Zombies are back in charge - good job

[dgeesio 1034]

in my last game i was in a field crouched about half a mile away from nearest zombie then it turned and ran over to me i didn't even move that isnt 1 realistic or fun

Half a mile is ~800m. I don't believe you.

so :huh:

i was on a hillside zombie crouched just turned and ran at me :rolleyes:

that isnt fun its daft !

what some people dont think about is imagine the area you have to cover on foot . now imagine how much slower you just made the game with how the zombies are ;) sometimes you have to trek for miles and takes along time now you just increased this time by double becuase of super sighted zombies.

i guarantee you this what will happen is either

we are just finding the stable ground and will revert back

this is a alpha :rolleyes:

you were right :D (never happen ever )

think about what zombies are they are a slightly worse or more worse than human being slower moving do to body damage in ever area due to decay . so how can they have human or super human sight.

simple and to the point . they should have at max 60 percent of what the humans have in game in awareness.

What's the hard part to understand that if you can see a zombie.... he can see you.

I have yet to see a zombie pull out his binocular eyes and spot me a mile away. On the other hand, you can't just walk past a zombie 50m away and feel comfortable because he's outside some arbitrary aggro radius - even though someone half-blind would be able to see you.

You are retarded, and it's sad.

And you're a moron, and he's right. It is indeed "anti-materiel".

;) WTF thats HILARIOUS!!

I think its funny how your calling someone a retard when your obviously wrong, its called materiel. There's a wonderfull thing called google, use it before you call someone a retard.

Allow me to crawl in buildings, and make zombies not ignore all matter in their way and i will agree with the zombies running inside...until then...fuck no.

hard and challenging is fun and all but having it BE hard and challenging through BUGS and GLITCHES and general bullshit...ya no that is just a pathetic cop out for difficulty.

The core mechanics of the mod should be fixed before trying to make it as challenging as possible.

oh ya cause 300m is so more fun and real...fuck that zombies are DECAYING FLESH in all logic they should not last more than a month or two adding the effects of weather and terrain they should only last a couple weeks maybe A month nor should they be faster than a healthy human being...

Point is their detection is pretty bullshit.

Well it looks like the latest patch is an attempt to make this game about survivors versus zombies again. At long last. A random guy took a few post shots at me in small town' date=' and he attracted a horde to himself and got killed. It was hilarious. Thanks for the kit dude - Call Of Duty is that way >>>>

[/quote']

this game will never be about players vs zeds, rather player vs player. and will continue to be that way. Even if zeds were invincible, i would ride around on a bike find a survivor hop of gun you down hop on and ride away from zeds into the sunset.

But thats a word spelled two ways.they are both right.

Actually' date=' they're two different words.

And I'm kinda awestruck. I've been in a military family for 20 years and I've read countless books on military tactics and such. And I've [i']never once noticed that difference.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

well at least he didnt dc like a pussy' date=' no need to make fun of him.

he tried to kill you

he failed

he manned up and take the death

[/quote']

Agreed, it's nice to see a legit player staring death in the face!

I just watched Rockets new interview on Eurogamer. It's all good stuff. He emphasises that the Zombie aspect is just a backdrop to what he wants to create which is a kickass survival game.

[robo (DayZ) 7]

Was just playing on a 65 out of 70 player server and found a heli crash with lots of zeds but they didn't seem any different. Maybe it's because it's night on the server and grass silenced my footsteps for 0 noise and 0 vis. I'm way too chicken to run through a town to find out though.

Hopefully the "oh, it's just a zombie" days are over. They're lots of fun to evade :D

[Hawk24 94]

Call Of Duty is that way >>>>

It seems to be common behavior among absolute morons to eventually mention CoD at some point when talking about anything PvP-related

<<<< the carebear sanctuary is that way

You can freely discuss evil CoD-PvPers there

2 points.

1. Alpha is for finding these bugs and glitches and then working them out of the game, shortly, BUGS and GLITCHES are here to stay until a long way down the line.

