Loving the New Zombies

[King of kong 1117]

Who else is happy about the improvements to zombies? Before they were just stupid background noises now they can catch up with you so you must at least acknowledge their existence. Animations are pretty sweet too. Would love to see new sounds

[cywehner1234 582]

Hey they're a threat now so i'm happy. I noticed new animations, I LOVE these zombies, But I would like pathfinding fixed. As would everyone. Other than that, they're perfect.

[BiGoDeViN (DayZ) 423]

The other day, me and my crew were rolling through Elektro. Shit got pretty hectic, pretty fast. Definitely a lot more action than before. Just needs some polishing.

[Etherious 907]

I like them but please change where they respawn and respawn time. >.>

[DennisTheRussian 11]

yeah I LOVE IT! now you really got take care of those zombies! ppl working more together!

[crimsonbzd 247]

zombie animations = good

 

zombie numbers = low

[soulfirez 901]

yeah fix the clipping walls ,3x there number ,change there agro proerties to alow sneaking and change there respawn to being 500m from location of death rather than right in the thick of it again and they will be perfect..

 

But yes compared to the limp background distraction they were before they are awesome..

Hard to kill as they glitch through everything, even players. They are not harder just faster, still easy to evade, but difficult to actually make contact with my axe. It is harder dealing with more than two, so I think we need push away animation to slow down their momentum. The glitching through walls should be dealt with very soon, or "zombies impossible to kill" threads will overflow the forum.

My handguns seem to be useless against them as well

I think what they should've done was fixing the pathing for the zombies BEFORE they actually made them harder.

First of all they need to put in the detection between zombies and walls, work on the AI so that they cant come charging in from over 10 miles away even were stealth and than i wouldn't care how crazy they decide to make zombies. But as it stands now this band aid to fix zombies and make them a threat hurts more than helps especially in an alpha build. It just makes them even more stupidly broken atm.

I imagine being exposed to the elements and harsh conditions would not make them as nibble. Sure they wouldn't be able to feel pain but having every single one running like athletes is a bit silly. I say they should mix it up to where you have a 50/50 chance to come across a fairly healthy one than the rest are slow or whatever else they decided to give them for abilities latter on.

I know right? Its a bit crazy when you have zombies porting right in front of you like out of Star Trek or something lmao.

1. they run like usain bolt maybe eaven faster then him

2. they can hit you from 50m and also throug floor or wall

3. first hit = bleed (70% chance)

4. first hit = ruined equipment -.-'

5. they jump like some athletics on olimpyc games in sand -.-''

6. this is not what shoud zombies look and act like GO WATCH MOVIES OR SERIES (exemple THE WALKING DEAD)

I agree put 900 zeds in town but make them lot "realistic". Eaven you can make them killed only by HS ! but please when i kill them all dont make them RESPAWN

It doesnt. You run faster then them, no idea how any of you people do not run faster then the zombies... put down your gun or something?

The new fast zombies are sweet! I love them but they still have some potentiall for improvement!

I'd like to see more of them! Like for each house in Chernarus atleast 4 Zeds and for the block buildings maybe 20 and for the realy huge high block houses in Cherno about 100 roming arround in the world. Also they should fix the "walking through walls" issue! Otherwise PERFECT

Just putting this here.

[pilgrim* 3514]

Zombie hit me once (maybe twice) by surprise - it might have lagged into the store - no one there at all, then BAMTHUD

 

BROKE my ARM

RUINED camo jacket

RUINED brit military carry vest

RUINED 2 canteens

RUINED compass

RUINED my can opener (!?!) .. the bastard

BADLY DAMAGED my pants (or maybe that was me, in shock?)

BADLY DAMAGED my boonie hat !!

BADLY DAMAGED FNX, but not the sights or the pistol torch

and very oddly BADLY DAMAGED the magazine which was on my main gun at the time, on my back

AND I was bleeding out, partly greyed out, and had to run like a bugger while he AND his mate chased me into the woods before I could bandage

 

So - all that from one hit or maybe 2 rapid strikes together, inside half a second.

I'm definitely pissed about the HAT.

 

No water containers left, so now I'm gonna axe-hunt zombs and DRINK their BLOOD

(I'm immune to zombie blood at the moment, I guess. Later I'll maybe fry it up to make sausages and traditional black-puddings). Game much more interesting now.

You've got some things wrong....The zombies are not undead, they do not decay

and they do not run faster than you. They have limited stamina, you don't. Look at the rage zombies which are similar to the ones in DayZ, they don't give a shit about stamina they just want you dead

they are infected humans, think 28 days later, not shambling dead bastards...so yeah, they could catch a fully rested and energized person. then beat the living crap out of them, simply because they don't know fatigue or pain at all. I think the infected in dayz are great now, and with the spawn and clipping fixed over the next year or so, THEY will be a real threat as they should always be.

Jeah love new zombies, they should change something about respawn system cause , really i don't like zombies spawning infront of my face ... And they should make them a little bit slower, so i can run away from them if needed .

i'm confused. you love the new zombies, but you don't actually like anything that's new about them?
