ENDLESS zombies on bloodmoon

[Ak-87]

so i was playing this a month before it released and on the 1st blood moon you only had to kill 30-50 and it was over the rest of the night was good for looting and what not. so i have never died on the first blood moon before but i died on this was after killing like 80 zombies so i thought that was weird didnt think much of it got extra prepped for the 14th BM and dude they was endless from 22-4 non stop zombies i shot over 400 shotgun shells with my pump and over 300 with my pipe machinegun and over 500 with my little pistol i shot so much i had to go back in my base and fix my guns cause ive never seen that on a day 14 BM soooooooo what im trying to say is thank you i had a MF blast everything i wanted from a zombie game

Yea, they upped the difficulty and I like it. Now you better prepare for endless zombs that will wreck your sh!t or your gonna die.

I’m not sure what goes on, but my buddy and I have been finishing the blood moon zombies before 4am. It seems like around 3am things just kinda end.

One of the downsides of endless zombies is that there doesn't seem to be a reason to kill them when they are immediately replaced.

Its fun and you can farm XP but I mean that there is no reason strategically. Aside from taking out some of the harder hitting zombies.

Just finished a 14 day of a bloodmoon horde, not to bad except for the stream of screamers that turned up at 4am, they never stop, they were still appearing at 10am OMG in the end I had to leave the horde base for around 10 mins before returning so they buggered off. I am OK with the screamers but they are still screaming when they cannot see me, so its endless

My first bloodmoon I only used a wood club, but I did have a horde base that allowed me to stand back and bash them as they come.

Oh dear, there's actually a challenging bit in this game..? Oh noes..

you changed the daylength from default to longer. that is why it ended before 4 am.

This is probably it. We’re on 2 hour days. What’s odd is it doesn’t always end before 4. Sometimes they run the entire time, 22:00-04:00. Other times it’s like 3-3:30am and they stop.

Personally I like the endless hordes, it gives me a sense of tribulation about horde night that I haven't felt in years.

In most previous alphas I didn't even bother with a horde base until day 14-21 as you could easily take them on anywhere with flatish terrain.

I agree it can be a bit daunting on some later hordes, but I use a combination dropper base with powered door walkways so I can turn the base into an afk dropper base if I need a minute to heal up etc.

Besides the loot bags....

Yes, finally those hordenights are back as they should be. Lasting all night. (At default days that is)

There was literally no challenge for the first few hordenights and you could easily survive them in a small and cheap base while you had 28 days to build a proper one that can take a big horde that lasts all night.

A very welcome change indeed.

The bloodmoon horde always used to be infinite spawn between 10pm and 4am, then it changed for some reason to a finite number of zeds (depending on settings I assume).

I much prefer it this way, more of a challenge. I am having to think about my base design carefully for the first time in years. Bring on the XP!

idk i think its done rather cheap and simple, its like the easiest way they could have done it. like 8 mobs tht just instant respawn as soon as u kill one, for 6 hours.. it was fun the first time but meh quickly gets tedious. its like the main gimmick of the game and they could have done so much more with it to spice it up and make it more interesting. it just feels pointless, no matter how good u do they just insta respawn.. if u dont need exp just afk somewhere safe untill morning and the 8 mobs can stand there and drool

Actually it´s just a mechanic that returned. It used to be like that for a long time probably for the majority of the time since 2013.

Those short horde nights were just too easy. The horde never was a real threat as you had way too much time to prepare for the all night hordes.

Until the game stage starts bringing in the demo guys, then you are just screwed.
