I thought 90% of the replies on this thread would be "HURR DURR Dyno you're retarded you can't find a hospital you suck hurrrr," but at least a majority of you guys are in agreement with me that something needs to change. That's all I ask. Just change something so that it's possible for me to make it inland without breaking my bone every time I encounter my first zombie. That's what alpha testing is for! Hopefully Rocket sees this and the many other threads about it and comes up with an interesting way to fix it. Also, it's hard for me to keep going back and forth like this but I DO agree with you Pete. I like the layer of difficulty. It's just not balanced at all. Take a read through what I and others have had to say. You can keep morphine spawns the way they are, but make breaking a bone more realistic. If you're going to break bones every five seconds, then increase morphine spawns or increase the areas in which they can spawn. My problem isn't that bones break so easily or even that morphine is hard to find. It's that breaking a bone is a game-ending, random occurrence. When both of the above are true, a game-ending, random occurrence that you can't do anything about really starts to get on your nerves.

See, the hospital has glass that you have to break right? And to do that you need some type of gun right? I've made it to a hospital with a hatchet, but it just made the glass shattering sound and didn't actually break the glass. You guys make it sound like it's so easy to get to a hospital xP. Maybe it's easy to get there, but I have yet to even obtain a gun more than one life. I've spawned probably 15 times since I started playing, and I got a Lee Enfield once. Probably about 7 of those times I've gotten a hatchet, and the rest of those times I've died just trying to find a weapon. I'm fine with the above aspect. At least 10 of those 15 lives, however, I've had to respawn because I broke a bone. Wasn't even in any danger of dying, I simply broke a bone and didn't have morphine.

I agree with your fix as well. See, many people have great ideas I'm sure. Having a 50% chance to have a limb broken randomly just doesn't seem very realistic...or fun. I agree with random things happening in a game. I agree with unlucky things happening in a game. But when there's basically a completely random chance that you'll have to start your game over? And it's a really high chance? Come on now.

I agree. Obviously your average person isn't going to have morphine spawned in his barn, but then again morphine doesn't even "cure" a broken leg. So on a realism level, that whole argument goes out the window. I think they should have some kind of low, but possible, spawn rate in a lot of easily accessible areas as well, not just supermarkets. Not everyone can make it into a big town, as evidenced by the fact that at least 80% of my respawns since I've started playing have been a result of broken legs. Either that, or don't mess with the morphine spawn rate at all and make it only possible to break a bone below a certain amount of blood as I mentioned before. You guys have no idea how frustrating it is to play successfully for a few hours and be so into the game, then when the first zombie you ever get hit by breaks your bones, leaving you with almost full blood and a pack full of goodies, you have to respawn because there's nothing else to do. I'm not a pro, but people who aren't pros should have a shot at playing this game too.

Ok the problem is that I haven't the slightest clue where to find a crashed helicopter and I've never been able to successfully have both a weapon and be in a town with a hospital at the same time. My bones always break before then xD. I've had a weapon and not been in a town, or I've been in a town and not had a weapon, but never both at the same time. Everyone mentioned to go to a hospital, and yeah, duh. My problem is that I can't even MAKE it to a hospital.

I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't go around whining about it. It happens :/

It's a lot better but PieceOfDust is right. I was proning on the second level of a building and a zombie from the ground way out came running in. I didn't even crouch like he did. It's not nearly as bad as before, I think that was just a random occurrence, but it could still be improved upon. This patch finally is amazing though! My only complaint is that the second I got a gun some noob crossbowed me and left me to bleed out. I didn't even have ammo and he just ran off.

I'm pretty noob at this game and earlier today I had just gotten my first gun, but no ammo. I was in the Balota Airfield when I came across another player. I typed in the chat "Hey, I don't have anything I'm friendly." I guess that was asking for it, but he shot me with a crossbow and ran off. I had no bandages, no nothing. I just laid there and bled out. The dude was either a huge troll or he was scared and shot me out of desperation because I had a rifle, but either way it was retarded. Most of the people who play this game aren't huge dicks or trolls, they just, as the OP stated, have induced a shoot first ask later mentality out of fear. I'll never do that. I'll die time and time again, I don't care. If there's some small possibility that I may just find a friendly guy with whom I can work together, then I'll try to find it.

Bottom left.

I like starting without guns. I just wish it was actually possible to get one. It should take a decent amount of skill, strategy, and patience to do anything in this game, even to get an initial weapon. The bottom line, however, is that it is not possible whatsoever now. At least for me. When I did happen to get the axe that I did, it was only because some idiot ran past the warehouse and aggroed all of the zombies in the area. I guarantee I wouldn't have been able to get it if that person hadn't been so dumb. And to the person above: you're proving the point that we're trying to make. If the only way to get a weapon in this game is to use an exploit (how zombies cannot run indoors, get stuck going into houses, and cannot hurt you while you run), then the game is no longer working correctly. In my opinion, you SHOULDN'T be able to do what everyone is forced to do now and you should HAVE to do what is currently broken. It's completely backwards.

I agree completely with you about the way gaming is going jackknife, but maybe you should actually try playing the update before commenting like this. It's literally impossible to stealth now. I've tried to start 4 characters now and every time I make it to a town I prone around avoiding all zombies, staying out of their line of sight, not moving if I they look at me for a second, and all those things. That's not what makes them aggro, that arena of stealth still works. It's just random. I can be proning through a town nice and slow staying in the shadows then a zombie from across the town comes running at me and brings the whole town with it. These zombies are nowhere near me and there's no way in hell they saw me. I got an axe ONCE and managed to kill a couple before one broke my leg. Luckily I had found someone so I gave him the axe, died, respawned and came back to him just as he died, then, after logging off and logging back on, the axe disappeared. So I went a little further into town to try and find something, anything, only to accidentally fall off a roof and commit suicide. The roof was about as tall as me, mind you. I don't mind the falling off the roof part, that's funny and it was definitely my fault. The fact that it's impossible to find anything useful without aggroing a full town of zombies is what's ridiculous to me. I still have yet to even see a gun... I like hard games. When a game is impossible, however, it pisses me off. Make the zombies more powerful, add a ton to the servers, make it impossible to play this game alone, sure. But it's like the zombies all have a wall hack and every time I enter a town a big green sign pops up on me and shouts RUN OVER HERE AND KILL THIS NOOB HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A WEAPON! That's just not fair. BTW: I'm not in any way supporting a revert. I like the new zombies, I just think they aggro too easily. I actually like the new update as a whole, just this small part I dislike. I get that it's an alpha, all I'm pointing out with this statement was that, in my opinion, the zombies are currently broken and the poster above shouldn't be so quick to judge. Such is life in an alpha test.
