I played alone for my first 50 hours until I joined a group. That breaking your leg is the only scenario where zeds are dangerous. Hell on my first day playing My leg was broken and I bled out. If I only have a lee enfield then you just use your pistol, out of pistol ammo use a melee weapon. The winchester is more common than the lee and the M1911 is pretty common as well. I would say more than the lee and those both 1 hit zombies. For your harder isn't the right option statement. I will admit I am talking purely about the veteran players for what do you do when you no longer have to fear zed? As the game stands it is great for new players and great for the learning curve but after you become a veteran the zombies become a joke. Yes you must think of new players but how long is it until that new player gains all the knowledge they need to make the zombies big teddy bears as well? The new players are being thought of, but what about the veteran players?

Couldn't kill anyone on COD so you had to come over to kill people on DayZ right?

M16 Acog M1911 0 kills 0 deaths and stacked up on everything else and camping out at Pobeda Dam and have been alive for awhile.

Holding out in a building if you are getting swarmed may not always be your best choice' date=' they can destroy some of them and then you are fuxored as well. [/quote'] That's true but you need not be in a building to kill the zombies. You can just back up outside and wait for their hit animation to play then shot them without being harmed for how it goes right now in alpha. I understand this and is one of the reasons why i never put it in my post because it probably is already being worked on.

Odd. There was a whole other page of posts on this thread but they must have been deleted because of the forum breach.

Previous roaming horde idea *take a look* - http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2604 Short and simple I'll explain this as fast as I can. I have thought this out and think it can add to the infected's leathiality. Right now we just have blood loss and the zombies hitting us. They chase us and we lead them into a building wait for them to slow and kill them. The players need to be more afraid of the infected and here is how they can absolutely fear them. Make the infected bite once in awhile causing the virus to begin killing you off slowly. This can be added with a radioactive symbol on the hud to the right and etc... After the player is infected they then will be forced to find a vaccine shot most or slowly die. This is a great way to make the infected much more feared and will add to the difficulty of surviving but not make it to difficult with the infection taking a long time to kill the player. *For you story buffs* Vaccines could have been made but only by a small fraction of what was needed. Pros - Infected more feared - Player forced to explore for vaccine - More immersion - More Difficulty - Carebear tears Cons - Carebear Hate Previous roaming horde idea *take a look* - http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2604

Yes but you just needed to explain your idea better. A disease/infection that the player can get by being attacked but make it less of an occurrence so its not annoying. Then make them find a vaccine in hospitals and such.

Well it wouldn't matter if they were dead. Its still an infection that can lead to the player losing control aka dying and the story can always be mended to the gameplay needs. @ the above comment about being an infected. It would take much to long to find another player and there are many negatives to actually turning into an infected.

Sigh, after feeling accomplished for surviving a week and a half I die in the most embarrassing and unexpected death possible (for me). In realtime it probably came to about 35+ hours. I was in the empty warehouse with two floors in stary sobor. I'm laying prone on the second floor being careful not to reveal myself to hostile players. When it happens. I ht the E key while prone on accident which makes me roll under the rails and off the walkway and leads to m death with 430 zombie kills and a long time surviving. I would have at least been ok with dying while fighting off bandits or some massive horde dies or a sacrifice death, but me causing my own death with the press of a button. I will be taking a break from this game for a litle bit after a long well lived life in chernarus. So, am I alone with an embarrassing death like this or has anyone else shamefully died like me.

430 with over 200 headshots. Then I died in a terrible way. Find out how here. http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=3260 Really sucks starting back at 0.

If the Zed A.I. was put onto each server like it is then a random occurring formation of infected that travel around the map would be possible.

Me and my group had Two UAZ's and i was carrying to full jerry cans back to them after i just put my inventory in the UAZ to take them. Then it crashed... What happened to this server and is it coming back online soon? Did it change names?

Glad you responded, thanks for the reply.

Only have been playing DayZ for about 3 days but man has it been a blast. This so far the most intense situation that I have experienced so far. I will have the video up soon but Uploading it to youtube is taking forever. So for now I give a few screenshots for The Run. I would like to thank Zeke. He tried to save me but the inevitable couldn't be stopped. Steam - I_Guts_I

Yes, OVW is a great group to play with. Only joined them today but we already killed 5 bandits with our small group that we have, and got a good amount of supplies and weaponary. If more join we could potentially Start getting vehicles/helicopters and run rescue missions for survivors in need of help and hunt down bandits.
