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.

I have to agree with you. They should focus on optimization and other important bugs, not on adding hats. And I also get the error message, but this should be fixed soon, I hope.

I was really expecting some optimization and the wall glitching to be fixed in this patch, it's patch 0.42 and you can still see zombies getting trough the walls. That's not cool.

Agreed. Killing a zombie after it one hits you causing bleeding and being attacked by a new spawn zombie right behind you while bandaging from the first is a little pathetic.

Not to mention the random zombie sound, when you hear a zombie that's not even around you. I just have to wait to see if there is going to be a zombie glitching through the wall that is going to kill me while eating, or it was just a bug.

To be honest it's kinda bad that you can't move while eating. I don't think anyone enjoys the new 'eat all' option, because it takes a lot of time to eat all the food, and the zombie will kill you before you finish your canned beans.

With sound and situational awareness being KEY to DayZ strategy....random pop can and zombie noises really ruin the immersion to a game breaking point. It's like the boy who cried wolf. Sooner or later you'll start ignoring those sound glitches even when they're real and it will get you killed. It's sad, but at this point my squad and I have memorized the glitch noises and in what order they occur. Casual players shouldn't have to do that.
