GlyphGryph Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I was sure I remembered them doing so in previous versions but I've realized I haven't actually witnessed it in a long time now, never seen it in a20 at least, and was wondering if it still happens and maybe why I haven't seen it.

Sjustus548 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 They don't anymore sadly. They are more like frog zombies now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFlu Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 No; they didn't in 19 either, and I think further than that. 1 minute ago, Sjustus548 said: frog zombies Yeh, especially the radiated were proper toads inA19... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orclover Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 They are honestly comical now instead of scary. At times they whack at your ankles until you notice them but all the zeds do that. Its funny on horde nights because there is always a couple spiders jumping around in the background, sometimes over and over as they can't get their pathing right so they just just spam leap and we start laughing at them. Honestly a mod needs to make them look like kangaroo zeds, be more accurate, and change the noise. Before they would crawl up everything and screw up your base plans unless you knew they were a thing and remember to build it into your plans. They were an actual threat. Not sure why the devs decided to turn them into something so silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we see one we get out our melee weapons and try to play baseball when they leap lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed in A17 when the the pathing system was overhauled. Moving on vertical surfaces was no longer supported and at that time faatal didn't have time to implement it and since then it hasn't been a priority-- and may never happen.

Is this pathing with vertical surfaces limitations why zombies don't know how to use ladders really? Once in a great while they might give it a shot now but it almost feels like they're doing it accidentally, and more often than not they just break them instead.

They have their own coding. Being able to move on any vertical surface anywhere as part of their pathing is what was no longer supported. No other zombie has ever been able to move vertically but they were always able to climb ladders. Ladders will be getting some love in general either this round or next so perhaps there is a bug and it will get sorted once they focus on that area.

I honestly loved this about spider zombies. I kinda miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
