The New Threat: Heat-seaking GPS-tracking gear-breaking ghost-hitting ninja ZOMBIES!

[Ichi the Blind]

Okay I think most of us can agree the zombies have gotten really, and I mean REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying in recent patches. They are completely broken and detrimental. Let's list some of the reasons zombies make my day a living hell:

#1: They can see you a mile away, in a bush, in the middle of a forest, while wearing full camo, laying prone, through a mountain. Generally speaking if you can even see a speck of a zombie in the distance, and you're within his direct line of sight, he's already seen you. Hiding behind buildings or trees doesn't help either. They seem to have X-ray vision. There are plenty of times I've been crouched inside a building eating food or checking my gear and a zombie will run in from out of nowhere because he saw me through an entire city of buildings.

#2: Once you start killing them, they all know where you are. It doesn't matter if you use an axe or a gun, once you've been spotted and try to fight back, they all just start seemingly popping out of the woodwork. I'm pretty sure it's a glitch where a zombie that you've killed respawns and instantly knows where you are and starts running towards you. I've aggrod and killed a couple of zombies, fell back to an open field with not a zombie in site and hid in a bush, only to have them run at me one by one from miles away for half an hour, not giving me a chance to disconnect safely.

#3: Once you get hit, which you inevitably will, they will explode your shirt off. It's bad enough that it seems you start bleeding from every single hit, but now they can break your stuff in 2 to 3 hits. Thanks to desync and other crappy server qualities they can machine gun punch you in one second and completely ruin your gear. Unless you have exceptionally fast internet or no ping whatsoever, you will get hit by a zombie, no matter what. Hitting them with melee is a crapshoot. I've stood there swinging with an axe at them point blank range and can't hit them while they beat me to death, and if I try to move around and dodge while I attack it's even worse. Even when I do kill them they can still hit me 5 seconds after their body hit the ground. Which brings me to my next point.

#4: Ghost zombies using the force; Many times I've shot a zombie and watched his body ragdoll 15 feet away, and still get hit by an invisible force somehow. Or I'll beat them in the head with an axe while they're facing away and they'll fall to the ground and yet something still smacks me across the face and my shirt and pants explode.

#5: They seem to me making less sound now as well. They usually don't scream until they've started punching me, so I could be sitting in a forest drinking from a pond and suddenly I'm being gangraped by a herd I never knew was coming. This coupled with the fact they can see you a mile away, like I mentioned before, makes them incredibly deadly ninjas, especially at night.


I miss the mod, the zombies there were perfect. Their sight was based on your distance, profile, and speed, plus they couldn't see through walls. Their hearing mechanics worked fantastically as well. If you were patient enough you could get through and entire city unseen. They moved around and changed the direction they were facing so you could sneak around them. Now they just sit there, like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ statues until you move into their line of sight a mile away (reminds me of pokemon battles). Even if you did get spotted in the mod you could loose them by running around obstacles or through a forest, realistically. I don't understand why they had to go and change them. These new zombies cheat.

i really dont know why you are struggeling so much with zombies.
they are not dangerous, not intellegent and no danger at all to me ....

this i recoreded a few days ago ... they only see me when im in front of them directly in their line of sight
i kill them with 1 or 2 hits, i can trap them .... whenever a bugged zombie (invisible or dead one try to hit me i just trap them inside a house and move on)

Yeaaaaa..... listen buddy, it's great you fancy yourself a zombie slayer and all, but I think most people don't play the game for the thrill of killing zombies. I think the main goal of the game is survival, and as people are still a much greater threat most people just try to avoid the zombies, which is very difficult atm. When you're trying to sneak by a sniper it doesn't help when zombies give away your position by running across an entire field to get you. You might as well shoot up a flare and shout "HERE I AM SOMEONE KILL ME!"

Loved your title, gave me a good laugh, yeah they can see you better when you're in a building, they sneak up on you like mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ninjas and pownz your equipment, it's a hard thing to do hard but enjoyable Z :)
It will change, but yeah i'm more afraid for my stuff than for my life today :p
Tomorrow will be made of something else x)

I went through 6 shirts in a half hour because zombies kept finding me and ruining my stuff in one hit.
