Don't let them get to you.  You can only do what you can do, and you do just fine.  

Hi Pegasus, maybe you should chill and re-read what everyone was saying, because you completely misinterpreted the tone...

No one was attacking disabled people or people that have difficulty spelling, we are all friends and/or fellow players here.

No need to be the white-knight of non existing quests.

 

Kudos to FileMachete and the others who correctly interpreted the lighthearted tone, especially because it was a joke on the misspelling errors and not on the people who write them (it can happen to anyone). Peace.

Some will be very similar to the original like the screamer and fat cop. Spider looks a little more monstrous now and slightly mutated. The screamer has more of a witch look to her and her mouth hinges very wide and has a glasgow smile and rows of sharp teeth, black eyes, etc. There is a radiated zombie with tumors all over his back like the hump back of notre dame almost and he can tear one off and throw it at players causing radiation damage and several others we can reveal as they progress. We are still working on visual design though so things can change some as we work through the iterations.

The screamer sounds awesome

 

On a side note, it must have taken you a while to figure out the round tower. I was trying to make one earlier on a new castle and man, it was such a pain I went back through the post looking for the one you made haha. Finally made one 😛

These sound like fantastic, terrifying concepts! :)

 

Just spitballing here, but I think it would be cool if there was a zombie variant or two that fluidly changed your playstyle around them. Perhaps a mutated type that discourages you from melee or ranged combat, for instance.

 

Also, the new cop vomit looks great, I only recently noticed it. Are there any plans though for it to deal player damage (if the player steps on it) or even corrosion damage to structures while the bubbling puke lingers around?

Yes, the cop acid will degrade your gun and armor if you get hit and cause DOT to structures probably.

The fat hawaiian shirt guy will be like pig pen and have a cloud of toxic gas that causes asphyxiation. No more spoilers for a while :)

Yeah, and I'm alright going on about it lightheartedly because I had spelling issues until the age of 8; I had to seek a specialist for it after school hours. I couldn't spell basic words like "flower" or "terrible". We'll all good here.

Na not really. I made most of the shapes we use to build with though so I had that going for me.

Thanks. (no more reactions... again! 😆)

I have an idea for a mutated fly human gross looking thing but we were a little worried it might turn into a hornet 2.0 issue that people wouldn't like it.

I like how it's mandibles look like dapper mustache.....🤣

Yeah, that's a great idea

Would make you really appreciate finding that mod too when fighting them

Looking awesome. :) One small nitpick though, will we be seeing a health buff to cops and "gassers" in the future? Currently, the former is a bit weaksauce and it sort of takes away a lot from the threat in my opinion.

A crawler that can move at 'sprint' speed would be the scariest zombie in the game especially with their new corpse-ripped-in-half model.

ive always wanted to see a feral crawler do this, you see it when it spans or sleeping, looks normal, then it screams and blood spurts out where its legs are supposed to be and now it looks like a cobbled together wight

Now I really want this to be a thing. Personally I really LOVED the hornets and thought they were well done and a good idea. Plus with the new buff system would make them more acceptable for "treating" infections from imo.

Not everyone is a native English speaker. Not everyone reads and writes in the same way. Sometimes it is people's phones doing weird things.

 

But belittling someone because you, personally, have OCD and cannot just overlook the error is just as annoying to some as the errors are you to you.  (Okay, and to me, but I take a deep breath and move on.)  

 

There's no reason to be mean ... it is entirely possible that the person you are mocking is communicating in a non-native language or has other issues with spelling/cognitive function.  I have a dear friend who is one of the smartest people I know, but he cannot spell to save his life. His brain just doesn't work that way.

 

So get your head out of your behind and stop being a supercilious (insert common nickname for male genitalia). If it really bothers you that much ... perhaps you should stop reading.  Or just skip over the posts from those who commit these atrocious assaults onto your tender little eyeballs.

I didn't mock anyone and simply described my point of view and expressed that I appreciated Jost's humorous post.
I also acknowledged already that some people have reasons that are beyond their ability to change, which is something I'd never make fun of with the intention of belittling them. So keep your outrage on behalf of others elsewhere.

We're losing the iconic screamer model? sadface...

Do we actually have a polling on that? I constantly seem to see people who say they miss the "bees".

But i must say this looks the closest to a baby zombie we could get without the game being banned in certain countries 😄
