PLEASE Remove The New Viral During The Day Mechanic It Is VERY ANNOYING And Dosnt Even Make Sense

[livid tusk]

in the prologue the zombies hate the sun and after running out of the hospital they burn and die very fast
but after that they just chill in the sun like its nothing

after this new update even if i dont make noise (just running around doing parkour) or even kill a zombie virals just come from sewer grates and vents, windows etc for no reason

if i make a loud noise sure then the virals can come running, but every 2 minuets for no reason virals are popping out from under cars or vents etc or when im fighting a biter they should not come out at all its dumb and annoying

On Hard they can be like now. maybe change a little on normal/easy.

the story says that virals are becoming biters when they are exposed to the sun for too long. So there has to be a lot of situations in which virals go outside and do that so often that they become biters. There is nothing that doesn't make sense. Virals don't know yet what they are. They are human, they are zombie, they are between volatile and biter. So it completely makes sense that they are a chaotic kind of zombie that does things that are against intelligence (which they obviously lost). They are hyper drawn by sound, they are hyper damaged by the suns UV light and since they are chaotic they are forced to follow their new "in between" instincts.

i agree with you but, gameplay wise there needs to be a balance, and a viral that should be sleeping or scared of the sun at instinct shouldn't just jump out of cars and vents when im running or just standing on a roof, gameplay wise they need to remove it its horrible every few minuets i just have a viral chasing me

I agree with you but only in the sense that they kind have to adjust the behavior of them a bit. because this magnet jumping at you and animation locking you is just too much. Maybe they need to have some special behavior at the sun time and maybe being more vicious in the night

that at least would display that they are ambivalent beings

I don't want to miss them on daytime because its way too easy without them and way less exciting but their weaknesses in their design need to change a bit

Agree, without them the days would be boring. But I'm 99% fighter and 1% parkour player. it's the virals/splitters and banshees that make the days so much fun for me. until nightmare mode comes.
