PC So I got attacked by a bird.....

So in other words, you require an easier game with fewer risks. I think modding the birds out will be your only option.

No; they don't pose a challenge, they provide nothing but annoyance.  It goes from fighting a horde; alternating between melee and guns to conserve ammo to seeing a bird and having to run far enough away that I can swivel around and pick it out of the sky before returning to the horde or driving around in a vehicle, stopping at a POI, dispatching 10 birds, then clearing it.

They're the same as the Cliff Racers from Morrowind and you better believe that I modded out those @%$*#!s, too.

My most-desired request would be an option that lets us select WHICH zombies spawn so I don't have to start looking for mods to remove the damn birds every single update.

Let's be honest here. Your most-desired request would be for TFP to revert the texture tech they are using for terrain.

True, true.  I'll grant you that.  I should have specified in terms of gameplay.

Though, it doesn't need to REVERT; it simply needs to WORK.

At least I can mod out select zombies, so there is a work-around for these, and I think that they have a place in the game.  Perhaps tie them to attacking when health is blow 30% or when you're infected. so that it seems like you're an easy source of food for them.

How do you know. Did TFP say so?

Is it still happening in A20?

Multiple times in the Dev Blog during the lead-up to the alpha it was released in (A18 I think). It's probably in the patch notes for that alpha as well. You may not have noticed until now because vultures got a speed buff when attacking players on vehicles in A19. That said it was pretty noticeable in previous alphas.

 
Don't forget, your vehicles health counts as yours when you are on it, so even a full HP person will get vultures if the vehicle is 99/100 or less, gotta avoid potholes/cacti/trash/sharp inclines and cliffs if you want the birds to leave you alone

at least thats the findings I've made in A19 so far...same as it was in 18

as for getting THAT hurt, sounds like either a couple crits (unlucky) or you kept peddling and didn't deal with it....gotta take the 5-15secs to jump off and "Batter Up" those flappy baseballs

The minibike sucked in my opinion, it was about as fast as the bicycle at full speed. I guess the difference/positive to the minibike is you're not using stamina. 

But I suppose they had to nerf the bike with the inclusion of the motorcycle & 4x4.

Minibike doesn't use stamina and it has like 2 more rows of inventory space compared to the bicycle, that inventory is a pretty big deal.  It's a significant upgrade.
