Zombies spawn from further away.

[pvt_ammo@hotmail.com 164]

Make zombies spawn trigger much further away. 200 meters is way too short. A few reasons for this, the first is simply aesthetics, it looks awful seeing zombies just pop up all over the place.

The second reason is this ability to tell if other players are within a town. They almost act as an early warning system. Are there zeds in town? Yes. Then there are players in there too. It removes any element of surprise with entering a town and removes any element of stealth.

Spawn triggers should be at least double what they are now, but should be much more if possible.

I searched for this and found this thread. I agree with everything above.

I would suggest the zombie spawn distance be equal to the view distance so a player will never see a zombie spawn.

With the latest patch, the zombies aggro for no reason...Spawn 10 feet in front of you...They still come through the walls...They still teleport all over the place...They are basically more broken than they were before :P

Sadly I have experienced the above as well. I would think you would not have zombies spawn ontop of you and instant aggro but it happens to me all the time. I go into a small encampment, clear out the local horde, and about 5 minutes later (sometimes way sooner) they start popping back up right on top of me and instant aggro. I can't even count how many times I thought I had an area secure with baracades and wire and such just to have a zombie spawn inside my defenses or just walk right through them like they are not even there.

I love how immersive this game is but when this stuff happens it totally takes the immersion out of it for me and frustrates the crap out of me.

Seeing them spawn in one spot, and then feather out, is just disappointing.
