Since there's radiation everywhere, along with rabid animals, why not add mutated, crime-against-nature looking animals?
[QUOTE=Blucifer;43741350]Why does every mutant look like Eric Stoltz from Mask?[/QUOTE]
Eric Stoltz is a mutant in disguise. he is really batman.
[QUOTE=garychencool;43740190]You don't and that's the point. You wouldn't know unless they spoke or didn't act like a bot.[/QUOTE]
Then what's the point of adding them? Why wouldn't you just join on a server that has teams of dudes running around w/ kevalar+milspec weapons and try to kill them?
There's already plenty of deadly human opponents that fulfill what I imagine you want out of these bots, making them largely redundant/pointless.
Zombies get removed and replaced with mutants, like teletubies, my little pony's and baby seals/penguins and the already known bear cubs, bunnies and chickens. Also black zombies become Domos.
Mutants seems the obvious choice.
Imagine something like this guy knocking down your gate.

Animals for the time being will dispense the loot.

See this makes 0 sense, why is this guy so huge. How is that even possible. Steroid Induced man?

As opposed to zombies making sense? :v:
Mutated cavemen in furs, with scavenger weapons? (drop resources/meat & scavenger items)
AND
Military patrols that scout along the road, like 4-6 dudes (drop modern loot like kevlar, equipment, weapons and canned foods - flown in by chopper?)
AND
A deadly Rambo dude, who KOS (drops very cool loot - only one can spawn)
_____________________
Sasquatch would be cool!! but not dropping modern stuff.
I'm not down with piggehs dropping weapon rounds, etc., and it'd seem Facepunch isn't either (?) idk,..
Does it seem to fair to assume that FP would think animals dropping anything other than what we get off of them at the moment would be a bit silly? Temporarily would be cool.
Hope they'll get replaced with nagging wives. I've got some payback to do.

I really like the idea of new types of animals being the *new* threats.
Killer bunnies, razorback boar, hungry vultures... bring it, Facepunch!
[QUOTE=Bullwinkle;43740257]This isn't cod.
Raiders that roam around. Busting into houses taking loot and killing people they see would be wicked.[/QUOTE]
Nah everyone would be pissed off
Alright So these are some ideas of Mobs that are affected by radiation.

Wha... what is that last thing?!
Looks like a cockroach shagged... "something" well-dodgy n ugly in bulk.
oh... um,.. a by-thought, what would we eat? There'd be constant war over canned-food bro
Excellent potential for all kinds of diseases, right?

Zombie was goood. Why they get rid of it?
They are too easy, why can't devs change NPCs every week or month? It would be so interesting. I know they are busy.

Since they're replacing Zombies, they should also replace the plane that does the air drops with Santa dropping presents..... When you hear the jingle bells coming everybody runs out screaming "SANTA! SANTA!"

geez.... Everybody else can make a joke but me these days?
Alright I'll meet you halfway.... Santa only comes during the Steam Holiday Sales.
No?
Ok how about Just at midnight on Christmas eve?
No??
Ok how about the robot Santa from Futurerama comes to kill everyone and destroys their bases?
Yes?
Ok, deal.
[QUOTE=Gdust;43745870]They are too easy, why can't devs change NPCs every week or month? It would be so interesting. I know they are busy.[/QUOTE]
That would be slightly irritating.
I wouldn't like a new NPC each week/month
Thats more of a MMO style.
Maybe add more types of NPC's into the world, but not change them. It would seem annoying to constantly have to patch the game because different sorts of NPCs have come.
Add more NPC's not replace
I would like to see specific mobs for each part of the map if biomes get implemented... Some form of humaniod would make the most logical choice, but yea, zombies are overdone. Even if if they are hostile NPC roamers, it doesn't have to be overthought.
Reading all of the suggestions I think the best replacement at the moment (most likely a placeholder even) are mutants. It should be a simple replace or mesh and texture and animation. I like the idea of also having range attack types but we probably won't see that. Further on, I would love to see some sort of a scavenging/primitive human NPC, which forage resources in the area and KOS if you're in close vicinity to their settlement.
[QUOTE=Firemaster;43738794]My initial guess is that they are just going to have the regular animals basically absorb the zombie loot tables into their own, but the number of items relating to "generic" spawns (as well as it just not really making sense for pigs and wolves to be carrying blueprints and ammo) do suggest that they've added something else.
Hopefully it is something that has both a melee and a ranged version to make things a bit more interesting.[/QUOTE]
If we're talking about what and what doesn't make sense then tell me how a zombie can carry entire metal houses around in their pockets. Got a metal foundation and two metal stairs from a zombie just the other day.
