New aggro "rules"?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone actually understand them? It sounds like they are messed up from what I am reading, but what are they supposed to be? I think the new changes are interesting, but I find dayz unplayable right now because I don't even understand what I can and can't do as far as aggro goes.

I used to crawl my ass through town and populated areas. sometimes I would screw up and they'd be on me, but just now I was prone with a friendly fellow survivor, and a Z aggro'd on him. We had no ammo, so we tried running. I fell behind, friendly was dead, I saw them eating his body, and then all Z's on me and him vanished.

Then in my search for food and water, I was on the top of a building I somehow got into without aggroing any Z's...and all of a sudden I see three on the ground stop their normal animation, and bolt into the building.

I'm fine with harder, but this is just plain confusing. Is this being fixed, or does anyone know how to actually navigate now and can help me out?

Thanks!

Stop crawling around town and just run around. Zombies are easy to lose now. They do have enhanced vision in the direction their body is facing though. If a zombie is looking at your direction and you're in a building looking through a window at them the chances are they will see you. I'm not sure how it works with tall buildings, whether they can see you at the top of them while they are looking at the base of the building but in your direction.

There's also been occasions where I've sat in a room with no windows, a survivor runs by my building with a train of zombies and they come up the stairs after me even though I haven't went near or a window or even moved.

And how exactly do you lose them now? I've tried hiding in building, slowing them down with buildings and running, etc.

I wanted to play today, but I think I'm going to wait until a hotfix. Mostly becuase I haven't found any food or weapons in the past 2 hours of dying/searching/respawning.
