Stand Alone zombies

[sw1n3 3]

I just want to say, I really like how they are making zombies harder and the reason being is because now instead of people shooting others on sight it would be more of "Hey, instead of killing each other, lets team up since zombies are now have better path finding and can run in buildings" I just think that people complaining zombies are to hard need to look on the bright side. The only thing that would need to be nerfed is maybe zombie agro and they should make the hearing worse, but for them to see you they have to be looking at your character. (I'm not sure if its already like that, so sorry in advance if I am wrong)

You must be new here :)

I'm all for making it more difficult. When I first started playing the mod I thought it was too hard...but like the challenge. Some of my friends even washed out because they said the game was just ridiculously difficult. Fast forward to the present myself and a handful of friends still play; however we have not only learned to survive but we thrive. In that environment the game has started to lose its allure. It's actually become too easy haha

Judging by the amount of posts.

Yep.

my thoughts:

• The new zombies will make entering cities, airports and towns, almost suicidal unless you're grouped, armed, or use people as decoys to draw them away from the target building.
  
• If you thought firing a gun near zombies was bad before...gunshots will sound the death of most people.
  
• Looting players will actually be easier than risking the zombies in a town, so i expect KoS to be even more common - if they suspect the guy has any loot.
  
• players will stalk their targets more often and jump them when zombies wont agro.
  

i really like the idea of people being afraid of the infected - as they should be. gameplay will definitely be different.

Survivor: "Anyone in Cherno?"

Zombie: "You got a purdy mouth on you, boy!"

Really looking forward to seeing the new zombies in action. New skins, animations. Hope they add new infected voices too.

I wonder how they'll implement melee attacks on zombies; if the zombies slowed down a player when attacking; similar to L4D. That would make them harder I guess

I'd like a biting animation, rather than the 'eating stew with a spoon' when your down that we have now. That, and zombies that can only be completely destroyed with explosive ammo or grenades, etc. But ... that will not come to pass. Braaaaaaaaaains!

Looks to be in the style oh Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny The Homicidal Maniac.

And im kind of torn on the zombies being improved. But my friends and I will find other ways to cope.

Also, agreed with what Demon said.

I want my zombies to matter. Right now, they don't.

I want my zombies to be a threat. Right now, they're not.

Were the zombies difficult when you first started playing the game? The answer most of you will say is probably yes. They aren't difficult now though, because you've learned how they operate. SA will be no different. Difficult at first until you get used to them. This is not an answer to kill on sight, as that is part of Day Z and will remain that way until there is more content in the game for people to entertain themselves with; and then when they get bored of that they will resort to killing each other again.

Zombies are, and will forever be just a minor nuisance. They are a small element of the game.

That is only because:

• the AI and pathing is very limited and predictable. it is easy to lose them because they glitch in buildings, ladders, etc..
  
• they follow the exact path you took so you can get them real confused by running in circles around objects and tie the pathing
  
• you can stand next to a vehicle and they wont attack you, you can hide in a bush they saw you go into and they cant hit you...
  

Improve these things and Zombies will be relentless and much, much more dangerous.
