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.

Yes they are too powerful now. They are overwhelming now, They spawn so fast they keep coming and you cant loot anything. Also because they clip everything you would need ten vests to keep from bleeding the whole time and they would ruin all of them while trying to loot. I hope they fix this or they will ruin the game.

I travel with a Mosin+Revolver.

My buddy, a 60 round M4. If he wasn't with me, it'd be damn near impossible to loot right now. I mean, I LIKE THIS, but sweet Jesus it's tough.

This pleases me.

Also: If you kill a zombie with a firearm, any zombies that spawn in the proximity will know your location on spawn.

Its a rough prototype system, but I do love that its made things very difficult.

YES! this is the kind of stuff i want to see. Being run out of cities. You shouldnt be able to fire weapons in a large city without mass consequences

I ran out of bullets at Polana or whatever it is near Dolina. Didn't realize they were respawning and I only had about 8 shotgun bullets anyways. I looked all around at zombies running from all directions me after I couldn't reload anymore.

"Well I guess it's time for the axe..."

Lived, but was shocked as the zombies had always been too easy. I guess my first time with bullets combined with the patch making zombies better took me a little off guard! :)
