Konfucious K 183 Posted October 10, 2015 It is a weird feeling but I definitely feel like the atmosphere without zombies is much more ominous than when they were swarming the towns. Now I walk around every corner scared of my own shadow of losing gear to a random camper where before it rarely crossed my mind. Is it just me or anyone else getting this too?

PrincessRobotBubblegum 27 Posted October 10, 2015 There is a noticiable difference for me too since zombies were temporarily removed. Like you, I think many used them as a heads up for other players, though that sometimes was still never a sure way to say of an area was safe. But zombies will be back once more! I think everyone is hoping for the .60 update from what I understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avant-Garde 229 Posted October 10, 2015 I am always very paranoid in DayZ tbh, I think there are players everywhere even in empty servers 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And really, most times I run into the only other player on an empty server be it in the middle of nowhere or in a semi-popular area. It's crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's crazy!I had the craziest and the most intense firefights in empty servers hahahahaha, sometimes in really unexpected places. Its like, I go to the airfield and not a single soul to be found, then I'm running through Stary Yar and stumble upon someone! These moments are so scary lol, I have to control myself to not freeze in place thinking "OHSHIT OHSHIT OH SHIT" I learned my lesson, I must be expecting people at all times, everywhere and at every corner there is a potential camper. Also sprint = death here lol, so no sprinterino for me unless to run away from bullets 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konfucious K 183 Posted October 11, 2015 I'm glad it wasn't just me paying for a misspent youth with an extra dose of paranoia. I'm looking forward to their return for sure, but I don't mind waiting, just glad the work is getting done and aspirations haven't changed. Still, the lone survivors will be the hunted game until then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noctoras 409 Posted October 11, 2015 every war in the past 4 decades not necessarily. Much more like "till a drone makes your screen go black" these days. Not much fighting back there ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atempleton 123 Posted October 13, 2015 The absence of zombies for me does take away a heads up that was essential for me to detect players in towns and airfields. Now I rely on positioning and spend a lot more time observing before going into areas. I've also had some crazy gun fights on low pop servers. Last night I had a 6 man private hive server - and we bumped into a 3 man squad in the middle of the night that we wiped out. We didn't lose anyone but I took a 5.45 to the leg and one partner took a 7.62x54 to the chest. We killed two of them, and wounded the third before we decided it wasn't worth it with no loot to gain in the fight.I'm a hell of a lot more paranoid and observant now and the general boredom without zombies still often makes me unprepared for a fight.

darkrider400 76 Posted October 14, 2015 Agreed. Zeds used to comfort me because I've met players who needed help fighting zeds and we'd be friends :PIt keeps people from looting buildings so quickly and cleanly too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
