HERBERT-THETREE

The reason the devs and most people are against the idea (IMO) is the excess strain it would put on computers Rocket said last year at some point that, zombies in the mod have 5 sections and because of that when there are a lot of zombies around the fps drops drasticly. He claimed then, that in SA the zombies will be only 1 section. Essentualy that means that if there are 10 zombies around you, your computer is loading and processing 50 different things at the same time +everything else, weather, player/other players, animals, loot, textures ect. In the stand alone they want to make it so that zombies are only 1 section which by itself should make a huge difference on performance, but because of the "weapons as entities" thing, its kind of counter balanced it so that in theory the system should run basicly the same for SA and the mod. My point is In the SA players are 5 sections (i think) and zombies are 1. So to reregister a dead player as a zombie would require the system to remove the dead player and replace it with a zombie wearing the same cloths and gear as that player. Zombies arent programmed as players so the gear/clothing would need to be changed or duplicated for zombies to use it as well. Another issue is that zombies do not spawn in unless there are players around, so if you die and your alone then why would the server resurrect you as a zombie when its only suppose to spawn zombies around players. quite simply It will requir a lot of extra work by the devs and put exta strains on both computers and servers. This is were he talks about the sections, its in the Q&A session so you can skip to the end

I am bitching because i see the same fucking thread made by a different person every day. That tells me and every one else that there are a handfull of dumbasses like you on here who cant use a search bar. Also if you read over any of the other threads you would see that most people dont like this idea. This isnt like "every other fucking zombie thing ever" Do you have to shoot the zombies in the head to kill them? no. Are ANY of the zombies half eaten or covered in rotting flesh? no. do dead bodies come back to life? no. ARE THEY ZOMBIES?? no.The devs have said numerous times they dont want this to be like "every other fucking zombie thing ever" If you want people to take you seriously and not treat you like your stupid you need them to treat you with respect, one way of doing that is to make logical well thought out and original suggestions. Why do you think this thread flamed? Because you wouldnt listen to what every one was telling you.

First off i never bitched about it, second people do support your idea (some) what your not understanding is that it is not a "zombie" infection that is what everyone is trying to tell you. If you dont believe me or them, i would suggest doing some research but whats the point in doing that since you obviously can even check to see that this very same thread has been posted over and over and over and every time people get the same response. The fact that YOU made this thread means nothing to anyone anywhere. you would get a lot more respect if you used some common sense instead of trying to argue against facts.

why? why wont this thread die? you people just keep doing CPR on this thing and all i want is for it to die lol :'(

what makes this thread different from these: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/124450-closed-becoming-a-zombie-not-playing-as-zombie/ http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/124577-advanced-zombie-infection-in-sa/page__hl__+zombie%20+player#entry1192414 posted literaly just minuts before this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/124441-suggestion-coming-back-as-zombie-please-read/page__hl__+zombie%20+player#entry1190649 I typed zombie player in the search bar and picked these out of the first few results. Im not going to argue with you on why this is or isnt a good idea because ive already made my claims on other threads. use the search function. this one idea has probobly popped up more than just about any other just in the last few days.

The head bob is not a reason to support 3rd person. It was even stated in this thread i believe that you can change it in the options Edit: I do support 3rd person in the game/mod.

Didnt look both ways before crossing the road. I went to run across the road in some tiny village up north then out of no were i see headlights and im dead.

you can have planes when i get to nuke cherno once a day.. you know for balance

Pretty sure OP is asking if he should just not play on that server anymore. or mabey asking if the forums are were he needs to look for help (theres a lot of confusion on were to appeal bans i think)

good idea though i believe is been suggested a lot. I cant remember were i saw it but im pretty sure rocket said the variety of zombies would be low because in the SA they want to try and have very stable fps and they see more basic/generic zombies as a way of doing that. If anyone knows were this info is can you link it please so i dont look like an ass thanks.

I think he wants the weapons to do more damage. kind to hard to tell i know.

very true, unfortunate but true.

Yea zombies are a nuisence right now, the admin of the sever i play on is changing his server back to the last patch for now to deal with it.

good to see im talking to someone who has knowlegde on these things and not just another idiot. You are correct in everthing you said. but even though the rounds (5.56) do normaly just pass through the body without expanding, theres generaly enough force behind the bullet to put them on the ground. The reason the military uses 5.56 fmj is because they want to wound their target not kill them (altho most soldiers shoot to kill). If the target is not hurt bad enough to take them out of the fight then it is not doing its job. My point is this amunition will still stop a man running away, not necessarily because it kills him but because hes wounded.

I did not say kill. I said you will stop running, meaning the bullet would cause you to stumble and fall, depending on were you are shot, yes a simple flesh wound you will be fine, however just about anything to the leg is going to knock you down, and being shot in the chest/abdominal area will often have the same effect on a person in motion, although there are instances of people continuing to run that is usually from a pistol round and then as soon as they realize they have been shot (assuming they do not right away) their heart rate will increase and most likely will go into shock. You are right most rifles do not emidiatly kill in 1 shot, but most have enough knock down power to put you on your ass, the 5.56 has a variation of effects some people can stay up, but most fall when shot by it. and a couple .45 to the chest is more than enough to kill some one.

Since it is about dayz i figured it would go here. Mabey im the only one curious or mabey im the only person who missed it when it was mentioned but ive been wondering were did rocket/devs get the funding for this project? I find it hard to believe that everything was donated, was it? I know it doesnt make a big difference and its not going to change my oppinion of the mod/game, im just curious.

Didnt think BI was actually "funding" it. Thought this was a "side project" started by rocket that eventually got popular...

would be fun but Id say no because of how much extra coding would be needed for it. I think the devs have enough to deal as it is.

you could. it made being a bandit so much easier too

I cant explain those instances lol. but ive broken my legs in arma before from things like being shot or falling off of buildings. no need for apology i was just letting you know.

"you cannot break your legs in the vanilla ARMA 2 game" you can break legs in arma2 it just doesnt have an indicator, it forces you to crawl. modern bullets don't use actual lead anymore. Or do they? I'm not honestly quite sure. To some degree yes, but not as much. (pretty sure on this) Edit: Just curious but does that take into consideration that military ammo is Full metal jacket?its designed to injure not kill.

This^ Also, any one who disagrees with you or argues with you is a "tard" good to know

Then what would you have the devs do? Adding zombies to arma isnt good enough but making the game more realistic than arma is too far. what is it you expect to get out of this game? You think any of those numbers make you a reliable source of what makes a good game or what needs done to this one? no it doesnt. why? because of mulitple reason 1. no one cares 2. there are plenty of 13 year old kids who can claim/prove the same thing. and 3. The fact that you played the game a lot does not mean you know how to make it better, it means you know how to survive it AS IT IS NOW. Edit:the weapon balance i agree on.

No i get that your saying Bf3 is unrealistic. My point is that it doesnt have to nor need to be it is an arcade shooter meant to entertain people with a cloak of realism, not actual realism. Devs of dayz are striving for actual realism. Edit: Based on what ive read on this thread and this one http://dayzmod.com/f...weapon-nerfing/ Ive concluded that you just want this game easy. If im wrong on that, please, someone explain how.

Really hate when people compare Dayz to Bf3, CoD or just about any other game for that matter. The features in other games regardless of how realistic or unrealistic, have absolutly no relevance to Dayz or Arma2. They are completely different games the one thing they share in common is theyre both shooters that is all. Thes vast differences between them make comparison idiotic and pointless.
