Never ending spawning zombies

Virginia Server (16 I think?)

Myself and friend were picking up supplies in the long barn/warehouse in Prigorodky. We aggroed a zombie ran into the barn and began to fight the rest off for about 30 minutes. They just kept coming. I went from 4 kills to about 56 kills. My friend had 40something kills before we ran to the hills. It was a never ending flood. Even after we killed all those zombies, we looked back at the town and it was fully spawned.

Agree'd. With the new "accelerated spawn times" it does not give you time to kill all the zombies you have currently aggro'd before the new zombies spawn. Thus while killing the old ones the new ones get aggro'd as well. Last night and this morning me and a few of the 7Cav guys experienced this.

In one instance with only 400 zombies in the server we killed almost 200 on the north end of NW air field with a winchester and m4. They did kill us. Today at the fire house on NW airfield the same thing happened. We would kill all the zombies except the hoppers. By the time the hoppers got to us the next set of zombies spawned, and ofc when we kill the hopper, all the new ones aggro. Rinse, Repeat.

Please delay spawn times back to normal or something to fix this issue.

*Edit, my apologies this is posted in the wrong area . . . will look for a more suitable area to post this.

I had no issue with the spawn numbers of 1.5.7. The only anyone had with it was that the zombies would respawn too fast to clear everything out. Now instead of reducing the respawn time it sounds like it was cranked up.

The spawns aren't bad when you are actively taking zack out as he runs at you, when you hole up in a building it provides easier targets, but as you noted, by the time the crawlers/monkeys get to you, more have spawned and will hear the shots. In a way this works towards discouraging abusing the zed mechanics walking indoors TOO much (pop in for a few, find a lull, move out to exterminate those still coming before more spawn).

A freind and myself held up in a barn.

On the way in there was 5 or 6 zombies in the area.

While in the cover of the barn the Zombies attacked. We killed 10 then 20 then another 12 they kept coming.

After killing some more we departed thebarn and moved towards a few houses. All the zombies respawned and attacked.

I ran up a hill to a tree stand while my buddy went the other way. He tracked another 12 to 15 back to the stand where we killed them but it was too late for him.

I looked back at the houses and barn and the zombies had re-populated a few moments later!
