent the wheel, around and around, just tweak it a bit :D

Same happening with an axe..... a lot harder to kill

sittin in the NWAF and was up on the first tier of the fire station tower and looking for a mosin scope then i hear a truck, then footsteps, then climb up the ladder to my level with me pointing a gun at him. He wasn't ready and i said dont even try it buddy, im only here lookin around. He must have carped his pants cos he fell of the floor and to the bottom of the steps dead!. I waited a few minutes o see if he had set up elsewhere and when there was no more sounds i went to look. This guy had coupled mags and an M4, his kit was full he could have blown a whole crowd away with what he had including me and he had a mask on, BANDIT!!!!!! GOTCHA :thumbsup: I didn't want his gun, nor his ammo and looked like he was server jumping to get gear , it was tainted with bandit stench.. So i chopped the heck out of him and ruined the lot :lol: , then took his truck and went a roaming. Died not to long after that but it was worth it, at least i probably stopped some poor souls being shot up for no good reason. :D
