Development of Zombie count

Recommended Posts

Hello DayZ-lovers & haters

 

I'm one of these guys who strongly believe that DayZ will once be this awesome survival game we all want it to be! And the first step into the right direction would be to incease the zombie amount siginificantly. Let's say in cherno there should be around 7- 10 on every open space (like between the big industrial and the hospital), so you actually have to crouch move and avoid them beacause they would be dangerous.

 

Since the devs stated the better A.I. and Noise-detection will be in by the first Q 2015, what can we expect? Will we have at least the zombie amount of the mod by sommer 2015 or will it be more like now but just with better AI?

What do you think at which point is the game going to have a real "zombie survival feeling"? and will we ever see hordes of zombies roaming around?

Zeds should be next priority IMO. At first sensors and AI should be simple, for instance: they aggro if you get 20m from them. That could increase numbers. And then AI can be upgraded part by part.

How many Zombies currently spawn into servers and do they now respawn? Reason I ask is that the other day, when I played.. I ran through Electro (good job on the the new spawns btw) and I must have been chased by at least 6 of them, whilst still seeing more in the distance as I was flailing around with nothing to defend myself with.

 

I died fists flying by getting cornered by them in the pub next to the supermarket.. which I foolishly thought would be safe to run into the upstairs backroom and hide behind the wardrobe. I was wrong.

 

They do agro from a ridiculous range, they are like terminators.. they absolutely do not stop until you (or they) are dead. LOS or distance from the threat means nothing. Something I hope they sort out sooner rather than later.

Something I noticed aswell, there are too many zombies at Electro, a lot of them. I had everything I need to take down a zombie but still had hard time, I don't know what can a fresh spawn do at that mess.

Well I don't  think theres much point till the stealth system is in, or we will just have agro at odd ranges. When its in I hope they can spot upto about 200m for a sprinting survivor, 180ish for running, crouched and walking should be able get you within about 50m (with avoiding line of sight), lying and crawling can get you very very close.....depending on surface.

 

Also ithink we need them to have things like new renderer in and have at least stsrted optimisation passes before turning them up :)
