I have an idea..

And please hear me out.
Make zombies walk all of the time and make the day/night 50/50.
If possible, make the zombies a little tougher or up the spawn
rate at night (dont know if this is possible)
As of now, as soon night comes,most everyone hides and logs out
the second they get agro. The game is almost unplayable at night
unless you are mining, and even then you can get a spawn which
eats you in seconds.
If they walked all of the time it would actually add difficulty
to the game. People would explore at night. Can barely see the
zeds. Imagine clearing out a building at night with a mining
helmet or just a torch in your hand. You get agro and you can
actually fight but you cant see where they are coming from. I
think it would add a creepieness level to the game being able to
go out at night.
Let me know what you think. I already discussed this with
Sgtslaughter and Totalbeef and they love the idea.

I disagree with making zombies walk at night. Zombies running
during the night is such a fundamental part of the game that
removing it would make surviving too easy. I don't understand
why you believe making zombies walk at night would make it more
difficult. As you mentioned once people are properly geared with
mining helmets and such the darkness wouldn't even be an issue.
Players can still experience that creepy sensation and the
tension of zombies during the night at its current state. I know
when I get stuck in some random building at night and camp a
doorway waiting for zombies to kill me, the experience of dread
is intact.

I have to agree with villain on this one. I am fine with the zed
runs and having a shorter night and longer day and would prefer
that not to change.
If you get your wellness up, improve your armor (i have found
iron armor already even though I can't craft it yet), and keep
your stamina up with coffee, beer or alcohol, you should have no
problems outrunning zombies...(as long as you don't break your
leg.)

And both replys dont involve actually fighting the zombies at
night.Thats it the problem. Its no big deal to keep it the
same.I'll keep playing either way. Personaly i dont find
enjoyment in staring at the screen for 20min waiting for day.
Running zombies pose 0 threat. Hunker down, if you get
agro,escape/quit, wait for day. Take grain, sprint and dont stop
untill day. Neither of these options take any skill whatsoever.
Being in a pitch black building with zombies or surrounded in
a field hearing them but not seeing them, thats dangerous. But
thats just my 2cents.
Also, it is a simple setting change so it would be easy to just
try it for a day or 2 to see how it works. If it sucks change it
back. Trying new things is how we evolve.

I never mentioned not fighting zeds. You can fight zeds and run
at the same time...and that definitely takes some skill.

On the previous build, i often "hunted" at night. Cause that
is when people are in their bases, makes it easier to find them.
That being said, if i had the gear, running around at night is
no big deal. Even killing many zeds is no big deal. But you
need your gear.
Right now it is difficult as hell cause we all dont have enough
stimulants to keep us running or the firearms to protect our ass
against a few zeds.
Its fine, dont change it. Wait a month, if the leaders are
still having issues regarding survival perhaps a change is in
order. But right now, its too early to tell

I play my single player "always walk". And yes, it can still be
very challenging. Especially with the current build. I HATE the
stupidity of "running" zombies.
Of course any opinion on what a fictional creature "should" be
is also stupid. But based on the origin, it always made "sense"
that they do not...run.
Old school feeling being raised on the first zombie flicks. But
I truly enjoy the game, so I can put up with it, being what the
developers initially envisioned.

I think I'm 50/50 on this idea. I think with the current
settings leaving them run at night is fine. Once everyone gets
geared up fighting them at night isn't very hard. At level 40
with mostly purple gear last night I cleared out a small town at
night.
But, Fuzz has a valid point that no one is addressing. That
point is, people just all log out at night. That's not really
playing the game, but I think the solution isn't making the
zombies walk, it's in making it so people can't quit/logout when
they have aggro. Or you sit there for 15-30 seconds in game
after you quit/ALT-F4 whatever..
There are a lot of options for changing things in the game, and
I think as a group we need to be more open to "trying" things..
remember if Madman were to boost the zombie toughness to say 5-6
and make them walk always... he could always turn it back...
It's very ez..

Some times you just need to go out at midnight with a stone axe
and test yourself...
