Are zombies too alert and spot you too easy?

[Jex 1104]

 

You should be fixing the zed aggro radius first.. People that run trough everything should be punished, not those who take their time sneaking. Especially if I have wasted my time crawling over roads and crouch-walking on anything else expect grass, it's frustrating when a zombie spots you from 60 meters when you were crouch-running.

And when I say crouch-running on anything else expect grass, I mean that grass is the only surface that is good for sneaking. Especially the eyesight of the zeds should be all the same if you are crouching or standing. The only exception would be when you're prone, because then the grass actually covers you.

And the hearing is even more frustrating, because that's what causing the problems. Grass is the only surface that you can run on. If you run on gravel or concrete, every zombie in 50 meters will somehow hear that.

This pretty much forces me to run trough everything at the moment.

 

 

 

 

 

Moving tho walls isn't a bug we can fix.

Zeds Agro is fine i'm able to walk up right behind the zed without being attacked many others have also mentioned this.

The topic is about infection move back to the topic or move on.

Thanks

Ok so I have the same issue with zed. I was crawling once and got spotted from 50m away, crouching is a waste of time - solution, run as fast as you can through town. Are there videos where people are sneaking through towns getting no agro?

because they aren't running directly infront of a zombie on the concrete, sound is an important factor too.

Line of sight is very very important.  I am always checking which way a zed is facing as I'm trying to pick my way through them.  I crouch walk/run everywhere and get very little aggro, if ever, simply because I'm making sure a zed isn't facing directly at me before I start to move.  

 

I, personally, think the aggro is pretty great right now... I can almost always avoid it... but there are times where a zombie 80-90 meters away happens to be looking in my direction, and I don't notice until it's too late.  So, its not too easy to avoid aggro...

 

I dunno.  I think it's good the way it is...  I think the way you prevent people from sprinting through a town is to make the zombie path-finding better... which obviously can only happen in the SA.  As far as the mod is concerned, I think increasing the "knock-down punches" from zeds is the only easy way to make sprinting through a town more risky.

I got aggro yesterday when i spawned in (on the outskirt of cherno)... The aggro needs a fix in my opinion.

Knock down punch ok when they work. My player just stands up and won't move after getting knocked over. Bloody animations.

Probably not, stealth is not very entertaining as it involves quite a bit of doing nothing for periods of time.

 

..and no aggro is probably expecting too much.. losing it ..more likely

Zeds are nerfed and always have been :) Best bet as always regardless of whatever the patches always try is to be fleet of foot.

I agree with this.  I find Zed awareness is nearly right as it is now.  If one is careful and stays motionless when a Zed is looking in your direction one can remain unseen at a reasonable distance.  I find I can also crouch-walk in their periphery with a good chance of remaining undetected.  Crawling can be resorted to in high-risk situations.  Unless you crawl right under their noses they don't detect you.

 

I also agree that a greater chance to be knocked down / tackled when running by a Zed would be a cool upgrade.

 

The only other issue I have is as noted above by Razor, it is far too easy to walk right up behind a Zed undetected and take him down.  It seems that their hearing could be bumped up a bit.

 

I have also had no issues losing agro, a related point that is contrary to the observations of several others here.
