Zombies

[V4ReVolution 3]

I hope that they never ever make zombies less of a challenge.

Make them harder and increase their number.

[flygamer1 176]

I kill them. then they lag hit me, or i get swarmed. (if i bleed from 2-3 zombies fine). right now they aren't a challenge. i have come close to near death 3 times struggling to look for a bandage. its ridiculous 

If it bothers you that much stop going on forums, no one said you have to stop by and tell me there is another fourm. 

If you even bothered to read the rules it's search before posting moron

Everyones loves the lazy way they made zombies more challenging?   Lets just spawn the fuck out of broken and glitched zombies out of thin air while crashing the entire fucking network with epic lag?

 

 

Yeah, great patch.    I cant wait to see the next patch.   Will weapons spawn out of the sky followed by animals?   Just spawn some fucking vehicles out of thin air in front of our characters.  I want more of this immersion and realism.

We are all aware this method is far from ideal. We also know the dev team wants this game to be realistic. We understand you are not a patient person that can see an alpha for what it is. we strongly suggest you come back in beta.

One hit bleed should only happen if you're wearing next too nothing. They're not Wolverine Zombies, so why would they cut into your Military gear or Bubble Jacket? Please somebody defending this silly addition enlighten me.

[belphegor_goatzombie 100]

^ IMO, it might not be "realistic" but i love this as it makes them more dangerous and fun.

Problem is not with their numbers, or way they can hurt you, break your leg, hand, feelings, whatever. I wanted Zs in bigger numbers and to be strong as well, have them in huge numbers in towns.

Problem is they can spawn like flies on fresh shit, everywhere and from nowhere. THAT should be fixed. Just give it a time and you'll be pissed as well, when you spend all your bandages, shirts etc.

Call it however you like, I want to have it this way. Don't call it survival, call it marathon. Permanent runningfor your life, with no place to hide. That's my point of view. They cannot pleased everyone.

[Survivor_Ted 269]

i believe the zeds are merely placeholders right now. they'll work on them eventually.

 

Oh, yes of course they will. I have full faith that they will create real mean man eating beings in the future. :)

Before people are whining

 

Zombies are too easy.

 

Theres too much KOS

 

People don't group together

 

This game is boring...

 

Now when they beef up zombies to make them a threat its all whine whine whine.

 

The biggest issue is just the zombie pathing which is being worked on

 

[archone88 29]

Havent got hit once since new patch. And Im in middle of cherno atm.

 

Sure they arent exactly balanced atm, but if youve played the mod, then these zombies are nothing in comparison.

 

ADJUST!! LEARN!! Go along...

[Hans-Uwe 1]

I dont give a shit what was in arma mod. I didnt pay for arma mod, I didnt play arma mod. This is forum about, and game called DayZ. Sounds to some of you like many of use do whine, whine,whine...If I dont like somethink I try to fix it. And because it's alpha, negative voices should be heard as well.

[comikz 218]

I've said it once, and I'll say it a lot more, I am very happy that Zombies pose such a threat now, they are no longer a laughable part of the game, and now with them being buffed up, actually make this game more challenging.

 

Seems people who don't like them being stronger, are the ones who usually go all PvP Deathmatch 9000 in Elektro and don't want the Zombies spoiling their "Fun"....

 

The only thing that needs to be changed is their ability to walk through walls/rooms/floors/doors ect. besides that they are as they should be a threat...

Adopt to survice, that's the way to go!

 

These zombies seriously need some fixing, before the patch they were alright but now. One hit bleed EVERYTIME even with uk vest and clothing. I have gone through at least 10 bandages just from my trip to elec and cherno. And the new melee thing is making it worse when you're indoors. Thoughts?

 

You can't be serious! Playing a zombie game where the zombies pose no threat?!?! oh man, Maybe you should play something else?

 

You are doing something wrong if you just wasted 2 1/2 bandage roles going from electro to Cherno. The zombies are not the best but why do you want them easier, I want them to be a challenge not an annoyance.

 

Absolutely right!

 

Please dont fix this, i even want more and harder zeds.

 

Same here!

