Ways to improve LOS (balance if you will)

I made a topic a LONG time ago (last month) about adding the element of escape and LOS to the game (glad to see it in the game now)

Only problem is it could use a couple of modifications to make it more balance. IMO

-have zombies investigate where LOS was broken

-decrease LOS distance (apparently you can be spotted very far away and they will go full attack mode)

-increase zombie speed in buildings for two reasons

1) buildings should NOT be viewed as safe zones if you have 10+ zombies on you and you go into a small building with only a pistol or slow shooting weapon you should be aware they may overrun you.

2)People are saying it is way too easy to ditch zombies via buildings this is true the building should not allow you to lose all of them only 2 or 3 out of 6 or 7.

IDEAS on how LOS can be improved.

-Crouching would require close observation of the zombies around you if a zombie that is 5-10 meters away is facing you it will go after you in attack mode

-if a zombie sees you prone they should at first slowly walk over to investigate if they are in within a certain distance they will go into attack mode.

-If a zombie sees you in a building it should stumble to investigate not rush in...

--------------------

In short i think the PASSIVE zombie mode should be elaborated. If you are crawling through a town of zombies...you should still fear the possibility of getting spotted. Crouching should be viewed as a quicker way to sneak but should require more vigilance while crouched in a town.

My view of how movement should be prioritized.

Running

-means of travel and escaping

Crouching

-means of scouting perimeter

-slow crouch is a means of walking within buildings (also slow walk)

-you can attempt to crouch near zombies but if one is facing you they will spot you and go into instant attack mode.

Please give constructive criticism with reasoning, compliments, or nothing at all.
