Yep, good one. A quick, easy way to show others you are friendly (or lying) is the way to go.

+1 Manhattan-like would be awesome. Snipers atop the Empire State anyone?

True, they should especially not aggro just because they heard something. They would investigate and then only aggro when they see you.

I am pretty sure that in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse we would all be screwed. I wouldnt even know where to get a gun legally let alone find one in a barn!

After a while i think the Infected will lose speed, hearing and sight, after all Rocket wants to put an aging cycle on them. At the moment think of them as peak Infected - surely they cant get better than this? To me i would just figure if i can see them moving about with the naked eye then there is a chance they can see me.

In all the vids of Rocket playing he and his team seem to have different skins, cant see why more cant be introduced.

Sounds like server hoppers to me, but could be wrong.

I do miss the banter

FFS, if you can see an Infected why shouldnt they see you? Is this Rocketitis Infection somehow supposed to make them blind, deaf and stupid? I just thought it turned them into ravenous cannibals. For true authenticity as soon as you stepped out of the treeline into plain view 50 Zeds should come screaming up the hill to you. Rocket has said that the sight is based on probablility meaning the longer you are in their sight range the more chance they have of seeing you. He even suggested moving quickly out of their LOS rather than crawling in front of them. Having Zeds not see you as you crawled 5m away from them was ridiculous to anyone with a notion of realism. I dont think Rocket wants to make this game easy - he wants to screw with our minds.

Just want to get a few thoughts on what people think are the real strengths and weaknesses of Day Z. Bear in mind that bugs and alpha based problems dont count - yes Zeds walk through walls, equipment goes missing etc etc. What i would like to know are thoughts on the things you think Day Z does well and the things that Day Z definitely needs improving, whether by Rocket or the players themselves. A few of my thoughts: PROS: Immense feeling of fear and paranoia Atmospheric sound effects CONS: Kill on sight mentality Ability to loot "own" body after death

Look i understand people are concerned about losing their Ghillie suits or spawning in the water but can we get back to the REAL issue at hand here. Whether Z is Zed or Zee. Let's have a vote - i'm Australian and i say Zed.:P

Nice - it would definitely keep snipers on their toes.

(falls to knees, looks up to the sky, arms outstretched) Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little saddos sitting in their rooms jacking off all day. If they actually put their mind to it they could create rather than blatantly destroy.....Jeez i sound like the UN.

Pen and paper?? Seriously, nice idea...me like.

Seen some priests but not the rest. Are they for real?

According to some people. 1.7.2 - mission accomplished

I suppose you are running on adrenaline so much that you need more food and water.

Let the bear trap wars begin

I like the idea but as you say there would be bandits aplenty. It wouldnt hurt to give it a go though.

So give your feedback and ignore the cries of the fanboys. I dont understand what your issue is. If you give constrcutive critisism it will be heard and discussed. You have to expect the odd troll or two. This is why we are here, to test an Alpha - appraise what has been added and let the devs know if it works properly or not. Beta is for the bugs to be stomped upon. And dont you dare have a go at my avatar!

Like most updates it is best to hold off for a while until things calm down and the servers are all up to date. Unlike most cry babies on this forum it is good to hear that you wont be too disappointed if you do lose your gear.

Running through gates-not realistic Hitting through walls- not realistic Running through buildings- not realistic My character not being able to run up a hill that is like only 30 degree while zeds can go 2 x the speed of Usain Bolt- not realistic Zombies knowing exactly were you are- not realistic me not being able to jump through windows- not realistic Should i go on? IMO Also' date=' these are not zombies, they are infected, Anyone saying these are zombies should be punished. The way Rocket wants the infected to be is just SO different and against what the arma engine is supposed to do and what is typically handles, its like l4d2 having slow zombies. [/quote'] thanks for writing those and berry him. i just couldn't be bothered Just like you couldn't be bothered learning to spell. People complaining about BUGS - please wait for release not Alpha. Hitting through walls, walking through objects - i am pretty sure that they will be ironed out at some point, but whinging because an Infected psycho can now run faster than you, or can run indoors, or see further than 50m? Boo Farking Hoo!
