Don't you agree? If you want some indepth memory renewal, read this stuff http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/91808-stalker-engine/ Nontheless, I think most of what rocket is trying to come up with already exist in this multiplayer fiasco called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Eventhough it has some more... unrealistic features. If they just could have done S.T.A.L.K.E.R. multiplayer right... Ermagerd! Sternerg merg! Oh my god! STANAG Mag!

Firstly, I read this on the wiki, sparked it " Walkers: These zombies stand upright and walk slowly. They run very fast in zigzags at the player and are often hard to hit. They are the most common zombie type. Hoppers: These zombies are crouched and hop towards the player at a medium speed flailing their arms once agroed, they can be hard to see and often blend in with grass on approach. Crawlers: These zombies are the rarest and are in prone position, they can be very difficult to see in the grass and are the quickest of zombies when they aren't aggroed. However, this is the slowest zombie when they are aggroed. ". Why would any zombie zigzag? And why does 80% of them do it? It kind of annoying, better would be if 20 % did, and did 300% damage. I mean their brains are fried right? Why would they not pick the straight path? And why would those zombies which are even more braindead be able to complete a straight pathing like they do? Its like a drunktest, but 80% fails. I talked to my friends and we all thought that it felt kind of awkward that the most regular type of enemy would be the most fierce and dangerous. I really think it would be in general more fun kicking zombie butts if they would be easier to hit. Even if zombies would do 300% more damage, that would be fine as long as skills and tactics would do better and have greater impact. We feel that aiming is not the hard part, but having zombies making wierd turns and lagging away to china while still kicking your butt makes engaging zombies annoying in an unrealistic (and frustrating) manner rather than what would be a fun zombie shooting safari. I have no trubble with running zombies, but when they are superhuman mega fast and smart enough to dodge bullets its just disturbing. I would really like to see stronger , slower and easyer to hit zombies. However, adding more dangerous Hoppers would be a great veriety, as they are kind of wierd to begin with, adding a zigzag pattern to them instead would be cool, infact awesome. I LOVE HARD GAMES. I want this game to be hard. But hard in a way inwich my personal skills combined with slight equipment modifier, teamplay and tactics have the greatest impact on my progress rather than luck and latency or wether the walls around me allows zombies to tread through them. I think the concept of this is very good though, and I don't want to ditch it, but in my and my friends opinions; I really think it would be more enjoyable if Walkers would be running straight, while Hoppers made serpent patterns, along with having greater damage. Also, Crawlers could have a snare ability, that would make them dangerous too. Thanks for hearing me out. Also, playing survivor is kinda boring when you don't fight people, and fighting zombies sux.

NEVERMIND THEN!

Well, that makes sence, but how come only "Walkers" use serpent patterns?

I think the main reasons for the PvP is the 1 Lack of somthing to to if you play Pve 2 Lack of any reason not to shoot on sight 3 Due to fear of them shooting you by some reason. 90% of those I shoot meets their fate due to my own fear of them shooting me, rather than any other reason. Being friendly is simply alot harder and so much less... effective.

Nah, not wowlike instances, more like in Stalker, was what came in mind. Anyway, nevermind that. I did not write that personally anyway, it was a friend of mine. Nontheless, I approved his message. Still, are you sure that it is in the AI rather than programming? Why would it be? It annoy the crap out of me.

Note that his was some time ago, and the speed of zombies has ben lowered with X% but still. I know bumping aint right, but I want some kind of response.

Well... I agree on the hacking part, but I think anyone who has ever found a Makarov already have pounded on that issue long enough.

You, thanks.

Maybe the game needs instances too.

Well, why not satisfy some FPS RPG MMO wishes then? There is NO game that has gotten this close to it. Make factions, and add some instances. Maybe even monsters. If you would then put those monsters in instances it would be free to venture inside for those that like the idea. Nontheless. you can find other games with multiple playstyles. I would actually, (eventhough not related to the topic) like to play sometimes with a little less stakes.

Sniped some bandit with .50 trying to steal my offroad. Got bandit kill, but went from 3k to 4k - I wanted to be a "Hero" but ditched the idea since this happened. Anyone know how humanity on kill is determined? Also, later same day i got attacked by 2 bandits, shot them both and lost no humanity. Although I had a l85 at that time so it should have given me more humanity loss?

