Dread Ring, too many zombies

Ever since the +50% HP patch, it looks like the guards aren't able to handle the hordes of zombies infront of the base and this happens all the time:

I've seen people complain about lags when they are in the zone, could this be the reason? Happens on both sides usually.

    It's because the Guards are all Protection Paladins or Guardian Fighters. It takes too long to kill anything. :neutral:

    Guess they need to change it so that more don't respawn until the current wave is all dead.

    Yea, I saw that when I was in there. Figured I would help the guards out and killed the zombies for them.

    Meanwhile, inside the dread ring camp, guards are practicing on dummies:

    They are even taking turns on who beats the dummy...

    I wasn't able to get inside the camp or leave it, without being knocked off my mount, the zombie problem is really getting out of hand.

    They're filming the next episode of Walking Dead there, lol.
    Well, I was killed by a massive horde once at the DR campfire... my friend tried to escape and they folowed him at Knox spot!
    It was funny to see but looks like a problem, yeah...

    Perhaps after so much training those guards will improve their ability to fight zombies in future updates ;)

    You forgot to mention how awesome it was dying to them when you're on a low geared alt trying to get a purple mark ;D

    It's not that there are too many zombies that spawn, but the guard AI is atrocious. As the screencap shows, they end up either permanently aggroed to the training dummies, or pulled really far away from the camp entrances where they then go on an eternal coffee break instead of leashing back. Once either of these happens, that DR instance is bugged until it closes, which is usually only going to happen for maintenance.

    I've found the female guard fighting down at the Iron Golem mob group just today. Our guards are not doing their job! We demand justice!
