snake pliskin 11 Posted January 28, 2013 Not 5 that you can just run through a few bushes and lose. The most i've ever had in one area is maybe 10. I want like 25, 30, or 40 zombies chasing me down. I want the cities to spawn way more zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olisonera 126 Posted January 28, 2013 I want some lego. Not like the new stuff they have now that's uber specific to a single theme but regular lego that you could make almost any model you wanted... So damn expensive, though : (.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyCry 118 Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Not 5 that you can just run through a few bushes and lose. The most i've ever had in one area is maybe 10. I want like 25, 30, or 40 zombies chasing me down. I want the cities to spawn way more zombies.I belive DayZ is playing some years after the zombie appears on earth. So the most zombies and humans are dead now. Only the strongest zombies are still there. A Zombie is still a biomechanic instinct controlled being wich needs energie for living. So the most zombies will die fast after the apokalypse started.You should go to cherno/airfield at daytime and shoot 5 rounds with the lee enfield. Then more as 10 zombies should chasing you. Most zombies are nearly blind and the ears are full of blood so its hard for the zombies to chase you between houses, bushes and stuff.I feel dayz more as a zombie simulation as a game.

If you read the dev blog updates at all, they basically said they have no limit as to how many players can be on the map at once due to optimization. I'm pretty sure that would transfer to zombies as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AI have to make complex decisions all the time, where as the server doesn't make the decisions for real players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Private Evans 1303 Posted January 28, 2013 One time my team mate and me went to Olsha to check out the nearby vehicle spawn points there ...ever been there ?...there is absolutely nothing ...not even one enterable building..however... we started to kill the, as it seems, few roaming zombies and ended up attacked and chased by dozens of them..we really were good equipped (M4 and M14) but nearly ran out of ammo ...they were really everywhere.. I was knocked down and my friend had to even drag me while shooting with his M4. We somehow managed to escape to the Radio tower on Olsha hill where I killed a zed climbing down the ladder with my lasst bullet, Finally we moved on to the airstrip to search for ammo and were attacked by a large group of zeds again. We made our stand in one of the hangars using finally only our hatchets...we survived and headed for Black Mountain...we had killed more than 50 Zeds..... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The AI have to make complex decisions all the time, where as the server doesn't make the decisions for real players.This is true, but the fact still stands that with the optimization they will be able to add more zombies. If I'm not mistaken they've already talked about having the zombies spawn at the start of the server and never despawning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted January 28, 2013 Something struck me when we saw the last set of pictures (Not a brick)All these optimisations being made can easily be taken back with new additional features and so forth. I am not expecting the mentioned 40 which could be added. Ambitious as this project may be, I fear for those performance optimisations we are told are being made. new weather, internal buildings, re-worked zeds, It can all add up.

Liquid Snake 11 Posted January 28, 2013 The current Zombie AI are actually ArmA 2 soldiers Which means currently they are thinking more than they should haha. Zombies in dayZ are actually thinking of flanking patterns which is why when they run they actually jerk left and right. But coming to think of it wouldn't it be interesting to have intelligent zombies that could communicate with each other to take you down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
