Me and four of my mates constantly try to play DayZ. We usually try to move inland and move through city and city. But with the latest patch (1.5.7) the zombiehostility was increased and the zombies now spawn in hordes when attacked. This is problematic because we have no chance of defending ourselves against so many zombies. For example we were in a little village north of Chernogorsk. There we saw ~20 zombies and thought "hey, lets kill them and then loot the village". So we started opening fire at the zombies and kited them to a field to not attract more zombies from the village. However, as we killed zombies the same amount we killed just spawned. After we had killed ~120 zombies on this field in nowhere we had no ammunition (we even looted the zombies that we had killed while running) and the zombies just keeped on spawning and then we died. This would've been great fun if there'd been these 20 zombies and perhaps ~20 more spawns but now it was just fucked up. I know this game is supposed to kick you in the face but this was seriously just ridiculous. We had no chance. And even if we moved away from the field zombies kept on spawning. It's so ridiciolous because it doesnt make any sense. Why'd there be 120 zombies in a village of 4 houses in middle of nowhere on a grain field? :( Why not make the bigger cities full of more zombies and great loot? Why'd you have to put so many zombies in just a few houses? :-/ I really hope Rocket reads this! =)

Wow.. first page so many bad ideas. It is brilliant as it is now. The most exciting thing about this game is the player/bandit interaction. You never know what'll hit you and you know you might get fucked in the ass for trusting people. It is perfect as it is.

I clicked climb a ladder and then decided to not climb it down. But then I just dropped down and died. :(

This is a great idea. However, perhaps even less than 40? It'd also be cool with chances of meeting a mutated super zombie (maybe just smarter than the regular zombies or survives abit more shots or do more damage or something like that with a really neat model) or something like that.. perhaps abit like these invisible guys in STALKER but without invisibility.

I totally agree. Exterminating zombies should have an impact.

Brutally hard is not the same as brutally frustrating. Brutally hard should avoid intelligence and wit not just put 1000000 zombies on the player whenever he is seen by a zombie. See my thread for what we are complaining about.

I also think this is a bad idea. Even the bandit skins are abit too friendly for the player.

I agree. Perfect amount of players would however be abit higher. Like perhaps 100.

I agree with thread starter. At the moment its just ridicolouos. I only want to play with my friends. At the moment people just kill themselves and respawn anyway. It'd be much better if you could choose "spawning area", like a big box or something on the map.
