axtranti 23 Posted January 3, 2014 I'm on the middle of nowhere and I hear a zombie on my back, or someone eating and drinking right next to me. This just started to happen recently, am I the only one? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtclipz 31 Posted January 3, 2014 No you are definitely not. I have had friends constantly say you hear that?! IS that you???! Someone is eating/drinking. And no one is there or they are hoping to servers to eat and log off. However I myself have experience constant zombie sounds in the middle of nowhere with no zombies in sight pretty much all day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n1mble 10 Posted January 3, 2014 some say the mountains are where spirits mingle with bandits. They gather by the fire and share beans and tell tales. Ancient wisdom accompanies the sound of comradarie, consider this a good blessing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applejaxc 2500 Posted January 3, 2014 I CONSTANTLY hear the "psst!" of a soda opening, but not the "gug gug gug" drinking sounds. It scares the piss out of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfagamma81 7 Posted January 3, 2014 They should not remove this, it adds nicely to already high paranoia levels this game has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weedmasta 784 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) This bug has existed since pretty much release. Weapon sounds are bugged too. You can have a guy shoot right next to you and you may not hear anything and you may hear a shot from 800 meters out like it was 3 blocks out. Sounds are generally very very buggy at the moment unfortunately. Even footsteps. I hear footsteps outside the building to my left but it is actually someone upstairs to my right.

hombrecz 832 Posted January 3, 2014 Sounds need some serious overhaul, but I think they are aware (should check bug tracker).Also once melee hit will stop sound like a gunshot, it will be happy times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

velyse (DayZ) 22 Posted January 3, 2014 This crap was in the mod too. The rabbits and shit would make zombie sounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reef 18 Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah i'd pretty much gotten used to the constant zombie noise and the constant (sounds like someone climbing/rattling a chain link fence) sound, but yesterday the munching in my vicinity made me jump out of my frikkin skin i spent the next 10 mins being prone 'ads' and doing 360's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jellocf 1 Posted January 3, 2014 No you are definitely not. I have had friends constantly say you hear that?! IS that you???! Someone is eating/drinking.

However I myself have experience constant zombie sounds in the middle of nowhere with no zombies in sight pretty much all day.I was starting to think the zombie sounds where the birds because every time I heard one I would look around and all I would see was a bird or 2 LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjacalypse 551 Posted January 3, 2014 I'm on the middle of nowhere and I hear a zombie on my back, or someone eating and drinking right next to me. This just started to happen recently, am I the only one? Yeah, I've been able to hear people talking as well that are nowhere nearby. This is extremely infuriating when you have no idea if there are zombies or players nearby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toybasher 27 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) The chain link fence sound I think is just normal ambience. I heard it all the time on the mod, and afaik the fences only rattle as part of the ambience. I don't think it's even linked if there is an actual fence nearby. I do agree about keeping it in, but only in certain circumstances. Like if your character is extremely dehydrated, he imagines taking a drink or opening a soda, if he is starving, he might imagine opening up cans of food and eating. Maybe if he has a fever he hallucinates more, and imagines zombies nearby. If he has had a few close encounters with bandits, if he's been alone for prolonged periods, he rarely imagines a second set of footsteps behind his, or even the sound of someone reloading nearby, etc. Edited January 3, 2014 by Toybasher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jokulhaups (DayZ) 1 Posted January 3, 2014 i remember reading somewhere they used zombie sounds as placeholder for wildlife, or the wildlife somehow is using zombie sounds. scared the piss outta me as i stopped at night to catch my breath and heard a zombie on top of me in the middle of a forest o.0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
