You want threatening Zombies? .. the mods got 'em

[Irish. 4886]

So.. if you want a challenge from the Zeds. Go give the vanilla mod a try. I recommend official server # 3480. Use the dayz commander launcher if you're not familiar with playing the dayz mod.

 

Here is a video to show you what you can expect from the Zombies in the mod. Eventually after this video ends, I was overwhelmed inside the South barracks. Ran out of ammo after about 20-30 of them just kept coming in.. so many. I got hit, then got sepsis (a blood infection that kills if not cured quickly), and in the end knocked the hell out by a zed as I was trying to run past them in a desperate attempt to run for my life. I failed. This game is so great :D

Yeah on the dev server there even harder, its great the mod has really come a long way especially since 1.8 plus the zombie aggro works well, they dont ghost, and the respawn mechanic is good plus they drop loot and dont combat log my only problem with them is how fast they hit you when you run past em, eg a crawling z ombie, i run past teleports to standing position whilst i get hit by it.

Mmm I played a lot of 3480 these past couple months and I can't remember getting killed by zombies. Usually I don't even use a melee weapon and I rarely shoot at them. You can walk by within mere yards and they hop around you with unseeing eyes. In fact, the only times I was really injured by zombies was when I tried to hatchet the glitchy things instead of ignoring them. Even in the mod, just a mere annoyance IMO!

Now DayZero... first time I played that I got killed by zombies twice in rapid succession. I expected them to be like the mod zombies but they took serious chunks outta your health.

DayZero Zombies are a nightmare :o Scary things, breaking your legs quickly.

I expect something like this (except the slow inhouse walking)

If you want to join the dev server and test the WIP builds PM kichi or I.  As for DropBear's statement, you missed it when R4Z0R boosted the speed, it was a nightmare.

It was like running through a field on fire after covering yourself in gasoline, trying to trek through cities.

Z-Settings raised to 50Max Local - controlled by Headless Client - and small tweaks in the script for acting a bit more "not so extremly dumb".

zeds in 1.8.0.3 are no threat imo, just cosmetic player alert.. unless they would remove melee completely ;-)

 

i liked the insanely fast zeds on earlier build on dev server. a real threat and stealthy play was king. but not anymore since they turned them into even epoch player appealing pets again...
