Aiirr1 0 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys/Girls! I just updated my Dayz Standalone. For some reason now i can not kill zombies... THEY JUST WONT DIE. I have recently died because of this, and so when i restarted i tried to kill again with a 'machete' this time, i hit and hit, and still nothing.. is anyone else experiencing the same problem? if so do you have any advice? Also the speed of zombies has been increased,i personally think it is a great idea, it has made zombies more of a threat, because lets be honest, they were more of an annoyance before. Thank you for the help, if i get any! King Regards Aiirr1 Edited March 22, 2014 by Aiirr1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrappleX 354 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) The machete takes a metric ass ton of hits to kill a zombie. Seriously, thing blows. Edited March 22, 2014 by GrappleX 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Lone Survivor 64 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I used the pitchfork on 1, and it took 2 hits to kill it. As the new speed on "The Running Dead" makes it far more difficult to get supplies when your being zerg-rushed by 5-10 zombies at once Edited March 22, 2014 by The Lone Survivor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaidenOZ 6 Posted March 22, 2014 i like the new speed. what i don't like is i can sprint and never need to stop. but hey its alpha. i think we should be able to just keep ahead of the Zed, until we are too tired to run anymore. then your dead. but by then we should be able to sneak and not attract aggro and hopfuly make it so its safer to be stealthy then just run through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solodude23 649 Posted March 22, 2014 Ok thanks man, i guess a thought technically in reality a machete would tear a zombie apart!I think it's going to be fixed. Hopefully sooner than later. As for now, the axes, the farming hoe, and the pitchfork seem to be the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are on my own encounter with a Zombie(s) in 0.43 Patch and I know that works. Edited March 22, 2014 by w00kie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weyland Yutani (DayZ) 1159 Posted March 22, 2014 Zeds are dying fine on my end. Actually, just lured 2 to the beach and they died on their own. In the last hour I've fire-axed more than a dozen. Maybe its the machete your using as well as a touch of desync. JMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathlove 2286 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) The .22 Sporter is OFFICIALLY a piece of shit gun now since they increased the running speed of the zombies even when you have a few banana clips there still extremely resilient to the hail of fire you give them plus since it can attract zombies easier the gun is more bait than an actual weapon now. The zombies need to be toned down allot this isn't a game like Street Fighter 2 Turbo. That logic shouldn't apply to a game like this. Instead make fat zombies that explode or something along those creative lines not this ubber speed increase crap. Because of this buff you now only have 30 seconds or less to react to the zombies which is an unrealistic speed even if zombies somehow were real.

JMO.Watched one fall off a crane, and died Watched another try to run at me, then fall into the water (I was on a concrete dock) The Rest...fell to my 2-hit pitchfork, what killed me...was a "Session Lost" Edited March 22, 2014 by The Lone Survivor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree, this change makes the game a lot more challenging, it makes survival harder! Exploding zombies aren't realistic at all, and i think thats what is great about dayz, how real they make a zombie apocalypse seem! I think many would agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KaidenOZ 6 Posted March 22, 2014 yeah the fire axe is still king, works great still. people just need to adjust there aim for the new killzone. instead of just wildly swining for the kill, circle walk them and time your swing so when it reachs the end f the strike, the zombie is right in front.

Buffaloe 87 Posted March 22, 2014 I love the new zombie speed. I don't get why people complain about it... You can still easily outrun zombies The new animations and the jumping looks pretty cool too. The problem is just that the zombies sometimes jump through you, without dealng damage.

Aiirr1 0 Posted March 22, 2014 Nether is zombies with UNREALISTIC SPEEDS. How the fuck do you even justify that state Each to their own i guess, you think the speed is unrealistic, but personally i think that a zombie running at you at that speed is more realistic and more exciting!

I dont mind a speed increase but they need to be dialed back a shit tone. Maybe a tad faster than before but nothing this fucking radically game breaking.

Maybe a tad faster than before but nothing this fucking radically game breaking.The speed increase is fine, its way better, imo then how slow they used to be. You can still out run them....perhaps youre carrying 2 weapons? If so, its time to choose which one you actually need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buffaloe 87 Posted March 22, 2014 Dude, the fact that they are zombies is already unrealistic....I don't see how you can bitch about !ZOMBIES! beeing not realistic -.- Be a man. They die fine to axes, and bullets. The zombies are there to be a challenge, imo they should become even stronger/more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The zombies are there to be a challenge, imo they should become even stronger/more.I think some of the zombies should be able to run fast like that but it should be completely RANDOM. So you will have the normal one like from previous patches than every once in a while you'll get a cracked out super version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
