jebotibogmater 0 Posted March 26, 2014 I can't help but notice DayZ has become far worse of a playing experience for me lately. >Spawn in the far east.>Run to Stary/Novy Sobor looting along the way. (Avoiding east cities due to overpopulation)>Get chased by 50 zombies in every even remotely loot-filled place. (ever since the patch they're just stupidly hazardous)>Find no sharp weapon whatsoever>Bleed on every zombie hit whilst trying to find food and other supplies.>Run out of bandages/rags>Bleed to death if not killed by something else sooner. This has been my story for the last 5 or 6 spawns. I think I'll take a break for some time and hope the devs make the game enjoyable or at least playable.

It seems like the perfect experience for me in a Zombie game. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, this guy seems a biiiiiiiit weak.Trust me man, once you get the hang of it, zeds will be EZ. Mainly when you realize that cities suck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gekkonidae 270 Posted March 26, 2014 Right. If anything they just upped the learning curve a little bit, and I really have no problem with that when compared to the very small one pre-patch. I personally think they should make them a little harder/higher in numbers. I appreciate that this is finally becoming the zombie survival game we've all been waiting for, slowly but surely, instead of DayZ of Duty: Apocalyptic Warfare. Keep the changes coming! :) As for the OP, Guppy's advice is best. go read around for tips. play around with a single zed to get their movements down and how to evade them, etc. Even if it costs you 1 life, getting used to how they move and react will let you know how to react in the future when you have a bunch on you. Some other things to think of are "How much distance can I be ahead of one that will allow me to stop and loot 1 item?" or "what should my strategy be for getting rid of them?" Melee weapons work pretty well on them and you can still time it to where you can move out of the way before they land a hit on you. Practice headshotting them with a melee weapon while moving about so you rarely get hit. You can still get rid of them, it just takes some maneuvering.

Synton 15 Posted March 26, 2014 Still quite easy to lose zeds, just outrun them and break the line of sight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
