DayZ Standalone 0.55 - Zombie horde!

[Jonnierambo88 26]

In the new 0.55 experimental update the devs have finally been able to bring in their first try at new zombie AI which allows for better stealth mechanics and Finally the Zombie will be able to converge in massive groups or HORDES...

 

 

In this video I manage to get at least 17 of them grouped to gether to showcase them for you guys...

Good job rounding all those guys up! It's good evidence of the pure increase in numbers as well!

 

Due to the current instability of the servers I'm shocked you were able to gather that many aggro'd zombies without crashing.

 

It also seemed to me that the zombies you had following you were badly bugged and slow due to the amount of them all trying to chase you.

 

Therefore I think this is not a great example of how they function when fighting them in 0.55.

 

True horde AI is in the works and very soon to hit experimental.

Most of them that I encountered had a pretty fast sprint for the initial phase of their persuit, before they slowed a bit. They were easily capable of closing the gap with me.

Yes I do believe the server was under distress at all these guys chasing me :P I think the way they work is something to do with stamina as once they have chased you  for 1 mins or so they start the kinda low running after you deatured here..

but none the Less great work devs!! really liking were you guys are going with the game :P

Agreed. For the first inplementation of this new AI, it's pretty impressive and I'm sure that it will only get better. In between crashes, I had the time of my life Friday night, before the servers finally disappeared.

 

Apparently Eugen has gotten his hands on some upgraded hardware, so hopefully 0.55 will be more stable when it re-launches.

Agreed. It was like getting a shiny new Christmas present, but not having any batteries ... exciting, but a little dispaointing all at the same time.

That was pleasantly nice!

Does anyone else think,it's a good idea to increase their damage a bit more?

I killed them by the NW strip..at least 10 of them!

Can't wait til the hordes operate properly and without lag, this game will seriously be an amazing adventure when fighting humans OR zombies instead of how it is now where the zombies are just an annoyance !
