I've not said anything about your grammar, now get to on-topic, or just simply get off.

And could you tell me how giving my opinion on your suggestion, in your thread, in the suggestions forum, is not on-topic?

Don't tell me how to express myself when you're double-posting.

If I must quote myself...

Sprocket said "They're not zombies, they're infected."

"I dont desire to sound like a retart"

Yeh, I felt the need of saying that there, cus I was/am/will be being aware of that there is a lof ot thing in this game that I ve no idea about, regarding me still being new here (so a big noob in dayz), which is why everyone just sees me as an advanced player who knows everything i guess ? o.O

[RedNome 443]

Then why the hell does everyone on youtube and on such places just call them simply "zombie" ?

We all do it I suppose, it's just become an all encompassing word to cover many variants of the genre now.

English as a language is crying out in pain and fear.

just quit it man, already saw that u guys see those runners as "infecteds" not as "zombies" as rocket probably mentioned it before... which was the fact that confused me anyway... cus as i mentioned before, I saw ppl calling those creatures as "zombies" not "infected" on utube and such places, as Im a wierd type who just watches a lot of videos of a game before starting to play it.

and about my previous post, I did not write it to refer the forum rules, as you seem older than me here knowing them far better than me probably, I would assume. The fact that disturbed me was not rules getting broken or such, it was you just insulting me via grammar of english which is just very rude and just out of topic anyway..

English as a language is crying out in pain and fear.

And here you did that again

btw you can keep trolling my thread by lying;

cus i wrote: "which is why everyone just sees me as an advanced player who knows everything i guess ?" not the text you quoted.

but anyway, enjoy your childishness while you can :P

The problem is, you're still standing by your original argument of the idea that zombies shouldn't run. While that is generally agreed upon, the creatures referred to as "Zombies" in the game have been said not to actually be zombies. When that was pointed out to you, you ask us why other people are calling them zombies. How are we supposed to know?

Boys will be boys.

Hello there

Play nice, mocking a non native's grasp of english isn't on.

however, OP you have been informed that the "zeds" are not undead no matter how they are referenced. Zed/Zombie/Infected have become interchangeable words.

As to why they Run? Because they are programmed that way and Rocket/devs/Community devs have chosen them to be that way.

You aint gonna like Standalone - you think running into a building will save you as they miraculously hit an invisible wall that tells them to slow down.

Surely a brain addled, psychotic, cannibalistic individual will not just shamble along when it sees prey.

And the clue about the Walking Dead not being the Running Dead is in the title - which isn't applicable with DayZ's alive Infected.

[GotBeanZ 45]

An unbelievably cheap trick has just been used. We can all see what you're doing, bro. I'm not stooping to that level.

My knowledge about DayZ is not enough to be able to make such an argument yet lol, I dont rly use the buildings on this purpose.. I said that going into a building just makes the zombies slowlier, after someone offered me just to go into buildings to get the rid of the infecteds :P

But yeah, I would like to see them that slow everywhere, not only in the buildings, but if the game is programmed in that way on the purpose, than nothing more to say about it :P

Yeh, check your tricky fake quotes of mine and speak again if u can Mr. Troll. Now get off already..

OP, come with me, friend, we're gonna go on a trip, pal. We'll get your zombies on ea- I mean, we'll get them walking in no time.

Just come to me, to this nice, cozy, futuristic room with walls padded with cushio- I mean, pillows. We'll get you what you want in no time.

While we're at, put this jacket on too. It has a lot of straps, but it is nice and cozy. It feels really soft. Let me put it on for you, pal, okay, there we go, friend.

If we ever end up with walking zeds i am out. Once you get used to the mod and how it works i am pretty sure (even with the current glitches) you will start to enjoy it. You really missed its hey day by nearly a year though :) Current patch is pretty lame re the zeds but being worked on (hopefully)

the mod is cool,I was just wondering why they run instead of walking.. and thx to the community, they clearly stated that they are not "zombies" and the mod was made like this on purpose x'D and oh well, everyone was a noob once.. I guess I can live with this fact :D (and I should better.. otherwise no SA for me xD )

Huh?

I got SS u genious baby;

Now GTFO OF HERE and go cry somewhere else!

......... WarZ at all, but the zombie-system of that game-wannabe is far better than the zombies we have in dayz mod

I think the zombies in warz look like retired grannys loafing around...dayz faster zombies makes u more on edge when they first see u.

[jk_scowling 44]

I dont desire to sound like a retart, but how come can zombies run this fast? Is it really THAT HARD to make them unable to run? Again, I dont wanna seem like a fanboy of WarZ at all, but the zombie-system of that game-wannabe is far better than the zombies we have in dayz mod (<- that saying im aware of this is still a mod :P), which makes me really think why they did not change those runner a bit anyway? Is it really that hard to change the movements of them? If its so, then mkay.. ^w^"

They would need to redo so much stuff for it to work, the way the zombies attack they would need to be able to grab you to be effective, there would need to be more of them, way more than the engine can handle.

If they were just slowed down they would be nothing more than decoration, once you learn the mechanics they are easy enough already. Well until you get careless or something or break your legsies.

Thats indeed right! :D I feel like Imma just die in no time if those zeds would start following me with that speed :D

Yeh, they are meant to be threat, not only decoration :P

And Oh! So Im not the only one breaking legs in wierd situations... I feel better now! :'D

Broken legs ? avoid rocks, ladders, toilet doors, stairs. standing to close to someone in a confined area, tree roots, sloping hills, fences, going prone into houses, still helicopter rotors, dams. Open fields are ok...mostly ;)

I guess I should consider myself "lucky" then ^^"

I love this game for the same reason I love the Dawn of the Dead remake. Slow zombies/infected are for old and feeble people to be afraid of. If the virus slowed the decay process they would be able to move as fast as any human for quite a long while. A breif period of rigor mortis might slow them down for a few hours but after that, why wouldn't they be able to run?

yeh, logic is fine! dean has made these stuffs with the community, it must be perfect anyway! :P the only thing that makes me sometimes worried is those zeds being able to see you from hundreds of meters away if you even crawl on the ground, even though other zeds that are really close to you do not see you somehow :D

[Hetstaine 10852]

As soon as you hear the aaaAAAWWWUUURRR ! zed love call from a distance just start legging it around the trees or buildings, you will find they are fairly easy to lose. The zeds are really just there atm as an indicator that another player is in the area..and to randomly contribute to your broken leg collection. There is a tips thread that someone posted recently here that should give you a head start.
