trav 11 Posted May 15, 2012 Please dont flame, I realize the basis of the game is surviving, and that death is inevitable. I love that aspect of the game. What I dont love is that (In my experience, which is admittedly limited) once I am out of ammo, I am pretty much dead. I am SORT OF ok with needing a knife to butcher an animal.I am ok with dying from starvation or hunger.I am ok with being able to die from bloodloss.But the running out of ammo, and no melee option really hurts my butt. It might be a result of my noobness (if it is, please tell me the solution) but when I am out.. I am out. Sure, I can crawl near a Zed, and maybe find some ammo on a loot pile, but when I actually loot the gear, I sit up and the Zed aggro's.I dont think that it would be unbalancing (in that it greatly impacts your ability to survive... since the odds SHOULD be against you) to have a chance of spawning ammo in some of the empty farm areas, or places like that, where zeds rarely spawn? I am not saying that it spawns 100% of the time in these locales, but if you are out of ammo, it is a carrot... Gives you something to chase, when you cant fight anything else. Hope this makes sense, sorry if it doesnt. I am typing it from work, so I am getting interrupted all the time. Stupid job... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skurcey 11 Posted May 15, 2012 yeah, i think melee would be neat too. But the current AI set up, wouldnt work much with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oktyabr 53 Posted May 15, 2012 There is fairly long thread going on about melee in General Discussion that may interest you.http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=2648 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trav 11 Posted May 15, 2012 I saw that thread, and wrote this assuming that melee is just plain out of the question. As a sort of alternative to the bat/crowbar/axe.... gives ya something to do when you have nothing. If there were melee weaps, I wouldnt even suggest this.

stripes 92 Posted May 16, 2012 Yea u should have at least half a chance of beating a zombie to death with your fists (or maybe even strangling one lol). A few times I've killed several zombies only to be killed by the last one (& that's after I have shot him!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
