To easy to survive? You should wander into a city where every jerk, behind every corner can serve a bullet to your head. Sure i don't die by the zombies in the game, i really often proved that, but i allways die by some hidden freak who was just waiting for me idiot to get on the hospital roof for medical supplies. You are right, maybe i should not try this alone, but had you ever tried to establish a friendship in game? It's near impossible. Sure, you can come online with your real life friends and raid a server with them. 15 friends or more on a server are not to stop and they allways can hold a position till the fallen comrades are back and retake their stuff. But that is not the way the game should work.

You allways can be well geared in about 10 minutes if u wait for a victim and chop his head off with your hatchet. This will only promote the bandits who wont wait for 2 days to be well equipped. The faithfull, hard working guy who searched for 2 days to get his stuff will just be frustrated and quit playing. So that's not a really good solution for the pvp problem, if u wanna call that a problem...:cool:

Depends on the definition what is high quality. If everyone is friendly and just shitting in the woods we all will have the chance to finde rocket launchers, but no one will find food and drink? So we all die by starvation because we are to mercifull. What about the essentials u need to survive, like a hatchet or a box of matches? Are they high or low quality? Aren't bandages important enough to drop when i can have a javelin in case that no one shoot each other? So why do you need the javelin then? I guess just random loot spawn is much better. Btw tin cans are cool to distract Z's and essential, will i have a high quality tin can in gold then? :D

hmm, how do real zombies act? Like in movies or in left 4 dead? I guess no one can tell. So we can make them however we want. A good way to make the game more terrifying is to change the acting of the Z's. The walker should not be that fast but real tanks, only get killed quick with headshots, 2 or 3 bullets in the head - 8 to 12 in the body, and limbs, hmpf, no effect. To make it more difficult to hit them, change the animation, when they come closer let them sway more like a drunken seaman, upper torso and head allways in motion, but let them come straight, the shortest way. On the other side it could be possible that you also meet walker who can be really swiftly like raging furys, but don't take that much bullets before they fall. The "monkeys" should not be that noisy, more sneaky with a stretchy slow animaton, propably from a chameleon and able to chase you by making leaps of 2 or 3 mtrs. And last but not least the crawlers, they should act like traps or mines. Just lay on the ground seems to be dead and if you come to close they attack you with a hissing sound, that alerts other Z's, crawling that fast, the only way to get away from them is to run, much like a crocodile. Perhaps they could make you fall with their attack and they follow you as long as you are in their sigth. And yeah, all three kind of Z's should spawn everywhere, of course still most in the city. And isn't that hard enough you can mind about infections that turns you into a zombie and the only way to get rid of it is an injection in your spinal cord, what of course can't be done by yourself. The threat of creeping zombies, the increasing ammu need and the possibility to be infected should ensure that players team up. Because a single player has not as much ammunition slots and still no eyes in his back. sorry, bad english i guess u will get what i mean.

much to complex, i think its enough to implement a kind of fleshwound you are not able to take care by yourself. Someone else have to bandage you, that should make it.

If u want shoot a couple things u will die, because u attract Z's. Grab yourself a hatchet and go for meele, its the best u can do at the beginning. Also, highest priority has morphine, because if u break a bone in most cases u are dead. The tools with the highest priority are a hatchet, a hunting knife and matches. Stay alert, allways be prepared to run but never run if its not necessary, that means don't crawl to much u wont get up fast enough if they get aware of you. If u press 2x W u sprint, that is a bit faster for a short time than just running. Run through barnes, with doors open at both sides, that slows Z's down also run up hills zigzag that are to steep to run them straight and run through bushes as often u can. good luck :D

Ich will auch ein Team und Freunde, hab aber leider kein Mikro :-/ Ich hab allerdings eine Menge Tricks drauf und eine super Operations Basis :P
