Are the Zombies different as of today?

Recommended Posts

Just played for hours with a friend on stable regular.. Zombies were not aggroing unless I was right in front of them. Like 5m or less in front, if that. They would not aggro from gunshots. No waves of zeds.. a lot more of them it seemed spawned all over. But they are just about blind and most certainly deaf now. I shot 4 with my M4 and my buddy shot off several magnum rounds, and not a single zed nearby us aggro'd. Just stared motionless at us.

 

Is this just me and my friend on this one particular dayz west server, or is anyone else seeing this too?

it's just you i think, but i have experienced that when you axe a zombie to death, it will have the same chain-reaction as shooting one,

 

For example:

you axe one zombie down, all the other zombies in about 100 ft. around you will start aggroing

Last time I played a few days ago they were doing this. Cleared and entire town with an axe and pistol and probably 1/2 of them never even moved even as I was slashing them. I think they just broke sometimes.

Experienced the same on Exp before stable released a few weeks back.

I think the zombies experience the same sound bugs and glitches as the players. Like sometimes when you don't hear the gunfire, or the you hear random zombie noises everywhere. Imagine being a poor zed chasing every little sound just to find it was a game glitch. I would quit aggroing too.

Happened in reverse to me the other night. Running from Rify down to Electro to meet up with a pal, EVERY goddamn zed within 500m was aggroing onto me. Once I got to a spot where I could drop my 2nd primary and pull out the axe, I did so, fully expecting to run through the 5 zeds on my tail and carry on. I spent 5 minutes and 2 rolls of bandages just clearing them out, and every time I'd think I was done, more would come. This was with a fireaxe, no gunshots whatsoever. Finally gave up and just booked it, trailing them behind me. Seems they just bug out sometimes, as I've seen the same as youre describing where I can literally walk up and whack em in the face with ZERO aggro. blah blah blah alpha blah.

Weird stuff. I had never seen it since the patch where they just dont see you or aggro on gunshots. But as soon as we split up my buddy had all sorts of issues with Zeds aggro. I will have to test later but I think it had to do with my buddy having a bad ping and desync issue while we were close to each other. If thats the case it would make sense why so many people have problems running together, and would also mean that any pvp would have some serious issues here and there with desync, etc..
