Standalone Zombie Jumping

[Chris529 380]

I know they are infected and are probably gonna act like that all jumpy and hyper but they probably wouldn't actually jump, just run at and tackle the player

I figured this stuff was all subject to change. I don't think the jumping lunge thing will be their only attack. I agree it did look weird in the E3 video when they were all jumping though, lol.

It looks like expressive dance. I'd like to see a group of 20 of them doing it in time to music, personally.

Rocket should take a look at Snorks

Is image posting down on the forum because all I want to do is post an image of Snorks from that terrible Smurfs under the sea cartoon.

I'm fine with jumping as long as it is a reasonable distance, most people can only jump a few feet, also needs to be avoidable with stepping to the side if you see it happening and on a chance roll of about 1 to 4 or so for them to do it

An evil bonus would be a 50% chance of you falling over if they hit but they fall over if they miss

Scares the kucf out of me, or should I say takes me by surprise every time.

Bit like a rabid dog, I suppose.

Anyhoo, regarding the zeds I'll wait and see as with everything else. We've only really seen it in a semi-broken state and have no idea how it's going to play out.

I thought you had access to the closed testing with the other mods and some guys from reddit? You never had to test a build with zombies?

[jaytmuk (DayZ) 621]

Seen alot moans about Zombies in Dayz running, Now ppl moaning about them jumping too :s

Seems alot ppl want shambling zombies who can barely move, Zombies in wheelchairs? lol :P

[swatforceirq 2]

for me i don't like it

[strongtent 74]

It would be nice if not only did the zombies jump at you but grab you as well, dragging you down to the ground and ripping your guts out.

Only if they add the weapon melee animation with it.

Being helpless sucks.

[teppo 13]

Wouldnt mind jump attack as an once-twice out of hundred attacks anomaly, if its main/only attack pose then thats silly.

I know what you meant but I still had a laugh imagining Snorks from the cartoon fighting people in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Have you even considered that it's still an ALPHA?

All features are subject to change.

Why don't we all just hold our horses until the Alpha is actually out, then we can start giving Rocket and the team more relevant feedback. They are still working on fundamental aspects of the game, like balancing game play, coding a hugely complex crafting system, repairing glitches and bugs. ect. So many people on this board just sound like nit-picky little brats. We should just be grateful that this game even exists, and that the devs are willing to listen to our input. All I'm saying is, stop trying to get a refund for a product that you haven't even paid for yet.

If people held their opinions till after things are released, then nothing will change. Think of the Xbox One and the power of the voice of the people. Is the spider-jumping zombies of Day Z that game breaking? No... but still the majority dislikes it.

Also, to Fraggle. Saying the jumping zombies is arcadey is not a lazy way of describing it. It's how I would describe it in one word, and used games like Resident Evil, Dead Rising, to further seat the example of what "arcadey" games are like.

People like Day Z Zombies for its realism. You know, doesn't take 3 magazines to drop an enemy, they die if shot in the face, and they aren't super intelligent. They are however glitchy in the mod, and that is the chief complaint.. Other than the select cry babies who think they need to be overpowered to encourage "Teamwork".

I would like to see them grab you, and try to eat you but that is waaaaaay beyond the capabilities of Bohemia. They're good at keeping things simple, so keep things simple.

I'd like it to be more feral, more low and forward, savagely. I want a tackle, not a piggyback mount. :)
