sav112g 114 Posted February 13, 2013 I think the idea of a dog companion would be a great idea but how do you implement a NPC Dog. Does it just follow you about or can you tell it to attack or search for food. Plus its something you could not over do if everyone had a Dog it would just become a joke. Maybe two or three on a server if you go into dog kennels or something and click “Bond with” to form a partnership. Trouble is when you log out with your dog does it come back when you log in and what if three other players had logged in with there dogs.Be interesting going prone and the dog instantly doing the same beside you.Now a Ai scripted Zombie Dog would be easy to limit the number, make them rare and control in game.

Lights Out 141 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) rocket2gunsRocket 19 points 1 hour agothe zombie speed has been reduced. Currently it is above the players but below the mod's. This will again be revised once AI and pathfinding has been altered.Good to hear the infected will finally pose a serious threat.

twinturbonet (DayZ) 294 Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for the update. I'm not like the others on here... I don't follow Twitter, Reddit, Rocket's Social Security, Rocket's ATM History, and all the other media tools that exist. :)I always thought it was so strange how the zombies in the mod would run so fast and have to stop because they catch up to you lol. I wish there were slow and fast zombies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted February 14, 2013 The zombie speed has been reduced. Currently it is above the players but below the mod's. This will again be revised once AI and pathfinding has been altered.However, the important thing is not the reduction of speed, so much as that zombies will no longer be as retarded and busted. Please note, my use of "as". I think it will take a great deal of time and effort until they are completely unfucked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) The zombie speed has been reduced. Currently it is above the players but below the mod's.Does that mean Smasht, Fraggle, orlok and the rest of the fellas will be running faster than all us proles? :huh:(I crack myself up sometimes)Seriously though, it'll be nice to have zeds attacking like the wild monsters you expect, instead of trying to flank us with their recycled AI and speed-boosted animations.This thread is very handy.(I refuse to join twitter. I don't like the idea of being followed)Ta very much, fellas. Edited February 14, 2013 by Chabowski 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masterfocker 103 Posted February 14, 2013 Since I don't have Twatter, would anyone mind asking him how the 3rd person/1st person thing will be handled?I think he's already answered that. He'll be having it a menu option, so you can't just switch in a second anymore. You'll have to go into the menu and change it, which takes time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soapmak3r 677 Posted February 14, 2013 Damn...I hope there will still be servers that allow 3rd-1st person switching...I liked travelling in 3rd person and switching to 1st person iron sights with a right-click when aiming.Does this mean that this way of playing won't work any more?
