I agree that the zombie mechanic should be changed, the biggest issue in the mod at this stage that the zombies play a to small role in the whole world, even the bandits "problem" would be solved if a bigger amount of zombies would spawn on the map in a way that there would be less reasons to kill a player, but rather team up with them to go loot a town that would be overrun with zombies, that should be the biggest threat in the zombie apocalypse a huge amount of zombies in 99% of the work in zombie fiction the zombies outnumber each human 3000 to 1 where in the game theres barely 10 zombies for each human in a world of that size (the biggest i seen was 1000 zombies for 50 people and that is a rare sight),it doesn't really matter if the zombies move slowly or fast(even dough the current way they move is rather hilarious) what matters is that there must be more zombies than the number it is currently, the mod should look like this http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/18/1336023506-Dayz2.jpg http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/18/1336023500-Dayz1.jpg [Pictures taken from Day Z screenshot competition] and not like the empty world that it is now where the biggest concern is keeping your can of beans.
