OP must have gone to Green Mountain.

You're only playing about 10% of the game on 2% of the map.

DayZ, the worst place to meet your mate.

I might have some tonight. I need barbwire and tank traps. I can also get pretty much every bit of car gear needed for repairs. Let me know.

Maybe a clever hacker? Seems odd both incidents happened on that spot but I don't climb that ladder often.

Ah, there are rumors about you cops in New Boston, Texas. Is it true? Is Tyler Durden building an army of survivors?

I'd rather the patch be tested completely than it come out because a bunch of people refuse to find a solution to their problem.

hacking cunts. Whitelists, here we come!

I'd rather he do what he's doing than waste his time in this forum.

The best way to lose zombies is to find a series of pine trees with branches all the way to the ground or a series of large bushes. ZIg zag through them while staying as close to the center of the tree as possible without hitting it. By the third or fourth tree the zombies will lose interest in you. You need to be standing and running for this to work. Every once in a while a single zombie will be more determined than others. If you can't kill it then you need to do the tree thing again but this time make a big change in direction when the zombie can't see you. You can even try making a u-turn at the last tree. Make sure you're not running on concrete or hard ground at this point as they can hear that too. It helps if you use the number pad to look behind you while running. This way you can time things better. Once you master this you can run through towns like a champ and not worry a bit about zombies. You can also throw tin cans and bottles to lure zombies away from your path. Everything else you listed sounds more like lag or maybe players kiting zombies towards the spawns. Look for the lowest latency possible when choosing a server. Since you're new I'd avoid highly populated servers. Get a hatchet, go to your inventory, right click on it, select 'remove from toolbelt', reload :) and now you're ready to at least defend yourself indoors. Don't crawl unless you're worried about players or want to roleplay or something. When you come up to a place like a barn, wait in cover. The zombies will spawn, if they haven't already, and slowly move away from the structure. That's when you can crouch walk (or even stand walk if you're brave) to the barn. Running makes noise so only do that on soft grass or when you're safe from zombies.

^ failed spam bot?

I bet the hackers on the forum are fappin hard to all these threads. Keep feeding them, maybe they'll go away.

Some of the things you said only encourages troll replies. For example, "Until the game becomes stable, I refuse to play it." That's asking for replies like "no one is forcing you to play."

Shoot them in the head.

I had a 20 minute timer once. I just opened a browser and read the news.

I don't have these glitches so there must be something you guys can do to prevent it right? EDIT: It's been two days. It's not the end of the world. Anyone flipping out over a patch needs to take a break from this game anyway.

Stopped reading. We're no the bosses of the devs and "target" date doesn't mean it HAS to come out on that day. Sometimes you can.. you know.. miss the target.

I imagine it'll make an impact but I only really need 2-3 mags. I don't really need to shoot zombies and players don't take full mags.

You're still new and you're still learning what to do and not to do. Learn from these mistakes. Blood, it's not that big of a deal. If you think it's unrealistic, try gashing a hole in your arm and then run a few kilometers. Blood is essentially your hitpoints and you must remedy injuries with bandages. If they just called it hitpoints then I doubt anyone would be taking it this seriously. The map you play on doesn't support several million people and not every place on this planet has a hospital or clinic on every corner. Broken legs suck but they're rare. Next patch will give you a way out. Tin cans and junk. Everything has it's use. Tin cans can distract zombies and it's really funny to throw glass bottles at players. Chemlights are not something you want to carry while lit but you can use them to mark locations. Flares will attract zombies so it's best to throw them as a distraction but only if you MUST. Many towns near spawn are going to be looted all day long. Eventually only the junk no one wants will be found as more junk that no one wants spawns. There are some solutions to this if you search the forum. You dropped your gun and it vanished. Bugs and weirdness are common in alpha and beta tests. Next time open your pack and put it there. Just make sure you have enough space or the pack will eat your gun. Hopefully they'll get around to giving us the option to use the flashlight and a secondary at the same time.

I have a friend who heard stuff too.

How many "roses" per hour?

Those guys were terrible anyway. I feel bad for any of their fans that watched that and took notes. That Rocket fella dropped some good info though.

Hackers? In this game?!
