Keep the zombies the way they are

[Awruk 216]

Seriously, who plays this for zombies anyway? It's a survival simulator with dog eat dog gameplay. Killing zombies is boring and will be boring no matter what you do. As of now zombies are fine cause you encounter 1 or 2 within 5 hours time. Keep this a hardcore PvP game, there are plenty "keel the zombies" games out there.

[zifadel 48]

I 100%disagree with this. More infected, and more intelligent.

[Arciere 10]

I play for the zombies, even if there aren't very many... yet.

You're gonna be in for a rude awakening come final release.  :D

[Monkfish (DayZ) 339]

Indeed. Zombies are likely to become a very real threat, even for experienced players. It's one thing that'll (hopefully) reduce KoS mentality.

While you are entitled to your opinion I get the feeling this is just troll baiting

Faster, louder, scarier, must

[tristanyockell 11]

Yeah I vote for 28 days style zombies, so long as they make the movement, combat and weapons realistic/effective and not stiff, buggy and unpredictable it will make for a great and adrenaline pumping game.

Absolutely ^this. Although, I think people will be in for some surprises during Alpha. When they start implementing the features that makes DayZ what it is, you will see people like the OP being the first ones to bitch.

The Zeds are too tough/many, infection/sickness is too tough or environmental factors are ruining my PvP! You watch...  ;)

Never seen a DayZ video "check out our awesome zombie adventure!!!!!11" it's always about player interaction and real people. Zombies are boring and buggy. Arma engine is a clunky piece of shit, the only reason it was even used in the first place is because it's so moddable and supports large open spaces.

 

Only PvP makes you nervous and makes your heartrate go up, stop denying the facts.

Wait until they respawn and don't clip, then decide. Right now they might as well not be there.

Zeds drive player interaction. Without them or some other larger goal/opposing force, the game can only go in one direction.

Because it's a fucking alpha. If you think zombies will stay like this then you're retarded. I can't wait to see your reaction when you realize you wasted your money because this game won't be CoD

Yeah because CoD offers persistent world and hunger system. I know zombies will be changed/fixed but that's a step in a wrong direction. If I wanna shoot dumb NPCs I play Serious Sam.

Simple, play battlefield, CoD, there are a lot of games with PvP.

I think Zombie visual distance needs to shorten, I figure if there were zombies, their eyes would be degraded and not be able to see you very far.

 

loud sounds should get them moving in its direction, probably even farther then now.

 

low sounds shouldnt cause any reaction.

[Bush_Wookie10-4 61]

I hope it becomes like the Mod was when they had like 10,000,000 lol. What version was it that it was just nuts zombie much all over.

You don't see a difference between a "instantly hop into action" FPS game and "prepare 2 hours and lose everything in 2 seconds" kind of game? DayZ doesn't need zombies to retain its most important feature.

[RedPhantomX4 26]

I agree that it is a really cool PvP Game without the zombies, but Rocket said that he is going to add more Zombies anyway which is fine with me, but yeah, i like the PvP Feeling to it while not thinking of zombies.

Because it's an alpha. The Arma AI isn't really suited for zombie behaviour and so the devs have canned it in favour of a new system built from scratch. The current AI is just a placeholder until the new system is finished so, at some point during this year, the new AI will be implemented. Then you'll shit your knickers pink.

Stop denying the facts. ;)

[Capo 323]

i don't really feel i need to explain why op's "suggestion" is so shit. so i'm not going to. fuck you op, one of the shittest ideas ever to be written on this forum. 

 

please come back when you have some perspective.

If they left the zombies as is, I would imagine that 80% of the player community would abandon Dayz and never look back (myself included).

 

When i ran a server for the mod, my players were constantly asking for more zombies.  I did manage to increase the number significantly but it caused major lag on the server and caused allot of issues.

 

I can say that if they get them working, this game is epic.  I've run through elektro being chased by 150+ zombies - changes the game for the better!
