There is no problem in this game... why?

[killingwillum 63]

This game is a wonderful experience. The shear thrill of trying to survive, sneaking past the zombies, surviving an onslaught of aggro'd zombies, Dealing with the constant threat of hostile survivors.

There is no part of this game right now as it is that I find to be a problem. The Survivors you run into are always going to be a major impact of your survivors experience. If you think about it, survivors are the boss battles of the game. You never know when you are going to wind up in a situation where you are literally a heartbeat away from dying. It's just so random, it's damn exciting!

Every time you meet some one else in the game you have to decide the correct choice or your going to die. Is this player going to be friendly? Possibly not.... Should you shoot on site? That is up to you and what type of person you are. There is no wrong answer... only bad choices. You may run into some one that needs help or wants to work together with you... You may run into some one that simply will just put a bullet in you and take what you have to help themselves survive longer.

That is the way the world would be in this situation. People will choose different paths and do what they think is right to survive. In a way this game is for the most part showing people the way it would be.

If there was a situation like this then you bet your ass there will be people that will take to killing for fun. It will be a sport where only the people they know are safe. That is the way of the world and it's a brutal hostile place. You just have to be honest with yourself and play the way you want to... Take it as a chance to test how you would do in that kind of world.

My only gripe with the game is the zombies.... No I don't want them removed... I want more... a LOT more. And make them slow zombies. Make them not a problem alone but any sound draws them in.. Fill the cities with them... In the best zombie movies (( ala: George A Romero )) The survivors were never really in danger from the zombies if they made good choices, but if they were idiots and made foolish choices then the dead would consume them.

The zombies should be what makes them so terrifying... It's not the lone zombie I fear... it's the horde.... The horde and hostile survivors should be the real enemy... not just hostile survivors.

It's simply my opinion and I wanted to share it. I welcome the shoot on site crowd and the roving group of bandits.... it's the way it really would be.

Agree completely.

[Bobcomss 189]

Nice read :) agree 100% with all...mostly the Zombie bit MOOOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!!

I also love the randomness of this game...1 minute walking through the woods happy as a pig in mud....next your being shot at from all over and zombies start appearing everywhere...heart = new power supply to the world... :D

Nice, HAZ MA BEANZ!

I agree with you. The problem as I see it is that the game is still incomplete and not much content added. So opinion may vary and unfair to judge this mod in its current state other than testing wether or not things are working correctly. People are getting bored.

With that said, The threat right now is bandits. As much as it sucks dieing to them they are needed. The threat needs to be the zombies. I agree with you there should be a shit ton of zombies. I would like the day where a bandit and survivior joins together to try to eliminate the threat of the zombies then after that its fair game.

Reading through the post that Max put together the zombie threat will be cranked up. Rocket states that its a 1 out of 10 currenty. He's gunning for 7/10.

it would be so much fun to have slow zombies, and could bring in new strategies by having them swarm you as a bodyguard to enemy players? thats what i would do d:

Every time I see a survivor my heart skips a beat. This game has brought more emotions out of me than any other.

[Jesters (DayZ) 25]

You're bang on here mate, I agree with you. You can kinda compare other survivors to the biker clan from the original Dawn Of The Dead haha :') Ruthless mo'fuc*as!

[McLovinCR 29]

IMO with the humanity working in .5 i will, not trust all of them but think twice before making my shot to a hero.

For bandits, well if I can ever spot one i will end their misery :).

Nice post btw.

You got that right. You just need hear someone foot steps and you will feel your heart pressing the space bar :lol:

[Sir Diealot 46]

Agree 100%. The 'game' even in its current state, is an emotional experience. And that is an aspect practically non-existent in todays gaming. Anxiously waiting for the standalone with the new engine and whatnot..

Hordes of Zeds wondering randomly? Bring it.

Have some beans :)

[twinturbonet (DayZ) 294]

I agree, just make sure they fix the "hit area" when trying to axe down a zombie. Last night, I was standing in front of a zombie axing my life away and he didn't get hit as if I was swinging in the air!! Of course he hit me like 2 times... so I strafed a little to the right and he finally got hit. Lol ridiculous. Went from like 12000 to 10500. Blah.

[grezvany13 56]

You have my beans for explaining (and therfor really understanding) what DayZ is all about.

Even with the current bugs and minor problems, which is normal during an Alpha, I have the same experience as you have within the world of DayZ.

PS and I support your idea about zombies.

Thank you everyone that has replied to this thread already. It's good to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. And also to Opeth.... I know we almost never see eye to eye on things in the game so it's nice to see that we agree on this.

Gonna be a little while before i can get back on the game. Graphics card over heated and needs to be replaced... my own damn fault... wasn't keeping my eye on the fan. I knew it needed to be replaced and I went and cost myself even more money. When I get a new one sure thing.
