Vultures hunt me down even when my HP is at full.

The POI spawned vultures for sure attack on sight, however it seemed to me that out in the environment they would follow menacingly, but not actually attack.  Not like I really want to turn my back to confirm such theories.

Wild vulture In the desert?? 

I guess that would explain why they mauled me. But I also had to fight a rattlesnake

Yup. They like chasing and attacking no matter what my HP or injury status is.

I know POI vultures will. These were wild ones though.

They will also attack if you are riding any vehicle.

 
I can think of two posibilities....

natural history museums are not really hard to break in during the apocalypsis so you can pretty much pick your fav bike ornaments (which i would totally do also)

or they just spoiled the new giant vulture boss they were saving for alpha32

22... i meant alpha 22

I especially like the mucky brake discs. They just tell the same story as the whole badass bike design: I don't brake for nothing...or never at all to be exact 😀

weird side note:

the moment I saw the first screenshot, I immediately remembered that location as my spawnpoint in Navezgane I think it was the very first time I started the game back in...I guess A16?.

Crazy how the game burns itself into your brain isn't it?

Regarding bikes or cars or whatever vehicle and armor, I would prefer them to look more normal but beat up normal. Same with armor, I would prefer to have light armor being worn looking heavy clothes, medium armor being something like we have like a stop sign knit into a heavy shirt and heavy armor being like a  padded chest with metal in it. 
Have a few different looks for

each set, bothers me how all players ultimately look the same. I know this is more programming work and maybe it is not a reasonable thing to expect at this point.

Maybe as a story develops it will make more sense why the cars on the street are normal, looted clothes are normal but we all drive around in mad max like vehicles and wear mad max like clothes.

 
Yes I also think that heavy armor design is a good bit too overexaggerated. The helmet alone would weigh too much to bear for anybody. And then you're suddenly encumbered because you pick up one feather that uses an additional inventory slot 😅

Cool design overall, really brutal/archaic look...guy who made that may just have been taken away a little with it. Tune it down some and it's perfect imho.

To that "everybody will look the same":

Doesn't bother me too much. There should be enough possibilities to make it unique, just by coloring options.

In the end this is no MMO with a whole lot of people running around at the same place.

Yeah, I exclusively play multiplayer and I have a group of 3-6 I play with regularly. Looking different is probably more important to me than it really needs to be.

The zombie dog does have new animations.  I hope we get it on the wolfs and coyotes. Maybe feral dogs??? 

But the game could uses difficultly in terms of wildlife again. Cuz they made it to easy in A21. As of yet I have not found 1 bear in the forest! I need some danger! Add a mountain lion or 2 or something!

They decided to make the forest the noob zone.  Lol.  Unfortunately, I like the forest aesthetically.  I never really liked the wasteland and the desert is "meh".  Snow is okay but nothing special.
