If zombies did force flag you, you can easily avoid them by hyperjumping, or not being in the two districts they spawn in. Besides, it's only for two weeks.


Theres still a little problem because if your farming masks with a whole bunch of howies from different orgs in a small area you could just die like that and couldnt come back until you use the stupid vaccine. It really would srew up alot of ppl. I could see why people that just pvp in this game would want it, but for the rest of us, it just screws up the fun of getting the masks.  

If you're farming masks then maybe you should farm smart. Get secluded. Don't farm near the hardline. Heck, you should be doing this already so that you don't get your shield broken by three other zombies that aren't yours. And if you're farming with different orgs then you can solve this very easily: If you are in the middle of a crowd of zombies and you are using AOE attacks, and your other friends are flagged, then they should be far away from you.

Better yet, you can all hyperjump to somewhere the zombies can't get you, and let them get confused thanks to their crappy AI, then jump back down, stand far away from eachother, and AOE away. Once they lose sight of you their entire spawn group won't attack you again unless you get right in front of them. And then you won't kill your friends and they won't flag.

I just would like to see a reason to want to avoid zombies other than they're a slight annoyance. I'd hate for this idea to get shot down just because people can't adjust to farm more efficiently.


yea, but what if your farming masks from zombies and the jack-o-lantern at the same time? then you can farm just anywhere. therefor your theory doesnt actually work to well...cuz theres only so many lanterns in certain places...

What did I just say? Did you read it? Let me give you a hint: Farm smart. That means adjust and adapt to the new rules, if zombies did flag you when they bite you.

I generally farm zombies in one of the less busy areas and then get up on a roof...

Providing they don't swarm me the minute I emerge from a hardline, though in that case, the quick solution is to hardline into an neighborhood next to a zombie zone and then HJ up onto a roof in the zombie zone.

Plus it'd be an easy counter to those people who like to farm afk during this time. 

I think this point bears reiterating.
