Zombie movement....

[ibby1kanobi 1]

So, I'm not sure if this has been suggested or not yet, but the zombies movements in the game are ridiculously retarded. They run way to fast (even for the new age zombies), and their movements are buggy and jerky. They need to be slowed down, probably by about half. Its sort of dumb that the only way to get away from zombies is to LOS break them by using bushes. They don't need to be that fast. Just make them a bit more numerous and cut their speed by half.

They should add twerk animations for the zombies.

You can also lose zombies by running into buildings, and hiding there. Also by running through buildings so they slow down and break LOS. Forest works same as bushes, and sometimes houses.

I agree though that the zombies are too fast. Impossible to hit if they've been aggro'd.

If they would change the zombie movement, speed etc they will "ruin" the game and make it to easy. The way it is now makes the game quite hard because you cant predict the zombies movement and best of all, you wount loose them in an easy way, like running away, turn around and kill easily. Think about like, resident evil.. Run away, turn around shoot.. well, quite fun for that game , but in this sort of game, like DayZ, the zombiemovement and speed makes the game hard (unless you run into buildings etc , but still makes you an easier target for the sniper in the woods beacuse he can spot you easily ;D ) Just my opinion though.

It's just the way the AI and the pathfinding on the map is set up. The AI is just buggy.

As for insanely fast zombies, my favorite sight is when I aggro, then begin to run away, and I have a good 200m head start on the zombie, but he activates 'turbo mode' and is right behind me.

Makes me laugh every time.

No what the OP means is that the zombie movements are repetitive...

What if you can give them more unique movements, like 'sprinting start' instead of instantaneous movements?

They also need to fix the attacking animation because it's like they are using an invisible gun that's 3 feet range like the--- Oh....

The game has no melee attacks so they used a gun mechanic on zombies.
