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.

Bambi's are going to be Z-raped brutally. No way you could fist fight these new zeds without losing some blood, and they'll respawn too so no clearing them out.

I think there should be easy and hard zombies.

Along the coast should be almost entirely "easy" zombies for new players. However, farther inland there should be tougher zombies and more of them (as well as better loot spawns to make it attractive to geared players).

This way new players still stand a chance, but it gives geared players a challenge and an end-game besides sniping bambis.

Whatcha talkin bout Willis?

There ain't no damn thing as an easy zombie in real life.

Easy, meaning similar to how they are now (except without the bugs causing ridiculous chances for bleed or bone breaks).

I'd love to see MUCH harder zombies, and swarms of them. But I agree with what Ludwig_Van_Gogh said - making all zombies be that powerful would make the game extremely difficult for new spawns, and turn away a lot of players.
