Zeds See Too Far

[knaxx 4]

Currently Zeds see slightly too far. Last patch was not far enough, this patch is too far. Next patch adjust their FoV somewhere in the middle so we can test it out.

Thanks.

sometimes it comes down to chance, i find the viewing distance on average is just about right, like you can crouch pretty damn near but just far enough that it seems legit. proning really does make you pretty much invisable unless you are on concrete. being at full sprint means you can pretty much be noticed anywhere on the street you are on which seems about right. the only problem is the occasional BS zombie that sees you when you are sprinting in the woods about 1/4 a mile away from his village and still aggros you, but those are rare

I brought up this topic because in the last patch I have had loads more of those crouch running 1/4 mile zombies than ever. Even zeds that I aggro by crouching, 2 blocks away, around a corner with no noise has gone up by a sizable amount. Maybe on average they do see the correct FoV. You are probably right and it just needs a bit of refining, but that is what alpha is for and so are the suggestion forums.

Yeah but no. I can easily crouch-walk up to an infected as long as he is not looking in my direction and whack him over. Also their line of sight seems ok-ish. Remember human eyes especially are trained to react to movement, if you run around on a field 500m away, you are very detectable, so I guess infected vision is ok.
