This game ever going to feel like surving the zombie apocalypse...

[bastuden1 4]

Or is it going to continue to be a large free for all counter strike map, with zombies as a afterthought. It seems odd that the major things a post apocalyptic zombie MMO has going for it is KOS. BTW I freaking love PVP, I just want it to have more, I want a world that feels like the Walking Dead, I want more feature than just a large map, with a little bit of looting, why can't I pull the curtains from a window and use them as bandages... I feel like more things should be interactive in game. Also they should give players more of reason to consider keeping each other alive, I don't want to stop people from killing one another but I just want the game to give people a reason to consider teaming up.

Its all well and good to say "I want there to be more of a reason to survive" but the question is how. Suggestions and ideas are what get those sorts of things rolling. I like the curtain thing.

Are you having problems finding zombies to fight? Go into Stary Sober on this new update by yourself and see what you get. Good Luck

Did you or did you not click the "I UNDERSTAND" button when you launched your game? Well, in case you didn't read anything in the message it's basically telling you that this game is in early access alpha, and by NO MEANS a finished game.

6 zombies is hardly an apocalypse wouldn't you agree?

So no zombies is because it's alpha????

Perhaps you could have explained, it's because the game and servers aren't optimized yet, therefore only a handful zombies are a allowed without clogging up the game.

A lot of zombie games, also in alpha already feature hordes.

According to this guy they never will.

 

 

 

That's a bit of an inflammatory post without his followup comments.....which I can't be bothered to post.

Exactly what I have in mind right now lol, but i'm guessing that the reason why they don't put too many zombies is that the increase of zombies is proportional to the increase of lag people would get, i don't know, correct me if i'm mistaken.

[Jayz1331 62]

people will always kos, more and more kids play these games with the only intention of kill who they can and take their gear, this is the main reason why i keep away and try survive in the very north west as their are less people.

Your new mission should you choose to accept it is to add this image to every thread about Dayz Standalone on the internet! Goooooo!

But if and when they implement all of these ideas this game will hopefully silence all the critics! I just hope they can do it.

I never saw the follow-up comments so I wouldn't know. This same tweet was posted on this forum before, I don't know why the forum moderators removed my original post. What rule was I breaking?

You should have, then you would understand (at least  I hope) that you have posted (quote) something that is of context and a mis- interpretation.

Therefore spam.

And all of those games are also running on more stable engines and didn't have a community behind them whining for two years about the game needing to be released.

What is the deal with Stary Sober? I was mobbed by zombies there after the last update. I had always assumed that zombies would evenly spawn in towns, yet you can go into Novo and see maybe one or two, yet it Stary SoberI get mobbed by 7. Are there zombie hotspots?

[QUAZIMOFO 275]

When the engine is swapped to an engine that can handle mobs I think we will see a lot more zombies added to the game. Also it was said a ways back that the current zombies in the game are just placeholders until they get reworked.

 

Remember kids, games are usually in development for years. YEARS. Especially a game of this size and ambition.

[unit1stealth 5]

Right now, more than 3 zombies at a time is already a challenge.  So I think that if more zombies are to be added, they should be a tad more easier to kill.  Right now, there are some that sprint at you and can catch up to you running away.  Or they chase you for 1/2 a mile before you can ditch them.  That would seem extreme if you were going to add 20 zombies per town/area... and they all start sprinting and chasing you.  

 

And the fact that doors and stairs dont stop them either, doesn't help.

 

I know its still in Alpha, I'm just putting in my 2 cents.

 

 

 

EDIT:  Saw your post @Quazimofo

If it took years to develop this game, that would suck.

I don't know about the rest of you, but if you want a fight, somethings up at SWAF on more than one server. I almost got curb kicked by about 25 zeds there. Not at once mind you, but I had to get crafty to even get my bandages on before I bled out. They just kept coming. It was a pretty intense "fight for your life" moment. Not sure why it happened all of the sudden but stay away unless you have a whole lot of easily re-loadable weapons!

[King Raptor 191]

Tbh I doubt the zombies will ever be interesting. It's not like you can have cool fights in this engine like you can in State of Decay. They're just annoying things that run straight at you and make it hard for you to deal with other players.

 

The game mechanics being what they: slow and clunky, the zombies will never grab on to you, you'll never be able to roll-evade zombies ...
Just hordes of 1990's videogame zombies running after you while you frantically tap the still ultra-laggy vault button.

[slippery gypsy 107]

dayZ not dayKilleveryotherplayeryoucan or as hicks would have you believe dayPlayerinteraction obviously zombies will be worked on even if they are 1990s style straight at you hordes... my understanding the whole concept was a zombie apocalypse big deal 6 zombies in the map atm clearly there is going to be hundreds eventually ... it would be like battlefield 5 not having any FPS pvp you would be all " hey goober wheres the PvP".. the audacity to critique the amount of functional zombies in game ... its like you assume rocket is sitting round with the BI intern saying "hey dude if we just dont say anything you think they will notice" and the intern is like some peoples poet type who retorts with something like " nah brah just put in another gun but like code it for the wrong calibre ammo or some shit " and rocket in his girlish kiwi accent will be all " oh yeah bro these tards will be too buzy to even realize theres no zombies cuz they will be arguing about weapon ballistics and correct ammo use" then they will dive into deans scrooge mcduck style money pool but it will be a small kids style inflattable poole because apparently steam and BI took all the proceeds from alpha sales to pay for a bigger dev team who all apparently to forget to add the sufficientamount of zombies to constitute a zombie apocalypse
