Suggestion: Tougher Zombies

[(TMW) Marion Mic 104]

Hell ow,

(Near zero ability to write and speak English).

I was thinking ... What if zombies were real treat. Devs are constantly saying that DayZ is Zombie game, but the players are ones that represents real threat. So I believe, if Zombies were more life-threatening, players would be happy to see each other in game. "Thank God it's a player" I'd say.

If nothing is putting you in near-death experience (in this case Zombies), well players will start to seek adrenalin. And that has been found in other players. Now to experience adrenalin and to feel blood runs through your veins, You have to meet other player. I believe this is not good. In real life, I'd be happy to see survivor.

Of course there would be bandits also in real life, but not on this scale.

Thanks for (triing) read this^^.

Well my good fellow i must inform you that the zombies were tough in the previous patch 1.7.7.

But afew "people" started having a cry because they thought the zombies were too tough, sadly the devs changed it so they weren't challenging at all.

So by making the zombies tough again would simply have some people in tears and the devs do not like that one bit, so your suggestion sadly will not happen with the mod.

As far as i am aware this was the goal of the latest 1.7.7 patch and was temporarily rolled back with 1.7.7.1 because of some issues.

So we will most likely see this in the mod and the standalone.

Edit: And i think GOD is wrong (always wanted to say that haha), it was not rolled back because people complained but because of issues. Can be read in a post from r4z0r in the 1.7.7 or 1.7.7.1 notes.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

I haven't been playing DayZ for a while now. But I have just installed it on Steam, so I can be better prepared for Standalone^^.

Anyway ... Did you like tougher Zombies in 1.7.7?

EDIT: In what way, were they tougher? Faster, "acrobatic" or they just hit harder?

Yes 1.7.7 was a great patch, did need a small amount of tweaking (may it rest in peace). When it was released the threat level had increased so you really had to be cautious and could get infected if they knocked you down.

Which resulted in a lot of deaths from first contact with the infected, add to the fact antibiotics where rare and once infected time was against you. Just added to the whole experience in my opinion.

Anyways welcome and i hope you get as much frustration, paranoia, enjoyment and laughter out of the mod as most of us have.

Tnx Maca.

Thank you all for the answers. May be we'll see this in standalone or later in mod again. We'll see^^.

I believe thread can be locked.
