I mean they are supposedly alerted to a thrown rock. so why does the speaker not affect them? yes and the thrown rock or snowball mechanics should be dumped. Haven’t done it to distract a zombie ever. i have thrown stuff at players and that doesn’t work plus feels unsatisfying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time when the night was a lot more terrifying. Lots of zombies, if you did anything, you'd lose cover and likely get killed, or have to run which was tricky to do if you wanted to hide again. Rocks were a thing then. In recent alphas, the only time I can recall REALLY wanting to be able to distract was with a mountain lion which had me trapped up on a mountain with a super-narrow road leading up. There were more critters everywhere, and they were impossible to fight for me at that point in the game. Stupid critters are immune to distraction though. -Arch Necromancer Morloc Edited July 30, 2021 by Morloc (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you try to play a stealth build on a higher difficulty setting you might find out what the use is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"should be dumped" i disagree. i do use it now and again to make zombies move from where i want to go so it works as intended and probably other people would use it too if they knew you could do it. not every one plays the same way. as for using it on other players... do you seriously play against real players who are distracted by tossing things and they go to check it out.. geesh and i thought zombies were ,,,,ur well nvm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbitslovecactus Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Would be amazing if we would have a chance to run into a room like this, especially at night. Image taken from I am legend. Put 10-20 zombies in a tight room. All sleepers standing. Edited July 30, 2021 by Rabbitslovecactus (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can destroy every block of the ground floor of a POI without entering the volume of upper floor volumes. POI crumbles -> sleepers fall O-o . Shush. I'm digging here if you don't mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used it a few times early game when at night I climbed on a huge boulder for the night. I would throw rocks to get zombies in distance to turn around when they looked like they were headed in my direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the games current state throwing rocks has almost no value. Just remove it. If not removed at least allow bring on the turds and let us throw them at players.

This localization work was likely done for A20 somewhere in the last two months and then deemed important enough and easy enough to port back to A19. From outside we can't know if the programmer doing it needed 2 months, 2 days or 2 hours for this work.

Updating: I actually used this last night on a server I joined to keep the zoms away, again, while I was on a huge boulder for the night. So if it doesn't impact the game much I would also like to add my vote of keeping it...we are voting right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"stay tuned, alpha 20 is coming" that is the whole sentence. Pretty sure they say that about every alpha even months before release. "Stay tuned for Alpha [insert number here]!". A20 is coming doesn't mean anything specific. It could mean that it's coming very soon (doubtful), but it could also mean that it might be months and months out but they are now approaching the final stretch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
