Ummmm....No to 1.7.1

[phienyx 14]

I have to say on top of the major fiasco that has to be dealt with in order to connect to a server for each update, the latest update has two major changes that I do not think do DayZ any favors.

Zombie AI: Zombies are half rotting, non intelligent entities that wander aimlessly feeding off each other and the flesh of the living. How is it that they are (in this update) able to detect (hear, see, smell) you from ridiculous distances now? The LOS thing is not working because they seem to still be able to detect even though there was no LOS. This makes getting into areas to scavenge for gear nearly impossible now.

Lets not mention that you start with next to nothing now so you cannot even defend yourself. Its already fucked up that zombies have super human running speeds so out running them is not an option. Even if the LOS "feature" was functioning correctly, it would only really work well in city environments....assuming you can make it into the city.

Now you will have players going back to the coast just to hunt newer players that now cannot even shoot back. WTF?

I'm sorry, I have say that those two changes need to be reverted.
