Alpha 15 7 Day Hordes Underwhelming

[Ringo Starr [Sgt.Pepper]]

Playing with High and now Very High spawn rates. Day 21 horde, I only saw 1 feral and 1 cop and not that many zombies they came In drips and drabs, I was level 80 at the time. Day 28 Horde, must be nearly level 100, more zombies than last time, maybe 3 cops, none at the same time, and zero Ferals. I've now moved to the large hotel, right on the top floor. Day 35 horde, now on very high spawn rates, I saw no cops or ferals, not to many zombies either. ( Could be because of how high I was though).

Am I the only who thinks they're underwhelming? Coming from Alpha 14 where the hordes were continious throughout the day because of a bug now that was something, not asking for that to come back though.

10 Minutes ago i survived the Day 49 Horde.
I was Level 133 and i saw 1 Feral Zombie, some Police and Spider Zombies and the rest was normal Military, Football ect. Zombies.

The difficulty was Default but when i think back Alpha 13-14 Horde were 1000% stronger.
Iam not sure if you need more Players or if they get stronger even after Day 50 or which Settings you need to Tweak.

But yes Alpha 15 Hordes are realy underwhelming.
The Game is still Great and all the new Stuff is realy cool.
But make the Horde great again!

We went for 5 horde nights in a row around the 70-90 day mark on normal that had 0 zombies of ANY kind show up.
It was freaking us out that absolutely nothing came in so many times in a row. Now I will say we had mini hordes come running up during the days, larger than what would normaly show up so we thought the game wacked out somehow

Well we reset the server and have had 3 of the WORST over runs we had seen in some time. Multiple ferals, multiple cops, you name it, WE HAD A LOT!

So maybe a server reset is in order to flush the bugs out?

i had zero turn up on night 21, found them tho, they had spawned on a nearby prisons wall and were stuck behind the railings, railing are gone now lol :)

I do agree they are a little underwhelming. On the server I play on, day 140; level 148; over 1.1k kills, no deaths and saw maybe 4 cops and 3 Ferals. I did see A LOT of Zeds coming. I was dispatching the waves very efficiently, so they respawned more quite fast, but with the way my base is built and how easy it is to defend it - it felt like being at a carnival's shooting gallery.

I wouldn't mind that on Day 7, starting at midnight, until Day 8; 1 minute past midnight, it IS Feral Day. Now THAT - could be "terrifying". But I'm crazy like that - doubt it'll ever happen - unless it becomes an option or is editable in the .xml files.

[Vintorez]

I believe it is in fact editable in the xmls. In the entitygroups I believe you can edit which zombies spawn on which difficulty levels. So do a little testing to find which horde level you're hitting (Example, you get a lot of hazmat and miner Z's, so find the wave in the xml that brings hazmats and miners) and then either lower the horde levels that ferals and cops show or edit the exisitng spawn groups.

You can also edit the algorithms to determine horde lvels, so you can math it out to increase the more dynamically.

day 1XX , level 1XX ,mode to easier than default ,day 7 hordes

more than 25 cops(one time appear about 3-6 cops)
more than 10 ferals
more than 15 spidermans
more other zombies but total appear about 10 at the same time(program seems set to 8 but I think 16 are better)

If you want to tweak it, it's in config/gamestages.xml. There's a pretty good description of how to set it. It's currently set to 8 regardless of stage/level. They also explain how to punch ahead using the console to see if higher stages gets better or you actually just need to tweak it to fit your style.

I'm generally with OP in style and mostly play SP (which has team size limit) so I'll be adjusting mine up. Send more zombies!
