Zombie Awareness

[Jean Jacques Serrault 37]

I've tried to search about this with the search function but I only found http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15954-zombie-awarenessrespawning-may-help-with-kos-mentality-a-bit/page__hl__%2Bzombie+%2Bawareness about gunshot zombie awareness. So, what I want to suggest is the reaction for each level of zombie's awareness.

I'm thinking like this:

0% > Zombies walking normally.

10% - 20% > Zombies looking around (not moving, just standing in their place and turn their head to search around).

30% - 50% > Zombies starts moving towards the voice source slowly (just like when they move normally).

60% - 80% > Zombies starts snarling and walking in a faster pace towards the voice source.

90% - 100% > They chase you at their full speed.

The awareness level would decrease slowly after the survivor hide somewhere unreachable by the zombies (like the house with closed doors) and stay silent / not making any noticeable actions until finally the zombies have 0% awareness, leave the survivor and go back to their normal activity (walking aimlessly looking for something tasty to eat).

The big noise such as gunshots and something like running in front of them stupidly would instantly make the awareness goes to 100% (of course).

It might be a tiny change but this could give a bit of "taste" about actual zombies' reaction somehow. I know there are many bugs still need fixin and tweakin but a little suggestion won't hurt imo. :)

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea and is roughly what I had in mind myself. Got my support.

Y'know this could be another awesome suggestion at a later stage. It'd make people think a bit more about certain actions. The system is ok as it is for now but an implementation such as this would be great. +1

For now though i just need to be able to lose the Zeds again. Used to be able to but now it's almost impossible to lose the gits.

Good one, would add a bit more strategy to the game. +1

What about zombies walking/running with different speed, and give better loot from the faster zombies.

Maybe some with increased blood and/or damage.
