New 80M aggro radius.

The point was reasonably valid, sure it was exaggerated, but the meaning was the same. You can still see that guy on the football field, so why can't a zed? If you're sprinting around like a madman I could probably see you from quite far. Ripped from google:

'Dust, water vapour and pollution in the air will rarely let you see more than 20 kilometres (12 miles), even on a clear day.'

Yeah man i dont get why ppl want zombies to be easy, ive yet to die from zombies since the new patch came, i still think they are easy andshould make more difficult, i dont get it ppl they just want to pvp, hell why dont they ask to remove zombies all together to be happy pvping?

there needs to be some kind of deathmatch arena in Chenaurs where zombies are on chains and people enter the arena and fist fight each other and teh chains are slowly given more slack and .....uh wait nvm

I think moar zombies that are harder to kill without headshots and some mini hordes randomly spawning in the woods etc like in Day Z 2017. The Zed AI can always be improved.

This concludes one thing and one thing only...........Zombies are HACKING .

^^ lol ^^

The Zeds really are not much different at all. It's the same principles just more of them and I guess slightly more organized. Still can't remeber the last time I died to zed. Definitely gotten banged up but dying...

If you fire a weapon in the supermarket in Cherno and end up getting punched through the wall by zed, I know it's a glitch that you can't control, but you have eyes and legs in game. So use those peepers locate all the threats. Fire weapon more if needed and then use those legs and make escape out. Now it's time to follow your plan... Oh you didn't have a plan at all before you went into a major city and shot your weapon...well that is now on you not the buggy zombies. At least they are consistently buggy so you should know what to expect by now.

I thought it was generally accepted that zombies had bad eyesight? You know the whole rotting corpse thing messed up some of there senses

[noreaster 41]

I had some issues with the zombies for about....2 hours after the patch.

Then I realized they are just as stupid as they were before, just in different ways.

For instance, I can still shoot the loudest gun in the game in the middle of Elektro, prone and move 10 meters to the corner of a room. The zombie train will ensue, they will basically walk over me and kick me in the face and not see me. Not only that, but now at this point they are actually acting as my security guards for any player that dares try and investigate what is going on in my end of town.

How much easier could it possibly be?

Yeah, let's look at this from a realistic perspective.

These 'zombies' are infected humans. The infection probably doesn't fuck with their eyesight.

A normal person could spot another person from AT LEAST four hundred metres away. At that range, it's kinda grainy. Kinda hard to distinguish features.

at 200 metres, you can tell what shirt they're wearing, if they've got a watch on, if they have sunglasses on, how they're walking, what colour shoes they're wearing.

At 80 metres, you could almost figure out what their fucking eye colour is. 80 metre agro range is NOTHING.

If the game were realistic, a zombie would spot you sprinting from FOUR HUNDRED metres away. Why? Because zombies don't sprint. They move and shamble. Anything sprinting is prey, or another zombie CHASING prey. Either way, MEAL TICKET!

Maybe you should learn to use stealth instead of running through everywhere and getting a massive zombie train?

These once human creatures will act and behave as if they have a heighten sense of hearing and smell but less sight,
