chibigoat 59 Posted June 20, 2012 Yep, been agroing zombies 50 meters in front of me past a wall and a big house while prone on the damn ground.It is literally impossible to sneak through any town, it encourages to just sprint through towns and then re-log to get zombies off you.I saw that something was changed to make the zombies agro from farther away but this is really ridiculous. I should have nearly no bars on my hearing/sight thing when I'm crouch walking, instead I have 3-4. I used to be able to sneak past zombies really well while crouch walking, now that's basically the same as running. Also, sprinting through a town is basically the same as shooting an enfield. Prone should have 0 noise/sight. I should be 100% safe while prone unless a zombie is standing on my head... Not agroing from 50+ meters away through walls and buildings.

fart11eleven 5 Posted June 20, 2012 I think so too. I played DayZ like 2 weeks ago or something and today started again. The zombies are nearly unavoidable and basically it encourages you to just run and have like 2 or 3 zombies on you all the time. Sneaking around ain't no more possible :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kieran.thorpe88@gmail.com 12 Posted June 21, 2012 Still not right in the new update getting better though! Not sure its sight but sound... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twomileshigh 0 Posted June 22, 2012 Agreed it's better but still not right in 1.7.1.5Is it possible to put a modifier if the zed or player is inside a building? That may decrease aggroing through walls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
americanman1243@yahoo.com 1 Posted June 22, 2012 Also having this problem.Plus it seems every time I spot a zombie they start to head in my direction even when I'm prone. They don't come after me necessarily, but they start to walk/crawl in my direction. Then they tend to catch me once they're within 10 meters or less. Even prone in tall grass.

Even prone in tall grass.[/quote']Ye this is a feature of the mod they are programmed to meander in your general direction. not straight at you but head around you abit to make it abit harder to avoid them. has been like that before but now with the new aggro mechanics its seems hard to not get spotted.It is actually ok in bigger cities it seems, smaller ones are a huge PITA and pointless raiding them as spawn rates are shot too at the mo, youll probably find a hatchet maybe lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robolord 11 Posted June 22, 2012 Even when I lay prone in a corner in a store where there is no way any zombie can hear or see me they still get agrod, pretty hardcore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
