Life expectancy is going down. What do you think is happening?

I really dont understand why people have such a hard time spawning without a pistol..

It is so easy to not get killed by zombies and still loot buildings you just need to find out wich type of buildings you can easily loot without any weapon (going in a building and run onto the stairs with the only way to go down again being the same stairs is not a smart thing to do when getting chased by zombies. weapons are easy to get and melee weapons are almost up for grabs near spawn sites

Eh, I have no complaints about it, but I'd argue it's not entirely that easy. Weapon spawn rates have definitely been somewhat lowered and it can be difficult now. I searched both fire stations, the church, the market, 2 houses, and the offices in Elektro earlier and found 1 hatchet, and that was all weaponwise. <_<

PLUS, the fact that zombies seem to spawn so often in buildings now, and their hearing is messed up rather badly as of now through walls, so if you even get near a building with a zombie in it, it gets agro'd instantly. If you're looking for a weapon at the time, your only option, besides being lucky and losing it before alerting another running away, is to hope to find a weapon in a random building fast.

Also broken bones rates being increased and morphine rates decreased, along with the knock out chance getting up'd makes it even more difficult.

And even with melee weapons, unless you're lucky or get real decent with the melee weapons, you will slowly die and end up with broken legs or something eventually using them. I typically am at about 8000 blood when I reach 30 or so zombie kills with the hatchet.

I think I can answer this with a simple image

Oh my gods, yes.

pretty sure its people respawning instantly over and over again trying to find the spawn they want. that plays hell with the average im sure.

Lives less than two minutes old aren't counted in the database.

A few weeks ago it started going up rapidly too, even Rocket wasn't sure.

I heard that really short lives, for spawnpoint hopping, don't count toward the stats.

Anyhow, I agree with the poster who said it was broken bones. This is my main gripe with the game now, starting without morphine. Good chance you'll get hit and get a break, and then there's not really anything to do but suicide and start again. Had many games ruined by this.

I know I see people who are obviously killing themselves on purpose, coming up as dead every 30 seconds or so. That could be a big part of it lol.

Not half as boring as spawing in the middle of nowhere and having to run down the coast ten minutes to get anywhere worthy of looting.

As far as I can see, if I don't spawn near balota, cherno or elektro, there's not much point in continuing. I mean, I'm going to balota, cherno or elektro anyway, so why spend ten super dull minutes running when I can just respawn?

Doubly so if you're playing with some friends.

Game would be better if you could choose where on the coast to respawn.
