DayZ Mod - Crawling Simulator 2012 Dammit rocket what did you break this time? - Games

The amount of playability this has as an alpha is amazing if you think about it.

Seen a bunch of videos of this game, looks like a bundle of fun, but I don't want to be buying Arma II right now when the steam sales are (maybe) just around the corner.

I hate people who think they are entitled to play a working DayZ... He is letting us be playtesters to find bugs and exploits, while he makes fixes instead of playing the update for two weeks so he can find half the bugs all the testers (Us), will find in a day. You are techically not playing it, you are testing it for Rocket, so he does not have to.

The game doesn't appear on the "leaked" lists for the steam sales though [editline]fuckmyautomerge[/editline] And neither does my automerge [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=fantafuzz;36710201]I hate people who think they are entitled to play a working DayZ...

[QUOTE=Clementine;36709756]This game is never going to go beta then because he'll always break the game, he won't want to be yelled at with a logical reason.[/QUOTE] We've figured out his master plan That criminal mastermind!

[QUOTE=_Axel;36710079]Is it just me or was the zed hearing range increased ? I was crouch-walking and a zombie 20 meters away spotted me.[/QUOTE] Something has definitely gotten fucked up, because the second I started running (was crouch-sprinting) across a field well over 500 metres from a nearby town I aggro'd fucking every zombie in the county.

The new feature in the debug monitor shows how visible you are to zombies. So as a player could easily spot you crouch running out in the open from the next town over, so can zombies. You'll just have to think more realistically. I agree sometimes it's a bit bad but just use your head when you're out in the open moving around. EDIT: Oh yeah, sorry, 500 meters definitely seems excessive, missed that somehow.

The only problem I have with it is it makes the eye icon a bit redundant

[QUOTE=i-am-teh-sex;36710710]The only problem I have with it is it makes the eye icon a bit redundant[/QUOTE] I believe the visibility variable is dependent on both the sight and hearing icons.

I want zombies to be even harder so you can't even enter cities without the high risk dying in it alone. Playing alone? Then get to barns and lonely buildings, want fast equipment? Group the hell up. It would bring players closer together, but I already know rocket is going to do it this way.

[QUOTE=Honesty;36710801]What are you smoking? It's already hard.[/QUOTE] Yeah, not to mention it's hard to group up when every person you meet greet you with a shotgun to the face.

[QUOTE=Killuah;36710828]I always liked to imagine the zeds have bad sight but excelent hearing.[/QUOTE] And lately in DayZ that has been the polar opposite of what is true.

[QUOTE=Honesty;36710801]What are you smoking? It's already hard.[/QUOTE] Its hard if you've only been playing for like a week. Then it becomes boringly easy.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;36710980]Its hard if you've only been playing for like a week. Then it becomes boringly easy.[/QUOTE] Even worse, play since the start of the mod and already have an feel of each change of the zombies and almost the exact range where they might see you. I never attract zombies.. because I simply must force myself to do so currently because you learn fast in dayz by simply getting your ass wrecked at the start. You learn by mistakes. [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] In the end my opinion would be that cities should be exciting to go to. How to archieve that? More end loot possibilities, more things ONLY a city gives but incredible increased difficulty and maybe another zombie type so you won't just run in and shoot off zombies easily or pussy logout from zombies. Cities are currently not exciting due to the fact they just have the same shit like every other barn or building. [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] Also rocket always speaks about adding content and gameplay mechanics for [B]group activities and group rewards[/B]. So expect to have an increased difficulty and more end to end content. [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] Hell, the arma 2 engine even allows for an instance/server change when you reach a certain point, so you easily could add many stations leading to a passworded server which runs the amazing city map zhargabad (every house is enterable) It could be easily a player market or an extremely hard zombie infested city with special stuff in it locked to 10 players so there is still a chance some bandit ass is going to shoot up your butt but you still get to focus on the content of the map. [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] Here is the city of the landscape zargabad (included in OA): [img]http://visual-gamer.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/AI_q1-e1276370870118.jpg[/img] I want to see a possibility to be there in dayz since every building is enterable.

I heard zombie dogs are planned. Despite the speed of these zombies, they'll probably take a lot less damage to die. As for a really tough zombie enemy I have an excellent idea. Zombie. Fucking. Bears.

Uh, why do I have to make a new character ? I didn't die, as far as I recall.

Zombie goats... oh god the horror. [editline]10th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=_Axel;36711382]Uh, why do I have to make a new character ? I didn't die, as far as I recall.[/QUOTE] Alpha.

Whilst I like the idea of the Zhargabad thing, Zhargabad wouldn't fit in would it though? It's Middle Eastern themed.

[QUOTE=Clementine;36711345]Even better...zombie sharks[/QUOTE] But why sharks? Nobody goes swimming because they'll lose their shit anyway. Jesus Christ are you thinking... z-ZOMBIE LAND SHARKS?!

[QUOTE=space1;36711646]But why sharks? Nobody goes swimming because they'll lose their shit anyway.[/QUOTE] I think he's implying that will be fixed someday. (or maybe they could attack boats)

[QUOTE=Yuskolov123;36711556]Whilst I like the idea of the Zhargabad thing, Zhargabad wouldn't fit in would it though? It's Middle Eastern themed.[/QUOTE] zombies in arabia sounds cool to me

I think the new hotfix is out, dayzmod.com is back up and my Six Updater just updated.
