Mud and tracks

[Buzzkil88]

How about the ground being muddy after a rain that leaves tracks while moving. good for tracking zombies, other players in MP and NPC's when they arive.

 

Maybe even the mud slows you down a little, or risk slipping and injury. Maybe even fall down like the zombies after bashing them with a bat. I just see me running in the rain and slipping and falling on my back while a horde is on my heels.

 

Then there coud be a way to cover your tracks? Or just lead everyone in cirlces and loops to throw them off.

 

Places along the river bank would always be muddy.

 

Then there could be muddy clothes that need cleaned or swapped out. Possibly cause movement reduction or increase the noise you make or simply how much load you are carrying.

I would say yes for the tracking effectiveness, but no for the slipping, and muddy clothes needing to be cleaned... it would be good for RolePlay servers but in singleplayer I can already hear myself screaming at my laptops screen and rage quitting after slipping in the middle of a horde

i make a post about mud, people say the same thing not even a day later.... any way +1...

I don't understand why people don't like "slipping" kinda thing.... Do PZ is a hardcore game or what? It can happen IRL so why not in PZ? Like seriously, players are way to OP in PZ. With axe they're killing machines and they don't even have accidents!

 

Though i think this should be rare. Almost 0% on roads and really small chance on grass, but the best chance on dirt roads. Also chance of this should decrease with better "nimble" trait or/and sprinting and fitness.

I agree with Adamiks, Also I believe they stated in a recent mondoid that with the new animations there will be chances to fail scaling fences and falling down. You can see it in the animation video.

Would love to see this but I think it would be too much too process keeping track of all the mud tracks etc.

well over time they would most likely fade such as after rain or after a little bit more then 2-3 weeks for them just to fade. plus mud would only be found after rain for a certain time.

Cleaning yourself as far as hygiene goes is a confirmed no

And I guess slipping would make sense if you have the clumsy trait or something, but I wouldn't think you'd slip in the mud unless you're running through it

I'd be happy with tracks on snow.

well it depends how watered down the mud is.
