Zombie aggro totally broken now?

[LukeSkywalkers 31]

The zombie aggro seems to be totally broken for me since the 1.7.2.5 patch.

I'm crouching on a field. I just have 3 visibility and zombies that are about 100 meters away aggro on me.

Another time I'm prone slowly passing a zombie which dosen't seem to give a f*** though he could touch me.

Such things happen to me all the time since 1.7.2.5.

Do such things happen to you guys as well? It's like the bug a few patches ago when zombies from the other end of cherno aggroed you I think.

I have noticed some unusual long distance aggro, most often when I am in a valley or slight downhill from a zombie facing me.

Mostly though, I feel like zombie aggro is fixed.

If they have "poor vision" with tunnel vision properties, then imagine a "cone of awareness" in front of them, and a pattern can be crept through crowd.

And, if their "aggro timer" is longer you can alert them to a sound near by but not fully aggro them, while creeping by rather close.

That's how I see it from a gameplay perspective as I'm not super technical....

Hey labargoth, i see what you mean..

Well i agree that the aggro range have destroyed sneaking around in town without firering shots, yet again if you crouch on a road a zombie on a 100 meters distance should easily be able to see you. Realistically. So where i stand at the moment, i got no problem with it at all.

Its all about staying totally out of sight, as you would do in a real life situation.

Yeah I know it's realistic if you're on a road but not when you have 3 visibility and crouch through the grass and some bushes...

And like I say I don't see how a zombie directly in front of me dosen't see me just because I'm prone.
