deadlyslob (DayZ)

When searching around YouTube for DayZ videos, I came across this "Undead Mod" which apparently inspired the DayZ Dev Team. Although this video seems very... cinematic and probably not actual gameplay... I feel this is what Dayz NEEDS to feel like. First, please take a few moments to reveiew this video: As you can see, firing a gun doesn't cause the zombies to charge at you from 500 meters away... of course, it catches their attention but you can easily evade them. However, increasing the amount of Zeds can also create a challenging experience and an ammo dump. Right now (in patch 1.7.2) the zombies don't feel right. They feel like supernatural humans that can rip you apart like Zombie Hulks, not like undead beings. If you knock down the crazy, and increase the amount of zombies I guarantee it will make the game feel more like a zombie apocalypse. In addition, increase the amount of zombies on the ground will make it easier for players to evade snipers and add a challenge to PvP. Obviously, this is a massive undertaking to do on LIVE servers and I am sure this is really where the team would like to take DayZ. The next big step for this mod would be to fix the Zed's because they are very very broken. PS: You could even keep a class of zombies that are runners but make them rare... because of how hard they can be to kill, Im not sure what your thoughts are about Zeds, but leave your suggestions here!

Weoooo, thank GOD for 1.7.2.2 ... I told people I wasn't insane... Zed's agro range was FUCKED :) Thanks Dev Team!

LOLOLOL... What I am wondering how you didn't get killed by your tent.

Sort of get the humor... but if they are on top of buildings on low pop servers... They're going to have a bad time...

It would be cool if you could have a Ham Radio at your camp that is connected to 4 walkies... but that would probably won't happen.

If you're writing this post just because you want to be apart of an exclusive club, you're going to have a bad time... Open testing gets shit done faster. Faster bug reporting, server stressing and feedback especially at this stage. In fact, I'm surprised that more games DONT try this. I do like what 343 is doing with Halo 4. Making live events and getting MLG players to test it, give feedback and they actually change the game because of it... So does DayZ :)

While live streaming this morning I agro'ed a bunch of Zeds... I was trying to lure them away with a flare and this happened..... Enjoy.

Yeah I suppose I may have failed on the thread title. Apologizes!

Well, You'd obviously not include auto-aim, so it wont make it THAT easy. Heck, they can make them run... just not that fast. It really takes from the realism in this game I think. Right now the Zeds are So buggy that I think I only play this game for the PvP. But mix in a little L4D action. Make it worth while to team up with other players and not just shoot them. And of course, this is all easier said then done. I am sure Rocket and the dev team have more than enough ideas right now and have a clear direction on where to take this game. I'd ever wonder if they'd consider making a kickstarter account.

Probably nowhere really. People with low textures will be able to see them in the tree line from over 1,000 meters away. The only place would be far outside the map. If thats still possible.

I want to report a hack (or even a squad of hackers) on the server Chicago 117 Time: 9:17 AM Eastern Standard Hacker Name: Nikolay I got up to the silo in Cherno and I seen him lurking around with an AS50. I shot him in the back with my Le Enflield and it said "Nikolay was killed by [TR] Deadly" He had everything in the game, NVGs, Dragonov, L85A2, AS50, Coyote Backpack and piles of ammo. I got shot in the back by an AS50 (presumed to be Nikolay again). When my friend logged into the server, sure enough Nikolay was back on the silo (in the mater of seconds) with the same gear. My friend shot him in the head again and it said "Nikolay was killed by [TR] Nemak" we took the AS50 and logged out. I am sure he wasn't the only one hacking on that server. If you need more information on this, send me a PM.

Lost my L85A2 Thermal and my CZ550... damn you Debug land.

First off, im not but hurt about this because I was looting Cherno. Even at night you might run into someone, but hopefully not like this. DMR and NVG's in hand, I was off to loot Cherno for some friends that were just starting the game. After looting through most of the pubs I decided to try the fire station to see if I can get an automatic weapon of some sort.. When I entered the building, I seen no one and I felt secure and safe until I seen a player spawn out of the corner of my eye, look at me and open fire instantly. I didn't have time to react because I wasn't expecting someone to just pop up out of thin air. I lost my DMR and NVG's. Someone is a lucky man. Until they fix the server hopping issue, always make sure to be on your game, I wasn't and I failed. Just wanted to share that with you. Can't wait to see how much trolly comments I get from "badasses" lolol.

