night is one of the most useful things. It makes you far less vulnerable to zombies (not that they are all that much of a threat) and gives you a much better chance of looting and avoiding other players. yes NVGs on other players are a big advantage but they are rare and its also rare that you would be in the same place

at the moment the flash light doesnt agro, but imagine if it did and you were walking round in the same pitch black hearing zombies but not being able to see them, and being too scared of them to turn on your flashlight!

and i think thats where the problem is. The people who are only interested in a PVP shooter and not the survival element have it too easy at the moment because the zombies, apart from very rarely, are not a real threat. If they were and ammo was scarer (or damage lower god forbid!) then the thought of trying to shoot a player would be far less appealing. if we get to the point where there is an actual risk from shooting a player (or an zombie) then we will be on the way to a truly brilliant survival game

yeah just shoot or help. the trolling play of helping then random killing is pretty weak.

try this map http://dayzdb.com/map#3.106.098 should give you an idea of where to go.

logging out of the game totally, not just to the lobby and then coming back normally sorts it for me. but its true that its getting worse since the last patch.

certainly an interesting idea.

lol, this guy said it way better.

wow, 29 eh? A job? friends? regulary (?) sex? good for you, finished whining now?

you are playing the wrong game. you probably should have found out more about it before you wasted your time. you want quick cheap thrills? go play some casual drop in game like COD.

sorry but that just shows you haven't read up on the game. Rocket has been quite clear that they are not zombies they are infected humans. And there is nothing superhuman about being able to see its pretty basic

Thats the point, it should be risky to go in a building looking for loot and get trapped there by the horde. its not OP its the way it should be, the zombies have been so little risk up until now. Also you dont need to go to the forest to lose them, they are way easier to lose now. just run round a couple of corners and they are gone.

they are infected, NOT undead. They dont have rotting eyes. If you can see them why should they not be able to see you?

its the scope. the M24 has a proper Mildot scope so it can be used much more effectively (by those that know how).

its like they are trying to make the zombies in a zombie survival game something to worry about..... Zombies that are looking your way will see you from along way away in day light, at night you can almost walk into them if you are quiet enough. You just need to think more and watch what you are walking on, different surfaces not only make more noise but also make you more visible. poeple need to stop just running around spamming bullets and think more about where they are going and whats around. This is not a pick up and run like an idiot game, its a tactical thinking game. And for those who will say "well I was crouch walking!!11!!" crouch on a road in day light and I guarantee a zombie will spot you, crouch in the grass and you are probably safe. Also zombies are way way easier to lose in the latest patch

eventually all of the debug monitor will be gone. best to get used to the idea now that you will only get a suggestion of cold etc

get a tin can, its not like there are none lying around....

you cant wear camo of any kind with a female character. there is no "camo'd woman" model in the game. this was one of the reasons i stopped playing a female character (was easier to tell who was who)

that's the point. going in a building to loot is risky as you can get trapped by a horde. that's how it should be!

No really good melee weapons?? the hatchet is almost a guaranteed one shot kill, silent, unlimited ammo (effectively) and you trip over them they are so common...

if you are in sight you are in sight, its pretty simple. I think you are confusing the basic ability of seeing whats around you with some kind of ESP. Being able to see a person, especially a moving person is a pretty basic ability

They did it to stop people spamming respawn to get a better spawn point. They want people to live with the random spawn they got

I find ammo for the DMR far more often the CZ, almost never find CZ ammo. I'd go M107/AS50 for day and DMR for night

The sight and hearing range does seem to have increase but it really only means you have to be a lot more cautious. Stay of the noisy tarmac road and run in the grass, stay crouched, angle yourself out of their sight line. Remember these are INFECTED not the undead, and anyway why sound zombies be slow shambling deaf and blind lumps? They are not natural so why would they have natural physical abilities?

when you stand in the open in day light zombies can see for a hell of a distance. By the sound of it where you were was high enough to give clear line of sight all around to the local zombies; they just could see you when before they couldnt
