Zombies are too hard (defending my opinion)

[agentneo 337]

I like the zombies lunge attack because that gives them a genuine danger, if they lunge and hit you in the face it can knock you out or even one shot kill you. This is awesome and should probably be increased slightly! I like a challenge as it will make players have to consider , whether to charge in with no threat from anything other than players, or with increased zombie danger it makes the game more dynamic. So I would like to see some more attacks that the zombies can perform whilst walking/running. Slashing their arms constantly or occasionally biting would be good.

At current EXP I think they are just to easy, one hit anywhere with an axe will kill them, almost the same with a pickaxe. On Stable they take to many hits, allthough since their numbers are so low they don't pose a threat at all and one can easily take down five at a time with an axe. But when they eventually get the hordes in I think they should be somewhere between EXP and Stable, lets say 2-3 hits with an axe...

its not necessarily the damage they do its how they hit us before we can hit them, i swing first but they die and then we get hit....they also aoe swipe, we found out be having a zombie attack a cmapfire in a group;, we stood around it and they deal aoe damage.

 

had a pristine grey tactical shirt, get hit 1 time...and it goes to ruined....some shit needs to be done

Zombies? What zombies? Why would you fight zombies? Just run away, avoid them. This game is not about zombies... Its about killing other players. Or making friends with other players and then going to kill the ones who are not your friends.

You only kill zombies in single player games.. you dont do this in dayz.

There are zombies in this game?

I wouldn't call them hard... more like annoying, much like gnats.

aggro z

circle strafe them, keeping always at an angle away from their face

frequent blows to head (may need to anticipate direction if they're lunging)

they drop

frequent blows to head

win

 

also, as of 0.45 they can come indoors.  I've found it much harder to fight with melee indoors as my weapon generally ends up clipping surfaces everywhere but at their head (or body) at which i'm aiming.  Fight them in open spaces to avoid this, though i'd really like to have a horde bearing down on me with nothing but a firemans axe and '300' these suckers in some lowly corridor.

IMO Once the zombies stop glitching all over the place, walking through walls and sometimes being invulnerable due to sync, the zombies should be slower then add x1000 more of them. There should be zombies that just lay down, others standing around and others that wonder map randomly and group together.
