DayZ, easy mode zombie apocalypse?

[Nille (DayZ) 35]

When I started playing DayZ, I was quite excited to have found a well made zombie survival game. But this excitement sadly didn't last long. The more I got into the game, the less I feared its zombies. It's easy to get rid of them, regardless of how many there are. By now they are just annoying, if they notice me, I'll put a bullet in their skull and continue my search for loot.

Once you get a decent primary weapon, they don't pose a threat to you anymore and because of the lack of zombie deadliness I am far more afraid of other survivors, cause we all know its kos in 99% of all encounters. Just like many others, I suggest to buff zombies. Make them more resistant to bullets, buff the damage and let more spawn. I want to be afraid of them, I want to be forced to run away from them if necessary.

Please don't get me wrong, I love the game, I think the survival aspects are well thought through and it gives you an great impression of how an post apocalyptic world could actually look like.

I just want the zombies to be a consistent threat in this world and not just for the fist few hours of gameplay.

tl;dr zombies are drags, please buff

Hey your not alone in this discussion, i agree something needs to be done with these zombies. Im finding DayZ is becoming more of a PVP game featuring zombies. Instead of it being viceversa. I feel as if zombie movement should be changed up, also maybe giving the zeds the ability to grab its victims. A health buff is also must. Then again were still in alpha. You and i just have to cross our fingers & hope for the best!
