Well we all have ways of luring players to their deaths don't we? Well here is mine. I make a campfire near a place where noobs go alot. Now i wait for them to use it *meaning they have food on them* when they do i shoot them grab their food eat it and move somewhere else. I don't shoot random people who COME TO the campfire though unless their armed. Its a good way of farming food and loot. *insert your tactic bellow*

Well their called Noob traps for a reason. You don't help for noobs and their almost alawys in a open feild with a sniper in the woods.

Why are there two of these? I only posted one.

WUT? You mean world of warcraft? What have you been smoking!? Bodyarmor=wow. I am sorry good sir but I do not understand.

The devs are fixing the issues that were mentioned here.

slyguy its temping to ignore but i feel the need to inform the uneducated. I started this forum hoping to get people sharing their ideals on what could be done and they would want in the dayz beta. Instead i get everyone says the game thing. PS: Share your ideal for a fix that wont make dayz to easy. Maybe we will get a good one he might actually use in the gam

Sorry shadow its just this happens every time! "Lets get some ideals in here!" "....HEY YOU KNOW THEIR ALREADY FIXING THESE RIGHT!? JUST LETTING YOU KNOW! IN CASE YOU DIDN'T! SO I AM JUST GOING TO SAY THAT INSTEAD OF TELLING YOU SOMETHING INTERESTING!" *pulls hair out*

Is everyone just going to say "THEIR FIXING THE ISSUES!" to me? I want you to tell me HOW the best way to fix the issues would be. I am curious and maybe we can get some good ideals in here.

Are you kidding me? ARMA 2 WAS NOT BUILT IN WITH ZOMBIES IN IT! Rocket added the zombies in. Not only that but i played a mod where civilians with knives would attack you and they would come straight at you with perfect path finding. And rocket CLEARLY programmed the zombies because they don't act like any NPC I ever saw in arma. Yes some people actually play arma and not just dayz. PS rocket your awesome in case your reading this.

God dang it. I KNOW ITS APLHA! I just want to hear some opinion on this. On what should be done and what not. Screaming the obvious won't improve anything!

Oh sweet Jesus how do explain this without it sounding like hacks were being used? Well this is a old story I have but feel like telling, i spawned and went to a near town. I got a crossbow *BEST WEAPONRY EVER!* and some food/water and was sneaking around as usual. Until i hear gunshots, lots of them. I take cover not knowing where their coming from and then I look at the town in the distance. It looks like fireworks from all the muzzle flashes. I am wondering whats going on so I move SLOWLY towards the town. I can hear alot of gunshots and see tons of body's. I look at the zombie counter and it says 0/332. So all the zombies in this town were killed. At first I think probably a party clearing a town out to make into some sort of base but the shots keep going. Eventually some dude runs at me with a pistol which nearly hits me the face! I manage to hit him with the crossbow and I assume i broke his legs in the process because he starts crawling away. After killing him off I see two more players shooting at each other. But I notice almost every house has someone in it shooting at someone else, I stayed low and had to kill 3 more people who came into the shed i was hiding in. *good thing the crossbow is silent*. By the time the shooting stopped i counted 31 body's I don't know why this many people were in the same place and were out for blood but it happened. It was epic, plus i got loot from all their body's. I am curious, has anyone else seen something super crazy and felt like you were playing arma 2 with no mods instead of dayz?

Nooblord you are indeed a noob. You can get the bolts back when you kill with them. Plus two of them were already bleeding.

Part of the fun of dayz is the trust no one scene. Most players who are decked out will not risk the other playing shooting them in the back so they simply shoot first. People who want a skin or name tag for bandits are mostly softcore noobs who are to trigger stingy.

My epic last stand was in a food store of some kind. I had a lee enfeild with lots of ammo and a revolver. Some idiot snuck up behind me and I shot him, *he is was unarmed, never sneak up on someone in dayz* so i shot him attracting a whole mess of zombies. I managed to kill 152 of them with a Lee Enfeild, a revolver, and a hatchet. First it was going fine but you should know that dayz doesn't have difficulty, because that implies fairness. Dayz has no fairness because after a while the zombies teleporting and ability to go though walls got the best of me. And hitting me from miles away of course. Total body count was 223. In the end it was legs broken and only a axe. *insert your last stand bellow*

HOLY SH*T THIS IS AWESOME! PLEASE make the standalone not just this with better graphics. This is a chance to fix all the bugs.

