ToasterDiagramm 62 Posted June 25, 2012 You need to change the map. Me and a friend where scavanging around and were able to see each others locations on maps. That's okay. We've played together for a couple of hours.However we were able to see strangers on the map too. People that we never even spotted (regular server). I'm also quite sure that they haven't spotted us too. So that needs to be fixed. I would love to create and join groups or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spacecraft 3 Posted June 25, 2012 Personally I think the zombie los/sound detection is pretty good at the moment. In movies etc zombies notice people at greater distances than in DayZ so there is no real need to complain about that. The only suggestion I have is maybe when they hear a sound like gunshots or footsteps' date=' switch them to investigative mode rather than aggressive mode until they spot you visually or hear you make a more human like sound.[/quote']This! Zombies need to run to the area of the shot and investigate, not go straight to the shooter. That sounds like it'd make some fun gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyanyde 165 Posted June 25, 2012 Yeah I would love to see zeds do more investigating of noises. Throwing a can to draw them to the noise is a good start, but if I'm running behind a wall, the zombie shouldn't agro on me, it should come to see what made the noise.. Once it sees me, it should chase me, but there's no reason it should start chasing something that it hasn't even seen yet.As for current detection, I agree it's pretty good.. just needs some minor adjustments to make it more realistic.

If it allows 3rd person and crosshairs, it most likely allows player positions on the map. It'll also show zombies on the map too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Testificate 7 Posted June 26, 2012 no' date=' we need guns to spawn withwhy is that so difficult to understand?im fed up geting killed by bandits, i cant defend myself.[/quote']Then don't play the mod. I always find weapons within 10 minutes in game after a spawn. Just search deer stands and don't go into Cherno or Elektro. Rocket changed the start equip for many reasons (exploiting, harvesting etc.). Try to team up with other survivors and you will have a better chance against bandits.

cyanyde 165 Posted June 26, 2012 I play on a fairly low-end laptop and it's fine..Granted, I have most of the settings set to low, but I rarely have any sort of slow-down/fps issues, unless it's server related.I'm confident that the new changes will make things even better! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Fever 7 Posted June 26, 2012 Just a quick Bug you may want to look at sometime Mr. Rocket....I think the chickens maybe invulnerable to axes...unless maybe the hit zone isn't centered anywhere near the middle of the screen because I'm fairly certain that me and another player tried to chop that chicken about 10 times each. Wait...that sounded kinda weird reading that out loud...but still..possible bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patluk@sasktel.net 1 Posted June 26, 2012 How about an audible indicator of bleeding? I've watched myself, my friends, and streamers all not notice they are bleeding and lose thousands and thousands of blood unnecessarily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you hear something when you cut yourself in real life? I've unknowingly hurt or cut myself in real life and have gone minutes before noticed it right away.I'd suggest you pay more attention to the blood indicator either in the top right in the debug menu or the hud icon. Both are excellent ways to tell if you need a bandage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imanoobcs 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Please consider adding a fix for zombies. Game is almost ruined with these "super zeds". 10,000+ health and full food, water, everything fine. Walk into a shed and a zombie hits me once. Instantly get a broken bone, unconscious x 5 minutes, bleeding. Dead. After being alive for a good 24 hours and being at the northwest airfield. So frustrating to spend all that time, then watch yourself bleed to death as you curse the game, because zombies run 10x faster than Olympic sprinters, hit 10x harder than Mr. Tyson, hear 10x a frightened deer, and see better than any human ever could. They also run back and forth like they have been trained to be a professional zombie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbats 3 Posted June 26, 2012 He stood upon the beach, lost and weary. A city stood in the east, ready for clearing. He tooketh his torch, and began to run, zombies snatching at his bum bum. He reached the city, cherno by shorthand, sprinting through the streets, zombies chasing their ham. He sidestepped a jumper, through a pub, out the back door, alone once more. Now with that Alice who joined me in the pub, I reached the fire station with my AKM fallen from above. Athlete legs, zombies dead, AKM to the head, this survivor with nothing now a king and probably a sped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
