xaian 10 Posted July 27, 2012 Im being spotted an heard by every zombie in a 100yard radius. I shoot one zombie an literally 20... 20! come running into the tent... seriously? IM INSIDE?! Lower their sight distance... and hearing for a gun shot. I dont ever remember zombies being attracted by gun fire ever. Can anyone show me a movie? an this new age zombie shit is retarded.. Tell me WHY... even if theyre dead (which should hinder) should a zombie be able to run twice as fast as a human?Whats the point in them running so fast when 99% of people have to run into a building to get them to WALK like normal zombies...If your players are resorting to that then having them run is broken... Just lower theyre speed to about "crouch running" speed if your going to make them run. That way maybe well have HALF a chance of getting a shot on them while they retardedly zig-zag to us. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cocoa Pebbles 4 Posted July 27, 2012 Support. I'll get agro'd from 40 meters away when I'm prone.Also, I don't think the zombies should run right when they spot you. Some of them should walk, and some should run and progressively get slow.They should at least give us a makarov to start with if the radius is going to be that high. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Partywaffle 24 Posted July 27, 2012 There are issues with zed AI.They are working on fixing it.This is Alpha.For now you just have to deal with killing them in buildings, or by zigzagging around buildings and trees in order to lose them.It is annoying, but it works for now.

ooTITANoo 4 Posted July 27, 2012 Dude why does everyone want developers to make games easier for them? Just learn to play better. How about instead of sprinitng in a zombies visual area you prone? And you think zombies aren't going to hear gunshots? This isn't a game issue, its a player issue. Just play smarter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarinjaNinja 80 Posted July 27, 2012 No. The game is still VERY VERY VERY easy to avoid/kill zombies! You just have to learn how to do it...MAKE ZOMBIES HARDER! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
optionism 28 Posted July 27, 2012 Heh, I have been prone, no bars with sight and from a distance a zombie starts running at me. Also, when you shoot a zombie, it speaks like a human responding like 'Ouch' or 'That hurts'. The reason they run so fast was everyone in Chernarus happened to be olympic gold medalist in sprints. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lippuringo 0 Posted July 27, 2012 I always though that zombie must be:1. Horde.2. Stupid.3. Deadly cause Stupid Horde.Look at l4d zombies: they are fast, acrobatic and deadly. But they are still gonna ignore you if thay stay more than 15 meters from you and you don't shot at them.But actually i don't like local zombies that they are:1. Ridiculous fast.2. Make zig-zag at them.3. Even if you learn how to lure them outside buildings - it's still pain in the mind, cause they are attack and move ridivulous fast, you just cant shoot at they're heads, if you not an CS pro team champion.

Its I want them to make it ENJOYABLE. stop posting stupid ass stuff like that. Ive never saw zombies go "YUM I HEAR GUNFIRE... LETS GO TOWARD THAT! MAYBE ILL GET SHOT!" an going prone ever fucking 5 yards isnt fun at all either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarikLaw 3 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah, the Zombie AI definately needs fixing but they are apparently working on it. I also agree that they shouldn't be made easier, but they should be made more predictable in their behaviour, sight distance, and hearing radius.It would be nice if zombies casually started moving to the location of a sound instead of just aggroing right to the sound, apparently being psychic and being able to know exactly who fired the shot and where they are, even if they aren't in the same spot.Again, being worked on as others have said, but still annoying in the meantime.

Just lower theyre speed to about "crouch running" speed if your going to make them run. That way maybe well have HALF a chance of getting a shot on them while they retardedly zig-zag to us.First of all, If you go sprinting around in a open field, its easy for people to see you from 100 yards, second of all, have you ever heard how loud a gunshot is? Ofcourse it attracts so much zombies! Third of all, this is a game, not a movie, and these arent undead zombies, they are infected living humans. Because of this infection they run pretty damned fast yes.First you say, you have to run in a building, so they walk, then you start complaining about not getting a shot at them because they zig-zag, they dont do this in buildings, and if you still cant get a shot at them, please never play any FPS games.This just seems like another cry thread to me.

Sometimes I get spotted at a distance when I'm kneeling-walking or crawling, but its not that often. If you pop off a round with a bunch of zombies in earshot and nowhere to run/hide, you're gonna have a bad time.At the current time zombies are a little fast, but if they were slowed down then it would just be L4D2 all over again; IF there were more zombies I totally wouldn't mind this, but they've already put in as many as they can right now without slowing things down. So for the time being its a necessary evil. Edited July 27, 2012 by Strogg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you could add in some sort of noise device or item, like firecrackers or something, that you could toss into an area to attract zombies to that area. Would also be a way to screw with other survivors or to force bandits that are camping to relocate or else have a horde of zeds on top of them.Zombies who are alerted by sounds, however, should have their aggro increased while they travel to the location (since they are actively seeking out what made the sound). Being able to blow up gas stations would be awesome too, drawing in zombies from a great distance (perhaps even spawning some out of vision to simulate them showing them). Could act as a distraction or even make it riskier to try to loot at gas stations. Edited July 27, 2012 by MarikLaw 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBH the aggro range for gunshots is already too short, it would just be ridiculously unrealistic if they said, "did you hear that? I guess it was the wind" when a round gets fired less than a 100m away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
