sandbox Noisier zombies and hordes

[Footmuffin]

I think it would definitely help sandbox gameplay if I could alter the talkativity of the undead. Playing on sprinters without being able to hear them is pretty jacked-up. In most sprinter-zombie lore, they tend to jabber and shout, none of this grunting and hissing you slower folks practice. A couple of degrees to this would certainly be ideal, too; players could then set stealthy, slow zombies who rarely attract the attention of their friends or the survivors, obnoxious, horde-prone sprinters, or moderately loud, moderately fast shamblers who group up like normal. Or something else, I don't know.

Do you think I should bump this thread at all?

I don't think it should be in sandbox options but I would like them to make a bit more noise if there are lots of them.

 

A group of people mumbling just went past my office and I could hear them from the other side of the hallway (50-100m), but when an individual person comes by I usually notice them just as they pass the door.

I'd like to see them stay the same noise level but in groups it amplifies a bit.

No.

There could be consequences to doing so.

Dire consequences.

I mostly just play in standard survivor mode, so I can't comment on sprinting zombies. However, it seems reasonable that larger groups should make more noise (moaning, shuffling, bumping into each other, whatever) and fast zombies should be louder to make detection easier (and thus the game more playable).
