More zombies? Only in certain areas.

[battlerhd 116]

So I played the mod after spending a lot of time in the SA and in the mod zombies are actually a problem with out them being to annoying, adding more zombies in places like Cherno just makes sense, so you can't just walk in the town and only get aggro by 1 or 2 zombies but them zombies spawn more on to you, hell no. Make the city a dangerous place for everyone including geared players. Make it so you need to plan a route around the roaming zombies instead of just walking in the middle and not seeing a sausage. I don't want anything like this to be added anytime soon with the current situation of the zombies but when they are fixed then this is what should be added, making players think if they want to go in the to town knowing that there will be a lot zombies there.

In fact for both balance and realism zed should be in high concentration in big city, really small concentration in small city, if their is a 10 house town, only 1 or 2 zed max, but in extremely high concentration in military area !

Mainly in combination with my idea here :

Which is i think the best idea for zed respawn (cause if they respawn in the same area than us and are in high concentration, it will be impossible)

But i think it is planed, they just fix zed first and improve server performance/stability before doing this, i mean i hope they do but it seam logic that they will do it !

I think maybe there should be things like zombies in cities. Maybe really packed into places like a hospital or somewhere else - maybe even a place where an unwitting player can open a door and unleash tons of them onto the city.

I love the releasing idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine opening a garage or container and 3 or 4 zombies attack you. Or open a hangar and realease a small horde. This would completely change the gameplay inside cities!!!

but with this, players should be able to the Zeds easier.

Or make more "random" sounds in the area, where many Zeds are locked in. Like sqeaking doors, things falling down, etc. So if you don't watch out, you let Zeds free.

But if you are careful and listen, you could hear, and therefore try to avoid them.

 

 

But all in all: Yes.

cities like Cherno, Elektro, Svetlo and Novo should have high amounts of Zeds (maybe 40, 60 and moreß), whereas smaller cities/villages (like Zelenogorsk, Kransnostav, etc. should have a maximum of 4-10)

 

 

again: But all this will only work, if the Zed-respawn-timer works correctly. Right now, you kill a Zed, but 2-5s later there's a new one. And this chain doesn't stop. 

Yesterday I killed 1 Zed with an axe, and attracted 3 more (dunno why. Axe should be silent, I thought?). And 2 minutes later I already killed 7-8 and ~another 8-10 were following me, even though it was a small village with a maximum of 10-12 houses (the only "useful" buildings were a piano house and the one, where sometimes good food spawns)

I have not seen one about zombies being in certain areas, only that they are bugged

 This is open word-survival- horror game right ? But honestly I can say that current zombies not scary for me zombies should be changed totally. So where is horror in this game dont tell me pvp encounters are scary of course not. We need zombies scary and doesnt slide on ground, hit trough walls ect.. more zombies or less I dont mind. I just want proper zombies I know this wont happen but I just wanted mention that.

Good server performance and Zombie hordes, with just 40 players you get enough encounters with other people, 150+ the game will be a KoS fuck fest

I thought Rocket was shooting for 250 player servers eventually or do I have that wrong?

And until their is way more objects and that the map grow up WAY MORE this is a stupid idea and its totally opposite to the idea of SURVIVING, in surviving situation you won't meet more people than 1 or 2 per WEEKS maximum, and only if you are close to interesting point, like water point or things like this...

But if server just handle more player and not force anyone to play with bench of people...Okay, but i will certainly NOT going into those server, i play on almost empty server cause most of the player actually are douche bag and KOS for no reason...And also for server performance, i've try the persistent one in Hardcore, only able to find one, no objects inside, lag as hell, random sound from far away player, risk to die for nothing...

 

So maybe you're right about this, but well this is a stupid decision from Rocket, the game will be a huge mess...

Rather than having HUGE horde of zombies, a balanced one that is big enough and with a PROPER respawn system will be nice :

And we don't need more players...Or only if their is a bigger map :
