Making zombies harder will fix the bandit problem

[Avean (DayZ) 31]

I've thought long and hard how the problem with everyone killing anyone on sight could be fixed, and i imagined myself in a world with tons of zombies and how hard it would be to fight them off alone.

The problem right now since zombies movement are so ridiculous and theyre attacks so weak we can just run through an entire city, aggroing 20-30 zombies and survive by either luring them into a small opening to take advantage of theyre dumb AI, or just log off and login again to "reset" the zombies.

Imagine if zombies were smarter and more dangerous up close. Right now they just slash you and you loose a bit blood, but in reality that would mean you would be dead already. Getting slashed by a zombie will make you infected if we are to follow any zombie movie to date.

So if Rocket fixes the zombies, making them more dangerous and smarter, i am sure people will start to cooperate instead of killing each other.

Many players now are killing other players cause zombies are basicly just placeholders right now, they are not scary or pose any threat whatsoever.

So i hope zombies gets fixed soon and making them alot more dangerous, that will change the mentality of players BIG TIME.

What bandit problem? I find the ones killing on site arent what I would class as "bandits", just noob players scared, paranoid or greedy on the south coast.

the zombies are hard enough as they stand and glitchy enough imagine even more of them :o and i'd rather have rocket work on adding things into the game than worry about the zombies if anything just fix up their animations and stop them from teleporting but other than that there really is not bandit problem you either need to roll with some friends or avoid ppl altogther
