themightylc 56 Posted March 23, 2016 I just skimmed all status reports from this year. The only one to even mention the infected is the latest one - in a half sentence with a new spawner that won't be ready for 0.60 Is there no progress to report in this area at all? Or has everyone forgotten about them? Like mad cow disease and H1N1 ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBURNS489 165 Posted March 24, 2016 The devs are focusing their time and energy on finishing the new renderer. What good does it do to fix and update infected if they are just going to change when the new renderer finishes anyway? The current engine cannot handle the infected the way we as a community would like to, nor as the developers of the game would like to. Fixing it now is like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound...It may help in the short term but will slow down the only way to truly fix the situation in the long term.

igor-vk 909 Posted March 24, 2016 If you ask me, zeds should spawn like in mod. When player is near (maybe with bigger range). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was way to easy, just run around and look for zombies to know that there is at least one player there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a pretty solid understanding of development. I don't ask for zombies to be fixed NOW, be it in stable, exp or internal. I just would love to hear/read about some progress/work being made. There should be enough people on the team to tackle several tasks at once. The designers are designing. The programmers are programming, the renderers rendering. You catch my drift. I cannot imagine nor will I believe that they start tackling this important feature of the game only whey they're done with everything else. It's just amusing to me there always used to be such a shitstorm about the zombies. Then they were gone for several months. Now they are back in miniscule numbers, still glitching like it's 1999 and nobody cares anymore... it's amusing... and troubeling at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scriptfactory 620 Posted March 25, 2016 Good thing there is a whole team working on infected/AI in Bratislava, right? Right? Actually, what is happening with that team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igor-vk 909 Posted March 25, 2016 They have to do something about infected fast! It is the worst part of game, that was supposed to be zombie game. I was killed by zombies in Exile today. Usually they are slow and easy to avoid, but they got me cornered on balcony while I was trying to snipe. Don't remember when was I killed by zombies in SA.