I think the only way to really get people off the coast is to: A) Increase vehicle spawns B) Increase crashed helicopter spawns C) Make More Barracks Locations D) Increase loot spawns in multiply northern towns. But really, you can get a lot of amazing loot up north if you know where... but the International airfield is just fucked. Only then will people truly leave Cherno and Electro. But honestly, you can't get mad for dying in a high pop server inside Cherno.. I see it all the time and its silly.

Same.. I was on Canada 1 today and I was killed by a hacker killing people in the debug forest. Like WTF is going on Admins? Control your damn server.

.. You are so miss informed. YogsCast doesn't do CoD LP's. In addition, they are one of the reasons why Minecraft got huge. I wouldn't hate on them this might be a good thing. More noobs to kill. Im not a fanboy or anything because I dont watch their videos but I want to literally go out of my way to tell you your an idiot. Roganboards made me a ruthless motherfucker.

My friends and I decided to meet just outside of Chruno at the Vysota barn to start our loot run. My two friends had Winchesters and I decided to take watch over the barn as they looted from a nearby hill. When they entered the barn all I heard was gun fire and my friends both died. Apparently, someone was looting the barn, heard us kill a zombie and waited for us to entire the barn. I thought, "I need to kill this asshole before he loots and D/C's". I slowly made my way into the barn. Sure enough there he was crawling on the floor. Three shots with the AKM sealed the deal and he was down. My friends spawned at Elektro and were running in as fast as they could while I held down the barn. Soon I seen two randoms slowly approach the barn. One had an AKM and the other a Le Enfield. The one with the AKM entered the barn slowly and I shot him twice in the head (to make sure). The other tried to run around the barn and I caught him once in the side, knocked him unconscious and the Zed's did the rest. I thought that was enough action when another entered the barn shortly after unarmed. I didn't want to take the chance he'd loot a gun and try to kill me so after two body AKM shots and a Makorve to the head he was down. One of my friends entered the barn and we secured both door ways. Once our third buddy came in we grabbed our gear (and enemy Alice packs and loot) and got out of there. The spoils: AKM x1 AKM Rounds x3 M1911 x2 M19 Rounds x2 Alice Pack x2 (Our coyotes where in our camp) Food and Medical Supplies 4 Murders and 6 Total Kills across the board. It was so enjoyable that I might start PvP'ing on a high pop server soon. The good news is that I recorded bits and pieces of it and i'll upload it to my YouTube channel soon (YouTube.com/Deadlyslob) Thanks for reading and happy killing!

I agree. I would be lying if I said I never done it before. But after I did i felt so bad that i never done it again. This was my second day playing.

The new DDOS attack can also cause you to bug out and spawn in the debug land...

I really wanted to share this hilarious story with you all (and might even meet the person I unfortunately killed). Yesterday I was killed by another player up at the Airfield and had to start fresh. I found a hatchet and decided it was time to test my luck out in Chruno. While I was looting I began to hear shooting that sounded like a suppressed weapon and darted into the nearest building I could find. I hung out at the door way, hatchet in hand and waited. Every time I the player fired his weapon it was followed by "player has been killed" so I knew if he seen me I was toast. After a few minutes I decided i'd take a look outside to see if I can locate the player to evade him. Sure enough out of the corner of my eye I saw a player in a Ghillie that was sitting along a fence facing the opposite direction. I then realized "I could kill this guy if I tried.. I have nothing else to lose" . I ran outside and started to charge at him, Hatchet in hand. I noticed he wasn't aware that I was on my way to make his end. I came up behind him and with two hits in the back of the head, he was down and I was able to loot his body. The spoils: M4A1 Camo SD x 5 Clips M9 SD x 6 Clips Every Tool (GPS, Map, Watch, Compass, Entrenching Tool, Toolbox, Hunting Knife, Matches, Binoculars etc) Coyote Backpack (x24 slot) Car parts (I threw away.. obviously) Beans and Water (x3 x3) I was a happy guy. It was probably my first actual kill on an experienced player. I still have those guns and supplies today and I've been through Churno and the Airfield. Cons: I am way to attached to my gear to the point I would do anything not to lose it.. which has caused me to do some really terrible things that I deeply regret. Dear Ghillie Guy, Sorry i had to axe you in the head but you had your guard down and you were killing on sight. Your gear has gone to good use. I would have recorded this with Fraps if I wasn't on my laptop. If you want to see me use the hear in action here is video proof that I have the gear above: Thanks for reading.
