PC Is it me or are dogs now sneak ninja masters with zero movement sounds?

I have yet to hear a wolf howl. Usually recognize them when they attack me. No howling. Dogs seem to be kinda bugged for me, they do run towards me, but most of the time they somehow get stuck and move very slow without moving their legs. Not in buildings tough, so maybe it´s the uneven ground outside.

But yeah the dogs should make noise. Making this on purpose is a very poor decision. Rather give us more Z´s than using such a cheap way to create an artifical challenge. No matter how you try to sugarcoat this, it will stay a frustrating wtf moment that ruins the mood. Forget about UMA and give us more of them Z´s. Even if they look worse than what we have now. Or remove horde from the subtitle. It´s misleading.

It´s funny how TFP tries to make players not beeing cheap by beeing cheap themself...

How about a compromise?

We keep them ninjas but give zombie dogs 3 legs so they run as fast as we do when we have a sprained leg.

Oh at least let use chop them off like zombies.

I gotta admit, if we could blow their legs off, as sweet revenge I would snipe off both back legs then let it drag it's nutz on the pavement for a while until I got bored then I would let it get close and smash it's head into the pavement with a sledgehammer.. Oh yessss.. sweet sweet REVENGE Muhahahhahaaaa <choke. <cough>..

I like the way you think ;)

 
I rarely get killed by animals, even by surprise - dogs, wolves, bears. Even if they run after me, i manage to avoid death.

Doesn't mean i wouldn't want sound to work properly and be equal among different sources of sound. The game would probably lag a bit from all the sound at various volumes (even whisper likes), but i prefer to have a plethora of sounds coming left and right, rather than silence and very loud grunting from Zs 50 meters away... when i'm behind walls... or underground...

 
Once they release the game to Beta, I sincerely hope the audio for entities has been ironed out. That has been my primary gripe in this game from the beginning. It is getting much better, (I used to be able to hear the crackling of fire Zeds at 100 meters, now it feels much more realistic) but keeping things stealthed while walking/running is just silly to me.

Sneaking takes a lot, and I mean A LOT of planning for each footstep. Zeds and animals of the Zed type are not capable of doing this in my opinion.
