More players vs more infected

[Ultimoses 110]

As it seems like the devs are struggling to get a good enough server performance for improvements in both player and infected count (correct me if i'm wrong), what would you more like to have? Would you either have 100 players but only 10 infected in Cherno, or 100 infected in Cherno, but only 40-50 players?

Honestly, it's not that their having a hard time, but more so focused on getting EnFusion fully up. I have no doubt we will reach a point where we have hundreds of zombies, and 100 players. Of course, this won't happen for a real long time. :P

if it was one or the other I'd rather have the infected.  If I wanna kill people I'll buy whatever the newest Battlefield is.

I also hope the new construction and bases attract the zombies - so it feels like a threat so the zombie AI deals damage on locked doors and other building assets similar to seven days to die game.

More Zeds please!

 

Not saying 100 players wouldn't be good but it is a Apocalyptic Horror Survival game without much Horror atm. ;)

Yeah, zombies arent such a big assholes like players.

Both. That's what the team is working towards.

Tell them we want 100 times more infected than we have now. :)

Honestly, more infected. Human population should be sparse. encounters should be a big deal unless your in a hotspot. 100? hell no! only if the map were the size of arma 3's altis. with current chernarus i's say 50-60 tops that i'd consider a 'good experience'. that said i like the idea of wandering the countryside for hours without nary a sign of human life.

Infected if i had to choose.  Didn't vote though, met the quota for this year ;P.

More players won't change the dynamic too much imo. More Z's will.  I'd see 100players as an upper maximum.  At 64 it personally does feel like enough for the most party.  Berez/Cherno/Elek/NW are popular 'meeting spots'.

 

I know 100 won't be the following: but i don't want an MMO feel where players litter the fields like mice.

[Nebulae3 422]

It all depends.. So when a server have too many squads, or 20 guys in elektro/cherno - the map feels really empty in other locations on the same map. 

So I think it`s great with 75+ players on this map. The zombies will, of course, increase in numbers which is based on server performance.

Server human populations are pretty crap right now. It doesn't help that they are all condensed around the coast. The coast is a clusterfuck and the rest of the map is a snorefest. Give us 80 players minimum and spread the spawn points all over Chernarus.
