Zombies running to fast!

[Captain Kirk (DayZ) 0]

Stop being fanboys now everyone. All the game needs is the yakety sax song to start playing everytime the zombies go chasing after you.

And its not because they chase you its because it looks like they are in fast forward.

Stop crying about running zombies, if zombies didn't run there would be no challenge.

I wouldn't mind slower zombies if the trade off was they only died to headshots, then ammo would become more precious even with slower zeds

I think everyone needs to stop saying shut up or crying about them, as for one, everyone is entitled to a opinion. Then going and calling someone else opinion stupid, ya well guess what, so is yours, and guess what, so is mine, but its a opinion, and thats all we have.

Now for IMHO, if they didn't move in such a odd pattern and teleport, or stop and then all of a sudden b line it for something then turn on a dime and is right there in my face, ya thats not realistic and its lame. I understand it also has to play in with the Animal AI that Zeds use as they are not human AI.

But them running to a spot, then turning and running faster than light or doing some weird circular run, or how they react to tight quarters, or zig zag sometimes, ya zombies dont do that..... and it blows the Immersion effect out the window.

I suspect they be tuned a little. It pisses me off everytime I see them do it, but i also shrug it off as its just alpha and well ALL gotta remember that. If they are still like this months from now though, then Id be a tad worried.

I dont mind running Zombies. I just think they are a lot faster then they have to be.

It's not that they run too fast, it's that they are glitchy and jittery which makes shooting them a chore at best.

I just want consistent motions and speed really.

I see what you mean, they tend to run AWAY from you at first, before coming at you. Makes it hard for that perfect headshot.

Totally agree! In real-life zombies don't that fast!... Honest!

The problem is that they are so weak and so easy to kill. Even now, at super speed, they are mostly harmless. Make them much harder to kill with body shots and make them do much more damage, then slow them down a bit.

One word, Africa.

I reckon, they should add in brute zombies, so they are harder to kill but they move slower. Evening it out. Or just make it so the brute zombies are harder to kill but still move at the same pace if you are felling gutsy.

Disconnecting is something that plagues both PvE and PvP encounters' date=' so it's not strictly zombie related.

However, I as well wish there were more zombies again. Now I can just run into a town, aggro all the zombies, run inside a shed and shoot them all with my pistol.

I hope Rocket realizes that if the zombies aren't a big enough threat (they aren't atm) player-killing and deathmatch is the only thing that offers any kind of challenge. Nor is teaming up required. A lot of zombies = you want to team up.

I'm fine with that, some people aren't. I'd still rather have more zombies, even though I much prefer PvP.

But if you team up you significantly lower your chances of being shot by some bandit.

Really who is going to shoot at my team of 10? Hope you have a 240 and you've pre-sighted.

This. I love that the zombies are fast it means you don't have all day to train them. If they just made the movement smoother it would make head shots more reliable for skilled players. Right now it is hard to judge a running zombie because they constantly jerk while running.

[Scorcho 1]

I'm with the sentiment that it's not the speed that's an issue it's the movement. It's almost IMPOSSIBLE to shoot a zombie until it's right in your face and that shouldn't be true.

Yuppo slower, do NOT increase the number (it's not a challenge to sneak it.. but IT IS boring, so more in number won't help much), but make em dying only by head shots! This will be much cooler and realistic.
