PRONE NEVER FULLY REVERTED?

[t.monte87@gmail.com 8]

Need others to see if they are also suffering from this.

1.7.1.1 Changelog brought:

* [REVERT] Secret nerf of prone (you noticed)

I'm assuming this means that you reverted back to 1.7 where you were not seen while prone. We'll if I am assuming correctly then something is broken. View the pictures below.

Good example is photos 5&6.

Photo 5 shows me prone in a building and I have sight indicator of 1.

Photo 6 shows me crawling out of same building have no sigh indicator.

Am I missing something here?

Oh sorry your invisibility cloak doesn't work in the middle of roads 2 meters away from zombies anymore.

What a shame.

To be honest even with one sight bar I am not having any trouble getting past zambies. Flares/emtpy tins and cans help out when you have a cluster, rest of them can easily sneak by.

Was that really necessary? He's asking whether the new prone is intentional, or if there was a bug with reverting it. I'd like to know as well.

Yeah I am not complaining about it. If this is the way it is then my play style must be changed but, from what I have read from the change log. This should not be the case.

Maderas, have you seen this also?

Not a problem, IMO. I haven't had a chance to play since the hotfixes for 1.7.1 but the only issue I had was crouch walking being too noticeable.

i agree, crouch walking used to be useful but now you are way to visible to zombies and must prone everywhere

I like the new prone visibility.

Actually I like all the new visibilities. Might suck without a gun though.

I think the problem is you're not on a server with the update, because there's side chat, which a new server would not have. If it is a server for that build, it should not have side chat enabled anymore, so please report it.

I liked the old sight settings better. It made you be careful, but you could still crouch with care and get on with it. Now it's very slowed down, which some people like and some don't. I personally think it was better before.

The new "One Bar Prone" makes the game more challenging. You really have to be within three meters or so to be seen when there's only one bar.

It's not impossible to avoid zombies, but it's just hard enough that you can get spotted really easily if you're stupid. (Road Crosser)

One bar prone only seems to happen in VERY open bright areas, no grass or trees at all, that kind of thing. I didn't even mind the 1.7.1 change, mostly because we can lose zombies now, which really makes up for it to me. But, yah, it's MOSTLY reverted, not completely. Loot is the bigger issue, food is far too scarce. That's what should be brought to people's attention. Nothing was mentioned about it on the changelog, so I think it is a bug.

i think that moving while prone is ok with 1 sight bar, but prone and NOT moving (not even spinning) should be zero... almost like you're feigning death. then you could let those zeds pass inches from you while you're all tense hoping you don't bump the mouse and aggro.

I agree wholeheartedly with your post.

Excellent idea. That's what I'd hoped for with the prone changes. It was way too easy to crawl through town without any fear before.

i've posted this as a suggestion. please give your support if you think it's as good an idea as i do.

thanks.

CW was nerfed visual but buffed sound wise. You can crouch walk right behind a Zed that you just passed. You only need to prone if someone is looking directly at you. Everyone needs to pay attention to the ground below them too. If it makes more noise, go slow/prone, other than that you can CW everywhere.

I'm somewhat fearful to get on from all the crap everyone is talking about it.

It's okay, it's only a game, it can't really hurt you.
