Zombies spawning in buildings...kind of makes stealth pointless now..

[Turin (DayZ) 3]

I think there should be zombies in some buildings. Some, but not all. Maybe a 1 in 10 chance or something.

That way all buildings aren't simply viewed as a safe-haven you can run into in order to survive. There's an element of chance involved, and you always have to be cautious about running into a building in case a zombie is there.

Good tip: Take a tin can, throw it somewhere by the building. Done, all zombies from the building are now attracted to the can.

I find it annoying but i can just run in their and hatchet slap them, i know its annoying but thats the purpose.

The throwing, meh its ok but my guy throws like a freaking pussy or something, swear tin cans go like 6 feet in-front of me and i end up getting aggro.

Stealth is too risky as of 1.7' date=' as zombies can see you from really far.

This works well for me:

1. Run around like a headless chicken, aggro all the zombies.
   
2. Run into a barn or house with two or more doors and make sure most or all zombies follow you inside, where they will be slow. Make sure they follow you to the middle.
   
3. Run to another building, loot it. If you're lucky, zombies didn't find you in the new building.
   

So the best way to avoid zombies right now is to re-enact the cardio scene from Zombieland?

LOL yes it hurts how you made the imperfect LOS actually seem more realistic (zombie wise)

I have to admit that out of all the things being changed i hate this.

Buildings were a goal while the zombies were the obstacle' date=' you could either go guns blazing or sneak (most people sneak).

But now what is the point? if there is even one zombie in a building you have to kill it and if you do all the sneaking you just did was pointless...

Hi, you must be new here. In previous versions of DayZ they would ONLY spawn indoors, not outside at all.

This isn't a step backwards, its just a re-emergence of a previous game dynamic.

Yeah throw something, a flare works well they leave to investigate, think, adapt, all that jazz.

I'm a little sad people just found the tin cans as distractions. I'm happy they are learning about it, saved my life once.

Anyway, with the LOS infected you have to have the infected in buildings otherwise, you can simply run from building to building without worrying about them.

Remember nothing should ever feel a 100% safe, otherwise it ruins the experience.

I remember the first time i ran into a building and there were Zs inside, "this was about 8 weeks ago or more when it was first put in-game" it was night and night being night in this mod is dark,very dark. Never in all my life have i let out a scream as i did, 10 Zs coming in the door "small house 1 door" thinking i was safe, then fuck no. I'm dead......:angel:

Love that the Zs are back inside buildings again. It make you think twice about just running into citys/towns, then head into a building and think I'll just kill them as they come in" you need to clear the building first".

This is what the mod is all about.(Shitting yourself)
