Zombie Invasions Bugged?

We redeemed 16 sets of salvage trying to spawn one and got nothing.

It was night time (the ghosts were out in Croatoa) and we got zilch.

Anyone else able to get a zombie invasion going since... like today?

you won't spawn one all the time. it is a chance to spawn one.

The reported percentage is 20%.
We tried 16 times.
The odds of 16 failures in a row is .8^16 or 2.8% chance.

Its within the realm of possible.... just highly unlikely. Thats why I was asking if anyone has seen one in the last day or so.

I haven't personally seen one, and looking at my chat history for today, I didn't see one all day today either.

For what it's worth, there is a new invasion for this Halloween.

If I remember correctly when we figured it out last year. It wasn't all night that the event would trigger only after midnight game time. If you talk to a NPC who's name starts with a certain letter (don't remember which one) they will tell you what time it is "in game". Wait until after midnight and try turning it in.

Midnight is on the :00 and :30 of each hour. We turned in some before 10:30 and some after 10:30pm last night. nothing. There were ghosts in Croatoa so it was "night time". So unless the game servers are way off from the atomic clocks (yeah, i have a radio signal synced clock on my desk), we were in the right time window.

The game time definitely does not consistently appear in synch with "wall clock" time.

There was a zombie attack on Virtue last night, so I'm not sure if this is happening on all servers.

did you do it on one side only? i also have heard that both factions need to turn in salvage.

Unless it's changed, that's definitely not the case.

Both debunked theories.

It could also be that they decided, "Let's shut down the zombies starting at the beginning of October to build anticipation for the Halloween event."

It does every time I am watching, and it's documented on the Wiki: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Time
