I'm surprised by the reaction this topic got (from what I read) I couldn't agree more with the thread. I played when you started with a Mak it was much better. It doesn't remove the fun of finding an early weapon because you still have to find a primary or you won't survive long, other players will eventually just out gun you, but at least when you got into something too hot you had something to fire back at. I see where most of you are coming from, you dont need it for the Zeds and i agree, you can sneak by and ditch them, but i think for other players, you need a starting weapon. Only today I met a player after making it clear i was approaching and was unarmed. They waited until i was walking by and killed me. Dont get me wrong I had no choice (bleeding heavily and no bandages which were behind him) but still, had I started with a weapon I could have afforded to go to cherno hospital or somewhere with greater risk. I think starting with some low level firearm really needs to be brought back. most people out to survive would obtain some crude firearm quickly anyway Just my thoughts anyway...

I think this topic makes a good point, but I don't feel as strong as you. Yes, at the moment I think the changes to zombies have left them somewhat 'oversensed' and hearing one footstep through 3 walls and going on the hunt is a rather annoying trait of theirs. But it is not impossible to get around. It's certainly closer to being realistic now, but now I think it's just on the another side of realism. Their senses need toned back the smallest amount, then I think their behaviour will be fixed :) just my thoughts...

I was actually about to make a topic asking for this but yours is here :) i think that would be a great add in for DayZ. I think it would add a small, new dynamic to the game and realism. Its only small but its a choice that players can make and something they can control :) just my thoughts anyway... Might even add another currency to trade in but i doubt they would be that common
