zombies spawn

[cashgrany 0]

there is a serious problem with the spawn of the zombies; I do 100 to 200 meters, that there are already new ones who have respawn, it is necessary to correct that.

That's what they are supposed to do.

it sucks, it's supposed to be a simulation, when you kill the zombie in a city there should not be any more; it's pissing.

DayZ is not a simulator.

Didn't Hicks talk about how important it is to be able to clear a town to loot? I remember him talking quite in depth about it in a SR (Where is Hicks by the way?) last year. It was when they re -doing infected and trying to increase their counts (around the time .60 hit). There used to be an exploit where if you stood outside a city and looked in from a distance, you could tell if anyone was in that city because the zombies would either spawn or not spawn depending if anyone was there. There was a lot of balancing done on the infected at that time, trying to achieve a balance between not seeing the zeds spawn in from a distance, but also being able to clear a town to loot it. Is being able to clear a town of infected a behavior that we can no longer expect?

If I recall correctly, currently the map is divided into large "sections" (how large/many, I don't know) which will get populated by zombies only when players are in them. This is supposed to be a happy medium between spawning a set amount of zombies across the entire map regardless of where players actually are (making zombies seem more sparse than they should), and only spawning zombies within a range of each player (which is what the mod did and what the devs want to avoid due to the metagaming it causes). Just because you see zombies in a town doesn't mean someone is actually in there anymore. Most likely they're there at least because you're watching.
