Night Time Suggestions!! :D

[VoodooMonkies 0]

So I've noticed that when in the night your in tottal darkness, your only source of light is your flash light (unless you find some flares). So why not fix it?

-- Can the flash light have light illuminate from it instead of have this beam like a laser pointer? Just a small amount of illumination because when i go into a building i have to point that flash light

light at the walls and flooring to find items and i have to do so at a distance so that the coverage of the light is bigger. In reality a flash light will give off light in all directions because what ever

pointing at will reflect the light all around it, thus lighting up a room.

-- Next can you run with a flashlight? And by that i mean efficiently... I run and my guy throws his arms around like normal but if i were to run i would keep the flash light pointed in front of me so

that i can see where i am heading.

-- Also being able to hold a flash light while you hold a pistol or rifle would be very very useful!! I was seen by a zombie last night and i had to keep running around until i found a flare so that

way i can shoot and see at the same time.

-- I would also like to see a mechanic in the game that would have zombies run towards the sound of gunfire or noise but not towards the person immediately unless that person was still makeing

the noise, And i mean at night. Because if im completely invisible at night, why are zombies able to find me soo easly when I make a noise and leave the scene? I would like to see something

like a splitercell approach at night.

Anyway thanks for reading! I hope these suggestions help in the later builds of the game!!! =D

Flashlights work that way in the nature, you can go check it out yourself

Press shift and you wouldn't run perfectly still in real life either.

Would require pretty much useless modding, just get a gun with flashlight attached to it, like Remington or M4 CCO.

They already do that, they aggro on gunfire and then aggro on you.

good suggestions,

last one is fixed in next 1.7.2.4 patch

you can hold flare and weapon...

about the first suggestion, if Iam right the military (black) flash light is illuminated and has red light.

If you walk while crouched or standing you will hold the flashlight straight out. Running in the game, like running in real life, you are moving your arms to assist in running.

I see what you mean inside buildings. Try turning your Gamma and Brightness up. You'll eventually not even need to use the flashlight (or prefer not to as it IS really easy to make your way around in the dark with your video settings changed).

I think the mechanics of the Zed are a little lower on the developer's priority lists. At least, in making changes like you're suggesting. They don't even run in realistic paths. I aggro one and they run 50 yards to my right only to then make a weird alternate path back to me. You're asking them to make em smarter but they can barely move correctly as it is.
