Anyone else hate the new zombie spawning ?

[gibonez 3633]

Anyone else think the new mechanic of having zombies spawn around each player regardless of location and loot is cheap and pointless.

It seems regardless of where you are zombies spawn in a 100m radius around the player even in the middle of the wilderness. This has lead to quite a few cheap deaths.

I wouldn't have a problem with this if the zombies were there all along and I happened to run into them but as it stands they spawn because of the player and regardless of what he does. I do not see the point for this mechanic other than to annoy the player by having to constantly kill 3-5 zombies.

This isn't that new, it was in the last patch ad well and there's nothing wrong with it

If your not checking your surroundings in the wilds then its your own fault for not seeing them as I've never seen them spawn within 100m except in cities where a new player enters the area

Hence the part about being able to die at any moment

Outside of cities/towns they only spawn in open fields, stay in the forest you won't have a problem.

The field zeds are quite useless as the only thing they do is alert that a player is in the area. Been mentioned a stackton of times by many. The single worst feature of the patches since they were introduced imo.

Sit in a forest near a pvp hotspot like Stary or NW field..wait for zeds to start popping up in a field which gives you an area to scope and find some poor bugger incoming from nowhere with a low tier weapon, pew pew pew. It makes all the sneaking up to a town virtually useless.

Ummm... newp. They spawn in forests, too.

Do they? In the last patch they used the animal spawns, which are in the fields.

Anyone noticed all these people complaining about 1.7.7 complain about the same things.. "Zombies give away my position" "Zombies are too hard" "The zombie tackle is unfair.."

Go figure....

Can't tell if serious...or if trolling...or both :) 1.7.7 is really, really, good! Just had a crazy session, gona post next few days, bi planes were found, desperate stands against serious zombies were had and a direct chat friend was brutally gunned down as he passed out due to infection as i ran tearing off into the bush screaming sorry...
