zombie health

[mcBain_101 25]

has the zeds health been increased? because just now my survivor which was a week old got ganked by some zeds because they wouldnt die.

there was a heli crash site just nw of stary sobor. and cause it was so open decided to do a smash and grab job. i got in pritty close without being detected by the zeds. i fired a shot at the one zed with my revolver tht was standing in my way. i hit it square in the back. i carry on running thinking in a few seconds it will fall over, it doesnt. instead it aggros and attacks me, it takes another 2 shots to bring it down. by now ive pissed off some of his mates. i shoot one before he attacks me hitting it in the chest....nope nothing. then i get globbered by 3 of them whilst im wondering wtf is going on >< and as soon as i hit 9k blood oh look unconscious! this game is so cruel ;(

I had the same problem today... revolver was doing Marakov damage. I did not die... but basically spent all my ammo. It was good headshot practice though. I was going to post a bug but I did not note what server it was on, and I would like to assume it was server based.

Also they survived a shotgun blast, but my lee was doing 1 hit kills as it should.

i fired a whole m9 mag into a single zombie by now, sometimes take a M16 mag to kill 2, 80% of them hitting (missing some due to sudden laggy jumps and turns), deffo too much. then again it might be lag, a few days ago i was raiding the big airfields fire station. 2 people suddenly spawned in, i shoot one guy in the face who was right in front of me and popped up that i could loot him. the other guy i put the remaining 13 shotgun slugs into him, 3 of them being in the head. he turns. kills me and as i fall see the 1st guy i was able to loot just talking around as if nothing happened, want happy at all, but then again it is still an alpha and it is free so we can't complain to be honest. every day there is a patch and the people work hard on the mod to get it to what we all want it to get, but we are a long way until then, we have the beta still to come haha. and the arma2 beta will need to be completed before dayz goes into beta (so im guessing)

I shot an AK once to the chest, once to the legs and the zed kept crawling towards me. Pistols sucks hard now, G17 needs like 8 shots to kill a zed lol, even the 1911 and revolver need several hits to the body to kill. It looks like If you are going to use pistols you need an Alice backpack FULL of ammo or you wont be able to take down a horde of zombies.

Zombies are now a threat :)

[mcBain_101 25]

should of read around the forum a bit first seems there is a few threads about this xD

Zombies are now a threat :)

because my survivor had everything he needed like cooked food and canteens i havnt been anywhere near zeds for days xD just typical lol

because of the engine mechanics it makes getting multiple hits on a zed quite challenging, especially to not waste that precious ammo

First of all, i think this game is far away from realistic it ever can be..

1. Zombies got no brain.. (How can they run so sick fast, even faster than people with a brain..) You got no chance to kill them cuz they run so stupid fast..

2. Minecraft is more realistic then Dayz as it is now, there Zombies can't run true walls.. Run like 2 times humans, breake your legs true a wall, break your legs even when u stand 2 meter away from the zombie...

3. Why focus on makeing the game HARDER, than trying to make the game playable..

4. There is no chance to team up really, cuz you cant spawn with your friends.. and u cant find friends, cuz all people shoot everyone in sight!

5. i got my own server now, and ive locked it, cuz im tired of not be able to play the game as i want to play the game, its about survival, NOT FPS game, like battlefield..

People wouldn't shoot other people IRL if zombies were here, they would group up and make bases..

Jeezz..

and stupid spawn rate on cars and stuff.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i actually noticed a weird thing: happened to me as well with the revolver, but all these times happened on VETERAN servers. on regular servers, the damage was normal.

2.) i believe they actually run somewhere around 1.5 times faster than survivors, but it's irrelevant really because they have to stop to attack so you can essentially run from them forever without taking damage. about realism:

3.) because first you add in features during alpha development stage, then you iron out all the kinks in beta development stage traditionally. and:

4.) once you learn the map better, and get some orienteering experience/techniques under your belt it's not so hard to team up. takes a while though, and can be frustrating but if you stick with it, it gets better. if your goal is to team up with friends and avoid getting shot on sight, i would recommend finding a lower pop server to start on so you can meet up, then perhaps switch to a higher pop one. i'd also recommend staying the hell away from anyone you don't know, too many people have gotten stabbed in the back by "friendlies" at this point, and trust is a rare commodity.

5.) i very much disapprove of you having locked your server, it goes against the spirit of the project. if it's a hive server, i hope you are blacklisted immediately. the people ARE supposed to be the greatest threat to survival in the game, if you disagree that's fine, but you've completely missed the point of the mod:
