What you mean is that you love them so much that you think they should have their own separate spawning mechanic, so that when you play 8 zombies alive, you can also have 8 vultures alive.

Such an entitled attitude. You asked a question and received an answer. Move on.
Zombies swim for gameplay reasons because otherwise you could tread water forever (like you could for 18 alphas) with no repercussions. Realism and other interpretations of zombies are irrelevant.

"cute" and "vulture" in the same sentence @Jugginator ? I worry about you sometimes, I really do... :classic_biggrin:
Teas done, come n get it! (handing glasses to Mechanicallens and Pegasus)
I actually had a bit on vultures as well Pregnable
---
Running the Shotgun Factory I got infected by vultures twice. I started off with 1 jar of Honey, so first time I waited to take the honey till infection was about 3.7%. So of course shortly after the honey timer expired I got infected again. So I had to run quick like back to base for another jar, just made it too.
So two things.
1) seems like if a vulture/s get more than one or two pecks in you get infected. Btw, was wearing full set of q6 Padded armor. Is that working as intended?
2) was thinking maybe, maybe, having something like a Booster Shot, where it wouldn't cure infections, but it would slow down how fast say the first 10% progressed might be interesting. Either as a seperate item or possibly as part of taking Honey/Herbal/Antibiotics.
Point being, hopefully, to be able to not have to always pack some antibiotics with you. But for an ongoing cost.
??? also thinking maybe an Advanced Medical Kit consumable could include antibiotics. So late game, once you could afford to make some of these, you could carry just a single 'medical' item instead of FirstAidBandage or FirstAidKit, along with Pain Pills and Antibiotics?
(sry, ment to chk if FAK also handle what PP do, not sure if they do)
Edit: oops, meant to include a Splint/PlasterCast in the Advanced Medical Kit as well. Just trying to save a few precious backpack slots.

D'awww come on, you can't argue that adorable smile isn't cute.
I do like your suggestion on an advanced med kit, especially with the plethora of crit stuff that can happen now.

I just went looting and wow... That's an upgrade. 
Wow, a level 2 machete.
Might want to check your graphics card memory though, it produces strange red artefacts on your screen

"such a entitled attitude" Good thing I don't care about your opinion..
Ugh.. bout sums it up. LOL speak of the devil and he shall appear. Walk outside and there is a swarm of vultures eating the last groundhog I shot and dumped out in the field..
Nasty ol things.

If they don't then they are breaking the laws of physics, because they are making energy from nothing..
They have to be "breathing" yes? The fact that they make guttural noises when they are alerted/attacking you makes me think air is being pushed through and energy (as Demandred alludes to) going through the vocal chords.
I vote that they are inhaling/exhaling!

I'm done with A19 unless there is a bug I can help with. I'm working with concept artists on special infected and pipe weapon visual design. That stuff will all be really cool.@madmole, um hey man, what are the latest things you are working on for A19, every experimental update gives us really good new stuff and fixes, is there anything cool that we should be even more hyped of ? Even a tiny bit ?
I don't know, it would depend if they merge it over or not.

Yeah, I suppose so. Because where are they getting the energy to run around, break stuff, swim, etc?
TNSTAAFL and energy has to come from somewhere.
They are dead and walking around ... some of them barf 20 feet ... some of them explode ... and you have a problem with swimming as being against the laws of physics and reality?

What part of "there should be no easy way to avoid the horde" don't you get? We could make zeds not swim, but then we would have to make players drown when they run out of stamina so I'd rather not hear all the complaints about drowning and have zombies be able to get to you in the water. We have our own lore that is molded around tower defense, fun and challenge, not Romero lore or whatever flick you think feels real and immersive.

"Jugg, I swear you ain't got a lick o sense when it comes to looks." "Remember that stray dog you took in?" "Part Pug, part weiner and part Possum, 100% fugly." "Used to scare all the kids in the neighborhood!"
"did I tell you I overhead Snowdog and another feller on the CB, might a been DaVega or maybe that ole hoot Guppycur, anyways, they were going on and on about sometin down at Aunt Sallys Apoc-A-Go-Go.."
"I dint have anything else going on, so I decided to head over and see fer myself." "When I got there I was confused, cause there were a number of gals waitin to get in. and aint never seen that before, but I figured that can't hurt, more pretty ladies n all."
"Turned out it weren't Aunt Sallys normal fare, there were some gals on stage sure nough, but they were all dressed up in evenin gowns n such, singing and dancing." "Was a bit disappointed but had already paid the cover so decides to stay fer a bit."
"bout 20 minutes later the DJ comes on saying 'Now for what you've all been waiting for! The Fabulous Cherrr!!"
"An I couldn't make this up ifn I tried, yu know who came out from behind the curtain then??" "Come on Jugg, guess!" "You'll never guess so I'll tells ya..."
"It was Roland!! All gussied up in a short red sequined tight dress!" "I couldn't belive my own eyes!" "But all them gals I mentioned had been waitin to get in?" "Well they went nuts! Screamin and yelling, hell yu'd a thought Elvis was on stage!"
"Meanwhile I'd almost choked on my beer, but yep, it was him fer sure." "So he started in with the dancing and singer stuff, and it was kinda comical with the short dress n all, see Roland has some really skinny legs.. (chuckling)"
"Has a hell of a voice though."

Yeah, you SHOULD drown.. When I first started playing I avoided the water, because I thought I WOULD drown.. Imagine my shock when I found out I could do a jesus thing and walk on water...

I think @Demandred1957 is forgetting that dead bodies don't really get up at all. If they cant think outside of "Realistic" then they really shouldn't be playing Horror fiction games, reading horror fiction books or watching horror fiction movies
But some people just can't see outside their tiny box they find so comfy
