beavis_5000 111 Posted September 30, 2013 The zombies are tougher to deal with than regular veteren servers. It seems like there are more zombies and the more you kill the more that come in cities and Air Fields. The bad thing is that the server is extreme PvP and pay to win and it seems like its set up specifically for the people who donate to pick off new spawns who dont donate. For example barracks at Airfields are right in the middle of the field so bambi's desperate for loot are dead meat trying to get there because they either try to sneak their way there and get picked off or sprint and if they dont get picked off they are swamped by zombies that dont stop coming. And if you do manage to find a good weapon 90% of the time (literally) it has no ammo with it. I dont mind it but I would say most couldnt handle it. Good loot is as rare as it used to be so that leaves to pay to win people basically running the high traffic areas with rare weapons they spawn with. This is the only thing I would change but its still not too big of a deal, if they want to play that way let them, all the better to kill them lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iegle 117 Posted September 30, 2013 Well, I was not expecting this. The server as you have described it does not sound appealing at all. "extreme PvP""pay to win"blech... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beavis_5000 111 Posted October 1, 2013 Well, I was not expecting this. The server as you have described it does not sound appealing at all. "extreme PvP""pay to win"blech... What makes it awesome is the zombies are more challenging than even the regular veteren servers. The extra challenge seems to bring about less PvP between the non pay to win players. If you run into someone trying to loot a town and they have literally 30 zombies chasing, one thinks damn i know how you feel. I agree pay to win is weak but the only thing that makes that relevent is the low loot and harder zombs. I think much harder and more zombies is the way to go with this game. Sure there will still be bandits but I think most people wont shoot someone who is being chased by 30 zombies they cant get away from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beavis_5000 111 Posted October 1, 2013 I wouldnt even call it exteme PvP, I would call it extreme pay to win vs bambi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beavis_5000 111 Posted October 1, 2013 And the pay to win people are easy to avoid because they are all on the coast trying to kill bambis. So stay off the coast and your all right and really who stays on the coast any way unless your trying to PvP. Im working on getting a camp going with all kinds of sht then going back to kill the pay win people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meat pie 632 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) so let me get this,best server is not the base game with lots of players,its not a good group of players its pay to win,with less loot and pvp where new players (Because you cant fucking pay me to call them "bambis")are killed by people who drop 20 bucks to get some sniper when the start up.and the glitchy zombies are even bigger in numbers?10/10 sever would play again Edited October 1, 2013 by meat pie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess my main point is the harder zombies seems to take some of the KoS out of the game other than the pay to winners. Would love to find a server like this without the pay to win, maybe even with harder zombies. Its true to pay to win people are the huge negative about this server. The tough zombies adds more reason to play the game than just killing people and it gives more reason to team up with someone when you seen run into somebody. Ive seen people make this suggestion in the past and really didnt think it was the answer. But when I got in there and experienced it was different. You dont see things like two people with Winchesters going at it. I in fact seen someone run across a field to help someone trapped in barracks by 20+ zombies. I seen the dude trying to help run to a bush to bandage and type in side chat "Dude in barracks, gotta bandage im trying to help". Ive never seen anything like that. They got out and took off and I tried to catch up with them but lost them. Even if I seen a bandit with a Whinchester I didnt shoot him (thats just me im sure most would shoot any bandit). I would bet 90% of regular players on this server wouldnt KoS someone they seen with a Winchester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NagsterTheGangster 388 Posted October 1, 2013 You didn't link the server though... But it doesn't sound fun anyways, who wants to pay money on a free game mod? :p Although I like the realism sounding things in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Castle (DayZ) 23 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Sure there will still be bandits but I think most people wont shoot someone who is being chased by 30 zombies they cant get away from. Someone didn't play DayZ pre 1.7. Oh those days back when you couldn't lose zombies, they ran 1.5 times as fast as you, your guns alerted them 200+ meters away, far more of them spawned, and they respawned faster than you could kill them. And people still killed everyone else. Good times. Edited October 1, 2013 by Castle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And people still killed everyone else. Good times. Ive been playing since Feb. Maybe it was like this back then and I didnt realize it with my inexperience. I know when for a fact whn I first started playing loot and good weapons were far harder to find. Similar to this server. And I remember zombies would just keep coming too but not in the numbers on this server. And sorry guys I dont know how to link but the server is Planet-Dead and the website is Planet-Dead.com. Didnt want to seem like I was advertising. And in the description it doesnt just describe it as a Veteran server but it says Veteran CH:ON. Does anyone know what that means? I assumed it has something to do with the tougher zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Difficulty just means settings like peripheral vision, 3rd person, waypoints, etc. It has nothing to do with zombie difficulty.

haywardgb 129 Posted October 1, 2013 Did you wake up this morning and think to yourself, "I'm going to write a post that contradicts the very title of said post!" ... Why didn't you say that you like servers with MORE zombies (more zeds does not make them tougher zeds, just makes them MORE), because there are plenty of private servers out there with custom zed spawns etc.. But I wouldn't call a pay-to-win server "best" under any circumstance. We accept donations for our server but make it clear there's no benefit to it (other than good will and kudos), everyone (even admins) get vanilla loadouts etc.. If made the zombies any tougher, we'd have to close down the server due to psychological trauma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many zombies that no matter where you go you have to watch that shit and it was awesome.

Bury it already :)\Hanlon's razor'Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.'_Sounds like one of the worst servers I have ever heard described.There is no KoS because they are all picking off new spawns at the coast, not because the zombies are harder.If you want a harder time without idiots cheating take a look at DayZero.
