What's your opinion on the 1.7.7 patch? (POLL)

Feel free to post your opinions.

Since the first vote was from the OP under the category "It sucks" it is very easy to see what he/she is hoping to accomplish.

If you would like for this poll to be more meaningful I would suggest the choices be "Satisfied", "Indifferent", and "Unsatisfied." Your results would be better, as now the only people who will follow the "it sucks" line are those who are really unhappy. Also it might be nice if you invited people to post the main reason for their vote in simple terms.

Hopefully this poll can be meaningful, time will tell.

I like how it makes the zeds actually a danger and makes you think twice before firing. I think maybe they should raise the spawn chance of antibiotics a bit but if not I'm fine with it. The viral zeds are pretty hard to stop if they are running but get them in a building and headshot them. I also love the lower loot spawns-makes it feel more like a zombie apocalypse. Lastly, I love to sit down and enjoy a nice ice cold Tea :)

I'm to lazy to press "Show votes" everytime I update the page.

[Zarniwoop 1193]

Decent only because of the bugs! ;)

[Fonebook 126]

Thank you for updating the poll choices, I believe the results will be more meaningful this way. Pollsters know questions and responses must be carefully crafted in order to get opinions which have not been influenced by the questions or answers provided.

Looking forward to see where this lands in the next few days.

I dont get all the hate. I play 2 days out of the week. And I did awesome for my first play through on an all Veteren vanilla server setting. Sure, I died 3 times b/c of zombies. But their change is awesome. Aggressive, but not impossible. Knock down is a great feature imo. And the only time i have been infected, is when I get punched repeatedly by zombies.

3 times ive died. on my forth life, I was able to set camp in Lopatina(sp?) Travelling from Elektro, Novy Sober, Stary, NWAF. Final gear? A M16 CCO, and M24. All the while, avoiding players, and taking care of Zombies.

All the hate is pretty much people doing what they do best.

Dying.

I was at first excited at the patch notes that zombies were going to be more difficult. And that stuff was not going to spawn as often. Though now it feels like this version is aimed at those who have all day to play. You know, those people who are not working and spend their day in the game for every wakeing hour of their day.

Running from zombies just dosn't work. You get knocked down, so you are forced to kill them. And if you only have a gun on you, make sure you have the ammo to last through all the ones you call to your location. Running through bushes in the wilderness dosn't even work iether. I had a zombie follow me from Kamanka all the way to the NWAF. Only reason I was able to shake him there was becuase of the walls and the fences and the low trees. I have spent 24 hours playing this new patch now, and I havn't even found one jerry can. I searched all of Cherno, electro, and even the factory complex. I have found one scrap metal, one windshield, and two wheels. That is it. Then while I was at the NWAF, I did get lucky and find my favorate weapon. The M16 ACOG, though I found nothing else. I was lucky to find it with two mags, I havn't found any other mags, even raiding firestations at the other cities. I have hit up all the downed helicopters. Havn't found any thing... well I did find one pain killer.

So in short, I spent 24 hours and found basicly nothling. I normaly only am able to put in 4 hours a night, but today I had off. In four hours, I would not be able to get any where with the game.

Another thing I have picked up doing, due to the infection BS they now have, which is just about guaranteed to happend every 5th zombie hit. Is to run back towards the coast and find a safe place to die. Die off, then return with my new character to get my loot back. Make another 2 or 4 hours of playing then do that all over again.

I was up for a chalange but this just turned into leet or out. I mean whats up with the zombies spawning in the buildings. You can't even go in them any more to look for stuff. Not unless you are looking to be infected as soon as you walk in now.

[dgeesio 1034]

dont like it personally destroyed alot of the fun taking out things which many were used to our making zombies stupid.

loot more rare for no real reason , zombie knockdowns blah blah pre 1.7.7 is better. hopefully devs will look at what is fun over function and stop trying to be cool. cool is not trying cool just is.

so in other words if its good leave it and it was good . keep things simple .

fix animations and stuff that needs doing stop messing with little stuff that doesnt need tweaking like loot and zombie knock downs.

has anyone ever scene zombies move or knock people down in anything like dayz ? = no.

