Remove Zombies Breaking Bones

[ArmouredDuck 0]

Hello.

I think zombies should not be able to break bones (and since you crawl after it happens, I assume its a leg bone). Why you might ask?

Firstly, its unrealistic. I have only ever seen them flail their limbs at you, swiping and biting. And usually, breaking a bone, especially a leg bone is super hard to do for a human, let alone a flailing zombie. It should be restricted to those situations where you fall a long way, or get shot in the legs after a gun fight, emphasizing the dangers of these activities instead of just making morphine just another healing item you have to carry around.

Second, when a zombie spawns on you and its first swipe causes bleeding, knocks you unconscious and breaks your bones, that isn't fun. Getting sniped at as you try and sprint across an airstrip is fun, but not getting insta-killed (essentially) by a zombie you had no chance of avoiding.

Thirdly, morphine is hard to get. Its rare, spawns in only a couple places reliably (relatively to deer stands), and those places are filled with PvP-ers.

My recommendation would be to nerf unconscious rates and bone breaking rates, but up bleeding damage on zombies. Or some other better idea, I didn't think much on the solution as I did the problem.

And please do not throw personal insults around, it gets discussions no where and shows how terrible your character is (personality, not video game).

Correct, it is very hard to break a leg bone with just your arms.

However, it is not hard to break your leg at the knee joint, ankle or the foot.

Also, read the 1.7.2 patch notes.

I agree breaking legs should be much much less common, but there is a fix for this already announced in the 1.7.2 build notes.

Lets see how it pans out after 1.7.2 hits...

Do bones from zombies break at any blood level or only below 9000 ? ?

The only leg break I've ever had from zombies was over 11k blood, so it's just a chance to happen at any time.

Any level. KOs occur below 9000.

Good thing he nerfed it on 1.7.2 after me and countless others were crying about
