Dementia (DayZ) 4 Posted June 21, 2012 Im having a bit of a problem in DayZ, I just lost Rangefinders, NVGS, M4A1 CCO, Silenced MP5, Silenced M9, the best backpack AND a car because a zombie attacked me when I had 8900 hp, and his friends came along and killed me. Does this not seem overpowered to anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reale 5 Posted June 21, 2012 zombies/infected should be powerful and dangerous, they should be feared... the last thing I want is to be knocked down but i think its part of the game.. once you get to the higher end its easy to stay over 10k blood without pvp...zombies to me shouldnt be trivial like they seem to be in other games, I actually go out of my way to avoid them and not even kill them...just an unlucky incident Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stupar123 6 Posted June 21, 2012 Thats why I always carry NVG :)Also,I was once knocked by zed thru window.but I had luck that my character got up until they managed to walk through building to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RachetSmurf 2 Posted June 21, 2012 I'm fine with the way it is now, except for them being able to hit you through walls still. I often make it into a building well before they reach me (when detected) only to be smacked unconscious through the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slyguy65 499 Posted June 21, 2012 Ya the way they make the zombies "stronger" is stupid or just plain asinine choose your word.Zombies in EVERY interpretation have been shown to only be scary or powerful in large NUMBERS and not individually (aside from *special* infected but there aren't any in this game soooo ya)you should not even be able to get one hit KO unless under 5k and every 1k lower you get the rate of being 1hit KO doubles that would make sense.

Blasty 0 Posted June 21, 2012 I got hit once when I had 11k blood by a zombie and just died instantly. It literally went right to the "you are dead screen." My debug monitor still read 11k blood. It was strange, but I wasn't alone so I didn't lose my stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reale 5 Posted June 21, 2012 NVGs are great for that reason... Night time PVP, its not like everyone has them- I have only come across 1 pair in almost 200 hours of play, plus the three other people I play with who have never had a pair and have played for the same amount of time.I was punched to the ground recently and was laughing when it happened and was screaming at my friend to get me up...maybe its not about the zombies being over powered but maybe you should think about making yourself less vulnerable to this things happening by running with someone else...lonewolf is dangerous for that reason alone, if shit goes bad - it goes very bad.Ya the way they make the zombies "stronger" is stupid or just plain asinine choose your word.Zombies in EVERY interpretation have been shown to only be scary or powerful in large NUMBERS and not individually (aside from *special* infected but there aren't any in this game soooo ya)you should not even be able to get one hit KO unless under 5k and every 1k lower you get the rate of being 1hit KO doubles that would make sense.actually your wrong' date=' there is a very very early black and white movie where a zombie is raised from the dead at a mansion and he goes round killing people (he is a zombie brought back to life via voodoo*) cant remember the name but i used to watch that and Night of the living dead a lot.

I think it was called something different on the UK release I had but its about 1 zombie going nuts...*early interpretations of zombies are the classic Romero zombies and then there was the Voodoo zombies... even in the Night of the living dead, the first zombie (cemetery zombie) kills Johnny and almost kills barbra...Then on top of that, these are considered INFECTED so you can then go down that path of 28 days later/ l4d route (and Rocket even said this on a recent video that they are alive and infected, you should check it out as its on the dayz news tweet thing)[Another edit] Just realised how much of a zombie geek I am :S[ANOTHER EDIT!!!!] I just remembered a recent movie with a CRAZY zombie fight... 1v1 too and its AMAZING (best fight with a zombie in any movie yet) the movie is called HORDE (or La HORDE) and its basically L4D the movie... a knife fighter goes crazy with his blade on two zombies... its amazing. there is a 1v1 with a chick too but I dont want to spoil the movie lol. <-------------------- WATCH THIS NOW! it is amazing... you should all buy the movie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walrus2517 27 Posted June 21, 2012 The same has happened to me. It sucks but its rare and realistic. I'm not sure I want there to be some fixed amount of blood below which these things start to trigger because then you can play around the mechanic. Knowing there is a small chance an encounter with even one zed can be deadly adds to the experience for me, even if it is damn frustrating when that one hit knockout is through a wall.

LOLOL seriously though i mean they are the same thing. Voodoo white... yaaa zombie strong.And well night of the living dead first off it was one of those "caught off guard" zombie deaths usually the first hundred or so victims in the zombie apocalypse will be idiots or confused or just not expecting it.BUT SEE we are at the stage where the shit has hit the sky the fan is no where in comparison. SO for you to get one hit by a zombie is pretty bullshit with super high health. Plus this is alpha and for it to be a bug is 90% more likely than it being intended.

ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted June 21, 2012 Zombies in EVERY interpretation have been shown to only be scary or powerful in large NUMBERS and not individuallyExcept, you know, like in 28 Days Later which most closely emulates the DayZ zombies - remember they're not dead, they're infected humans (i.e., necrosis and rot would not effect structural stability or muscle integrity so long as they continue to feed).Anyway, take the hint people. You're not supposed to be alone. Being alone is supposed to be bloody dangerous. It's one of those incentives to cooperative teamplay that people are constantly claiming do not exist?Alone you can die to a single zombie strike and nobody will be there to shoot the zombie, epi-pen you and bandage you. You will bleed to death and maybe next time you will realize this isn't a single player game and maybe having someone around to watch your back is a boon to your survival.

Dementia (DayZ) 4 Posted June 22, 2012 Im not trying to say NERF ZOMBIES TOO OP LOLOLOL im trying to say that maybe Rocket should make the knockdown at around 6000 blood because it really isnt very fair that because I just BARELY was low enough I died and lost all the gear I had worked hard to get because of something thats (dare i say) overpowered?If they wanted to buff zombies, they should have made them do more damage like 400-500 a hit instead of 200.Edit: And the only reason I lone-wolf it is because I dont have a microphone to engage in teamspeak and everyone i've met ingame has either A) tried to kill me or B) killed me. If anyone wants to play w/ me PM? (wink) :)If i were you i would be rushing to the spot i died at rather than going on the forums and complaining.I'd do this, but I was somewhere at the VEEERY northern part of the map.
