eugenharton 1540 Posted March 12, 2015 Z is coming back :), there are some problems and crashes (known issues). But in general you can expect the following in this iteration : Zombies do react to sound/visuals. Stance changes affect visibility, clothes do not (yet). Stances and walking affect noises. Silencers do not (yet). Clothes neither (yet). They follow you when you attract them, they walk around and try to find you. There is no group AI yet. There will be. Try the stealth to get the feel of it. There have been no changes to health/damage yet. The absolute number of zombies is set to double the amount, we will try to increase them over time balancing out changes to health/damage. Also consider the new animations, combo attacks etc. More than 4 zombies can follow you now, be careful. Other than new v3s animations (wip not final), map changes to reduce wallglitching and loads of bugfixes (vehicles, animals and zombies). Chainsaw is back! Animals have gone through loads of bugfixing, including some of the stuck animations, weird movement etc. There are increased numbers and variability. Let the hunting begin! For this iteration we also turned on the new spawn system (loot), economy and dynamic events (working on persistent servers, they are not affected by restarts and regulary spawn loot) Eugen Harton EDIT: There is a snowball effect of our last year of work on sensors, ai and much of the underlying yech. Exciting times ahead. There is loads more work, including item modifications, damage, health, weapons, group ai, terrain etc. But the new zomies consist of new physical controller + sensors + ai + animations etc. Thus it will help with many of the issues that zombies had, its not only stealth. Its clipping, desync, amount, performance, and more. We just need time to tweak it. 54 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barnabus 1708 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Awesomeness on the way. My server just went down so here it COMES!!! Just in case I moved to a safe location, or at least what used to be a safe location. So, 1400 zeds now vice 700 and will be increased. Ok good deal. BTW, I don't really care if it is a character reset or not, just wish for a decent day/night cycle. I feel exposed in the bright sun light. Edited March 12, 2015 by Barnabus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WolfgangErikson 127 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) The absolute number of zombies is set to double the amount, we will try to increase them over time balancing out changes to health/damage. Great news. What are the zombie spawning mechanics like? Are there any or is it just on server restarts? I'm assuming it's unchanged from previous iterations, but I thought I would ask since I'm not 100% sure on the current mechanisms for current zombie spawning anyway.

Deathlove 2286 Posted March 12, 2015 Im really interested to see how this is going to effect allot of pure pvp players. Interested to see if they will adapt well or come on the forums screaming and crying for things to change and get easier. Ether way this should reduce the KOS run and gun mentality allot more hopefully. Especially when they start adding even more infected. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
