Please focus on what's important: the zombies!

Dear Rocket and the team:

 

Please focus on the important things when making the DayZ Standalone. It may sound like redundant advice but it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. New features, locations, weapons and items are great, but they are negligible in comparison to the fixes needed on the zombies.

 

Now, I know very well some of the things you guys are adding to the DayZ Standalone regarding zombies. I've seen new animations and a reworking path finding system so far. But this area needs more improvement.

 

This is what I hope can be fixed before the Beta release (that are still issues in the gameplay footage I've seen of the Standalone):

 

• zombies clipping through walls
• zombies moving sporadically or chasing the player in a very odd and inefficient manner
• zombies knocking out a player or killing him extremely quickly, even at full blood
• zombies' attacks not being synchronized with the player receiving it

 

On a side note, it would be nice if zombies could not open doors, but instead, could only break them down. Also, a zombie should not be able to climb a ladder. :P

 

Once again, I know you are aware of the issues with the zombies. All I'm asking if that you have them as your main focus.

 

Have a good day. :)

The team making dayz is well aware of these glitches and they are going to be fixed in standalone (hopefully.  If not then complain away).  Reminding them isn't going to make it happen any faster.    

 

The suggestion forums are more for ideals then bug fixes. 

 

Hope I didn't sound arrogant or anything.

These issues are going to be fixed for the SA. These are going to be sorted out during the pre-alpha before it's released to the public as an alpha.

I think it's more than likely supposed to be a scratch or bite... And I don't think anyone's ever been hit once at full blood and managed to bleed out, the bleeding generally stops itself after a while, lol.

Still.  It takes a lot of strength to cut someone deep enough to cause any kind of real bleeding with only your hands.  It could happen, if you let your finger nails grow long enough and you hit hard enough.  But most of the dmg would be minor and heal on its own.

 

But then again.  ITS A GAME.  You can't look too deeply into some things.
