applejaxc 2500 Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) New zombie type.Infections are even more deadly. Still lots of dickhead bandits. Weapons are a little less common overall. Edited August 1, 2013 by Applejaxc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xalienax 621 Posted August 1, 2013 Everything ha changed. "Oficial" servers with god steady High pop are quite scarce now. I would strongly advise checking out some of the Community-Made iterations like Origins or DayZero. they have much bigger Populations now and continue to get fixes and improvements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weapons are a little less common overall.I wouldn't Mind the infections or the improvements to the zed except for the so called "re-balancing" of loot spanws which IMO totally ruins the experience. Hospitals without even a single friggn painkillers is lame. Add to that the still glitch behavior of AI in arma where they can momentarily lunge thru walls, stairs, etc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) I'd say there are very few high grade weapons or sufficient ammo (hold on to it if you find some). Also, zombies are more sensitive to noise and can see you from stupidly far away. Infection is rampant. You will be lucky to get up the beach without dying on some days. Give up any ideas of building a camp and storing weapons and food etc. Not so easy any more. I spent two days just looking for a backpack on one server (they'd removed them so you didn't spawn with one anymore). Edited August 1, 2013 by Sula Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpyGat (DayZ) 497 Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Here are some things you missed: - Hackers are not nearly as "rampant" as they use to be.- Zombies are now an actual challenge rather than a minor nuisance.- Stashes help you hide your prized inventory items in a nearly invisible spot.- There are about 24 different mods to choose from.- There are pistachios and stuff. Now go get'em tiger! Edited August 2, 2013 by GrumpyGat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
