    You're half right. Zs are not much of a challenge and they should be the #1 challenge.

    Yeah, i thought that too. I would love to see headshot-zombies only, and maybe add something like shooting of their arms and legs to make them less of a threat. Of course, we wont see stuff like that in the DdaZ alpha, but we can hope. i think that this would give the zombies more balance in the midd- to late-game

    Hello Guys,

    so here's the story:

    Me and my buddies (in total we were 4 players) had some bad luck finding a good server, so we eventually went on one with only 5 other people on it. So we made our way through the map, found some nice gear, nothing to fancy though (AKM, G17, M1014, M1911, Winchester, stuff like that). Food and drinks weren't an issue due to hunting animals and water bottles. We were well armed enough, that we could go through Electro, killing every zombie, and have no problems at all.

    So, after that (we've been playing for like 3hours) we realized that it got quite boring once you had the midd-game gear, since most midd-game weapons are 1-hit-kills for zombies and have large magazines.

    Due to the low amount of other players its was almost impossible to find other players, and even more they would probably not be bandits cause of the low player count. Said so, zombies were the only threat, and even they weren't a challange anymore.

    We logged off, and went on a full server, and half an hour later, two of us were killed by bandits, while the others were running for their life. And though me and my buddy died, it was more interesting and challanging and fun, than playing without bandits.

    In Conclusion, without the threat of other players killing you the game becomes boring after 2 hours, since it gets just so easy to deal with the zombies. I personally think that Bandits play a huge part in the DayZ experience, since it really simulates the social interaction during an apocalypse.

    So the next time you get sniped by bandits, remember: Even though it sucks ass that you just died, without the possiblity of it to happen, it would be boring.

    What do you guys think about this?

    So, I teamed up with 2 guys, and we would maybe need another 2 people for a nice group of 5. We use Skype for communication and mostly play at evening times, GMT. Our goal is to survive and get some awesome gear, maybe a vehicle. If necessary, we kill other people, but not if we can avoid it. message me, if ur interested, or add me on skype: colinphil1

    Just want to add some math about dayz deaths:

    there have been roughly 15 million survival attempts so far.

    subtracting the number of alive players right now, like 0.5 million

    u have the number of deaths of all players ever, which is like 14.5 million.

    so, and out of these 14.5 million deaths, only 2.1 million murders occured, which leaves 12.4 million deaths by zombies.

    so, in conlusion: u only die every 6th time because of a player, and the other 5 times through a zombie.

    and i personally think thats totally acceptable in a zombie-survival game, where everything is allowed.
