Simple: Yes Or No?

My vision is this;

 

It's completely pitch black, rain pouring on your shoulders, you're thirsty and starving to death, you NEED to find some shelter soon. Thunder creeps down your spine as you make your way across the Vybor plains, lightning strikes to colour the world for a split second, in the small distance you see a wandering Horde of 20-30 Zombies. They see you...  :|

I could definitely see that in my brain. How awesome would that be?

Good idea.Everything that makes zombies vital and scary part of the game is great.

At first I voted no without giving it much thought, but after reading over your comment and thinking about it, I voted yes. Besides it makes the country side more interesting than just running with no worries (except other players).

I wonder why is that a horrible suggestion?

I myself want zombies to be unpredictable and a danger to me where ever I go and not some stupid loot guards.

Of course the woods should be fairly safe but I really feel like the woods are just an empty space with nothing in it. This (and animals of course) would change them quite a bit.

Exactly, however when I suggested it everyone raged and talked about shit like server load and exploitation. 

[louis25 1]

Yes

 

BUT 

 

not with the current AI

 

the current 3rd person smacking with the axe is bugged, i died from 2 zombies wearing armor and all but just couldnt hit them

 

 

good idea, but right now ...no...let them first work on the zombie AI and other things..

Well, seeing as this isn't the mod, and zombies are server side, could probably be tested if they aren't testing already.

 

I always wanted a zombie like that free roam.

Considering that this game is in alpha and what Dean himself has said sounds like this is not an impossible task. Servers and the game is being opitimized so I have high hopes for this to happen. 

I don't get it.. What would the exploitation be exactly..??

 

Yes

Yeah It's definitely not a matter of now but maybe in the future.

Bump. great idea and should not be hard to pull off, since spawn is now server side.

[BigCountry 26]

I love any idea/strife that would bring players together in a game to fight a common cause. That's what sandbox represents.

Same here pretty much. It's not that I want PvP to dissapear entirely but I wouldn't mind a need for grouping up and building a shelter or something. There's just so much potential for this kind of a game to be the most ruthless and at the same time the most social game of all time.

This is a wonderful suggestion!!!   You can't let people get too complacent.
