Hey guys, So I've been playing now for about a week, loving it so far it's the zombie game I've been waiting for. My question is regarding the number of zombies on the server ( in the debug monitor ), how is this calculated? Are there x amount of zombies per person on the server or is it based on people occupying different areas of the map? For example tonight I was taken out by a bandit ( stupid me let my guard down for a minute ) and I respawned on the coast just north of Solnichniy ( by the petrol station ). Now I know there are a couple of good barns just north of there so made a beeline straight for them... Whilst doing so I noticed that the number of zombies was at 360/369. I stopped, and checked the area surrounding the barns out, surprisingly I saw no zombies whatsoever. Again I looked at the zombie figure and it was 368/369. Seeing this I sprinted to the barns and encountered no zombies, i managed to loot both barns ( picking up a sweet sniper rifle in the process ) and left...still no zombies. It was only when leaving I noticed the zombies had appeared ( now of the top of my head I can't remember if the max number of zombies had increased or not ). I managed to avoid the zombies and headed to Nizhnoye, again surveying the area no zombies, I sprinted in and got to the barn before they spawned... Am I right in thinking if everyone is in one or two areas and you spawn well outside of that range, do you have a chance to not see any zombies until the game realises that there are none there, or does the number of zombies increase dependent on where people are on the map? :huh: Sorry for the rather long post, and I hope that this makes sense...any info/feedback would be appreciated.
