Zombies inside buildings (and why it shouldnt be)

[ahyokata 15]

I looked through 14 pages of recent suggestion threads and found nothing on this topic, so here goes.

I have been playing a month or more now and have been successful at doing the sneaky sneaky. Lived for long periods of time and had great times. However, with the implementation of 1.7.1 onwards and the implementation of superzombies (I know they are being balanced atm), combined with the no starting gear (which I like, aside from no morphine), my life spans are quite short.

Since 1.7.1 zombies have now been able to spawn and stay inside buildings. I see this as a problem simply because there are already limited amounts of buildings we can enter that contain loot. Now, if every building were enterable, this would be less of an issue. I already start with nothing, and coming up on a town to find a house AND a toolshed with zeds in it seems a bit extreme. This presents a problem, because by the empty tin cans I needed to throw at them for diversion, were already inside the 2 buildings that i could not get into.

Life in chernarus has been very unforgiving lately, and I think there needs to be a happy balance between realism and playability. And I know you guys are working hard at this, and thank you for your hard work.

Oh please learn to read. He said playability and realism... This game is unplayable right now, unless you want to spend hours apon hours of crawling around to find 1 bit of loot i agree with this. The zeds are already very hard to avoid and having them spawn in buildings is taking away the little light we already had.

Oh please stop crying over a test patch in a mod.

If you people actually read the damn hotfix notes you'd know that its a TEST and the zeds are being tweaked to less insane levels. Also the detection range and 'sneaking' is being set back as well.

And don't play that bullshit 'realism' card sonny, the infected are humans, and where do humans live? Crying over zombies indoors, shut up and adapt quite frankly.

Do you have your own little zombie at home? No? So how can you say what behavior is "realistic" for a zombie?

Just because humans live in homes that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with how zombies behave. Every zombie universe/movie/story is a little bit different but most of them agree that zombies become more like animals... controlled by instinct, most of their brain dead and without free will.

Most animals will maybe search a dry cave/house to sleep but stay outside the rest of their time. And since zombies certainly don't need to sleep there is no reason why zombies would stay in their homes...
