I loved Days Gone. Such an underrated game (that sadly won't get the sequel that was teased). Pretty sure some of those hordes were numbered 100+.
That being said, I think TFP's main concern with having hordes that have higher numbers than your typical horde night is the hit in performance. Based on your settings, the max number alive on a horde night is 64. It would be nice if wandering hordes could get large like that and I've always been curious as to why they don't have a setting for that.
In the meantime, I've been playing the GNS Hellish Horde mod that does a really good job of increasing the overall size of wandering hordes. It also adds special zombies like mutated and zombie bears (slight chance) to the blood moon hordes. Highly recommended.
Count ears after a horde, I have gotten over 200. I think the one behind the waterfall/lake is the largest in the game.
While I would love to see real TWD type hordes (@%$# I would love to see a TWD game that doesn't suck), you're talking about a game with a static map vs one that is fully destructible voxels. There just isn't enough compute.
Hell even Project Zomboid, which is much simpler graphicswise and has some pretty large hordes, they still leave a lot to be desired.
I still think they could do something like Dying Light where they have huge hordes but most of them the AI is turned off, only the ones near you, and only so many can be active at 1 time, but it does give the illusion of a huge horde instead of them just spawning out of the air. I'm talking the original, no idea how the sequel does it since I gave it a miss.
Anyway, that's not what I'm here to talk about, I came to talk about
the draft the loot in the latest build. Was it significantly overhauled or was I just a lot luckier this time? I seemed to be stuck getting the same weapon mods over and over. I've gotten a much better distribution this go. Otherwise the old mod I removed was really @%$#ing things up.