 

yes, almost guaranteed bleed on first hit, but i've figured out a good strategy against them with melee weapons; circle around them (strafe) and hit at the same time. they miss all their attacks. took down every maggotsack in Berezino with a pitchfork.

 

it's pretty hard to take down more than 1 zombie at a time before you find a good melee weapon, though. wich is good.

 

You shouldn't dance with the zombies, but run!

 

I like the 1 hit bleed idea, it was like that when I started playing the SA so I have no problem.

 

It just doesn't fit in my head that a reanimated dead corpse is that strong.

 

I just imagine that they long, sharp nails, so when they hit me, it's like being stabbed.

 

In my perception, they are more like infected like in 28days later or I am legend.

 

It's actually 1 shot.

 

I think zombies should be killed headshot only, making you bleed in one hit.

 

The undead I do not fear, as long as they're behind a screen.

 

That would be so awesome! But I wouldn't mind if you had their body with some bigger rounds like 5.56 for a couple of times to struck em down.

 

^ IMO, it might not be "realistic" but i love this as it makes them more dangerous and fun.

 

We need to fear the zombies!

You're right, I guess.

 

Yesterday I went down south with a friend and encountered a bunch of Zs. Because I own a pristine fireaxe I can even be encircled by 5 or more and still be able to come out without even bleeding! And this is imho not what I call a threat

[komadose 190]

I need to engage in a deadly tango with them, if they come between me and my loot.

I found a rose in Balota that would be perfect for this dance! :)

[b0hem 21]

survival is not for pussies  :rolleyes:

Thoughts...

 

Be smart when you loot.

[Zee_Panda 29]

how realistic is a zombie touching you and making you bleed. You see people in UFC take massive hits and beating and they dont bleed as much as I do.

yeah well i think it's all good but it's not very logical at the moment. they should make the zombies grab you and bite Resident Evil style, wich would make more sense to cause the bleeding. then again, i don't know if it would work because you lose the ability to control the character for a brief moment. would make zeds harder in good way, though.

[kaix12 34]

what wrong with one hit bleed or breaking legs or catching disease do you think if one of these som-bitches grabbed you you'd get away with out a scratch shoot them if its a problem then juke them...why the hell do I need to say this shit for this is common knowledge but dammit don't make this game a pussyfest we need hordes that are like this they need to spew disease from there mouths you need to shit your pants when you see one then die of a heart attack in real life when you encounter a horde just from the sheer adrenaline rush. sorry I'm getting a little aggravated I thought this is what we signed up for is zeds and death and now that its here and its a faint glow as of now you want to make it easy.hmmmmmm i'll have to think on this.

Whats bad is that the walk through walls and then do it by hitting you through the floor...

I'm all for making zombies harder, but insta bleed isn't the way, especially not when we have constant network problems and they are buggy as hell. In my view the best type of zombies are like the ones in breaking (but less buggy still) so that 1 in 1 they aren't powerful but when you have 50 suddenly swarm then its hard, and as you can see on the videos they nearly always end up having to shoot the zombies, in dayz I still don't all I have to do is melee hit them simply because they are so annoying I don't want to attract more, they aren't hard but atm they are just incredibly annoying.

Mh, i`d love to see different kind of attacks from Zs in the future...like normal punching and leaping towards you, as it already exists, extended by biting, a tackle attack that has a chance to knock you down, a grab (maybe different outcomes, depending on where it grabbed you, when ragdolls are in...) followed by biting...ah, let me dream ;)

oh yeah! that would be so cool. currently they are tracking your character pretty poorly, and there seems to be sort of delay, so as long as you keep moving, it doesn't matter if theres 10 zombies around you. they just can't hit you :)

[Buffaloe 87]

Goddamit, these threads enrage me!

 

Listen up you whiny wieners! MAN UP!

 

We need more, stronger, and hungrier zombies!

[umberfive 89]

I like those zombies. Now we can see it as a survival game. I always wondered where all those people of Chernarus went.  :D

[Jex 1104]

1 hit bleed is fine considering in 28 days later they only need spit in your mouth to turn you. They should add a grab mechanic too so if you run through a pack of them, they grab you and hold you then drag you down and then eat your guts, smearing them all over your face as you watch your body ripped apart.

 

Are we play PussyZ or DayZ people???!!!
