That was not too bad:

Pathing now works on ladders.

Players and AI can now climb ladders without bottom block.

Sounds awesome. Keep up good work. We must burn scared and lost in our own bases ;)

Faatal,

I break the bottom two rungs of my ladders and the zombies can’t get up. Can you fix that? Game’s too easy...

 
10 more days to the A16 stable anniversary party! Has everyone decided what they will wear?

And his response: zombies now ignore terrain and can hit the player up to 20 blocks away.

 
While I think in "real life" terms or in movies zombies climbing ladders or jumping would just be moronic...See that god awful remake of Day of the Dead where a LEGLESS zombie hops up into an air vent...sigh..

But in terms of this game and gameplay , they should very much climb up ladders missing the bottom block , was to easy of an exploit...now wait , is that zombies only? or we going to have zombie dogs and bears climbing up our ladders now? lol

 
as i understand it, they are talking about A17 being the last Alpha so maybe B1?

They’ve already assigned tasks to A18. Madmole was talking about the level of quality and polish being at beta levels. They definitely are closing in on beta but there will also be an A18.

 
I don't get the ladder thing personally...

Zombies can climb 1 block ladder. hurdurr Players remove bottom 2.

Zombies can climb 2 block ladder missing, hurrdurr players remove bottom 3.

Etc.etc.etc.

I think I already remove the first bottom 3-4 blocks of a ladder just to counter bugs / glitches / flying floating zombies.

3 months? More like 3 seconds.

What happens now if I jump? If I can reach a ladder two rungs up now the result would be that nothing has changed at all.

Not that that would necessarily be bad.Changing it would just mean that everybody has to put down haybales all the time. So it doesn't get more difficult, just more tedious. Much better would be that zombies generally can't reach ladders like a player, but on occasion zombies can climb on other zombies (for example) and that way get to places they normally can't reach.

So if zombies are able to climb ladders now will they also destroy the hatch at the top of the ladder? Or the wood frame or whatever we set up there for safety’s sake?

So what you're saying is all I have to do is make a stilt base supported by ladders floating 4 blocks off the ground with the ground floor made out of iron bars at least 20 blocks off the ground. Easy peasy.

Fine. Every zombie now has all of the Mortal Kombat special abilities.

 
My friends on my first server coined the term "Ladder Boss" because of my inability to use ladders in the game and started putting hay bales around the bottoms just to give me a chance. I went through splints faster than food in those days.

Is that you, Simon?
