Did a lot of Alley last night and there were a lot of times where the zombies and bad guys ignored each other and came after me still. I had to work really really hard to get them to fight each other still. Sad If I can knock a guy down, the zombies will get them, otherwise they seem to ignore each other. Sad Makes me a sad panda.

I think Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City does this best. I love love love that game.

I think this has to get fixed because it's way way way too hard to get them to agro each other right now.

Thanks!

It's a known AI issue. The AI seems to think the PC is the bigger threat in most situations and goes after them first. It's definitely on our list of combat issues to fix.

This was glaringly obvious in the "survivor encampment" (I'm not sure if I got the name right)
I found a location on the map with a survivor camp under attack by zombies.
The zombies attacked the survivors, killing one before I even acted.
Being a good person, I went to try and kill the zombies to help the survivors.
The survivors then immediately changed their target to my team even though they were still being actively attacked by the zombies.

Hopefully you will fix this soon!

Being a good person
The word you're looking for is "naive", not "good". Evil
