Zombies in buildings and upper floors?

[TonyMahony 17]

Hi there,

 

I normally met my zombie friends in the streets, behind barns or on the meadow.

But since some time they are also waiting inside buildings. They are just standing there waiting.

 

I also saw a zombie walking up the stairs into the second floor. It wasn't glitching. It just walked slowly through the stairway and followed me into the floor.

 

Did this happen by accident?

Or is it a new feature?

 

See you in Elektro... ;)

Zombies spawn everywhere.

 

Haven't seen them INSIDE of houses yet, but maybe they were there because someone else hid inside before you arrived?

And yes, they can go upstairs.

 

Elektro is empty...

It cant be new feature cause still zombies can walk through doors and sometimes they gettin under floor and walk through walls too. I talknig about 0.45 I played afew days ago..

As far as I am concerned they cannot make it up stairs in stable yet, not sure about how this works in experimental; if you do see one make it upstairs in stable they will most likely start falling through the floor like they are in quicksand.

 

As far as seeing them in random places, I know I have seen "roaming" zed... which means that they seem to wander around to random areas and not really have any reason to.  I have watched zed move from the streets of Tulga to the treeline in a time frame of like 30 minutes, just kinda wandering around.

I've only seen them climb stairs in experimental, also I've noticed they are in houses. I assumed they followed a player in and then they logged off and the zed stayed where it was. Also I was at the NWAF last night and found a zed upstairs in a jail building swinging wildly at the wall. Someone was glicthing and the zed was able to break their legs and then kill them(he fell head first through the wall).

I would like to applaud the efforts of that zed to remedy the glitches perhaps they should just spawn a group of Zed s in the airfield buildings. If they can attack through walls great just make them spawn quickly. Make it harder on the server jumpers also so they have a fight every jump

I don't know if the server was experimental. But I am quite sure that it was not.

It would be much more realistic if zombies are spawning upstairs and if they are able to go up the stairways.

But firstly they have to stop that glitching and wall hacking (at the prison for example).

It is a rare occurrence but there has always been zombies that was able to climb stairs to the upper floor. Usually they fall through the stairs, but sometimes they are very lucky and don't. Always a surprising moment when that occurs, but it has been happening on occasion since I started playing (December).

Just got back in to DayZ after a few months and am loving it again. I was jumped by a Zombie hiding out in a house twice in a 3 hour play session, am still surviving though!

 

I can't remember that ever happening in SA before though.

If it was experimental or not should be quite clear. To be able to join an experimental server, you first have to join the beta program in Steam before starting DayZ. Also Steam pulls an update n that case. So far I have only seen Zeds climbing stairs on experimental. Never on stable. They just walked into the stairs, out of sight.

In this case it was not experimental. I never joined the beta program.

they can climb stairs in stable. kind of a surprise when you run up two flights to bandage yourself and it follows you up lol
