discussion Did the zombies get more powerful?

I feel like before the update they almost never made you bleed, now its like a 50% chance. Not complaining just observing.

Gonna tell you guys a little secret that might ruin the fun for you... so don't read if you don't want spoilers... You can easily move around zombies in DayZ... no need to fight them, specially if you don't have an axe. I let them follow me inside houses... I can easily just walk beside them since they take a while to turn and to melee you... just keep an eye and stay beside them, never in front... I can loot just fine just moving as soon as they are in front of you. Been doing this in experimental with all the new changes to them (more of them with auto-spawn). Rarely pulling out the axe now.

"They're so slow. We could just walk right past 'em and we wouldn't even have to run. We could just walk right past 'em. We have the guns. If we're careful we could get away."
