Found Zombies Wandering Through Forest on Test Server

[Deathlove 2286]

Thats a pretty good sign considering they were REALLY fare away from cities. Looking forward to seeing more stuff like this. Unless this isnt anything new on test servers lol.

I've not seen this happen on the experimental branch prior to today's update.

on the coast but quite a ways into the forest headed to electro and actually past it. Not stopping in that damn town for anything.

the experimental update .37 introduces minimalist zombie respawning.

 

From initial reports I've heard, I wouldn't really consider it to big of a deal though, they're just getting the system in, but it looks like they've also increased spawns.

 

Once true zombie AI is present, the game is optimized to allow for more dynamic objects, and the respawning is made more "robust" i think we'll be in a good direction as far as zombies.

I had a similar encounter awhile ago. It was on stable branch however...it's been awhile and I can't remember where we were exactly. There were trees around...

 

Anyway

 

It was just one zed, standing around...not really harming anything or anyone. Naturally we kill it, next thing we know we are getting swarmed.

 

About 5 or 6 more popped up and rushed from behind us.

 

After it was all said and done, my pal and I looked at eachother and wondered wtf we had wandered into.

 

Haven't experienced it since, and unfortunately I wasn't recording at the time. Weird shit though.

I found a place on stable outside of gvozdno where a couple of zeds spawn in the forest. at first I thought maybe they just chased someone out there so I axed em and exited for the night, when I logged back on the next day to a different server there were zeds there again, so I axed them too. on experimental I've found zeds in the black forest, a couple of groups of three on more than one occasion.

Idk just the fact that iv been seeing them roaming inland on steep hills and crap like that still is an improvement.

This happens when someone logs off with zombie aggro. The aggro'd zombie will just stay wherever the person logged off, which could be in the middle of the woods.

The others could have just stopped because he got out of their LOS earlier than the last one, and then swarmed you once they heard you.

aha, i will crap my pants if i ever hear the sound of one in the woods

 one of the instances I mentioned before happened on experimental thru a server reset, I killed the three I found spent a few minutes trying to get my bearings when the server reset and low and behold another set of three zombies. the time it happened near gvozdno I killed the three I found and logged out for the night when I logged back in the next day and to a different server there were again three zombies. there is simply no way I am going to believe that those two cases in particular are a result of zombies with agro loosing LOS and stopping there cause if that's the case I need to go to las vegas.

I would try not to do that. You would look pretty silly when it turns out to only be a rabbit....