Better to keep it hard and iron out the bugs than nerf it and not do much work fixing the bugs.

2. The 'Zeds' aren't DECAYING FLESH. They are infected enraged humans. Still alive humans.

Oh' date=' my sweet naive child. If you think a few angry zombies are going to stop my group from murdering you, you have another story coming. A sad story. A story that involves my two favorite companions dealing with any zeds in the vicinity with their 1600 combined rounds of M249 ammo while I deal with your silly face with my AS50 anti-material sniper rifle. That material is your face. My gun is anti-your-face.

Maybe we will spend a few more bullets than we did before the patch but please don't think you're safe.

Do you have any idea how cheesy you sound?

As cheesy as it sounds, it's probably 110% true. It's wise not to fuck with Zed.

Zed doesn't even see the gaping holes in his/her own ideas and just like every other twat on here just swaggers about shouting down any discussion while waving an e-peen about like post count and big talk matters. They are as tedious and unhelpful as all the people crying about patch changes 2 hours after they come into play.

Well then i'd better not go to the NW airfield on the random server him and his teenage friends probably camp all day.

After all, his gun is anti-material, and that material is our faces.

Do you have any examples of this, or are you waving about your own e-peen in retort to make yourself look higher-class?

Nah. I know a lot of you player-hunter deathmatch guys want it to be that way for everyone, but I'm here to tell you that it's not. Not sure what game you're playing, but I've been playing for a while now, and at least for me, the game is almost entirely player vs zombies. 99% of the time I die to zombies and NOT other players. In fact, as careful and stealthy as I am, I rarely even see other players most nights, and if/when I do, I just avoid them.

It definitely can be played however you wish to play it, and works perfectly fine either way--which is how it should be. I know some of you "it's ONLY about PvP!!" dudes hate hearing that, but it's true. It isn't really that much about PvP if you don't want it to be and are smart. :)

Even if zeds were invincible, i would ride around on a bike find a survivor hop of gun you down hop on and ride away from zeds into the sunset.

Ha, come at me, bro. You'd be dead the second I see you stopping the bike. If you keep peddling, though, we're cool.

Which makes it even sadder when down to earth lone-wolfers like you and me get killed by super-nerds like him.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

It's cool when people point out glitches, bugs ect. Thats the whole point of Alpha testing.

What really pisses me of is thread after thread on the same 3 subjects with people just complaining as if it's a game they've just run out and bought.

P.S - Having to buy Arma to play it doesn't count. He made this mod originally as a technical excercise on one server for his own amusement and really wasn't expecting it to become popular at all.

When it becomes a stand-alone game (which it will) and you go and pay money for it (which I will) then you'll have every right to complain (which you will).

For now why don't you just use this forum as intended. A place to discuss features, report bugs, make suggestions and so on. Pointless bitching doesn't really achieve anything apart from wasting the Devs time by giving them more shit to sift through when seeking feedback from players.

Aahhh! Cherno is not a safe place anymore!

[ZomboWTF 527]

lets wait for the hotfixes, up until now, i've had better fps, which is awesome, and cows run away now!^^

zombies got harder, im okay with that, bandits tend to completely ignore them even with a dinner bell

It's anti-materiel. So unless our faces are pieces of military hardware he got that wrong too. Lol teenagers. (I'm 19 and Australian so I count as an adult).

Anyway I'm glad zombies are getting buffed even though as a newstart I might be doubly screwed now. My initial starting strategy focused a lot food/medical supplies but I think I'm just going to try and find a weapon first.

Watchout guys we have a badass over here.

[Mercator 30]

hard and challenging is fun and all but having it BE hard and challenging through BUGS and GLITCHES and general bullshit...ya no that is just a pathetic cop out for difficulty.

I would suggest that for now...just learn to work around the bugs and glitches. A lot people have done that for years! They have been around In Arma for a long time, don't expect a free mod still in it's alpha state, to completely work over the base game. Give it some time...and in the meanwhile let the people that work on the mod, do what they can with what they currently have.