[St. Jimmy 1631]

Best patch. Some tweaking is of course needed but overall one step to the right direction.

[dgeesio 1034]

yes and the zombies or politically correct infected are nothing like in dayz.

you are only bitchingarround all day...

how about less bitching and more adoption to the new situation?

the loot is fine now. This is the apocalypse - not a Mall! what do you expect to find in such a world? where should all that massive loot came from we have seen in previous versions? there is no supplychane - there are no factorys anymore - it is SUPOSED to find near to nothing and that if you find food or ammo that it has a worth!

do you think you are the only one looking for food and stuff in stores and houses? the might be was someone before you. bad luck, try another house!

bitching arround instead of adopting gets you only in one direction: to a onewaystreet to death!

but i think you where some of thos PVP-kids who only rund down from the sinperhill to re-food and continue sniping bambis at the shore... and if the new situation is making that kind of people change their gameplay or leave its all for the good.

[Chaingunfighter 917]

I don't know why people are complaining about 'lowered loot spawns' so much, it still seems like gear is super common, it's just very spread out in an unrealistic manner.

Still, raiding the NWAF with my buddy turned up;

2 MP5s, 1 DMR, 1 M4A1 and 1 AKS-74U, and a fuck-ton of ammunition for the MP5.

I don't like how unrealistically spread out the loot is, though.

[Trizzo 632]

Care to qualify how you gauged the 'realism' (finding it to be wrong) of spread out loot in the post zombie uprising peroid?

[tajjuk 65]

Care to qualify how you gauged the 'realism' (finding it to be wrong) of spread out loot in the post zombie uprising peroid?

Surely it's virtually impossible to judge any 'realism' considering this is a computer game of an entirely unrealistic situation and the game also contains many 'unrealistic' elements.

Perhaps what he should have said was "I don't like how illogical the loot spread is" ?

some other blah blah blah

but i think you where some of thos PVP-kids who only rund down from the sinperhill to re-food and continue sniping bambis at the shore... and if the new situation is making that kind of people change their gameplay or leave its all for the good.

I think this assumption makes you rather stupid. Most of these types of players you allude to would never be on these forums nor would they play main hives either.

Either accept that other Day Z players have some legitimate concerns about the patch or shut up.

Personally I voted unsatisfied, the overall direction of the patch is fine but they way they have gone about it is terrible and lazy IMO. Zombies needed fixing before they got cranked up and now they just don't make any sense, nor does the infection and knock downs. Just some horrible game mechanics in this patch that have just made the game more annoying rather than challenging.

I'm assuming you mean going to a hospital is no longer the best place to find medical supplies?

The new loot makes sense to me, in a situation like this with people all around becoming ill to some mysterious disease and all society breaking down i'm pretty sure one of the first places to get raided would be the hospital for medical supplies.

These supplies would then either get used up or get spread around as people succumbed to the illness or got their face bit/shot off.

And from a gameplay point of view it encourages players to slow down a bit, now that shitty little village with only a handfull of residential spawns is worth stopping at just in the hope of grabbing some antibiotics.

Changes three things and I choose "Satisfied".

1. fall through impact. changes to this: you standing - Z attacking - you get duck - Z attacking - you get lying (only one position to ground down each attack)

2. pathfinding in several houses barns

3. silence attack from behind must be possible with hatchet etc.

I like the rest, low loot, harder zombies, rar antibiotics.

i helped test this patch i know what it is and what the difference is. its not harder to play its just more boring less fun. why do people its a skill based game it isnt.

i dont need to adapt its easy to get by zombies and get the stuff required if i need them but it just takes more time which isnt wanted.

as said carry on youll kill your own mod. fun first functionality second.

Protip: if you're going to copycat other people and especially the use of everyone's favourite buzzword "adapt", at least learn how to spell it.
