Nomad 1.6.1b Released
Hello Survivors!
Looks like people overall are enjoying the Blood Moon update, but I got some feedback regarding the balance of zombies when the Blood Moon is active.
Blood Moons were originally designed to be end game content for people who are Level 10, full talents and full Legendary weapons and armour as well damage increase accessories. You are supposed to die and slowly progress getting Lost Souls so it makes your next Blood Moon more manageable.
But it seems many people are missing that point and are wanting to participate in Blood Moons with little or no gear. This is overall fine, there's no point adding fun events into the game if people can't play them without spending a bunch of time first.
This patch will aim to nerf the Blood Moon so it's more manageable but still needing gear to properly survive. The spawns of the zombies have been drastically reduced but keeping the same buffed health and movement speed.
I have also noticed quite a bit of lag when zombies are spawning within Blood Moons. This is because many people are using cars and the zombies are just spawning behind and not aggro'ing anything. Leaving the server with over 200 inactive zombies spread throughout the world. This patch aims to fix this by deleting all none aggro'd zombies every time new zombies spawn. Keeping the zombie count low but not interfering with them if they are aggro'd onto a player. This should also help a lot when surviving a Blood Moon.
Read below for the full changelog. It's nothing major, just a simple balance update for Blood Moons.
