CompReg 0 Posted June 20, 2012 I have to say, after this new patch the game has gotten more challenging. No weapons at spawn, zombies spotting you from a mile away. For all the bandits with their full gear and tier weaponry it's not problem. But what about us guys spawning on the coast, with no weapons, and zombies that see us when even prone? My only point here is that while I love this mod, I don't have 3 hours to spend prone in Cherno trying to get to the hospital. Even then I'm most likely dead before I can reach the town. Am I the only one having trouble with the change? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Promagnum 1 Posted June 21, 2012 Well, don't worry. Seeing how it's still in the Alpha stages, it is highly possible it will change again. To what? We'll only know when it happens unfortunately. I recommend until then that you enjoy the new prone simulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turin (DayZ) 3 Posted June 21, 2012 Lots of people don't like the changes. Personally, I think it's a good direction for the mod to head in.The game was far too easy before. When I died and lost all my loot, I just didn't care because I knew how quick and easy it would be to get it all back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially if you stay close to buildings. I only prone when really close vicinity. Loot seems to be working right now too.. they also don't go crazy the moment you enter a building anymore. Seems this hotfix really balanced stuff out.I've been seeing weapons and supplies in almost every structure I've entered. Definitely more playable now and zombies are just the right amount of challenge now.. really feels right again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUTLER (DayZ) 4 Posted June 21, 2012 Yes, I agree. I've been stuck in a circle of death ever since the changes. Call me lazy, but when I die I go to the big cities to find some quick loot and since the zombies got their vision improved and their damage increased I always break a bone and pass out. My last death was from a single zombie that sneaked up on me. I had about 8k blood and he broke my bone at the first hit, which led to me passing out and then bleeding out. I love the fact that the game is getting harder, but imo it is too much RNG involved. Make me die because of a personal mistake instead of a zombie just getting a lucky hit on me.

Its called balance. Maybe you should go inland, go to smaller towns and get loot there( until you get a gun) then enter a big town prepared.( in general to everyone)This really is pissing me and others who actually know how to play a game off, use your head and FORGET everything you learned in other games.