Even in 28 days later the zombies were slightly slower then the humans, PLUS they just bit and slashed at stuff. They didn't spaz out to attack. The hitboxes need work to!

THEIR ZOMBIES! If he wants them to be super humans then stop calling them zombies. And there is NO excuse for spazzy animations and zombies teleporting, going though solid objects, and hitting me from miles away. PS the crazies wasn't even about zombies!

Rocket says he is trying to make a antigame. Well that is fine making it hard but Jesus, cheap glitches and buggy animations don't make a game hard. They make it cheap.

I dunno, I didn't have a map and it was during my noobie days but it wasn't far from the coast but wasn't ON the coast either. Crazy crude can happen in dayz. And for about half a hour of none stop shooting.

None of these should be implented until the game is fixed. Currently its a freaking mess. The zombies are to fast and the anamations are to spazzy. There is challenge then there is cheapness. PS before you say if the zombies were slow it would be to easy i am talking about running 80% the speed of the player. Also they hit though walls and waht not.

This are questions bandits would ask if re spawn was in real life and if heaven has a forum.

Now I have been playing Dayz for some time now and I am starting to understand why the life span is so low for noobs. Besides the fact that their noobs. Now before you rage at me I LOVE DAYZ i think its a great zombie simulator. But it has problems *which like all mods do* but they can be and should be fixed if possible. 1. The zombies are to fast. I don't mind running zombies, I actually prefer running zombies over the dumb slow zombies which are so easy to kill there is no challenge. But when a zombie can run faster then and only stops to stand still for no reason your zombie are to freaking fast. Unless their a special type of zombie or something. But They should run slower. You should be able to outrun because if your are new and unarmed then your screwed if some of then chase you. Because unless you hide in a house or something their NEVER stop. Also it makes them to hard to kill. I don't mind challenge but every time i slow down to try and shoot them their already right in my face. 2. Broken leg is to common. My most recent character was all decked out with a sniper, a pistol with tons of ammo. A camo suit and all the gadgets and food/drink i need. But what killed him? Well nothing because i walked off a 4 foot shack and my legs broke.... Then I asked some player to shoot me. He did and was happy with all my loot. *least it didn't go waste* Nothing more frustrating in the world then a zombie coming out of no where hitting you once your legs break. GG. Unless by the rare chance you have morphine. Or a friend does. Please make it less common. Or at least make it easier to treat, like being able to use painkillers to walk for a short time or something like that. 3. The zombies, they are spazoids. The animation for them involves them moving very quickly so its hard to hit hit them while their attacking and teleporting to you. I have got hit from great distances, i got hit though walls *even with the new patch* It almost looks like the zombies are smart and are actually making a effort to DODGE your bullets or attacks depending on your weaponry. Their zombies, their not suppose to be smart their suppose to be stupid and charge straight at you. 90% of the time the zombies come at from me from a angle and rarely run straight. They are almost always running left and right till last second. 4. I approve of taking away some of our stuff. I am glad bandits can't farm noobs for beans, or for a gun and ammo. Plus no more wanna be bandits with nothing to lose. But at least start off with a hatchet or something! If a zombie is chasing you, you have no choice but to run. What else can you do? Its annoying because at day time you have to crawl or their WILL see you. And if you go on a road their most likely to see you. So you need SOME kind of way to defend yourself. Let us start with a knife that we can stab em with or something along those lines. Now if you disagree with me you can say it in a civil manner. Like i said i like difficulty but i don't like it when its just flat out cheap. I am actually interested in what you have to say if you disagree with me. But please don't be the fan boy who screams "YOU JUST SUCK AT THE GAME GET GOOD OR YOU WONT DIE SO OFTEN, YOU JUST WANT TEH GAME TO BE EASEH!" This is coming from a guy who had a character last for four days with almost all the tools and a alot of firepower with ammo to back it so I know how to play Dayz. PS that guy died two week ago before you accuse me of just being mad.

Yeah i am talking airfields in general. Often there is nothing, but some crazy stuff can happen there. Same thing with hospitals and crashed choppers. Though usually all you find there is a bunch of people with broken legs crawling around.

I am serious some glitch turned my character into a sheep for 30 sec.

THIS JUST HAPPENED!! I was walking and suddenly i am in control of a f*cking sheep!
