Back after 2-3 months.

[enaver 25]

Stopped playing for a while as the game run its course with me as I played it every night none stop.

However I came back today. Im quite disappointed in the way the games gone in regards to the players. The whole attraction to the game has been killed, there is no longer the thrill of knowing whether someone is going to kill your or not, because you just know they will. Got snipers just camping spawn areas just killing people for the sake of it. Just feels like a massive death match now, there might as well be no zombies.

Im sure that this is a post that comes up all the time and I am just going to get flamed the hell out because I have stated opinion against yours.

I'm not sure what your goal is in posting this.

Posting my opinion on a game, which you read.

Not everything needs a goal.

I agree with OP. It's basically a giant PVP deathmatch (with zombies). At one point, Rocket brought back a fair bit of power to the zombies which made players shit brix. People complained that it was too difficult and Rocket took their difficulty back down to the point where zombies are not a substantial threat to the average survivor (instead, more of an annoyance really). I think zombies need to be 60% - 80% harder and less predictable before players may actually work together to survive.

TRUEST STATEMENT OF THE YEAR 2012 :beans:

Once you get a gun zombies are not a threat at all.

The only reason you are scared of alerting a zombie is not because it will kill you, but because you know it will alert players of your presence.

Totally agree with the OP, I think the only time I've not been shot on sight was my first time playing at the start of my first life (about 1.5-2 months ago). Players need an incentive to work together and stronger infected would be a really good one. At present they are so easy to kill its not even funny!!

This is too much true.

Buddy, you have now idea..

You're bothered by all the PvP? Well, at least that's part of the game.

Wait until you get teleported into the sea, teleported into the sky, teleported into the 'thunderdome', nuked or turned into a cow/goat/rabbit/zombie.

I keep seeing threads about how the game is all about PVP now so I am begining to think I have this post burned into the back of my eyelids. Oh wait it is a slight variation on the formula, its from a player who has come back after a few months and not some butthurt noob. Still this is thread 1245196 about how the game is now just a PVP game.

2/10 will not read again.

The hackers have impacted the way people are playing. Not much point in putting in days of survival if you're going to get mass killed by some dork with a script.

Hopefully things will settle as the bannings progress and when we get to standalone.

Im not bothered by all the PvP, infact I love PvP. However when it is all there is it gets boring fast.

Also I've had my fair share of hackers ruin the game for me.

It is just a PvP game, I wouldn't mind if that was how it was in the first place. Its the fact I have seen the game decline from what it once was. If you played it back then it was amazing.

I can bet that most people who have played the game before it got massively popular would think the same.

Im surprised you read & reply these threads if you don't like the content.

Meh..therer is a lot of pvp , we as a small group dont do it and still meet people we either help or just let pass..obviously helps when you are not solo and have a few more eyes scanning but even playing solo i manage to interact with at least half of the people i meet without getting shot. Maybe its because we never play regular servers ?

i played PVE style for about 2 weeks. Finally got the hang of the game right before everything went mass pvp. Had a good stocked group of 3 and we mowed down zombies in town after town. Got up to about 300 kills each and then we stopped and asked....What the fuck are we doing now? There is no PVE end game in Dayz. Theres no purpose in working togather against only the zombies because there is no rewards for racking up the kill count. Once you get settled in terms of equipment then its just the easy job of recovering what you use, and that becomes a chore.

In player vs player its a thrill to hunt other players. Its enjoyable to watch how the battle plays out. Racking up a murder count is more dangerous and entertaining then getting zombie kills. I dont want to fight hordes of mass respawning zombies with AI. I want to fight other players when death is permanent.

I know that feel, bro.
