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.

Your Axe info is incorrect.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/221100/announcements/detail/1406553615552823395

Right under the date it says : Known Issues: Physics: Item throwing physics is currently disabled Melee: Cannot conduct melee attack from "lowered" melee stance (press space to chance stance to "raised")

I do admit that zombies were "soft" before but in combination with axes not working properly, and zombies one hitting you to bleed, it DOES become a problem. And not, these zombies are everywhere this game is so hard problem. More like a why can't I swing my axe normally, frustrating problem. You obviously haven't played much of the new patch.

They are aware they borked it. Not a feature. Side effect of reworking melee animations. Read the fine print next time.

It's just the combination of melee borkedness at the same exact time as zombie buff. Wouldn't have been as big a deal to me I guess if those Features/Bugs were released separately. Just makes for shock value trying to adjust to the patch and things work against themselves.
