These MUST be addressed or this game is garbage

barbwire (REMOVE IT FROM THE GAME FOREVER):

-the last several servers i have been on people are just using barbwire to close off entire rooms full of good loot so that they, and ONLY they, can server hop around and collect it for themselves. normally this wouldnt be a problem since i can usually just step over it. but just today someone blocked off a tent entrance containing what im assuming is the only assault rifle for miles in this game, and they placed it on an angle and i could literally not (believe me i tried 10 times at various angles) step over it at all. so the only way to get that gun is to server hop. and that just ruins this entire gaming experience

zombies see too far:

-i spawn and stand there for maybe 5seconds before a zombie from literally 500m comes charging at me for no reason followed by a second zombie who wasnt even facing me, from at least the same distance

-zombies will often still see me from behind from at least 200m for no reason at all

-zombies can still quite easily step through walls in buildings to get to me, and they can also still see right through walls most of the time which is very annoying

zombies are too fast:

-i encountered a zombie, just one, tried to outrun him or lose him around several dozen trees and bushes, this went on for 5minutes before i finally just let it kill me so i could respawn, i would have liked to simply kill myself but apparently this is no longer possible....thanks

-zombies still glitch when they run right up next to you, so it takes no less than 2 swings of a hachet to kill them, one swing to miss literally every single first try i make, and the second to maybe hit them finally and kill them

p.s. i really enjoy the idea of this game but these glitches make it very hard to have fun anymore

If you cannot 'vault' over barbwire you can still however remove it entirely if you have a toolbox, I know these can be hard to find but once you have one then you remove all the barbwire you come across.

I do agree though, either make barbwire harder to find, or increase the drop rate of the toolboxs.

As far as the zombies go, I have to disagree. I think they need to be made harder and more of them.

As far as the wire, carry a toolkit.

the others I don't remotely care about.

i have found maybe 3 toolkits in as many as 30lives and 20hrs of gameplay, toolkits are so scarce its ridiculous, yet i find more carparts than i have on my actual car at home

also in the old patches i could crawl on the ground and never be seen by a zombie, yet just now i was crawling in grass, and a zombie from BEHIND A BUSH and still 100m away somehow saw me and chased me down, i had to let him kill me cause i just spawned,

find a toolkit and stop complaining its alpha

[Glimmermang 25]

I hardly see barb wire infront of specific areas with great loot. When I do it's because there is a clan on the server and you must abide by their law.

Do agree there should be some more toolbox drops though.

yea retard did you read anything i wrote above?

Toolboxes aren't common, but they aren't hard to come by in my experience. Hit key industrial points, you'll have one in no time.

[dra6o0n 15]

Maybe make zombies have a more narrower line of sight, like 24 degrees so you have to be running in front of their vision for them to notice you.

Giving them a 45 degree view would be too wide even for a 'undead' that has blood covered eyes.

Someone would just destroy the barbed wire just to troll them then.

i understand what you mean but in my experience they all have 180 degree vision if not more sometimes, i wish i could find a zombie with even 90degrees view range

[fap 9]

I usually destroy every building I've been to with a smoke grenade, love that bug.

Don't really see anyone ever complaining about it, though I'd be sorta sad if all the barracks on the server were gone :P

They should make bizon sd and fn fal mags more obtainable from something other helicopter crash sites. that makes those weapons useless

What a stupid excuse. Alphas are for fixing core, game-breaking bugs. Not for adding features. Last time I checked, impassible barricades and fucked up and glitchy zombie AI are bugs that break the game's core gameplay.

For one, this "game" is only a portion of a game. This is a mod.

Second, this mod is currently in Alpha testing. This means that the Dayz team is more concerned about fixing bugs that make/break this mod. Having the ability to find toolkits isn't a game breaking mechanic. Farm an industrial area and you'll find said toolkit in no time.

Third, you're right. Zombies shouldn't be able to see you regardless how close you crawl to them. This mod is to hard. </sarcasm> Oh, did you read the sentence about this is Alpha testing? Seeing how this is a mechanic rather than a bug, I don't see much getting tweaked any time soon. Not to mention it's pretty damn easy to move around any city (which are full of zombies) without being noticed.

Maybe they'll tuck your concerns away in a nice little "who gives a fuck" box which will be looked at when Alpha testing is over and the game breaking bugs (majority anyways) are fixed. Until then, enjoy the free mod this team is busting their ass on so nerdy ass gamers can enjoy something instead of going out to a bar and finding a drunk straggler to play the rape game with.

• Yes they put barbwire and kill you for no (aparent) reasons. Other players can and will influence the way you play. Toolboxes can removes them. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
  
• Zombies do not see at 500 meters, they do HEAR from pretty far, especially gunshots. Either you, or another player shook the diner bell.
  
• Zombies only see in front of them ( Rocket confirmed it when he introduced a "bug" where the view would follow their head position, which would give them too much vision )
  
• That's a flaw in the pathfinding, nothing Rocket can do about, it's BI's job.
  
• Zombies have to run fast because you aren't ment to be able to shake a tail of zombies simply by running. It's either that or add a stamina system which will certainly piss off everyone. There are other ways to shake a tail.
  

[evolution (DayZ) 51]

Let me guess what happened to you;

1- Zombies spotted you from afar.

2- You tried to lose them but they caught up to you (because apparently they're too fast to make this game enjoyable)

3- You tried to enter a building but it was barb wired and you died.

4- So you raged and made this silly rant.

Please tell me more about how the game is garbage.

hey OP

Umad carebro?

find a toolkit and stop complaining its alpha

well this is a suggestion thread so that excuse is pointless here now isnt it? do you know what a suggestion is?

but yeah a toolkit is your friend as far as barbwire goes
