harley001 315 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Why do zombies hear me from blocks away when i sprint. Go to electro/cherno and sprint over a road. Even if no one see's you all the zombies will know exactly where you are. What if you do this in a town with no buildings you can go in* it has happend* aren't zombies suppose to be WORST then humans. Anyone who watches enouth zombie films will tell you zombies are dumber then humans. And yes I know they are called infected but the basics are still there. Infected aren't new. left 4 dead, 28 days later and a few others used infected also. And guess what, the zombies were dumb as balls. But at night time they are idiots, up until you run on a road. Seriously how do they not notice me moving infront of them on the grass but as soon as I step on pavment I am f*cked. Even if the eye meter is at 0. Either zombies aren't zombies at all and are super humans pretending to be zombies or my character has freaking sonic footsteps. If a jogger is running though the nighborhood and is a block away. Do you instantly know there is a jogger a block away?My suggestion is to make zombies act like zombies. They have poor eye sight and hearing.

Max Planck 7174 Posted September 12, 2012 If someone jogging a block away is the only sound around, then yes, you can hear him.These infected have fairly poor eyesight but a normal sense of hearing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deetwo 69 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Honestly, it's fine even if the zombies do have super hearing so they can compensate for their apparent lack of smell. Edited September 12, 2012 by Deetwo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatsby (DayZ) 11 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Just learn to deal with them if you can't be bothered to CRAWL across the road. Edited September 12, 2012 by Sarif Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Resident Evil.All different, You cannot say,THIS IS HOW A ZOMBIE IS SUPPOST TO WORK/DOThat's because they are different types of zombies, not all zombies are the same.Some are infected, others a mutation from radiation, and the oldest and most prominent, living dead.The mechanics are wonky, that's for sure, but they're ability to hear from the distances they do isn't too problematic. Just, don't run across roads, walk or crouch run. Edited September 12, 2012 by Inc0gnit0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There would be plenty of sound around. They moan every 2 seconds and they have footsteps to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted September 12, 2012 Yes, and there is wind in the trees and such. Still, compared to a city/town full of living breathing people, cars, dogs, ice cream trucks, mailmen, paperboys and carjackers there is very little noise. Therefore, it is possible to hear someone running as it will be a completely isolated and unique disturbance in the soundscape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch_miller 159 Posted September 12, 2012 I make a threat about how zombies have super hearing and you're responce is to talk about how dayz zombies are their own types of zombies which has nothing to do with the suggestion. BRAVOWait, what? How do you even follow your own logic?From what I can recall (and I did scroll up to check again), you said your suggestion was to make zombies more like zombies. He said that zombies are subject to their creator; some zombies are different so you cannot specifically say "Zombies act like this". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silkyskills 59 Posted September 12, 2012 Zombies could be mutants with super human strength, it's free to play with, as long as they're hypnotized or in some kind of trance nothing else matters much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
