Set your video memory to "Default"

So much fail in this thread. Guys, IT'S A JOKE. /facepalm

Go into your advanced video options and set video memory to "Default" (Believe that's the option, can't check right now), and it gets rid of them.

This. In my opinion, all buildings should be explorable. Would add A LOT of depth to the game.

VERY nice! Now this is awesome PvP , much better than the mass "Look at me snipe noobies!" videos! What server do you guys play on?

Here is a game with faster paced action and guns that shoot faster: http://www.callofduty.com/ Enjoy!

Everything I've learned from equipping a hatchet as a weapon to using my flashlight is from youtube videos lol

2 Words: Not allowed.

While # 1 or 2 (to me) isnt reason enough to quit, it is a gripe / comment put forth from an alpha tester to the dev's. Obviously the FPS and animations need to be cleaned up. Point# 3 is the key point. It is the community as a whole, and I've only played for a few weeks now, but in those few weeks I've seen the popularity of the game go from 400k spiking upwards of about 700k now... and the community is getting worse and worse. The CoD kiddies are coming out in droves, which is expected, and the whole "shoot first ask questions... NEVER!" mindset is (in my opinion..) not what the game is about. I don't think the dev's thought "lets make a realistic shooter and toss in zombies! YEAH!" They obviously wanted player interaction , otherwise there wouldnt be the direct voice chat option at all. Just my thoughts anyway. I'm not about to quit, not really close to it yet. I'm still enjoying the game but when you do run accross the tools who just axe you in the back right after you walk into the first town , and loot literally nothing but your bandaids/painkillers, its a bit tiresome.

LOVE this idea. Combine bandages + wood = splnt. Allow prone only to prone/crouch only (so you're still "hobbling")

This 100%. When I first started, EVERY single zombie I saw, I hit prone and crawled around. Now i know how to somewhat gauge their aggro (even if it is a bit twitchy) , and how to escape them. I thought when I started playing this game if I didn't find an axe within 5 minutes, I may as well restart... lol not anymore.

The only "improvement" i would give the day z zombies/infected is clean up their animations. When they run... I honestly hear the benny hill theme song in my head: http://youtubedoubler.com/4zzm Their attacking is very unclean, the lines they run are... ridiculous (ive seen them go in circles for about 30+ seconds before even moving towards a player). It also makes shooting then and even trying to melee them SUCH a pain. Maybe slow them down to 80% of their run speed, make their running strides look more realistic, and their attacks smoother and I'd be super happy with that.

I'm very on the fence about this. While I, personally, want to encourage player interaction, I find the game in it's current state very difficult to do that. I see a lot of people saying "the only reason people dont kill each other now is because of laws, society, etc." This is false. It's not human nature to want to murder people with no cause. To defend yourself? Sure. But in most situations people would sooner threaten than kill. It's part of the moral consciousness of being a human that puts us apart from animals. I acknowledge that yes, this is a game and there is no real 'punishment' or reason to not kill somebody, and I've only been playing for the last 2 weeks but this game went from 400,000~ players to close to 700,000 now and in the last 2 weeks of my limited experience - I have seen the community collapse as a whole. 2 Weeks ago, me and a survivor spawned close to each other by Komarovo. We stuck together until we both found an axe each and even then, progressed east to Cherno where we got seperated, but there was a comradery to our temporary alliance. I have many other fond "memories" from hanging around a hospital making friends, to helping each other in supermarkets (sharing food) from 2 weeks ago vs today. On monday this week I started fresh after getting killed and found a guy who had an axe who was fighting off zombies. After he killed them I ran up and saw he was bleeding so i offered to bandage him up and he accepted (think he was going a bit gung ho on the zombie killing if he used his bandage up). I told him I'm unarmed so can I follow him around and help aggro zombies / kite while he kills them, he had to have been at about half life with the amount of Zed corpses around him. He agreed and seemed pretty enthused by the offer. When we went into a building I mentioned "Hey ! I think I found a handgun" and started to walk over to it, as I knelt to pick it up, i got axed to the back of the head by the guy I was "working with" :/ If he would have simply said "Put the gun down... " or "hey can I have the gun and give you my axe?" I wouldnt have had an issue with that at all. Nope, just out right murdered for no reason after playing with each other for the last 30 min. Last night I started new after killing myself when I broke my leg and couldnt find any morphine. I started in Elektro so I crawled around, and saw a few zombie corpses, so I called out on voice "Anybody here? I'm a friendly, new player, no weapons - I have bandages/painkillers if you need them..." No reply, I crept into the building and began inspecting zombie corpses taking a can of beans here, can of soda there... until I got axed in the back. Guy didn't say a damn thing, just killed me *sigh* Maybe it's the popularity the game has been getting, which I think is a good thing, but it's getting a bit out of hand and the average players mindset has shifted from "work together... but be caustious" to "TRUST NOBODY! Kill on sight" I play on european servers at night (cause I hate night time alone lol) and I find this problem isn't so prominent on euro servers as they are on CAD/USA servers. I find this game has attracted a lot of the immature CoD players.
