Yes it is! Moreover in DayZ you can forget to check the back seat!

Weird, not the shooting that is good, indeed hearing someone entering a car from a Moon-Earth distance and with a lot of vegetation in the middle. Hope for some sound environmental projection fix at least in the SA.

The real scary side of this story is: how it is possible to consume pistachios without a good strong ale!? Why in Cherno there are only EMPTY bottles?! Is it a pandemic apocalypse or the greatest epic world's hangover?

The only trolls I like are the dead ones...

In my opinion, already delivered a lot of times... Z's should be a threat especially for those people that choose a noisy approach to the game. Shooting everything (the other people or the tin cans or whatever) should cause Z's alert and a growing increase of their presence near the noise source. And eventually force the player to leave the area because of an intense and overwhelming undead/infected activity. Furthermore the capability to run indefinitely should be instead limited to a short while (with the obvious implications of doing it with a load on the shoulders). In my opinion KOS and other player's behaviours should be considered as an integral part of the environment. The most important thing is to be aware about the consequences of every action performed in game without the possibility to take advantage of every kind of game bug or glitch.

There's a plenty of it, idiots are everywhere, moreover their mothers are always pregnant. They are an integral part of the environmental hazards. There are too many stories about idiots and idiocy, in my opinion these stories are not well worth to be told. Take care and have safe trips in the Chernarus territory!

Another one, just to revitalize this almost dead thread...

Would be nice to have the possibility to get your rifle on a sling and to swap between: handgun main weapon melee weapon without the need to drop anything or to do the juggler with backpack and inventory...all in all for the handgun you actually have the holster, for the rifle there's a sling and for hatchet the toolbelt.

Yes, it is, and with a little bit of luck you can get back your ammo...

This one is one of the scariest pieces i've ever listened: This one is another good (good is not enaugh, it's only a pale adjective): Merged-Inception.

I have to add to the list this one happened to me a few days ago: Getting out from a Mi17 after an operational check. I suddenly found myself over the chopper rotor...Crack! Ouch! My leeeeeg!!! I crawled and started insulting a bunch of Z's, looking for an inglorious death...I did it!

About an half hour. I was in Berezino, and a Z knocked me down breaking my leg. Fortunately i was near the main hospital, so the path has been quite easy to me. The only weird thing was how I could break the hospital entrance glass without attracting hordes of Z's!

Make Z's a real problem for survival (for attacking players in big packs or for superhuman athletic performances, or both)...and possibly eliminate the pain in the ass hackers once and for all...

Awesome changes for this new update, but I'm disappointed about the Z's behaviour (the new attack radius is fine), now they are too easy to defeat, don't pack against shooting players or are not so attracted by noisy players for example, they are a at least more annoying than bees. In my opinion with weak Z's the gameplay is going to shift strongly in a PvP direction. Anyway thanks a lot for the great dev. team effort!

Never heard about pareidolia? ...all in all in a Z's world all could happen...

Yes, I agree. Players will not risk to attract an horde of Z's just for firing to another player, cooperation of small player groups will be the winning tactic for short term survival. The more threatening will be the Z's the more interesting will be the player to player interactions.

You are right. In my opinion this happens because Z's are still not a real threat, so people can easily get around almost without take care of them and can focus their action against other players rather than solve the problem of surviving the apocalypse. I trust the SA will capsize the actual mod situation making basic survival most difficult.

I hope SA will not have an end game...endings are almost always disappointing. The real taste of any game is the growing of the situation.

...maybe infection starts that way...

In my opinion zombies MUST be the main problem of any lone or small survivor group, problems arising from conflictual relationships between players should happen only for large, well organized groups...with all the consequences about betrayals and maybe the possibility to turn into personal advantage the use of the undeads to achieve own sordid personal targets. The Z's capability to run inside buildings and berserker-like behaviour will get an interesting SA.

I'll try to give my opinion about the bad things replying the points you stressed: 1) I agree with you about this point about the possibility to be hit by a Z while you are inside a vehichle. 2) When I think about a Z apocalypse I imagine a very bad situation. Try to imagine the amount of people of a small city or village, I suppose survivors could face a big number of infected, not only 5 or 6. Playing for the first time I faced a little horde, but for a while I was safe and I can get some item before leave the attack area. 3-4) I never knew a Z (I'm not so sure about some people I know... :)), so for my knowledge them could be as they are represented in DayZ. 5) Thank god that days are gone, forever I hope. The real weird thing is indeed that a player can run endlessly to flee away, in a real situation soon or late, willing or not, one must stop and face the unevitable. 6) I almost agree with you about this point, but if power systems doesn't work I suppose the blood bags should be totally useless because lack of preservation conditions at all (I could even talk about a scandal about infected blood happened in my country in the 80'...but this is not the right place to do it). 7) yes, I agree. I usually play alone and I waited for at least 2 minutes before be able to log off without aggroed Z's in the neighborhoods. 8) I don't miss the peripheral dots, especially when you are overwhelmed by a firmament of those, especially when them spots objects undoubtedly outside the peripheral visual range or even further. I suppose you understood that I like DayZ as a living hell. Bye!

I'm in mate. I particularly appreciated the Z's behaviour. I attracted a lot of them shooting with my M1911...I have made a rough time into an one way building. Z's should behave that way Thanks to all DZ team for their good job...SA will worth the waiting.

Great job guys, I can't wait for the new updates, carry on this way!

Yes, that's the real situation. But I remember a not modded zombie sandbox mission of ArmA II where sometimes near main cities or vilages the mission script randomly set up a zombie horde of more than 30 undeads chasing for players. It was not so framerate killing as one could suppose. But maybe for DayZ it would be a big problem...anyway I still hope for hordes in SA version, also to make PvP more interesting.

Zombies or Infected or whatever they are, who cares about it? The only thing that matters is to don't become their dinner because they are coming to eat you!
