Zombies

[Zee_Panda 29]

These zombies seriously need some fixing, before the patch they were alright but now. One hit bleed EVERYTIME even with uk vest and clothing. I have gone through at least 10 bandages just from my trip to elec and cherno. And the new melee thing is making it worse when you're indoors. Thoughts?

[Hans-Uwe 1]

I'll wait for hotfix, if any...meanwhile I go out with daughter, I can see Zs everywhere

[leefriendfield 438]

You are doing something wrong if you just wasted 2 1/2 bandage roles going from electro to Cherno. The zombies are not the best but why do you want them easier, I want them to be a challenge not an annoyance.

I kill them. then they lag hit me, or i get swarmed. (if i bleed from 2-3 zombies fine). right now they aren't a challenge. i have come close to near death 3 times struggling to look for a bandage. its ridiculous

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah we have all been waiting for this be prepared sir your in for some hellish responses I'll go first I don't think they are brutal enough I want them to peel the skin from my toon with there teeth with one hit. I've been playion for a few hours of the new patch and they broke my leg I nearly got outta my chair and leaped with joy. I was prepared I had a splint and morphine if you think this is tough boy your in for a rough ride in the future sir good luck if your trolling which I think you are go back under your bridge I shall answer non of your riddles

[belphegor_goatzombie 100]

*Thread, not forum.

And not one but 5. And all on page 1 of this sub where debates about Zombie respawning and harder Zs is going on. Just wanted to let you know, maybe you find some ideas there for another thread.

[res 373]

One hit bleed is the original way it's supposed to be like.

 

Hit detection is shit and unrealistic.

 

Just deal with it, it'll be patched later, meanwhile, you can learn how trick the zombies as they are now. It's not that difficult.

[komadose 190]

yes, almost guaranteed bleed on first hit, but i've figured out a good strategy against them with melee weapons; circle around them (strafe) and hit at the same time. they miss all their attacks. took down every maggotsack in Berezino with a pitchfork.

 

it's pretty hard to take down more than 1 zombie at a time before you find a good melee weapon, though. wich is good.

I love reading people reactions on the new patch because all these emotions were already discussed at the release of the .42 experimental patch. The general storm rolling through here and reddit is pretty damm interesting to read.

[KaidenOZ 6]

love the zombies.  1 hit bleeding seems a little excessive but yeah.  more zombies please!  about damn time they where a threat to us.

I wish I could give you more than 1 can of beans for that post^^

[gannon46 788]

what wrong with one hit bleed or breaking legs or catching disease do you think if one of these som-bitches grabbed you you'd get away with out a scratch shoot them if its a problem then juke them...why the hell do I need to say this shit for this is common knowledge but dammit don't make this game a pussyfest we need hordes that are like this they need to spew disease from there mouths you need to shit your pants when you see one then die of a heart attack in real life when you encounter a horde just from the sheer adrenaline rush. sorry I'm getting a little aggravated I thought this is what we signed up for is zeds and death and now that its here and its a faint glow as of now you want to make it easy.hmmmmmm i'll have to think on this.

lmfao i near pissed myself after reading your post. :D have some beans and tac bacon! ;)

[randomspawn 215]

I think most people will be okay with the new Z's, as long as the other mechanics work. The zombies who walk through walls, or spawn right on top of you doesn't work well. Also, the worsening melee attack system is horribad. Maybe a truly silent pistol will be the way to go in the future if they can't fix melee.

[Princess Dookie 35]

 you need to shit your pants when you see one then die of a heart attack in real life when you encounter a horde just from the sheer adrenaline rush. 

 

That same feeling you get when you take on a group of 4 other, decked out survivors, needs to apply to zombies. It would make me sweat a river, but I'm game. :) Might need a real deflib. unit on standby in my house.

I like the 1 hit bleed idea, it was like that when I started playing the SA so I have no problem.

 

It just doesn't fit in my head that a reanimated dead corpse is that strong.

 

I just imagine that they long, sharp nails, so when they hit me, it's like being stabbed.

[Princess Dookie 35]

Possibly when they fix the silencers, your call might be answered.

[Survivor_Ted 269]

I can only say that I want them even harder, you should fear the undead, not zig zag around them as if they posed no threat at all. I suppose we've all thought little of them and not care about being cautious. 1 hit bleed, perhaps excessive, but I want them to do more damage, and I want them to be harder to kill. I think two M4 shots to the chest is too easy.

 

The lag is unavoidable for the time being, in their hotfix the lag will be gone.

evolve to the situation sir that's all I can say adapt to the new environment I started just shooting the bastards then juking the hell out of them. I had maybe 5 on me at one time which had me nervous but not scared for my life.not to mention the mod but one time I had 4 zeds chase me over 600 or more meters I kept them as pets they were pretty nice but I had to put them down I didn't break line of sight just wanted to see how long they would chase. I hope these get the same way. as for walkin through walls yeah it suck but if your ready for them to do it its not to hard to pop'em.again adapt not sayin I'm some awesome player I'm not that good....I'm at a loss for words adapt/evolve.

It's actually 1 shot.

 

I think zombies should be killed headshot only, making you bleed in one hit.

 

The undead I do not fear, as long as they're behind a screen.

i believe the zeds are merely placeholders right now. they'll work on them eventually.
