They changed it back if you actually bothered to read the whole thread.

So you agree that they wouldn't fit in the sandbox genre.

Rocket said that if the SA did well they would consider it.

That's a lil far fetched.

I don't because as you said "it is in your head". You cannot have scenes like the ones in the comic without specifically creating/scripting zombie waves etc.

I've seen and read it.

and what is "done correctly" ? I agree it would be fun, but if it is any more than a building that zombies happen to be inside of then I don't think it fits really.

having a world to explore is exactly what it is about. having puzzle like mechanics don't fit to me. something like A2, fine. but it doesn't sound to me that that is what the op is suggesting.

niche perhaps, but a huge niche at that. agreed it is incredibly popular, deservedly so imo, but I don't think that it has paved the way for DayZ.

I think that zombies were incredibly popular well before the walking dead comics were written. I think that dayz would have happened regardless. I think that inferring that a zombie tv show, that admittedly did very well, is directly responsible for the allowing the inception of DayZ is just pure conjecture, and wrong at that. There have been zombie books/films/etc/etc/etc forever. Saying that because the people you worked with knew very little about zombies before Walking Dead is proof that the Walking Dead brought it to the masses is pure fallacy.

Are you actually serious? Sorry but that's pure idiocy.

You mean like this? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/103845-rolling-changelog-for-community-builds/ And the github...

everything suggested in this thread goes pretty much directly against the ethos of a sandbox game.

sandbox game....

Entirely disagree. As do the devs it seems.

Aye, removed in the decent ones.

Do that and watch the servers slow to a crawl and fall over.

i do love the m14

Each to their own, it's a sandbox game. People should be able to play how they like. This kinda change directly, and catastrophically, changes lone wolf play.

gg lone wolves

verify both through steam

lol? play on a proper server eh. shouldn't have to rely on map markers.

erm, physiology perhaps?

very easy choice

way to bring any sort of evidence