Name; "wat? Talon" He had some team of 3 other players, and I can't know if all the cheating on the server was associated to these four players, anyone else on the server, or if all was commited by "wat? Talon". (wat? Lost one, wat? Khsolheim (He was admin...) don't rember the last one.) Server; DayZ - Norway 22 (v1.7.2.5/Beta 95883) [GMT -8] Trondheim dayzmod.com - hosted by dayz@solhe.im Time; Around 23:00 GMT + 1 Local. Severtime, GMT -8. that would be 9 hours earlier, 14:00 during the day? What happened? We had a LAN, so I did infact see this with my own eyes. It began with me looting some camp in the great north. When suddenly silent fire started hitting the ground around me. Did not hear any gunshots, just bullets flying at me, this was quite legit though, he could aswell be shooting at me from 100 m with Bizon. My squadmate was hiding ontop of a mountain 350 meters away. Having clear view on me, he saw bullets hitting ground around me, and looked around the forest around me after possible threats. Note that my friend was hiding on a whole diffrent mountain, even farther north, with no targets around, in the woods, with a guille suit, and with no points of interest around him. Shortly after bullets began raining on him too, eventhough he was far out of sight and hidden well This was really really odd. Then my third squadmate comming to help us from the east was shot with 1 silent bullet and died. He was 2 kilometers away from our current location. This happened mabe 30 sec after our sniper was shot at. We heard no gunshots, saw no one, and was found awkwardly easy. We tuaght this would be cheating. BUT as the third squadmate went corpserunning from southren airtstrip he found a newly spawned bandit sitting on the shore, he walked up to him and asked whats up.The bandit was; wat? Talon Penti ( My friend) "Hey, are you a friend of the admin?" Talon "Why do you want to know?" Penti "I was wondering if there was any cheaters on the server..." Talon "Maybe..." Talon "Wait, can you see me?" Penti "Yeah, I can see you...?" Talon "What the fuck..." Talon "Well, I can't move, I'm stuck, can you shoot me?" And so Penti shot him. Later as Penti was running trough Electro we saw a rain of helicopters and other random huge anomalious explotions and firestorms. We want this looked into, as this was our favorite server.

Thank you Sylvan for your response, we look forward to remain loyal to this server. It is a great relief for both me and my team to hear that the doubts about a cheating admin team was all false and that we can continue to use this server without fear of corrupt leadership among the peacekeepers. I'm very sorry, and a bit embarrassed about this accusation on you and your team. And I am glad we could keep this conversation fantasticly civilized and with good manners. (I seem to have been typing my response at the very same time as you replied, so I initially missed it.)

Thank you Ksolheim for your polite answer, I withraw any accusations on your teamate, and I believe you. But you need to understand my supersitions and path of conclusion. I humbly apologize if any of you felt assaulted by this post.

Well, try tabbing to desktop while joining the serrver, works for me. Wierd, but effective, like glue.

Considering your charecter being able to fly helicopters, complete fieldsurgery, helicopterrepairs, gutting animals,... Maybe these things might all be possible with some wits, but I also think driving of tanks is mighty fine possible. I have read somewhere they intend to add tanks, but I figure that idea is going to be ditched though since it will be quite hard to implement AT enough to protect newspawned greenies from being blown offmap.

I played Dayz four days straight. I think I had atleast 30 h gameplay time on that char, and like 400 zombie kills. I only play with my friends, we were 7 players in total, running around at smallest groupings of 4 man. All of us play really well, and we could handle most anything. Not because we were skilled, but due to all 7 of us having an L85A2 AWS each even our dedicated sniper carried with him in backpack too. We decided to go looking for a helicopter or car, since ours had been stolen. As our sniper spotted one of them cars we went after it and suddenly the chat turns all white. 49 of those on the server was killed silently, instantly. All 7 of us. On my way back there I was killed by a ghost made up by smokegranades. As we ran to Stary Sobor to check our corpses we found nothing but flies... Just feel with me. Thanks. If there is (witch I doubt) anyting I can do to restore anything, please tell me. Its just a game, but it was 30 h of my spare time too.

Ye, how can people take suicide? It was removed a while back if i recall correctly. And, if they are cheaters, why? Its funny, how I just figured earlier today that I'm lucky, not meeting cheaters very frequently, as others seemed to find them alot. IF I WOULD BE STUPID ENOUGH to even attempt cheating, I would NEVER use it to grief others. Maybe get gear, or vehicles, but NEVER this way, killing people completely without reason.

Well ofc its not waste that way, but you gotta understand, its like building a cardtower just to have someone tearing it down @gunpoint, you can't stop them, and knowing that they have nothing to win by doing it does not make it feel better. I much rather get looted once i'm killed, rather than having a hacker using collective "hide body" .

Haha, aye, but i'm personaly not much for the pvp. It just feels like fighting irl, just so much to loose, and the best would be if people would stop fighting. Usually when I can I tell those I fight to abort rather than shoot them. Since 9h loot + 9h loot = 10 h loot, cuz who loots everything, right? Waste of bloodbags and ammo.
