State of the Zombie MOD Server Union Address

ZE shouldn't be easy mode. And exactly what Zero said.

Uhm... the fast zombies have the same settings that the predator zombies did before the most recent update. So basically you are complaining that the zombies are not also invisible!? For the update the specs for the predator zombies were lowered slightly so that the fast would be faster but not any faster than other zombies already were. The only real change has been the deformed which are still the slowest compared to the others on ze maps.

As for new maps those should be in the maps request section.

As for map votes I do not make that plugin

As for vote mute there is no plugin that does this that exists that actually works.

What about the other things?

I'll double check the speed settings in-game.

ZE shouldn't be easy mode. And exactly what Zero said.

I never said ZE should be easy mode, I said it should be balanced. Don't put words into my mouth.

And I still stand by having the zcookie auto-buy being the default, and fire time being capped, automatic alltalk, and automatic server resets, and fixing up the various things (RTV, zombie spawn settings, noblock) that need to be tweaked. The server needs work to be as fun as it could be.

How are you going to balance something that factors experience and knowing the map?

[ZERO]

That is why when there is a map that needs to be configured differently people need to make a configure thread so I can investigate it.

Could there not be a whole other zombie just for ZE maps?

8k hp - escapes are not necessarily meant as killing maps, so high health will keep most zombies alive
knockback - low but still enough to keep them away while running
speed - slightly faster than humans, they do have to have a chance of catching up, not just at choke points
jumping - just high enough so they dont need to crouch jump, this is another way for zombies to catch up, but not stupidly fast



And I would just like to LOL at the people so concerned about points on a zmod server, pretty funny stuff considering humans just sit behind a cade unloading clips just to get a kill, very little skill required. You just have to get lucky you get to a good spot without any idiot following you.

I would not totally say that, we have a lot of skilled zombie mod players who are good at what they do. Sometimes setting up a barricade can be a total bitch.

I really miss the older rank system which brought more teamwork than this does Rank probably keeps a lot of our players still on here.

As for splitting the server it would probably split our community in half too much as we only have about 32 people max on the zombie mod on the weekends. To split the server would more than likely mean splitting the amount of people we have in half, or even quarter. it would be a better idea for us to set a limit of how many escape maps can be played per barricade maps:: example:: per 4 barricade maps is 1 escape map.

Not sure if its possible but like I suggested before shorten the map times. Move through maps quicker. Make ZE something like 3 rounds before the next map vote. I forget how many rounds before a map vote it is but maybe 5 on ZM until the next map vote. Again I don't know if this is possible.
