Bigtaff 23 Posted July 12, 2012 OK so I read about all the "broken zombies" before I had a decent chance to play since the patch. Last night I spent a white knuckled 25 minutes sneaking through Vybor with a buddy to go patch up a wounded clanmate. Yeah Z's aggro from a crazy distance compared to before, so you have to be a LOT more careful. This is a bad thing? I think people got used to "John Wayne-ing" their way through the Z's and as such they became almost irrelevent.The "zombies" aren't shambling mounds of deaf and blind rotting flesh, they are supposed to be infected people. They may be degrading over time but they still have their senses intact.Anyways enough of that, my main point is that now the zombies matter. Me and my buddy spotted a cow with a couple of Z's prowling nearby during our trip and we spent several minutes discussing how to get those steaks without getting aggro, loved it!People complained Day Z was turning into a PVP deathmatch, it was and still is to an extent but now ZOMBIES MATTER and I for one love it. I've played for a couple of weeks now and that little jaunt through Vybor had me white knuckled and my heart racing as if it was the first day or two of playing the game.Yeah it makes this game tough and if you hate it so much go do something else, nobody is forcing you to play - simple.Also props to Rocket for pushing things like this, the pressure to "carebearize" the game must be overwhelming due to the ever increasing numbers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ingway 4 Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, i think a little boost on then is good BUT they are indeed broken, one time a zombie noticed me when he was facing backwards, i was crawling 25m away from him and yet he noticed me, the one that was really close to me coming into my direction tough? Nope, didn't even bother with me. There are still some things that need fixing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khknight 3 Posted July 12, 2012 My problem with the zombies is that they have better vision than I do in real life. Why do all these zombies have perfect 20 20 vision? Without my glasses, i can't tell a person from from a mailbox at the distance these zombies aggro from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocket should allow players to become infected, then I could test my new superman abilities on bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnthraXx 95 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) apart from they have mutated eyes on every side of there head and grown super ears, yup not broken... please... if was patching it to reduce noise by 50% through objects... tho I agree they needs to be a tougher zombie or something new added to make the game more harder Edited July 12, 2012 by AnthraXx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aHzdaNny 49 Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah, it certainly is a hell of a lot more exciting now than it was only a few weeks ago when you could practically write swear words with your fingers on a zombies back without them noticing you. It's a welcome challenge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
