KoS in relation to the new spawn mechanism of Zombies: Good or Bad?

[crazyandlazy 376]

So people who passionately hate and look down upon bandits who KoS, what are you thoughts about the new zombies? Let us know your feelings. Are the zombies adding more to your grief or helping to relieve them?

They want to KoS...now they can KoS all day...i wouldn't get bored because i always have something to shoot at.  :rolleyes:

I imagine the zombies will make their jobs easier in some respects and harder in others. Sit in a campy hole someone high, shoot at a poor sod minding his own business, laugh maniacally as the target legs it away and attacts every zombie in the area. Then suffers as the rest come to him spawning all their mates on the way.

There's so many zombies now they can finally be considered a threat, which means a real reason to team up with people rather than make noise by shooting them.

Nope. I am still killing people in Electro ;)

Does being able to kill Z faster matter if they respawn just as fast?

Are you complaining? It's not that bad. Have you watched The Walking Dead? So many instances of zombies popping up and ganging up out of nowhere. It makes sense.

[GpB311 236]

I feel like it will lead to teaming up, but that might just mean we have more groups of assholes running together vs one just hiding on a hill behind a rock.

It is a question based on the question of how the new Z affect pvp.

Is there an incentive to teaming up if being able to kill Z faster doesn't matter if they respawn just as fast?

lol it's not as terrible as you put it. Teaming up is always better. Remember, two brains are better than one.

Threat? LOL. More like a complete annoyance. Spawn out of thin air, see you miles away even if not in line of sight, and now, respawn every 5 damn seconds to come harass you again.

Can still be easily cleared off with an axe, but one only has enough nerves to clear a few waves before he snaps.

Maybe, but your question was: How do the new Z mechanics affect pvp.

 

Ok, the way this works is balance of power.

If adding another player to the equation changes the balance in your favor, there is an incentive.

I played for a couple hours last night once the update d/l'd, and I didnt notice that much of a difference in zombie behavior except there was more of them coming at me when I shot my gun.  The biggest difference I noticed was that there was zombie noises playing constantly, whether they were near me or not.  It kept getting stuck in a loop where 5 zombie noises would play in a row, wait 5 seconds, then all play again

Lol. QQ moar. It's not that bad if you're smart. Use your axe, stay crouched and don't fuckin sprint full tilt everywhere.

Sure they respawn close to you, but if you're not running gun-ho through the city, or town or where ever they don't really aggro that much.

Even then, it's fun and funny as hell. If you're annoyed it just means you want PvP with no consequences.

Usually when I have that noise loop issue it's fixed with a log out of server --> log back in.

No it doesn't, those are the shittiest scenes on TWD imo. I hate when zombies (slowly) sneak up out of nowhere. Basically off camera = out of nowhere. That beings said, this is a step in the right direction and I greatly prefer it over the useless zombies of the prior update.

Where did i QQ? Like i said. They are not a threat, no matter if i run through towns or not. I can just aggro them all and snap them off one by one. But when i don't intend to aggro them, they become annoying.

And where did i mention that i want to PvP? I want threatening zombies. Not those mindless bastards which you can juke around like no tomorrow. I even took it as my job to herd them around (As in, collected all the zombies from 3 different towns and made them follow me into the woods..)

[Daemonkid 493]

Not possible to herd them yo. So, I call bullshit on that, you can only collect about 5 zombies before the extra F's off and stop chasing you.

Oh really? Try slowing down, walking. They can't hit for shit. You can literally walk around them and keep em chasing you if they fall behind. Just so you know.

Sorry been out of the DayZ loop for a good few weeks.

 

I thought Zombies spawned once per server restart and if they did re-spawn it was in someplace currently without any players. Reading a few posts it seems the basic thought is lost to keep it fair on the player.

 

 

You want to be able to clear out an area for survival reasons but keep the threat that Z’s can move in for outside the area you have spent precious time clearing. You absolutely kill the game if Zombies just keep coming out of thin air for no other reason that the developers whats Zombies in your face.

 

Really disappointed if this is the case, disappointed Dean would allow such a poor system to arise in a game with such promise. I live in hope this is not the case having never played the game yet!

Complaining without ever played the game. Lol.

Kneecap a fresh spawn. Zombie problem solved.

Good, you'll be the visible one then and the one the zeds go after.

 

Trust me, some psycho tried to shoot at me the other day in experimental. I ran and even aggroed some zeds. You know what happened? Even though I aggroed them first, they went after the guy that was shooting at me.

Lets just say I still heard shots going off well after I made a safe getaway into the forest.
