Post patch poll: Summarising your views on Zombies

[Lionel Hutz 34]

Okay, so the Zombie feedback thread is now huge, and very hard work to trawl through.  We've all heard the various changes that different people think are needed, and we've all heard the arguments for and against each change, i.e. how it will affect gameplay, "realism", etc.  Now I thought it might be useful to get a more summarised / structured view of what people think.  Not that I expect the devs to build the game based on polls, but I'd really like to see how the numbers pan out.  

 

So, if you have a view, feel free to record it in the poll above.

 

Sorry if someone has already tried this - couldn't find any duplicate threads when I searched!

4th, 6th, and 7th. choice for me.

(although number 6 is simply a bug fix so no brainer, it will come with time.)

The problem is these zombies are very hard to give opinions on because this game's path finding is terrible. Once path finding is fixed I cna give a solid answer, but I doub't anyone will say their truly "happy" with the zombies. They may be happier with the new zombies, but people are still not TRUELY happy with the zombies at the moment.

I like zombies how they are, but there is one thing i dont like about them :). They still go through walls etc, and I know this is very big problem and needs long time to fix (was mentioned in somewhere).

[crazywolf5150 17]

I think they're waiting to fix the pathfinding for the zombies once they give them the ability to break down doors and/or climb through windows. Without that ability any old house would become an impenetrable fortress from zombies. That would at least make sense. I would also agree that they should respawn relatively far from any players. I haven't encountered that problem, but I can see that being annoying when a zombie respawns right in front of you while you're trying to do some looting.

Where's the option for TL;DR?

[real meatshield 424]

jesus! the poll itself is tl;dr. 

[DMentMan 707]

thay respawn to fast.

[Window Licker 504]

None of the above but I also did vote they should have more health, the way I see it it has already been stated that they current system is placeholder and I'm fine with that because it is an alpha. I am confident that once the system get's reworked the pathing and detection as well as the ability to break LoS so that you can ditch them behind a building and the like is fixed it will greatly improve the game.

Fix pathfinding / walls glitch

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Where is the options for more and/or faster zombies?

 

Other than the "fix glitching through walls and pathfinding" which are a no-brainer (and which we know will be fixed) there is no options in the poll I can support.

[antonioajc 500]

Definitely the spawn further away with a time delay and the path fix. I have been using my axe so I don't get swarmed by zombies that spawn around me.

Zombies are a fairly complex topic and we already had someone try to do a poll, but as mentioned - a topic with an extended discussion is more suited for this.

 

Please stick to the original topic:
