Aetla 7 Posted January 3, 2014 Hey guys, I've just started to play DayZ for 50-60 hours. Here's what i think of game so far, First of all Zombies pose no serious threat to the players, their numbers lacks at everywhere. They're buggy and even annoying time to time but ive never died at least for once because of Zombies. IMO, zombie count should be seriously multiplied especially for larger settlements and key positions like military bases and airfields and such. I mean if i'm a lone survivor i shouldnt even dare to enter a big city without a pack of survivors without forming a group. Same as for bases. Even if you don't have a sharp stick you can go there and loot military gear and leave the place. I did that couple times in Kamenka base. And the forests imagine guys hordes in wild. Remember Walking dead hordes. Randomly moving around and pose serious threat to players who thinks the forests are safe and secure. Real good loots should be deep into the Zombie infested territories like big cities and bases. And without forming groups it should be impossible to get the loot and reward. And such an elevation of Zombie threat could decrease the pointless bandit activity because you'll need other people for your needs and form temporary alliances and interact with people more than ever. You think twice before firing a bullet first... Zombie survival environment should encourage people to socialize and interact more with the others. With guns or without it but becoming a lone predator makes the game large scale Battlefield experience with some survival elements. And replay value seriously gets harmed by it. And please... Revamp the melee combat. It's annoying and buggy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professional N00b 347 Posted January 3, 2014 It's an alpha, I'm pretty sure increasing the zombie count is going to be included fairly soon. From what I understand it was originally released with so few zombies because of performance issues, but that should be corrected soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome to the forum, heres some info you might like http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ More Zombies Target delivery: Ongoing We absolutely plan to have more zombies. To cope with the current total dynamic entity count of over 10000 we have had to make a great deal of optimizations. If loot is completely removed, we can easily run 4000 zombies in our debug builds. In the new year we will be optimizing the way we handle dynamic objects (such as loot) a great deal more which should give us significant savings - but the change was considered too risky to be done prior to alpha launch. If we had problems, we would have delayed the project further by months. Also, much of the melee animations are placeholders and most weapons are not configured yet, it may take a while, but your concerns should be addressed at some point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
