Zombie damage to items too high

[korpisoturi (DayZ) 127]

First of all I agree that zombies need to do real damage, spread diseases etc.

 

But come on, one random zombie hit and all your stuff is ruined?

It's totally random, 1/50 zombie hits doesn't lower item condition and when that 1/50 hit comes, BOOM your fucked.

Where damage comes seems random too, maybe affected which stance you were. But sometimes it's pants, sometimes vest, sometimes jacked and sometimes it's two or more compined.

 

I think damage system should be disabled as of now until they make items downgrade less radical (pristine to worn or damaged for X number of hits)

 

Has anyone else noticed this and would agree?

[frosti 2165]

Zombie damage is random and I kinda like it.

 

You always have to be scared becouse you never know if this zombie that is after you is extra strong or gonna crit hit you.

Meh.

Yes but no way in hell it should be instantly ruined in one hit, after its ruined you can't repair it with sewing kit

I agree with that...

 

Maybe if they took a pristine>badly damaged

 

Then you repair to worn...

 

Then it takes worn>ruined.

 

Then we at least get to plan for it a little :)

[over9000nukez 199]

id proofer like 10 zombie hits is one stage down in damage.

Zombie 1 shot my pristine High Capacity Vest  to ruined and I am fine with it.

 

This encourage players to shoot zombies and stop them from rapairing items infinite amount of times and make them travel the map tryng to find items again.

 

Random 1 hit ruined items is ok for me.

It also makes whole idea of having sewing kits completely useless.

 

It's good for you if your ok with it

hahah exactly! I always plan to make it back to the coast for people watching but rarely ever make it as I am usually having to find and replace all the freakin gear that gets damaged by the zeds I encounter on my rather meandering route to the coast. and they say there is nothing to do endgame, hell there is no endgame.

I disagree. I've repaired my police uniform jacket with sewing kit at least 10 times now.

umm I use my sewing kit all the time. you have already admitted that instant ruined state is random which means a lot of the time its just getting a little damaged, I am surprised you are not crying about the one-shot kills by zeds too but again they are pretty random and lately rare. just chalk it up to the fact that sometimes the zed gets the better of you, I mean after all, players do that to each other all the time, zed is just another player in that respect.

Why would you need to use sewing kit all the time when zombies insta ruin stuff, do you get shot so often or does your smugness rot your items after a while?

"just chalk it up".if everyone would say that to every bug/glitch there is this game would never be fixed. I really don't believe this random insta-ruining zombie hits are working as intended.

 

I could as well say to you "just chalk it up" on combat loggers,ghosters,invicible zombies, server hobbers, zombies running though walls,rubberbanding, connection issues, horrible optimization, list goes on and on and on.

I bet you want something changed in this game, just like everyone.

first of all you don't have to be an asshole about shit.

 

I am not a PvPer so I rarely encounter other players. zeds do NOT insta ruin items every time they hit you, I should know I get hit a lot by em. they will badly damage pristine items a lot and if you are properly using your containers they will often damage or ruin the container and damage the contents but not ruin everything in them. maybe you are just doing it wrong. at any rate it gives you something to do besides hunt other players, now you can go find better gear.

 

I never said it shouldn't be fixed but I am also sitting here with the understanding that the zeds are STILL placeholder items in the game, there is an entire studio now working on that. I also never equated quirky zed behavior to hacking, cheating, or game breaking bugs (this zed prob is not game breaking by any stretch) - you did that. if you find hacks or cheats report them. buggy zeds have been reported since release.

 

edit: I forgot to address what I want in this game - I want it finished, no more no less, and bitchin and whining about shit over and over again will never get it there.

Zombies rarely insta ruin stuff. They much often damage it.

Yes its a pain when it happens but its easy to find replacement gear. Yeah I know it was a press vest/ttsko/high capacity vest but this isn't WoW where your gear has stats, unless you're one of those peeps that has to have a certain look. I rarely carry high value items in my coat or vests due to the damage zeds do to your clothing.

Last time I checked this was a zombie survival horror game not a run out and get geared then camp and wait to shoot people game. I enjoy the fact that zeds are becoming more of a threat than a mere nuisance that they used to be. If you're bitching about a zombie or 3 ruining your sweet lewts, what will you do when they up the zed count? Heaven forbid you actually have to move every so often instead of playing camping simulator .45. Its not going to get any easier, I would suggest you learn to adapt to the situation

[hotcakes 348]

I don't get hit by zombies unless they sneak up without a sound.

I would not mind them sneaking, but those bastards teleport and walk throught walls and other objects. Wait I said walk? They run with sanic speed, and that's overkill.

[rybo 171]

Same happened to me. I had a pristine riders jacket that was ruined in one hit. Then I found a pristine tactical vest and proceeded to be beat and grabbed all night and today, it's still in pristine condition.

 

Yea, it's random and more of a pain in the ass than a feature. Now if I was talking multiple hits from multiple Zeds at once then I could see the carnage happening. But, with one Zed. No, that's just laughable.

 

If one Zed can ruin the leather jacket on my body then I'm sure it should have also ripped my chest wide open like in Aliens...
