New Game Changers Out Today

Exciting update for Day Z today. The biggest game changers are:
  • Zombies can't magically see and attack you through walls (the bastards)
  • Zombies have new line of sight
  • You can hide from chasing zombies instead of them magically always knowing where you are
  • You now start the game with only a torch, painkillers and bandages. No more gung ho beach combat.  People will need to seek out basic supplies straight away. This will be really interesting. Will it become Saving Private Ryan with bandits overlooking the beaches?
  • You'll be able to tell by hovering your cursor over someone what their "humanity" rating is based on their heartbeat - if it beats fast you know they have killed lots of people. Take the time to scope someone out and you'll have a better idea whether to give them a chance or shoot on sight. This should reduce the player carnage that's been happening the past few weeks.

  1. Brilliantly the Day Z forums are now awash with people outraged that they don't start with a gun. Now they'll actually have to use some skills of invasion and intelligence instead of mowing down every zombie/player that gets in their way to begin with!

    In other news, some of the new stuff is broken like zombies seeing through walls. They expect to fix it in a few days.
