I was serious. I really think there should be an option for the server admin to chose if the zombies leap around like lame rabbits or if they can chose to have them the Walking Dead style. I don't see why this can't be an option. In the early stages zombies didn't leap around. I still remember getting my butt kicked when too many zombies surrounded me. I know zome like the.... Not sure what you call them, Zeds? Zombies that have super powers or something. Not sure how a rotting corpse would be able to climb ladders or jump over pits. I thought that was for the Feral Zombies as well as having to deal with those flying creatures, zombie spitters and the spider zombie. So seeing as how I don't see an option anywhere to turn off ladder climbing and leaping around does someone have a mod or know where to get a mod that would disable normal zombies from being super zombies?

Only question I have is, are you still forcing zombies to leap and jump around or are you give server admins the right to pick and choose the zombies behavior. I hate the idea of athletic zombies and thats why I have not continued playing this game. Just keep holding onto some small hope that either someone finds a way to mod and get rid of intelligent and athletic zombies or the development team decides not everyone like on style of game play.

The Zombies are jumping beans though and I don't understand why. I never felt like a zombie was some sort of athlete. Can the player jump as far as the zombies do? I just don't feel that a rotting corpse who seems only focused on eatting would have super abilities unless they were radiation super zombies or something. It's fine I'm sure another game like this will come along or maybe one already does exist where they got the zombies correct. I just keep going back and thinking about that zombie that was by the car and I was on the other side of it and he just jumped up and down like a crazy clown. If anyone is able to MOD it so that climbing and jumping are disabled I'd be okay with that. Or if you know of another game similar to this that has the creepier wandering mobs of zombies please let me know. I think I'm going to pass on this game for now.

Until a player who joins my server decides they want to build one. I've not even seen the drone or what it's even used for. I left the game when they added jumping zombies. It's not just about drones though. Its about all this "Cool" new additions being added to the game like zombies who can leap a couple blocks away. No... You are wrong about the solution. Not sure if you are old enough to remember the movie Wargames. "The only move is not to play"

I really like the idea of a lot of the things you changed, but there are quite a few other things you removed that I wouldn't mind having in the game. I enjoyed Horde night as well as some changed to the tougher zombies like the spitting cops. I understand why you changed all of this but it would be nice to have a mod like this where you could edit or decide what things you want turned off and what things you want to keep. The head shot idea I really like! Mostly just trying to figure out how to remove jumping.

I think options added to the game is better then making players have to search through tons of mods just to get rid of the new stuff they are adding. I left when they added zombies that jump. I understand maybe they think that digging a trench and letting the zombies fall into the trench might be the easiest way of protection. Well, it takes a lot of time to dig that trench and even if the zombies fall into the trench they tear apart everything below. My understanding is that rather then beef up zombies that adding other zombie like creatures is where it would balance that. Spider zombies come crawling into your base. Your base gets over thrown by zombies and as you climb to the top of your structure your suddenly attacked by flying beasts or you have to watch yourself so you don't get nailed by something that spits. I'd think it would be SO much easier to just add a toggle to the game to decide how you want to play the game rather then how someone else wants you to play the game. There are options to make zombies walk, jog and even run but not option to toggle if they jump or not. But also, who is going to sit down and spend time writing up a mod just to get rid of something like a pet drone?

What is the point of the drone? If I felt I wanted some technology following me saying goofy crap I'd probably go back and play Fallout. The direction this game is going is starting to look very depressing. Rather then looking forward to playing a new version of this game, instead I'm spending a ton of time trying to find mods to get rid of stuff like that. I guess I just don't understand how people's minds work these days. Might as well get on with it and add zombies who run around with rocket launchers or maybe cyborg zombies that have jet packs and lasers guns. The jumping zombies is enough for me to hate this game and not play it but hearing about drones that follow you and say goofy stuff? *Walks out making sure the door doesn't smack me where the good lord cracked me*

I've not been any closer to stopping these leaping zombies. It looks SO unnatural looking and I HATE it. This is why I stopped playing the game and it looks like no one is any closer to finding a way to stop these zombies from leaping. I understand why it was added. People were digging trenches and just letting the herds drop into a pit. But do you stop to think about how long it takes to dig a decent pit? Not to mention trying to get good enough tools that don't break right away. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD A JUMPING OPTION TO TURN IT OFF! There is an option to stop them from running, so why not stop them from jumping? Is there an ego trip developer who just feels everyone should love that feature?

Thanks! I'll try it out. I did like the zombies the way they were. I understand why they felt they needed to make them jump, but I was enjoying the way they were before the jumping. When creating a game you have the options of making the zombies walk, jog or run so why no option to turn off climbing and jumping? To me it just feels like someone has their view of how the undead is supposed to be and is pushing it on everyone else. Not sure what other zombie games are out there but if this one is going down the pooper by giving a rotting slab of meat with the only thought in it's decaying brain is to eat. Physically it doesn't make sense at all. I don't mind having a mix like having those spider zombies, spitting zombies but for the most part I would like to see a game with a more realistic look at how the undead would react. Personally I feel Walking Dead got their zombies how a zombie should be. I guess their is just some people who can't play a game without something crazy. Next thing they will do is add zombies with rocket launchers.

Hey, I have not played this game in years and recently came back to take a look at how the game is progressing. Honestly, I really hate seeing zombies jumping. I know it seemed easier in the past to make it so zombies can't climb ladders but what about jumping? I often times have a zombie just stuck in one location and just repeating a jump over and over. Does someone have a mod suggestion for me to try? I'm more on the "Walking Dead" mind frame of zombies not these superpower undead that really don't feel like zombies anymore.

I have not been on the forums for a long time and have not even played the game in several years. I didn't want to do a huge search for this question so I hope you'll all be helpful rather then upset with me asking this if it's been asked a million times before. I'm not seeing any options to turn off making it so zombies are leaping over cars and pits. I know that might have been a glitch in the game to dig pits to hold off hordes but that is how I really enjoyed the game. Now I jump in and see these athletic zombies and all I want is my "Walking Dead" experience back. I don't mind having feral zombies do things like that but to have every zombie in the game jumping around is killing my experience. There are so many times that a zombie just gets stuck in one spot and all they do the whole time is bounce up and down. So is there a mod to turn off zombie's jumping as well as getting rig of any sport ability that only a super zombie could have? As in lack of intelligence to climb ladders as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did run across one mod called something like no athlete zombies but even with that installed my zombies are still leaping. I know some people will bark and scream that the game just isn't fun or fair unless you have those types of zombies but I personally feel there should be room for everyone's play style. I don't see why there can't be an option to just decide if you want jumping zombies or not. It can't be an option or is everyone being forced to just play that way?
