Why was Living Dead not removed?

You'd be surprised how many players have the chatbox hidden, especially on PS4. Also there are a good number of players that don't really have the situational awareness to pick out a single audio cue mixed in among all the other crazy sound effects going off in combat, and some people actually turn off or down the sound from the game because they are listening to music while playing.

Believe me I've done just what you recommend and it has been far less effective than I had hoped.

I like the mechanic of it, but for the reason you stated the animation has to be attention grabbing, and make a distinct noise or have some type of alert.

I built a macro for my friend an dit has always been acknowledged he used it since he created it. I do get how that could still be missed though. I am not one of those people who play the game that way, I always have my chat visible, and have not turned down any volume.
