ditoseadio Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I think you should reduce the use of 'push and stomp' zombies. Currently, it is an easy way to kill zombies, because our characters never gets tired. Characters should get tired by doing this, as when we use blunt weapons.

If you're not in good shape and go to constantly stomp on someones head to crush it or whatever, then yeah, that person would get tired after a Z or two. Then you have the adrenaline come down that takes place and that exhausts people more than the action itself.

CaptKaspar Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Ask anyone who has ever played any sort of contact sport if pushing people is tiring. I am sure more than one of us has been in a mosh-pit before and realized that pushing people around and stomping are actually very tiring indeed.

ditoseadio Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Project Zomboid has always been the only survival game where the zombies were a real danger. In this way the zombis have stopped being a problem, because the fighting are very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Fisher Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Well, this entire system is going to be revamped in the animation update for the next build, so I don't think this is necessary. Kuren and makkenhoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaaaaat? Either you are a very athletic youngster, an active and very in-shape adult, or you are Superman. Explosively stomping your foot with enough force to shatter a human skull requires a lot more force than simple walking. Repeating this a few dozen times will tire you out. I think its very fair to say that most people do tire from 'simple leg movement'. Actually a lot of people do get tired after walking for miles. Their muscles might not be sore, but their pulse is elevated and they are likely breathing a bit harder. If simple leg movements weren't tiring, then climbing stairs wouldn't be tiring. People who run marathons shouldn't be respected for their endurance and stamina. After all its just simple leg movements that they are doing, and those aren't tiring at all right? For a test, each reader should go walk a mile while lifting their knees to their waist height (to simulate repeated stomping). I'd wager that easily 90+% of people will be breathing harder and have a highly elevated heart rate. That's without the explosive stomping movement. Ever have to dig with a shovel in hard packed soil? Where you have to repeatedly stomp the shovel? It's grueling work. Better yet, go stomp a dozen watermelons/pumpkins if you feel like wasting some money/food. You might not be bone-weary and exhausted, but you'll be noticeably more tired than when you started. All movement, it does not matter the type, tires you out to some extent. Work (J)= Force (N) x Displacement (D) It all adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
