It's a joke relax, but I honestly am not too fond the new patch. I'll look for the hotfix..

"DayZ is boring. All you do is run through buildings to get loot and avoid zombies."

> Patch that adds more features to make the mod more challenging, with a promised hotfix for the things that were KNOWN to have gone wrong.

"DayZ is too hard, the new patch sucks, you can't do anything anymore."

Just because you can't save yourself with buildings or pine trees, doesn't mean the game sucks. Learn to play the damn game or find a fan-made variation. This IS a SURVIVAL game, after all. And a brutal, unforgiving one at that.

I'm not complaining that it's too hard, but why make zombies really challenging, when they are already buggy, they zig zag, they can walk through walls etc? I'll let the standalone sort everything out. The new patch really put me off dayz. I'd like to see the zombies act tough, but when their pathfinding is fixed etc.

Fair points, the path-finding and common wall-clipping.

But I still believe that this patch has been a step to the right direction as far as challenge goes, and making the zombies a threat, instead of an annoyance. I still remember back in 1.4.1.5 when I used to lay prone and crawl through Elektro with two tin cans and stacks of flares to attract the zombies off of my path. The zombies were far from a threat, but I didn't know better. After I learned how easy the zombies were to trick, I didn't crawl anymore. I simply ran, since there was no fear of being knocked onto the ground or getting caught.

Now I can have those fears. And this is where I start enjoying DayZ again.

I agree for sure, but what I'm saying is really hard zombies doesent quite work with them, as they are really buggy and kindof need to be more fluid. But yeah, I do like how it makes them harder anyway, forcing me to crawl. It brings back the memories when I had a road flare attatched to my hand while i was combat rolling all around the place. But the infection is another problem. NOT because the zombies make you sick, but because I will find one box of antibiotics in 10 blood bags.
